Machinima has really taken off lately, and is set to explode as it gets easier and easier to get started. Games like The Sims 2 and The Movies now released give everyone a legup to making their own films.At the other end of the scale, an evergrowing open source community is likewise making it easier to use and create custom content and control the action through scripting. Some games also have level and character editors so you can create these ingame.Machinima is probably the next movement to burst from the underground and go mainstream. It doesnt seem hyperbole to call it the new punk.While its hard to think of something really new happening in popular music, the world of film has never been explored and popularised in anything like the same way. Until now.
