I’m not a big fan of machinima... or at least what people have done with it thus far... I do think the format is interesting though. It seems that many of our thoughts and attitudes towards games lend themselves to thinking of it this way: What we are making is a sort of interactive pupptshow.... I hesitate to talk about playing with dolls, puppet ideas connect it more with theater, the directed kind of dolls, allows for the insertion of drama. I would love to make a 3d ShadowPlay (nog altijd)
