Machinima is the use of real-time computer graphics engines to create a cinematic production. Most often, video games are used to generate the computer animation. It is approximately 15 years old.
My interest and creations in the virtual world has a main focus of bringing ancient Chinese culture through New Media platforms.
In this paper, I will expose two to three main types of Machinimas, and within each type a range of graphic inventiveness and specific purpose for various audiences.
The First is an online Virtual World Platform, Secondlife - which has no predetermined gaming elements, it has a blank volume for users to create their world. It provides storage and the Graphic Engine itself with building tools and scripts. Therefore, it is not yet a game, but an online tool for sharing real time graphic information - to create playing elements - in real time.
The Second type would be the artistic deployment of Video Game engines to record the graphic display as films. This would include regular game play and also creative, inventive use of the characters in the game platform as "talents" in the film.
"Second Life's true advantage is its ability to provide a plethora of virtual filming
locations or, at the other extreme, a blank canvas upon which one can build an
environment quite inexpensively."

-Machinima: "The Art and Practice of Virtual Filmmaking",
by Phylis Johnson and Donald Pettit
I begin first with a Machinima documentary film of the functional aspects of a Virtual World. This demonstrates why for certain real life problems, a Virtual World is a breakthrough and proven to be useful in a unique way which is not possible with other forms of solutions.
Then, I will present the various types of artistic Machinimas, for animation film making and esthetic enjoyment purpose.
Lastly, I will show the current state of Machinima in the economic-business world and the applications of computer animation using video games graphics for commercial purpose.
First group:
Secondlife Virtual World Tool
Secondlife, a blank interactive online 3D tool platform, provides a canvas for players to interact with self-created content
Example 1: Close identification of the avatar with the player enhances cures for Parkinson's disease.
Secondlife investigator : what is inside the world of Secondlife? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyiiWxNguGo

Example 2: Architecture 3D design students using the real time online Global online features.
Collaboration of an architecture project between Kansas University Students with Cairo University using the platform of Secondlife in real time. USA+Egypt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz0yTqo35d8 (part 2)
There are other functional oriented Machinimas, we could imagine, simulation training for firemen, hospital care, briefing diplomats to ease into a foreign culture via a simulated foreign environment, so on so forth.
Next, we will see some Artistic Machinimas. These are chosen for graphic, aesthetic, and quality of the story. I will skip most "Fan-laborer"s work because they require a huge amount of enthusiasm and experience of the specific games for the delicacies of the films to be understandable.

Example 3: Machinima using Online game play with stylish graphics. Habbo Hotel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDJh0hHAkuY
Habbo Hotel : fiction using game engine, live collaborative playing, many players behaving with or without a script
Example 4: Minecraft. Mixed reality
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5sW8jxqQ5g
Minecraft : mixed reality
real life footage + online footage, post production work; with script
Example 5 : Vola Vola, Fly Me. Director : Berardo Carboni
A full feature Machinima made as a maquette for a real life film
Vola Vola : film maquette shot in Secondlife as preparation for the real life feature film
Scripted, with real life actors manipulating the e-puppets (avatars), actors are from around the world, Japan, USA, Italy, Amsterdam. 90mn
Notice the graphics inside the computer of the sl avatar. What we see is Secondlife roaming around by Secondlife avatar. Its a Secondlife for Secondlife avatar.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbroeNoRfRk&list=PLCC11C8482D665F29
Example 6 : Testing of tools in Secondlife.
Swannjie in Tainan: Incrustation of video display with Chroma screen for a short film.
Chroma Green screen with giant tv viewing, live footage from Secondlife.
There are many filming tools created by third parties for the Secondlife platform. And many cinema sets created for film making.
http://youtu.be/3d8qm3iKlM8
Example 7 : Testing of a short Machinima+real life (Tainan), screening in Secondlife.
This is a live screening at the Digital Guqin Museum Garden Lot.
Example 8 : Testing of tools in Secondlife.
Mock up of a real sculpture : Virtual World platform used as a testing ground, a studio for sculpture modelling. It has the advantage of allowing visitors to see the work and walk around it in 3d.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5F1IG0BiAI
Example 9 : Interview of Motion Capture creator in sl+rl, Drax Files
Motion Capture Animation creator :
Drax Files: interview of a motion capture artist in sl from Scotland.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nSJpzzN4Ug
Example 10 : Re building a movie set for the pleasure of visitors. Playing.
Spirited away in Secondlife : The movie set Spirited Away was re-created in Secondlife by a Fan-artist. Visitors could walk around the scenes and be the talent, interact with others and have their own personal stories for memories.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUXPta2koTQ
Example 11 : The Third Cat : MosMax+Chris Marker's Machinima in Secondlife
THE THIRD CAT : by gorrr aka. Mosmax, with Chris Marker's using Marker's cat who visits various locations around the world in the Virtual World, just like he did in real life movies.
http://vimeo.com/16533965
Example 12 : Music video for Danish group "Pixelated Truth"
Giana Factory - Pixelated Truth - Pop Art Lab Music Video Entry
Film produced by FuzOnAcid & Fuschia Nightfire
Filmed in Second Life at Mata Hari, Idle Rogue, Pop Art Lab, Art Maze on Zindra, Mysterious Wave & Saiwa
Particles by PoofmaniaLove Guitar: Designed by Tinkle Pudless
As we could see by this example, for a short music video, it takes a lot of team work.
The talents in the virtual world is just like in the real world, each role is taken by a real person and is manipulated in a co-ordinated script. Lighting, scenario, location scouting, script. It is a total miniaturised film making at a fraction of the cost of a physical music video production.
Loui Foo of Giana Factory said:
"The winning video is amazingly abstract! It pictures an absurdity and a parallel universe,
we could not even imagine existed. We find the colors and the playfulness and creativity
in the universe very attractive. It's unpredictable and avant garde and still pure eye
candy, and has an almost burlesque feel to it. Besides that, we think it goes well with the
tune and keeps the story untold, and it's up to the viewer to create their own."
Actors:

Secondlife expert from Taiwan Nomilly Valeska :
A professor from Taiwan, specialist in Secondlife comments on FB that, 3D virtual world's specific functions are right here, for commercial training purpose.
Why do we Taiwanese not see this future?
3D虛擬世界的功用就在此,為何台灣這麼多人看不到這前景?

Example 21 : Digital Guqin Museum presentation live with Transmusicale Event with Rennes, France.
Mixed Reality - eRobots/avatars : an electronic music+digital art and technology event. This was filmed from both in Virtual World and Real World. There is a documentary Machinima archived by the Transmusicale Organiser. On screen, you see the real world live streaming - it is a two way transfer. The viewers see the Virtual World and could talk to the avatar and the avatar could see the action in the Real World. Somewhat like Skype - but from RW to VW and back. i.e. Ars Electronica in 2009 did a simultaneous broadcast of the mayors opening speech at the opening ceremony with the real mayor on stage at the same time. In 2013, at ars electronica, a Japanese professor presented a robot - replica of himself - to speak to the audience at the same time. His robot is a physical robot - whereas the Virtual World avatar is an eRobot.

It is painted on, like the characters in the movie "A Waking Life" - in fact, this is a way of making "A Waking Life" type of graphics but in animation without having to paint every frame!
If I dressed up my sl avatar in "line drawing" skin, then, the character would be "line drawing" person walking, talking, moving in a simulated realistic landscape.
And my character could be in any type of skin. Its just the background would still be the realistic graphics of existing sl.
In any painting, the foreground and background should be in the same graphic conditions - otherwise the mixing of "genre of painting" would give the viewer of the painting additional meanings that might not be intended. For example to have a real person walking around in a cartoon styled country side - mixing of two different genres - would be sending additional message and not the same as a real person walking around in a real country side.
Example 33 : "A Waking Life"
A Waking Life : Filmed in real life, with post production frame by frame painting :: rotoscoping - It is not machinima - but the artistic hand painting style had influenced the hand painted post production styles in machinima.
