Types of Machinima-AGX *remastered*

1. This is a picture of chief from the IRL/Machinima Arby 'n' the Chief. It features two Halo action figures usually complaining about something in the gaming world. This usually leads to antics that are not very appropriate for younger ages, but are hilarious none the less. In this original hybrid, some parts of the show are shown as the two figures getting moved around by the creator John CJG. Other parts are in a game usually Halo 3.
2. Certain Machinimas are just videos of the game itself like a campaign walkthrough or a multiplayer match like the one above from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
3. There are two ways of recording Machinima on two different mediums. On the consoles like Wii, PS3, or Xbox 360 you need to use a piece of technology known as a capture card which records what is going on on the game. On PC there are a variety of programs that allow you to do screen capture. Some examples are Hypercam, Camstudio, or Fraps. This is an example of screen capture on the MMORPG Runescape.
4. Red vs. Blue is a Machinima that has been repeatedly praised for its comedic genius. This Machinima which has been going on for seven years spanning over 8 seasons, is produces solely in the Halo franchise (with the exception of a few scenes from the Marathon series.) It has lately been one of the first Machinimas to utilize motion capture (For an example go to Redvsblue.com look up season 8 episode 10.) The writers at Rooster Teeth are going strong and will hopefully go on in the future.
5. Inside Gaming is a Machinima that is made twice a week and shows the latest in the gaming industry. The host The Dead Pixel combines funny jokes with the latest news in gaming. When his avatar is on screen it is usually shown in the game Halo 3, but now is reporting from the game Halo: Reach.
