Machinima

=Machinima - "Machine + Cinema" = A portmanteau, meaning, the creation of an animated video using virtual second worlds, combined with traditional cinematic conventions and techniques.

A group of arts educators who were part of the CAP's Leadership Group at the 2008 Governor's Institute for Arts Educators explored machinima as a possible new art form to use in the creation of vodcasts. Their project was titled "Lincoln's SecondLife" Have a look at the resources below to learn more about machinima and try it out for yourself.
