Machinima (it's what I'm doing RIGHT NOW)

I’ve just watched this video (free req required) about machinima, by Paul Marino, Executive Director, Academy of Machinima Arts and Sciences.
This terms is used to describe movies done with games or game engines.

“Machinima is real-world filmmaking techniques applied within an interactive virtual space where characters and events can be either controlled by humans, scripts or artificial intelligence.”

This totally goes along the way of what I was saying about people doing movies in their garage. (I guess I didn’t invent anything then :p) Now imagine what people could do with Santos !!

Moreover, Paul Marino uses a term I really like, which is Ubiquitous Creativity, that is enabling creativity to people who would never have access to it before (remember SimTractor?

Dateline: Thailand

Here I am in beautiful if rainy Bangkok, capital of the representative monarchial democracy Thailand!

I spent the day with Viktor But, getting footage for the imminent Channel Seven news special as well as the documentary feature film MERCHANT OF DEATH which, since it will include this footage, will not only be the biggest budget documentary in Australian history, it will also be the most explosive and the best.

I don't really want to spend a lot of time gasbagging but let's go for some keywords to summarise the trip:

CIA
DIA
DOJ
ATF
Intelligence
Charm
Wit
Luck
Spirit
Courage
