Machinima is a term that refers to the use of real-time computer graphics engines, often from video games, to create animated films. The word is a portmanteau of "machine" and "cinema." Initially, machinima was primarily associated with games like "Quake" and "Halo," where players could use the game’s engine to generate animated sequences. Machinima can be used for various purposes, including storytelling, satire, and experimentation with animation techniques.
