Just so it's clear, I copy/pasted the main code from Template:Infobox television and adapted it. I'm a little new to creating templates, so I'll try and fix any little problems myself. I'll try and think of any additions that may be needed.--DooMDrat 05:34, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] An explanation

Some of the fields may be a little hard to understand.

• Engine(s) means what game engine(s) were used in the production.

• Formats is for the video formats the production has been released in. In-engine, DivX, WMV, Quicktime, etc.

• First release and last release relate to the fact that machinima productions often have uncertain and irregular releases, unlike, say, a TV series. That of course could change as machinima starts to get commercial release.

• Website is the main website of the show, not a link to a download page (such as machinima.com).

[edit] An addition

I've added a "crew" section. I'd be tempted to say that we could actually do with all the different movie roles as options - editor, cinematographer, motion graphics, sound, music, etc - but I'll leave that for now.

Sorry for the slow response, but I've added the following five fields for now: director, producer, editor, writer, and actor control. More can be added as needed. :) — TKD::Talk 07:56, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
