[edit] First mainstream production to use Machinima?

I seem to recall an episode of Parker Lewis Can't Lose I saw well over ten years ago, in which the nerdy guy gets addicted to video games. At one point, he dreams of Altered Beast, with his head in place of the hero's. Technically a use of machinima.--Drat (Talk) 13:15, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

No, I wouldn't call that machinima. // Liftarn

They briefly used footage of a video game for story-telling purposes, with a little post-production addition. How is that different from this show, which apparently uses a little bit of Half-Life footage for "virtual reality" sequences?--Drat (Talk) 08:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Machinima is not just using stock video game photage with post-production alterations (for instance putting a live actor in a video game using bluescreen). Max Knight uses the Half-Life engine, but also adds the actor as an in-game character via modding, not video tricks. That's the difference. // Liftarn
