Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films

Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development.

To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met:

Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.)
Film infobox ({{infobox film}})
Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.)
Plot summary
Include cast and crew information.
At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.)
Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))

Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF

Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[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
