Machinima ( or ) is the use of real-time 3D computer graphics rendering engines to create a cinematic production.

Machinima has advantages and disadvantages when compared to other styles of filmmaking.

Machinima can be filmed by relying on in-game artificial intelligence ( AI ) or by controlling characters and cameras through digital puppetry.

Machinima productions can remain close to their gaming roots and feature stunts or other portrayals of gameplay.

Machinima creators have used different methods to handle limited character expression.

Machinima has been used in music videos, of which the first documented example is Ken Thain's 2002 " Rebel vs. Thug ", made in collaboration with Chuck D. For this, Thain used Quake2Max, a modification of Quake II that provided cel-shaded animation.

After the QML's Quake Movie Oscars, dedicated machinima awards did not reappear until the AMAS created the Mackies for its first Machinima Film Festival in 2002.

Machinima has been showcased in contests sponsored by game companies.
