Course Overview Using Noesis Interactives Advanced Machinima video courseware, students learn to create cinematic quality videos using the real-time Source® game engine. Unlike typical animation, no rendering is required. Characters, environments and many effects are intricately choreographed much like those on a film set. Students direct the action and then watch from all angles prior to setting up their cameras and recording each take. Shots can then be adjusted or individual elements switched without detriment showcasing many machinima benefits. Students edit and finish projects using conventional non-linear editing applications.


Objective

Create a 3-5 minute short demonstrating an understanding of both technical machinima aspects (such as choreography and animation) as well as aesthetic considerations (such as cinematography, pacing and plot.)




Supplemental Materials

The recommended Noesis materials, class discussions and video courseware assignments can be augmented as necessary to integrate with existing course outlines. Likewise, additional professor selected readings or research assignments may benefit students during the practical lesson projects above.
