'''Machinima''' are movies made by utilizing the 3D graphics of video games such as ''[[StarCitizen:Star Citizen]]''. Initially called machinema in 1998, it's a misspelled portmanteau of the words machine and cinema.<ref>34: Machinima, Jenna Ng, Debugging Game History: A Critical Lexicon, The MIT Press, ISBN-13 978-0262034197 </ref> <br />

== Star Citizen ==<br />
''Star Citizen''<nowiki/>'s [[StarCitizen:Face Over Internet Protocol|FOIP]] is particularly useful for machinima.<br />
<br />
With the game being in alpha, technical issues are common, so players tend to chose to keep their filming teams small to mitigate disconnection issues, or work those issues such as T-posing into their story.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8za6puhh6dk Quantum Vegas 2955: Session 3: "The Art of Machinima" with Nate Ellis], Quantum Vegas 2955, Youtube, 23 July 2025</ref><br />

Some ''Star Citizen'' players who made Machinimas ended up working for CIG, such as AlexS189 who became Junior Marketing Artist working on cinematic [[StarCitizen:ship commercials]].<ref>[https://youtu.be/3nP9Q0VsN_A?feature=shared Alex189 Interview | BritizenCon - UK Star Citizen Fan Convention], BritizenCon, Youtube, 4 may 2018</ref><br />
