Interview: Machinima Creators Matt Dominianni And Frank Dellario - Page 3

Ill Clan's inclusion into the Electric Sheep Company family doesn't mean the end of Tra5h Ta1k. In fact, it signifies a new beginning. Dellario revealed that within the next few months, Ill Clan plans to bring Tra5h Ta1k live in Second Life, in front of a virtual studio audience. "I think it's going to be huge. It's the first, true, interactive, virtual show," said Dellario.

When asked for advice for aspiring machinima creators, Dellario offered some sage words. "Imagine that someone gave you a mini DV camcorder. There's a whole world out there. Whatever game engine you use, look around and find your story there. There's a bit of a learning curve and you don't have time to make everything from scratch. Start small. Second Life's a great place. Read up on it on machinima.com and machinima.org. If you're on a PC, get FRAPS by BEEPA. It's a program used to capture the videostream coming out of your video card."

Meanwhile, Dominianni offered a few quick but equally helpful tips. "If you know what your story is, focus on telling the story. Take a look at the movies you like and see how the camera moves. A mistake that people often make is that they move the camera in crazy ways."
