Composition

02 July 2008 | 22:36 - By Mixin Pixel

Making machinima is such a great tool to practice real life techniques, especially when it comes to refining composition. Since the camera is so easy to move, you can easily find a frame that works best.

I recently went to a Machinima conference held in Melbourne. I have been patiently waiting for the audio recordings from ACMI for the last two weeks so I can upload onto the blog.

One of the points raised was that Machinima is so much like real life filmmaking that you should do a film course or at least read some books on filmmaking. The techniques of writing, composition, camera movement and editing are the same for both.
