found: CIANT, Sept. 19, 2006(Machinima films, new genre, people shoot films in real-time 3D virtual environments. The actors aren't human, but virtual Avatars or Objects, controlled by user input or scripting and act in a virtual world that is simulated using a computer game. Thus, machinima is a mix of three ways to produce moving images: machine, animation, cinema. The term machinima is constructed from these three words, like this: machine + animation + cinema, pronounced mashinima)
found: Wikipedia, Aug. 31, 2006:(Machinima, a portmanteau of machine cinema or machine animation, is both a collection of associated production techniques and a film genre.... the term concerns the rendering of computer-generated imagery (CGI) using real-time, interactive (game) 3D engines, as opposed to high-end and complex 3D animation software used by professionals. Engines from first person shooter video games are typically used. ... the rendering can be done in real-time using PCs (either using the computer of the creator or the viewer), rather than with complex 3D engines using huge render farms)
