Machinima LoveDonnerstag, Juli 24 | Kino Wintergarten im Andreasstadelpresented by Brigit Lichtenegger aka Evo Szuyuan
Der Begriff Machinima, zusammengesetzt aus Machine, Cinema und Animation, steht für Filme, die mit Computerspielen produziert werden. Machinima-Filme sehen aus wie etwas holprige 3D-Animationen, sind aber nicht im klassischen Bild-für-Bild-Modus animiert, sondern werden live gespielt und gedreht – wie in einem digitalen Puppentheater. Brigit Lichtenegger aka Evo Szuyuan gelangte mit ihren eigen Machinima Produktionen zu internationalem Ansehen und zeigte ihre Arbeiten bereits auf mehreren europäischen Festivals. Ihre eigene Spezialität sind Dokumentationen von In-World Kunstproduktionen wie etwa Konzertperformances des Avatar Orchestra Metaverse, interaktive Arbeiten von Juria Yoshikawa aus Japan oder die Klangskulpturen des Australiers Adam Ramona (program 1). Was die weit verbreiteten Techniken angeht, hängt alles von der Kreativität der Machinimakünstler ab. Eine inspirierende Auswahl aus Werken der besten jungen Talente: Comedy und Mystery, Videoclips und Art House (program2). Einführung und Gespräch sind in Englisch. Die meisten Videos sind auch ohne Sprachverständnis zu geniessen.
Machinima is a collection of associated production techniques whereby computer-generated imagery (CGI) is rendered using real-time, interactive 3-D engines, such as those of games instead of professional 3D animation software. The real-time nature of machinima means that established techniques from traditional film-making can be reapplied in a virtual environment. As a result, production tends to be cheaper and more rapid than in keyframed CGI animation. It can also produce more professional appearing production than is possible with traditional at-home techniques, which makes it possible for anyone to make a high quality movie.
Program 1, 20.00h :: Machinima Art Videos
Besides the machinima technique being used for the creation of new movies of imagined stories, it is also widely used for the purpose of documentation, serving as a link between the real world and virtual worlds. As pioneering artists have started exploring the use of virtual worlds to create new works of art, a range of machinima have been created trying to capture these new experiences. In this programm a selection of art documentaries will be shown that highlight some of the most interesting works of art as well a shine a light on the richness and versatily of the Art World as it exists in Second Life.
