History Main / Machinima

Machinima are almost always {{Web Original}}s, but they have even appeared on television in some form. For example, several scenes from the ''Make Love, Not Warcraft'' episode of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' were filmed in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''. In the past, there were hubs like [[http://gorillagong.com/ Gorilla Gong]] that made it easy to find quality machinima to watch. Creator/{{Machinima}}.com was the original go-to place for machinima, but it eventually became a more standard Website/YouTube entertainment network, [[NetworkDecay even branching out their focus to include comic books and fandom at one point]]. A [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinima complete history of the medium]] can be found at Website/TheOtherWiki.

* Music/{{Gorillaz}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQIn3CREYrs first music video for "The Valley of the Pagans"]] took place in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'''s Los Santos, [[MediumBlending merging their typical animation with in-game footage]] to depict an [[DrivesLikeCrazy insane joyride across the city]]. They even used the game's phone-based interface to display featured artist Music/{{Beck}}. Unfortunately, the video was deleted from the official account (the above link is of a fan reupload) almost assuredly [[ScrewedByTheLawyers because the band didn't actually receive permission]] from [[Creator/TakeTwoInteractive Rockstar Games]] to use their game, with their second video reworking the concept without any video game footage.
