A new documentary, "Grand Theft Hamlet," is filmed within Grand Theft Auto Online, and tells the story of the first staged production of a Shakespeare play in a multiplayer online video game. "The doc is an impressive piece of machinima, a niche but increasingly utilized method of filmmaking that exclusively utilizes in-game graphics to create a cinematic experience," writes Allegra Frank for Daily Beast. Here's the full story (may be paywalled).
this makes me happy. was part of the netart scene back in the 1990s when all these digital art forms were created, and was reminiscing about the early days of Rooster Teeth and Macromedia's machinema festivals.
i thought the genre was all but dead. thank goodness the babies are columbusing artf orms we GenXers created more than 30 years ago.
