High-Performance Play: The Making of Machinima [500 kb pdf]
Starts of with: "Do not cite or distribute. To appear in: Videogames and Art: Intersections and Interactions, Andy Clarke and Grethe Mitchell (eds.), Intellect Books (UK), 2005. "
...hence I'll settle for telling you that it is an interesting read, on Machinima, 26 pages including 50 notes and references - many of them online. All in all a good place to start if you are interested in learning a bit more about the phenomenon. Then head on over to the Strangerhood and wait for episode one to appear!
(hmmm... is it OK to cite the comment that it the paper should not be cited? Since the goal probably is to avoid being held to points that might change during final editing, I guess the information is fair use. And no, I'm not distributing it - HE is on his own website... I merely mention that it is available ;D)
No amazon link for the book yet, and not much on the publishers site either. Oh well.
...and the sun is shining but not giving much warmth anymore...
