2005 in machinima

OK kiddo, let's talk about a fun way people used to make movies using video game characters and environments. It's called Machinima!

Back in 2005, Machinima was really popular and lots of people were making their own movies using video games like Halo, World of Warcraft, and The Sims. They would use the video game characters and settings to create their own stories and movies.

People would use special tools and software to record their game play and then edit it into a movie. They could also add their own voices and sounds to make it even more fun.

In 2005, some really popular Machinima movies were made, like Red vs Blue, which was based on the Halo video game. Another popular movie was The Strangerhood, which was made using The Sims video game.

Lots of people loved watching these Machinima movies, and it was a really fun and creative way to use video games.
