This is...Branding a term of art is key to success.<br /><br />This is my constant rant against people who call SL screenshots "photography". By using the word of another medium - they de-brand themselves and create confusion. The accepted industry terms are digital art or 3D art. 3D digital art to be over-verbose.<br /><br />The accepted industry term for movies and animation made from "video captures of video games" is machinima.<br /><br />It doesn't matter that many of us consider this "not a game" (while slamming french berets down on their heads and looking sophisticated).<br /><br />The world at large sees: 3D, computer screen, pixels, cartoon, characters I create and log into...<br /><br />- And movies made from that are Machinima.<br /><br />To try and label oneself as something else, is to devalue by debranding and creating concept-confusion in the viewing public.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
