my first "movies" were made using the coastercam, and peepscam in RCT3. they were made purley as adverts for the parks I made in the game. I will have a look on some of my old backups and see if I can find any of them to share with you all.... (mind you we are talking about 6 or 7 years ago)

(mind you we are talking about 6 or 7 years ago) Thanks, I would be quite interested to see them actually! Were coastercam and peepscam quite popular (I'm quite new to digital animating, so all this stuff really fascinates me) If they were I'll shove them on the poll. Thanks Andy! -------------------- |

the coaster cam and the peep cam, were part of the rollercoaster tycoon game, so that you could watch a render of what your rollercoaster design would of looked like if your were riding it.

Oh right! There were loads of tycoon games brought out if I remember rightly wern't there? Do you know if there were similar "render" options in the ither tycoon games? If so, I'll add a "Tycoon Game" option to the poll. Thanks! -------------------- |

As far as I know RCT3 was the only tycoon game that had this feature, but you might consider adding "game made machinima" to your list.
anyways here is a video I found that i made with just RCT3 and windows moviemaker: http://machinimamania.com/vid/video/MXDO41X5OAHU/frontier I was also a well know rct3 modder way back when, and my mods were very popular with rct3 moviemakers - search for zordork on youtube, and you will find loads of rct3 videos, that used my mods. I also ran a fansite called rollercoastertime (long gone now) -------------------- |

Other - DAnimate on the Amiga (part of Deluxe Paint 3 that came out in 1991)
*edit - your editing the poll to add DAnimate has broken my vote, and I can't re-vote

I first made movies with The Sims 2, played around with The Movies and almost made a movie but wasn't happy with it, went back to TS2 before getting fed up with that and going with MS, which has many of the features I loved about TS2 and a lot of features that TS2 wishes it had...the kind that makes you say "where have you been all my life?"

Moviestorm was my first, and in my opinion from looking at the adverts for other similar programs, probably the best. I wasn't aware of machinima, and in fact, how affordable digital Movie making was until I came across MS. And I couldn't be happier. New content released regulerly, the ability to make your own props (which has helped so much with The Clockmaker's Daughter Armanus) and a fantastic community. And thats just the start. What more could you want? -------------------- |

I got the bug big time from playing the Movies - fantastic product which unfortunately Lionhead didn't really take forward. Well... fortunately for Moviestorm!

I've answered - although, to be fair, I may have rather skewed the results, since I started making animated films a good while before most of the options on the poll existed!

Well, post-Stunt Island and DAnimate, for sure!
My first serious film was made with Quake - the first one. Google "Eschaton: Darkening Twilight" - it was a 25-min piece set in the universe of H.P. Lovecraft, the first part of a series I continued in Quake II before it got abandoned. It was during the filming of the second one that I started referring to what we were doing as Machinima, along with Anthony Bailey. Seems like the name caught on... -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------

I originally checked 'The Movies', but recently saw this on my shelves:
 Definitely came before, although I don't think I ever finished a project with it. |
