Excerpt from: Machinima and education, Diane Carr (Futurelab)
Film and media educators cite similar advantages. Matt Kelland, Creative Director of Short Fuze has been running film-making workshops in schools. Matt argues that machinima offers educators:
“…sets, costumes, stunts and special effects that would be impractical or impossible on a student budget. You can very quickly film a scene many times over, reusing the dialogue and choreography, and see the effect of different styles and techniques. Plus a student can be simultaneously actor, director, writer, cameraman, set designer, lighting engineer, sound engineer, and editor, thus allowing them to appreciate the totality of the film-making process.”
