Week 2 - Screen Capture Software [April 19, 2012, 3:15 a.m.]


If you have created Machinima you already have some Screen Capture Software, If you do not you will need to have some.  Check the tabs describing some of the software used most frequently on this Machinima Livebinder http://www.livebinders.com/play/play_or_edit?id=306926.  

Jing is a very inexpensive solution for boht PC and Mac users.  YOu can use the free version, limited to capturing and posting without editing, or for $15. you can download a version that allows you to capture up to 5 minute clips.  Download free Jing here http://www.techsmith.com/download/jing/default.asp.  The Jing site provides great step-by step instructions.  It is worth reviewing the instructions.

On Tuesday meet with your group (groups will be figured out on Monday) to begin capturing some action.  Develop  a simple script with your group/partner (don’t take it too seriously, make it fun) Theme is Aliens and Cowboys - adlibbing is always fun!

  • We will meet Tuesday March 27 in SL at  Machinma City (The Cowboy and Alien site) 7:30 SL time to practice capturing film (new machinimatographers) and to share tips (veteran machinimatographers)
