  • Machinima! With Officer Dan: Episode 1 (2006)

    Machinima! With Officer Dan was originally conceived (and ultimately presented) as the opening of a PowerPoint presentation about machinima to the Tribeca Film Festival. It is a basic introduction to the new artform and the first episode in a series of quasi-educational videos about machinima. Counter-terrorist Officer Dan gives a virtual presentation about machinima, discussing box office vs. video game revenues, the origins of the word “machinima”, early history of machinima, and other introductory information.
