Wherein I Coin A New Buzzword
And the word is Lusonema. It is the next step after Machinema/Machinima in that the video game PLAYER physically becomes a live action actor in the "movie" generated by the game.
How? One thing I hope to do with the flight sim cockpit project is to set up video cameras (some static, some with motion tracking) around me to record my actions in operating the simulator. I'd also have a microphone (possibly as part of a headset or helmet rig) to add my speech to the record.
In theory, a real-time compositing can be done in which I can be emulated inside the pilot's compartment of my virtual machine in the game, or in any playback "films" created from the game data records.
I bet people are already doing it. But if they aren't, I want to try for myself to see if it can be done.
