Just for curiosities sake, what software is genrally used for these kinds of things?You never got an answer and I have one. Traditionally, Machinima has been created using modified game engines. I'm not an expert in that area, but I have seen mentioned: Sims 2, World of Warcraft, Half Life, and there's probably others. There's also a few particularly aimed at making movies, aptly called "The Movies" (I believe) and MovieStorm. There's more to it, such as the question "Is iClone really a Machinima tool?" but that's beyond the scope of this topic.
Coming soon:

| machinima had been based on game engines but has evolved to user created 3d animation - i fact i have coined my own name for it - MyCinema - movies i make for myself, my stories, that hopefully others can enjoy as well
iclone, moviestorm are the two leading targeted software tools along with an older game called The Movies- you also see movies made from second life and other mmorpg

| Here is the Machinima Expo Schedule (for more information see the official website here) as announced by the planners:
Now that the film submissions are over, we can announce the schedule of programming for the 2009 International Machinima Expo. While not as expansive as last years Expo, we feel we have an interesting line up of panels and events that will interest a wide variety of machinima enthusiasts.
The idea this year was to create a main programming schedule and then have several other events running at the same time for people who just aren’t interested in panels, awards or speeches. It’s possible to come to the Expo and spend your entire time watching over 50 films we have selected to screen at the Expo. We will have a separate theatre devoted to just screening machinima. We plan on announcing all of the screened films in the next few weeks along with the times they will be showing, so filmmakers who want to invite friends or simply watch the film themselves can plan accordingly.
Machinima Film Screenings
We will be running all of the films chosen to screen starting at midnight (12AM), Friday, November 20th at the screening Theatre on the UCS island in Second Life. As I’ve mentioned we’ll be noting the times of each film once we determine the exact order and length.
In addition to the general screeners, we will have a screening reel of machinima created by the students of UCS (University Campus Suffolk) and a surprise director’s reel (to be announced).
Main Programming Schedule
Screening of selected machinima films starts Friday night, Nov 20th.
