To produce machinima movies (see link)

Could any of you tell me which applications etc I need to be able to produce machinima movies like this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex1UcWVrdOc&feature=related (That one is some sort of in-game love story produced by Yeh for Games)

I’ve seen the more advanced ones, and I guess that I’d need more software applications for effects etc. I’m however happy to reach the lvl of the movie I just linked, so that I can create dialogue driven machinima movies  Thanks!

 

fraps is good to do the ingame recording, then for the editing you could use either sony vegas movie maker or adobe premiere.

To do the custom animations you take a picture of the area you want and then make a blue screen effect(chroma key) to import animations from wowmodelviewer(http://code.google.com/p/wowmodelviewer/downloads/list).

This is easy to do and there are many tutorials on youtube showing how to do this in either vegas or premiere.

Hope that helped you
