Machinima films produced in the Machinima workshop conducted by Isabelle Arvers and Alumbe Namai, Kenyan storyteller

In the frame of Jibambe na Tec at the French Alliance in Nairobi I conducted a Machinima workshop conducted with students from the Dept. of Design & Creative Media of the Technical University of Kenya and the African Digital Media Institute.

Machinima is the art of filmmaking using video games. It approaches video games in a critical and artistic way, in the form of installation, performance, digital painting in movement, games, interactivity or video.

The films we created are based on African folktales. A storytelling session with the seasoned and infectious Kenyan storyteller, Alumbe Namai, has provided the participants with the inspiration to create a series of unique films using real-time 3-D engines.
