'''Machinima''' is a type of CGI filming style in which a movie or animated short is filmed using 3D models from video games. ''[[Red vs Blue]]'' is a popular machinima made using the games in the [[Halo universe]].


Machinima in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', such as Red vs Blue (seasons 1, 2, and 3), was filmed using the pistol and panning using editing software. In the ''Halo 2'' Saga, it was filmed using the gun-drop glitch, which left only the the HUD to be edited out in post-production.
Machinima in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', such as ''Red vs Blue'' (seasons 1, 2, and 3), was filmed using the pistol, a glitch which raised a character's head if their gun was pointed at the ground, and panning using editing software. In ''[[Halo 2]]'', it was filmed using the [[cease-fire]] trick, which left only the [[heads-up display]] to be edited out in post-production.


The [[Theater]] lobby, or saved films feature in ''[[Halo 3]]'' presented a large advantage to machinima makers.
''[[Halo 3]]''<nowiki/> and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'s'' [[Theater]] is extremely useful to machinima makers. Theater mode allowed machinima makers to record in game and then go back and view it from different angles. The camera was no longer tied to a character and could fly through the air, allowing for more free filming and more natural pans.
