Machinima Collab

About

Machinima Collab is an initiative to join media theories with design research methods and practices. The project Boba Fett's Day Off is led by director Beth Coleman, an assistant professor of MIT Comparative Media Studies department and lead designer Jenny Mu, an adjunct faculty of Parsons Design and Technology MFA program. The collaboration emphasizes on the real-time modification of game engines and rapid-prototyping development of avatar design. Investigated issues range from modular design, standard skeleton, non-linear animation, reactive animation, generative design, multiplayer interactions, to virtual identify.

Current members of Parsons Machinima Group are Ananya, Brian, Bruce, Esteban, Fengyu, Lawrence, In-Bum, Ingrid, Jason, Rishi, and Valeria. Previous members of MIT Machinima Group include Katherine, Mikail, Raymond, and Stephanie.
