It's not long before Santa engages supercruise to pop between chimneys the world over. We've got a special festive challenge for you: we want you to film a Christmas-themed machinima video (it can be loosely Christmassy) using only in-game footage.
What is machinima? A portmanteau of cinema and machine, machinima videos use video game graphics/engines as a storytelling medium. We recommend watching a few examples and reading a guide, but in brief, you'll need to record in-game footage and narrate over the top of it to tell a story.
There's no minimum video length, but our prizes are ranked, with a whopping $100 prize for the most entertaining, effortful, and well-made video.
Alex is on leave from 9-23 December, so please tag Rich if you have any questions during that period.
