Video/Machinima

If you are considering using the webcam to film either a TV or your computer monitor that is a BIG no no in machinima. If you want to record console games, you need to buy a video capture card (popular brands include: Hauppage, EyeTV, Dazzle, Black Magic) and hook it up to your Xbox/Playstation/Wii. If you want to record computer games, you can either use a program like Fraps or WePlay recorder, or, if your computer can handle it, you can use the source recorder to get really high quality video in source games.

 

Hope this helps, I have quite a bit of experience with machinima so feel free to ask me anything.

I agree with GoCrzy, but one word of warning, DO NOT BUY DAZZLE.

I have it and it really sucks. The program needed to record is 1 gig, and its video editing isn't the best. Plus it's not HD, so you need to change all your settings to 480p, which is a pain in the ass. You also need to buy like 4 extra parts, because Dazzle doesn't come with it.
