The culture of machinima and streams gives birth to new unexpected formats of game video. One of them is the creation of a coherent film story from the game footage.
That’s what they do on the MoonlightButterfly channel. From the filmed content, which includes both cut scenes and game fights and shooting landscapes, they cut films that tell coherent stories.
And if shooting the passage of games, as well as the layout of in-game clips of a single video, are very common today, then creating a whole work that aims to reveal the game story by means of editing and convey the atmosphere of the original title seems to be something fresh and new.
At the moment, on the MoonlightButterfly channel, you can find “movies” only on projects of the Dark Souls series, as well as related Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne. The latest “movie” – based on Dark Souls 3 – appeared just the other day.
