"Depende." Machinima does hold its possibilities, but it is heavily limited by just how little actions any of the characters have. Not everyone can afford a budget like "Red vs Blue" has now, but on the other hand, a eye for cinematography can turn things to become a lot deeper than expected. Here's one machinima artist I've found to very talented: Arbiter 617. Let start you off with just a simple one to demonstrate!, and that;s nothing compared to his bigger work like Zealot!

Me, I see potential for animation, but not owning a console, am sticking to hand-drawn instead. It's a little simpler simpler than I can do now, but here's the first frame: http://Tuckerscreator.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d3flea7

Still half the power in machinima is that power within the limits. As Bernie Burns once put it:

"My guess is there are a couple of animators out there that aren't too fond of Red vs Blue! Because we take their animations and do stupid stuff with them! Like, they spend hours making the Master Chief crouch in a realistic manner. And we use it to make some obscene joke!"
