There follows some of the good stuff we've come across out there elsewhere on the web. This isn't by any means anything like a definitive list - just a few things we thought worth passing the word about.

Bandwidth is a real issue with a lot of machinima downloads. Bitorrent is probably going to be the best way to disseminate films. If you don't yet have it, give it a go. It's a much faster way of moving 1s and 0s around on the net. And since files are being shared amongst users, there isn't the same drag on the originator's bandwidth.

		machinima.com - has lots of ace machinima to download. The prime source for this kind of stuff.
		Sims99.com - Tons of user submitted Sims movies. Some of them are of a really high standard.
		Kick - Worth a special mention. Tracechops has mixed machinima and real life video to excellent effect.
		Game On - awarded Best Picture in the 2005 Machinima Film Festival. A man who is really into video games, suddenly becomes a part of the game. But can he escape? Sponsored by Volvo 350.
		The Strangerhood - a kind of sitcom created with The Sims 2.
		Red Vs Blue
		The Highwayman - A tragic tale based on Alfred Noyes' poem, 'The Highwayman', set to music of the same title by Loreena McKennitt. The scene is set in England, around 1770.
		Anna - the life of a flower in a forest. Beautifully rendered, with some great cinematography. This should give you some great ideas of camera movements etc. Created with the Quake engine and I think entirely custom content.
		The Sims 2 horror film competition winners - should give you some great ideas for your own Sims 2 films.
		The Sims 2 new beginnings competition winners - should give you some great ideas for your own Sims 2 films.
		The ILL Clan Movies - including the award winning Hardly Workin.
