"A Few Good G-Men" from YouTube.com

This machinima that I found on YouTube is a great representation of what machinima is all about. I love the use of audio from a real movie and the fact that it is synchronized pretty accurately to the movements of the character's mouths. I also really like the little gestures that the characters make while "speaking" because it adds another level of reality to it. I truly appreciate the time and effort that the creator put into the design of the level, character animations, camera work, and editing. There are other machinima that parody the games they are based on, and this in a sense is a parody, but I believe that it falls under a more artistic category than other's (such as Red vs. Blue). I like comedy machinima, but I also appreciate more subtle humor, and more technically impressive works. This video is exactly what I look for for inspiration.
