The most watched The Sims machinima on YouTube is "Barbie Girl - Aqua - The Sims 2" (Amanda Haug, 2007), with 24,668,627 views as of 21 February 2016.
Is there such a thing a YouTube one-hit wonder? Considering this parody of Aqua's 1997 hit "Barbie Girl" is the only thing on Amanda Haug’s channel, we’d have to say yes.
Machinima is the art of using real-time computer graphics to make something cinematic. This process differs from traditional film-making as the graphics are often sourced from videogames.
Some of the earliest machinimas were created by editing the gameplay demos in the 1996 first-person shooter videogame Quake, but in recent years, new tools such as Source Filmmaker, Halo Forge and Rockstar Editor have made machinima production more accessible.
