The most watched World of Warcraft machinima on YouTube is "That's the World of Warcraft That You Play!" (Ian Beckman, 2006), with 17,012,342 views as of 21 February 2016. This classic machinima music video gives a frank and unabashed rundown on all the classes that featured in the pre-expansion pack version of World of Warcraft (Blizzard Entertainment, 2004).
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.
