4 out of 5 stars Unique and informative.......2004-11-09

This is well written walkthrough of filmmaking with game engines like Quake and Unreal. It starts with a basic introduction to the field. He then goes into installing and using the Machinimation application that you will use to choreograph your film.

The book then follows the path of increasing complexity, starting with moving lights around, then adding actors, animating the actors, controlling the characters and adding visual effects. He then continues all the way through to capturing the video and audio and completing the filmmaking process.

One of the best chapters is the section of cinematography where the author strays from the introductory form to give practical advice about how to make a better film. The chapter on character development is also excellent, showing the development of a character from rough sketches to a full three dimensional model.

I enjoyed this book. It was a well written introduction to a whole new field of artistic expression. Definitely a must buy for those interested in the field. Those who are curious may want to browse it, but won't find enough outside of the strict walkthrough to make it worth the price.

4 out of 5 stars All Aboard!!.......2004-10-08

Marino does a superb job of detailing Machinima's short history, hitting on the high points in its growth from a spark to a major media storm banging down on mainstream media's door.

3D Game-Based Film Making covers most of the basics in the creation of a machinima film while at the same time informing the reader of the many ways that machinima and conventional filming share some of the same techniques and history but also showing the power that machinima welds that sets it apart.

The tutorials in the book are geared for people just getting their feet wet in this vast new medium. Marino takes a slow but meaningful pace so that readers can "walk through" the lessons and have a chance to review the steps they have just taken without getting lost in the process.

The book does have it's shortfalls but I guess this is due to the world of machinima being so vast. Having some of the tutorials examples on the disc would have been nice to have something to compare you work to. Also having some machinima films to watch so there can be some visual reinforcement of what you are trying to create but I suspect it was due to legal issues that they could not be included.

Overall well worth the price for the beginner who is just getting into the medium. The amount of information is staggering but when you go through it, it enriches the journey of discovery into this brave new world.

2 out of 5 stars Will save beginners from countless Google searches.......2004-09-30

I heard of machinima about a week ago in the Economist magazine which also featured comments from Paul Marino, this book's author. A week later and I've got the book, but I'm a little let down but what the book has added to my knowledge.
I'd say someone who has only heard of machinima and hasn't designed their own level in a 3D game would get tons of gems from this book. Whereas poor me with a week's worth of Google searches looking for tutorials on UnrealEd 3.0 and so forth - well I only got enough information to round out my status as a serious machinima beginner.
In fairness, however, after a couple of hours with the book I was able to get the finishing touches I was looking for and successfully burned my first machinima movie to DVD. So it was a small boost I got but a very welcome one (the boost included my spending $29 for the full version of Fraps). So, yeah it will give you the tools in one place to get a finished product.
I am disappointed that Marino ends the book with a tutorial on character modeling. The tutorial is well-written but by its end you'll be looking at a cute character cast in concrete (no words on skinning or rigging, etc). Worse this character will be stranded in a program called Silo (by the way blender from blender.org seems just as good and is cross-platform and a free download) with no hint of the challenge of getting this spaceman into a 3D level designer.
The machinima community would be better served with a tutorial on how to get custom sounds and meshes into UnrealEd et al, and how to do lipsynching.
In short too much time spent teaching you how to use tools (tools generally come with their own instructions and tutorials anyway).
I was also disappointed to find no samples of machinima movies on the cd. These are such a pig to download after all. How about including one and then some kind of analysis about what makes that one sample special.
The book is called the Art of Machinima but it seems more like the Activity of Futzing with Tools.

5 out of 5 stars A guidebook for anyone who wants to make a 3D animated film.......2004-09-08

3D Game-Based Filmmaking: The Art Of Machinima by Machinima and animation film director and designer Paul Marino is a guidebook for anyone who wants to make a 3D animated film on their PC but isn't sure where to start. Step-by-step instructions teach the reader how to apply tools from best selling games such as Unreal Tournament 2004 and Quake III Arena to create Machinima, a new term coined to describe animated filmmaking within a real-time virtual 3D world. Everything from virtual sets to memorable character design, fluid cinematography, tips on editing and distributing Machinima productions, and much more pack this informative guide especially for anyone seeking to fullfill their drive creative expression at extremely low cost.

4 out of 5 stars Get an early start.......2004-08-04

Did any of you go to various Internet World conventions in the 1990s? Where VRML companies extolled its virtues and described how it was the future. Well, VRML was ahead of its hardware. Its successor appears to be Machinima.

Marino gives a nice explanation of its merits. The convergence of 3 approaches. Traditional filmmaking. Animation. And the 3D game techniques spawned by Quake. The text has enough examples to let you get started as your own film director, given a typical PC made in 2004 as your hardware platform.

It may indeed be as Marino suggests. That we are lucky to be present at the start of an entirely new era of artistic creativity. One that is very democratic. For a minimal outlay of capital, you can script and play out your own film. Essentially limited only by your own ability. The equivalent of music synthesisers that let anyone be a composer.

The illustrations in this book also suggest that these are early years. The relatively low resolution of the images points to room for further advances in resolution and rendering. Also, while the book shows a panoply of things you can do in Machinima, undoubtedly more powerful editing capabilities will emerge later. Which may be all to the good for you. Plenty of room for you to help bring about these advances.

I gave this tarot set as a gift to a friend, and she and I have both been enjoying giving each other readings with it. The colors are very rich and it is a beautiful set overall. Even though some other reviews didn't recommend it for a first tarot deck, my friend seems to like it, and it is her first. I like seeing images from the city of Prague. Would probably mean even more to someone who has actually been there.

4 out of 5 stars A Tarot Dedicated to the Magic City.......2007-01-09

"We designed the Tarot of Prague to be a vibrant expression of the city. The images are collaged from thousands of original photographs of the streets and houses, the murals and statues, manuscripts and drawings, and even from the games that make up Prague's rich visual treasury." - From the Booklet

In some ways, I'm working my way backwards when it comes to the richly produced art of baba studio. To my knowledge, I own every deck and book created by Karen Mahony and Alex Ukolov, having reviewed most of them. However, it wasn't until now that I began to work with The Tarot of Prague, baba studio's signature deck that is so beloved in the Tarot community. (In fact, this deck was recently used in an episode of the TV show Ghost Whisperer!)

I don't have the Tarot of Prague kit, just the small box with the L(ittle) W(hite) B(ook), so that's what I'll be reviewing. The Tarot of Prague follows the Rider Waite Smith system, although the Majors aren't numbered, and there's an extra Majors card: Prudence. The upper left hand of the cards depict the number or letter (in the case of Aces and the Courts), with a golden Cup, Sword, Wand, or 5-pointed Star (Pentacle) in the lower right hand corner. Matte-finished cards measure approximately 5"x 3", with card backings depicting an intricate assemblage of graphite hued scrollwork, birds, candelabras, and humans representing the four elements. At first glance, the backings appear reversible, but upon closer inspection, they are not. However, if you're not looking too closely, you probably won't notice during the shuffling process.

The 32-page LWB gives a brief overview of Tarot history, as well as learning and reading the cards. Also provided is a good overview of the general meanings of the numbers and Court Cards (e.g. Pages often indicate exploration, study, enthusiasm, risk-taking beginnings, news, and messages, while the number two often deals with issues of union, balance, decisions, and dealing with emotional forces.) A few spreads are shared, including the Celtic Cross and a specially created 5-card Prague "Threshold" spread. Upright keywords are given for all the cards, but the Majors are given more attention with a brief explanation. Karen gives a great overview of each of the suits/elements, including the positive and negative sides of each expression.

Aesthetically speaking, The Tarot of Prague didn't appeal to me at first. In fact, I still have mixed feelings about the mish-mashed media used for the cards, especially some of the cartoon-like images paired with gorgeous photography. If it were a photo-only collaged deck, like the Tarot de Paris, I think I'd appreciate it more.

Because of this initial lack of resonance, I had my doubts about how The Tarot of Prague would read for me. However, I'm happy to please that I just did a 3-card Body, Emotions, Spirit spread and it was quite clear, surprising, and accurate! I had just finished walking over a mile on the treadmill, and was feeling energetic, centered, and clear-minded. I drew the 4 of Cups, 3 of Cups, and Ace of Cups for my spread, and, admittedly, the 4 of Cups in the Body position threw me. I had expected a "fiery" card to represent the fat-burning engine that had just been stoked (LOL)--a card like The Sun or the Ace of Wands. What in the world was the card of "boredom" doing in that position?! So I went to the LWB, and to my surprise, it mentioned "withdrawal from excesses" as one of the possible meanings. How uncanny! You see, I had began a (mostly) low-fat diet back in August, and have lost over 30 pounds so far. One of the things I noticed is that food preference seems to be a habit of sorts, because I no longer craved high-fat foods; in fact, they didn't even appeal to me! So my body was, indeed, on a "withdrawal" from excess fat--in a good way!

The 3 of Cups reflected the emotional "high" I had felt towards the end of my workout (hello endorphins!), as well as my desire to make it to the 2007 Readers Studio in NYC in April. In my spiritual practice, I had been (trying) to work on cultivating compassion and such, so the Ace of Cups in the Spirit position spoke several meaningful messages to me.

So while I didn't immediately connect with the images of the Tarot of Prague, it is proving to be a unique, incisive, accurate deck. Incidentally, the same thing happened with baba studio's Victorian Romantic Tarot; I ABHORRED the artwork (originally) and now it is one of my favorite personal decks for my Card-a-Day readings and journaling. Honestly, there's just something special about Team Karen and Alex!

If you're enamored with The Magic City, fans of baba studio, or enjoy (seamlessly) collaged decks, you'll likely enjoy The Tarot of Prague. I don't think it's the best deck for beginners (try baba studio's Baroque Bohemian Cats' Tarot or The Victorian Romantic Tarot if you're just starting out), but it's a wonderful addition for deck collectors and Tarot readers.

4 out of 5 stars For the collector.......2006-08-19

I was pleasantly surprised with this set. The cards have an unusual storage box, which is like a small book binding that ties with cord. Mine was also signed and numbered by artist and author.
The only flaw I find with this tarot is the quality of the paper in the handbook. Its unique style and beauty still makes it a wonderful purchase, a real find for the collector.

5 out of 5 stars A Magic Deck worthy of a Magic City.......2006-01-10

I waited a long time before I bought this deck. I spent my childhood in the Czech republic, an hour's train ride from Prague, and my heart still knows this city well. I was afraid this deck would not do justice to my memories. Now, having owned and used these cards for close to a year, I wish I had ordered them sooner. This is the one deck I was always searching for, through many years and deck after deck, and all the numerous others I own now pale in comparison.

Anyone who knows Prague also knows that she is a city of many layers and a rich and unique history. These cards capture her essence perfectly. Each card is a story that can easily be taken singly, in a one-card reading, or, just as easily, woven together with the others in the greater context of a multi-card spread. The deck is based on the structure of the Rider Waite but is deffinitely not just a simple clone. The images, while generally following in Waite's footsteps, are rich in their own symbolism and allow for new insights. I myself have used this deck exclusively since I got it and it has never failed me. On the contrary, the more I use it, the more depth I see in it.

I love the paper the cards are printed on: comfortable and easy in the hand, the cards aren't as glossy as the more commercially spawned decks but have a subtle and unique sheen to them. I also love the images themselves: layer upon layer, seamlessly brought together, minors just as rich as the majors. On some cards, the colours are subtle and ethereal and easy to meditate on. On others they are so vibrant that the images seem to be kinetic. These cards deffinitely have their own soul and personality. They are what Prague is: real, earthy, gilded, magical, and hard to pin down.

The accompanying book is excellent. It offers wise and thoughtful interpretations of each card, clearly demonstrating the author's familiarity with the tarot. And again, while grounded in the Waite tradition, the interpretations move beyond Waite to apply to this current age we live in. Further, the book not only gives numerous anecdotes about the city, but also enough background information about the actual place portrayed in each image to allow even those unfamiliar with Prague to feel at home. I've shown these cards to many people, none of whom know Prague as I do, yet they were all just as taken by it as I was. Truly, this deck is more than an art deck. Yes, it is pleasure to look at. But it is also a pleasure to read with and a very worthy tribute to one of the great cities of the world.

5 out of 5 stars A Stunner.......2005-11-20

Well, I thought the Dali deck was the end-all-be-all.
As a tarot pro, I have just about 100 decks, many of which are rare and discontinued, limited editions, numbered and limited editions. Of all the "collage" type decks, heck, of all the decks I've seen commercially produced so far- this one is a gem. The packaging is superior...U.S. Games came to bat with the Golden Tarot by Kat Black (a magnificent deck and U.S.Games' saving grace). However, The Prague Tarot surpasses all packaging standards. I loved it so much, I bought two signed/numbered editions, one I opened and one is still shrink wrapped. This deck follows the Rider/Waite/Smith tradition, but it's one of a kind quality is a joy. Every thing about this deck is top notch. This is a collector's dream deck; I would never read these cards...I would only break it out for company...and then back into its hiding place it goes, before someone spills their Gamay Beaujolais all over it! :)

    5 out of 5 stars Prague's artistic/musical influences!/Visionaryprophetdaniel.......2007-09-29

    I agree on most points with Janet Boyer who did not have the advantage of the entire kit at the time of reviewal. I have the entire kit to review.First! I refer to bibliography,please:Fromer's 2nd edition/Prague and the Best of the Czech Republic(ISBN 0028620925)...and...The Rough Guide to Prague(ISBN1858289009) as both these travel guides bring the researching tarot reader to read much of the attractions in central Prague in order to have familiarity with the ambience of the "Magic City" to conduct readings with the cards for querents. I do not recommend this kit for Beginners,Initiates, OR Journeyman: Professional only. (My Opinion). The 301 page full length book expands the detailed discussion of each card plus the briefed keywords. Actually I find that the meanings are a departure from the RWS to an appreciable extent. However, if someone has been to Prague,then this kit would interest them intently. Baba Studios published and printed the entire kit in Prague. For the beautiful artwork is a treasure for the kit owner and this Zoologist/Tarot professional recommends this work for everyone who will treasure it.....Blessings...

    It's rare to find a Tarot deck this imaginative and artistic which is also so reasonable to use. Mahony's decks are all elegant and beautifully rendered. Worth owning no matter how many you already own.

    5 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Deck.......2004-08-03

    Sometimes I want a good, solid, readable tarot deck, with plenty of well-thought-out symbolism and a clear structure.
    Sometimes I'm more in the mood for a deck with gorgeous, colourful artwork, a stunning sense of composition and an eye for detail, as well as a good dollop of whimsy and passion.
    There are very few decks that fall into both categories, but the Tarot of Prague is certainly one of them.
    Anyone familiar with the Rider-Waite-Smith symbolism should be able to use this deck right out of the box. For those who aren't, there is the excellent book, which is probably the best book-for-a-deck I know. It's extremely well written, serious and thorough but with a sense of humour, too. It gives extensive information about the artwork, the sources used, the history and mystery of Prague, as well as being an excellent guide to the tarot in general. It would even make a great travel guide to use while visiting Prague!
    But, for the people who don't want to get the set and opt for the deck alone, the deck also comes with a very good, concise and clear 'little white book'. It doesn't give much history or background, but it would certainly be enough to get you reading the cards.

    I love the artwork in these cards. It took the creators thousands of hours to make them, and they succeeded in achieving a perfect, consistent feel. I adore the colours, which are rich but not gaudy, as well as the way in which this deck showcases one of the most magical and enchanting cities on earth: Prague.
    The deck is extremely readable, but it is also a pleasure to just hold and look at all the cards one by one, admiring the artwork. Someone once compared a good deck of tarot cards to an art gallery, with 78 works of art. That certainly applies to this one, which makes it the perfect deck to show off to my tarot-sceptical friend (of which I have all too many). Even if they are very dismissive of the whole idea of tarot, they cannot help but be bowled over by the gorgeous art.

    Finally, the production of both the deck and the book is remarkable. The cards are of extremely good quality - firm but not too stiff, and definitely not flimsy. The coating is durable without feeling 'plasticy'. Even the box and the book are of excellent quality, with high-grade paper and great printing.
    I would have expected the price of both the deck alone and the deck-book set to be about twice as high as they actually are - this is a high-quality tarot deck for an extremely good price.

    I think beginning readers, as well as experienced readers and those who mostly buy tarot decks for collection purposes, will immensely enjoy the Tarot of Prague!

    ps: reviewer streetspirit85 pointed out a little difficulty with the original box; personally, I loved the design, but I keep the deck with the box in a bag.
    The second printing however, which is the one hitting the shops now, has a different box which keeps the cards a little safer.
