Machinima, a portmanteau of machine cinema, is by short definition a collection of techniques whereby computer generated imagery (CGI) is rendered using interactive 3D engines rather than professional 3D programming software. The Super Smash Bros. series is one of many of such engines which are commonly used to make machinima. It however is not the most prominent of which. The most commonly used form of character control in Smash Bros. machinimas is digital puppetry, which involves the machinimator to become the virtual actors. This is done by using game movements and attacks to make scenes progress. Machinima.com commonly pays machinimators for their work and in exchange posts the machinima videoes on their youtube.
