Product:  Meant to be about a child that gets kidnapped, but it's a bit too long.  Other possibilities are recreating Monty Python sketches.  SUGGESTION:  make your own story, make a quick short story.   

Theme:  Machinima is rising as an art form, much like cartoons, or comic books.  Machinima is opening up further ground for people to be able to create a visual story/plotline.  NEED TO expand and compare Machinima vs. other filmmaking styles.   Use of Machinima in history / recreation of battles.

Anticipate your audience:  What is your audience going to say/feel/think when you first tell them about machinima?  You need to win your audience, and get them to beleive that machinima is worthwhile, interesting, creative, intellectual, artistic, and NOT just another video game / geek hobby.
