There are some great examples of creative use of cover versions of popular music combined with machinima created in Minecraft appearing on youtube. This one is really good IMHO 🙂
If you don’t get what Minecraft is and can do then watch this, and then some of the linked videos too. It is a new generation of filmaker/gamers exploring the creative world online in a metaverse.
I just ask the students in my dept. to ban me from their minecraft server. I spent 12 hours recreating the genesis cave from Wrath of Khan and that wasn’t the only 12-hour stint in that week. Time to go cold turkey…
Creativity just trying to get out 🙂 Did they actually ban you or did they leave the door open to tempt you?
