Competitions - Make Something Unreal

This media page on the nZone Make Something Unreal contest page offers downloads of the Unreal Technology Demo from last year's GDC as an example of a real-time non-interactive film, which they describe as "the convergence of game development, animation and filmmaking." Word from Epic is: "The purpose of releasing the video now is to provide a little inspiration for the real-time non-interactive movie (i.e. Machinima) category of the $1,000,000 NVIDIA Make Something Unreal Contest - see http://www.makesomethingunreal.com for more information. Entries for Phase II of the contest, the first phase to include this category, are due on October 20th. The actual UT2003 game contains also contains it's own example of real-time non-interactive movie making. In the UT2003 main menu choose Single Player and then create a new profile to view the game's opening movie. Some trivia about the video: There's a scene where a rocket hits the ceiling of the cave and the resulting falling debris causes a bridge to collapse in the middle. That particular sequence was done using Karma Physics such that, when we ran this sequence in real-time during GDC, the falling debris and resulting collapse and swinging of the bridge were slightly different every time we ran it." They also point the way to 3DBuzz.com for assistance in making with the modifications, and the free tour around the U.S. the site's maintainer is making to help get folks started with all this.
