Where can I find articles online that deal with the "culture poaching" or "culture jamming" associated with machinima? Also, if you can, please refer me to some recently popular clips. Thanks.

I want to include some fabricated video game footage into a commercial video piece. I don't have the time or the resources to have professional 3D animation done, so I've decided to use a machinima approach towards animation. My main concern, though, is copyright issues -- what's the best game engine to use for producing footage that's truly royalty-free? [more inside]

A ways back, and I think this was about 5 years ago, there was a short video clip made using Counter-Strike (the Halflife mod) that played to the soundtrack of Parabol/Parabola by Tool. It was one counter-terrorist and one terrorist and basically just involved one guy walking over, then diving in slow-mo and firing the Desert Eagle (deagle). Couldn't find it with Google...does anyone have it or know where I can find it?
