Machinima is a technique where a recording is made using the game's built-in recording tools, characters and maps to produce a video which has a film like experience rather than a standard frag movie.

The Meet the Team videos produced by Valve are good but non-typical examples of machinima. They are animated using the game engine but have specially written animation sequences and super high quality settings which cannot be accessed in-game, along with the original voice actors.
