Machinima

I discuss the origin of the word “machinima” and I did this awesome collaboration with the guys over at Machinima.com and their YouTube channel! Be sure to subscribe to them, they are doing great stuff!

See if you can think of any other portmanteau words and write them below.
Now I’m going to go and jump in my pool and then drive around in my new sports car :-)

    :mrgreen: Whats The origin of the word “Ninja”???

  • Warren

    Thank you, Marina.
    Another very creative and funny lesson.

  • Bob

    After that display, the only portmanteau word I can think of is boobelicious. :twisted:

  • Warren

    She’s also an Olympic diver.

  • Bob

    No way!
    She’d never be able to submerge.
    If she did though, a portmanteau word to describe her would be a “submergarina”. :roll:

  • Bob

    I suppose that, as my wife still works and I’m retired and stay at home to do the housework, that makes me a spousekeeper; and one that speaks Franglais and Danwegian to boot.

  • Warren

    Oh, I have one…

    “Cybernetic”

    Gotta work.
    Good Day

  • Warren

    good one

  • Bob

    A portmanteau of Olympic Diver would be an Oliver. :roll:
    Portmanteau is itself a portmanteau word.

    I didn’t think it possible to select a “least favorite” HfW video, but now I’ve done so. Please don’t cheat us this way again. I highly prefer all your other videos in which your unadulterated pulchritude shows through. IMHO.

    Examples of Portmaneau words:

    Gerrymander (Gerry and salamander)
    Billary (for Bill and Hillary)
    Bennifer (for Ben and Jennifer) (and now every celebrity has this crap – J.Lo., LiLo, ScarJo, etc.)
    Wikipedia (wiki and encyclopedia)
    slithy (lithe and slimy from CS Lewis’ Jabberwocky)
    smog (smoke and fog)
    Reaganomics (Reagan and Economics)
    Infomercial (information and commercial)

  • melikadothechacha

    Kewl! totally animatronic!
    you look like the person to ask.
    Autopilot, autogyro, automobile
    i understand the first two are
    likely to be Portmaneau words,
    based upon “automatic”. OK
    Automobile is the one I wonder
    about…..What do you think?

    Hi Marina,

    I’m wondering if my bicycle art website name fits the rules for portmanteau.
    It encompasses biking and grooving… thus the name “bikengruvin”… a new word… hmmm?

    Enjoyed the video very much.
    Keep on “groovin”

  • sniperskaya

    Marina, you’re a doll!
    For my assignment I offer the word “screamo”, a new age type of music from the words “scream” and “emotion”.

  • http://www.bikengruvin.com harveycasual

    Ooops! mistaken link above… Don’t click it! :arrow: :shock: :!: :?:

    Hey Marina… let me build you a nice bike table… say for placing all ofyour… web oscars, emmys, jewelry, phones, diamonds, gold bullion, loose change, snack bars, pokerchips, penthouse key, or whatever!
    :mrgreen:
    Cheers!

    Machinima Marina is a nimble minx – yeow! :mrgreen:
    jumping jacks on the sofa – Woo Hoo! :twisted:
    the volumetric adjustments were a tad
    interesting. is lip-synch portmaneau? :roll:
    Did Marina say “I’m hot”? :shock:

  • melikadothechacha

    Really? I thought it was terrible!
    the eyes weren’t even close…
    the hair style was flat, not phat…
    and the clothes? no finesse…
    I just accept that her likeness
    in this episode is a result of
    the limited character array
    Sims 2 offers. Tony Hawk
    might be a better FMV
    platform. We could give
    Machinama Marina a
    lower lumbar tribal tatoo
    (tramp stamp) and get
    her to do the 900!

    somehow it moved to main comments, oh well

    There’s a saying that I’ve heard for YEARS and I’ve always wanted to know what exactly did it mean, and where it came from

    Thank you SOOOO much for considering this, and I’ve commented on the vid ^_^

    Not a bad representation of Marina, but I think I prefer the real thing. No teacher’s pet this time?

  • truespeak

    Hi, Hot For Words! I have a word request that I hope you can help me out with. The word is ‘cavalcade’. Is this word tied at all to the words ‘cavalry’ and ‘arcade’ (or rather the -ade ending)? Thanks!

  • pagedoll

    I’m not lovin’ it. 5 stars just ’cause but this might as well have been the lesson today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BovQyphS8kA

  • http://emmy-de-zelaware.com lividemerald

    I have to admit, I much prefer the real Marina. The video was okay in terms of explaining the term “machinima” . . . but the lip sync, intermittently flashing teeth, and disconnect between what was being said and the body language that accompanied it keep this visual art form from being of much interest to me. On the other hand, I really like the more refined CGI-humans that more or less began with “Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within,” continued with “Polar Express” and the more recent “Beowulf” (wouldn’t it have been wonderful if the Angelina Jolie role had gone to Marina instead?!?), and, theoretically, will return in James Cameron’s upcoming films.

  • roadrunrnch

    YES………. ABSOLUTELY

  • http://www.youtube.com/theangryfatman jwsluder

    I was wondering if you could explain the origins and differences of the words further & farther. It seems at times that they can be used interchangeably, but I know that they have different meanings. Please help me to understand them better.

  • StylinAzn

    Hello Marina

    What is the origin of the word “Fetish” as in foot fetish and breast fetish?
    I have a fetish for you.. :lol:

  • augie

    i much perfer u in person but this was done well thanxs babylious

  • xmorpheus3000

    Lol, this was one of the coolest videos you’ve done thus far :).

  • juhsepi

    I challenge you to find the origin of the word Corset. Gosh, I can’t imagine what you’ll be wearing if this makes the cut. . .

  • ArgonTheAware

    I loved the video, you did a fabulous job! I did a video response to it on YouTube also to request the word Avatar since it goes along with it because most machimina use them.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yu-I_IirPc

    For the homework of portmanteau words Brunch is fairly common as between Breakfast and Lunch. I’m not sure this qualifies but Brangelina might someday be one.

    Keep up the fantastic work and I can’t wait for your next video!

  • http://www.hotforwords.com Marina

    Saw your response ArgonTheAware.. I already downloaded it and I will look into doing a video. Thanks so much!

    Marina

  • buzzword

    marina, you should have been in the new weezer, pork and beans video.

  • pairadots

    I’ve always liked the words fantabulous and ginormous. There’s also rockumentary and sitcom.

  • BillyB

    Hey pagedoll, Marina may enjoy doing duets & some may be unlikely, but if she doesn’t try how will she know what works. Sometimes she will do something especially for you. Some duets are wrong & may give you the creeps

    welcome to sims flower duet , new for me

    See if practice paid off :???:

  • BillyB

    better version Love like the live stuff better.

  • Bob

    I don’t think so, Harv.
    I believe a portmanteau word has to be composed of two words with a common sound or , at least, a common letter as a place where they morph together.
    Bike – gruvin’? Doesn’t work for me. :sad:

  • greenbush

    Dear Miss HFW: I agree with pagedoll and roadrunrch, poodle dogs and animation just aren’t my favorite videos. Let’s see portmanteau: I’ve never tried to mix clams with tomato, but clamato is on the store shelves. Miss/Mrs Shakira gets really hip shaken hot when someone speaks Spanglish to her. And not to many years ago Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez made a dud of a movie, together they were Benifer. Claymation also comes to mind. May I be the first to suggest that Senator Obama’s campaign of change and hope, be termed ……CHOPE We can do it! I better go back to my day job.

  • ArgonTheAware

    It’s my extreme pleasure, if I can be of any further help to contribute anything I’d be more than willing. I can do stuff that’s a lot more involved than just machinima.

    as for smooshed together words, i like imperogative,, which my now 10-yr-old son coined last year for questions that are delivered with strong emotion (imperative interrogatives) yes, i’m sure he’s not the only one to “coin” the word. but, dabnabit, he’s my son… :wink:

  • tomotomo

    I’m a Japanese student. I will answer the question instead of Marina.
    Ninja is a Japanese word “忍者”.
    “忍(nin)” means secretly, conceal myself, creepy.
    “者(ja)” means person.
    Ninja’s job was to spy and assasinate enemies in kamakura and edo period(about 1300-1800).
    Another mystery was solved by your trusty hot for words.

    Homework
    You can make an origami shuriken (a throwing knife which ninja use)

    :lol:

  • prospero811

    I’m not sure what you mean.

  • melikadothechacha

My daughter is getting married 14th June (outdoors planned) so I guess you could say the sims version is like my wedding, if you consider who pays.(Sims’s virtualy cheeper)
    My future son on law did some claymation work & something is posted on Youtube (I can’t remember the name), but my daughter won’t leave him the time to do that anymore.

    Thats fantastic Marina, as you might already know I spend a lot of time in SL (Second Life). My future plan was to move my captains classes into SL. Im networked with some of the biggest In-world developers that are helping me with such a move.

    ArgonTheAware is correct. You will find SL being the perfect platform to work in a VR world. There is a steep learning curve but if you watch the training videos from Torley Linden you should do fine.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/stokesjrj1 stokesjrj1

    Hmm all my gravitars have disappeared after an automatic update of my avast antivirus. all except prospero811,annuddermale, nighteye,greenbush,Bob,and harveycasual . You guys must be embedded on the wordpress servers to be able for me to still view your avatars. WordPress might want to investigate a better security package than the one they are currently using.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/stokesjrj1 stokesjrj1

    Oh Yea aLx also.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/stokesjrj1 stokesjrj1

    Yea there starting to come back now

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/stokesjrj1 stokesjrj1

    Chemikal, Those are very good . :lol:

  • http://captainjack.ws captainjack

    Oh btw. My new avatar today is from SL. Yea I dress up as a captain in-world also. Whats wrong with playing what your really are in real life? Apparently Im not the only one. I met a few captain’s in SL that are doing the same thing. Yes I do have other outfits in SL. I have so much that I have forgotten what I have. Some of my SL friends say thats nothing compared to what they have. Thats just fine I have my 300 foot sailboat to play on.

    @Marina, It would be great if you do a vid on the word Avatar. With SL Lindens taking avatars to the extreme level in VR worlds this would make a good video. In SL we tend to shorten the word Avatar to Av. Like vid for Video, etc. We should meet up in world so we can get you some good skins, shapes, classroom, mansion, etc. Need to get ArgonTheAware to do a machinima of you until you get the hang of things.

    Oh Marina, one more thing. You can play YouTube videos in SL. Check out my friend Torley Linden’s video on how to do this.

Super Smart hot babes are very rare. Hell if Marina was just a head in a jar like in the TV show Futurama. I would still be hear watching the vids. :grin:

    What you don’t like to change it up a bit? Its not like she is going to disappear into the VR world and not do anymore videos of herself.

    Your going to see much more Machinima in movies because of the cost factor and ability to do things on a computer that are imposable to do in RL. One reason why things like Japanese anime is still very popular. :mrgreen:

    that is the site that hosts my gravatar, correct…i simply uploaded the image file and that site created the gravatar…

    to recognize the gravatar, a site has to have a correctly executed gravatar plug-in…

    so perhaps there was a problem with the plug-in on the HotForWords site temporarily after the servers went down, or perhaps the servers hosting the gravatars for the members whose images remained “up” were simply closer to the HFW server and therefore the links came back up faster than for those whose servers were further away…

    or maybe it was just luck…

  • annuddermale

    ouch…and here i thought i was so-o-o smart…

    oh, wait…

    no, i didn’t…

    don’t know what your purpose in attacking me is, stokesjrj1…

    but then, ad hominems seldom have points…

  • alexatg

    Hi Marina,

    pagedoll… if you are logged in.. you should NEVER see the ad again. Do you have your computer deleting your cookies every time you shut down or quit your browser? You shouldn’t. I’ve seen that ad ONCE since they added it.

  • http://www.hotforwords.com Marina

    stokesjrj1, you seem to have repeated yourself on this comment.. which version do you want to keep?

  • annuddermale

    ffs, i do earn a living, sir…

    but i see by the various conversation you are having here that you really are just a troll…to quote wikipedia,

    someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion

    i hope you have a better day…and that you learn proper grammar…the words are “you’re” & “their”…

    Hey Marina, you’ve been working a bit blue lately, keep up the good work! Working blue? Is that anything like cursing a blue streak? Please help!

    I recently heard that “shit” comes from when they used to transport manure by boat. Store High In Transit. Is this true, thank you.

  • petema1975

    What is the meaning of “marriage”?

  • prospero811

    Marriage is not a word. It is a sentence–a life sentence.

  • prospero811

    Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock.

  • pagedoll

    pretty good. pretty pretty good :lol: :lol:

    …on a saturday

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1222692962;www.youtube.com/user/phenylethylanamine phenylethylanamine

    I think it means: a chemical reaction in the brain that convinces us we are in love, or lust, and induces us, using said emotions, to trust, but then is metabolized and becomes redundant.

  • http://captainjack.ws captainjack

    We all learn here. Even our wonder teacher Marina. You see when we all share just a little bit if information to others we add to our collective knowledge. We are all teachers to some extent.
    Humor… Well if you can’t laugh and have fun in life then whats the point? Even in my classes I do silly stuff. Like for example you know when your teacher would throw an eraser at someone that gave a silly answer? Well I do the same thing but I throw rubber ducks. I throw it first then say “DUCK!”. It always get a laugh. Most of all it keeps the sometimes boring lectures I have to preach to the class. I should video tape a class or two. Even though the subject might not be of interest to some people but I think the show would be entertaining. :mrgreen:
    I love Jim Carrey stuff. Funny guy! :lol:

  • http://captainjack.ws captainjack

    I hear ya there Prospero! I have learned my lesson on marriage. Friends, family, Relatives, etc. all have shown me the meaning of marriage. Today I am still unmarried. :smile:

  • http://captainjack.ws captainjack

    Its untrue. Its just a myth. Its a great story though. :grin:

  • http://captainjack.ws captainjack

    Hey Marina, could you put a donation button on your site so we can help pay for the site. I think many of us would love to help cover some of the cost associated with running your server. What ya say? :mrgreen:

  • http://captainjack.ws captainjack

    You like the new photo?!?? That my old Second Life Avatar. I had a girl help me pick out shape and skin. I kind of wanted it to look like the real me but a bit enhanced. I never have a problem finding a date in SL. :roll:
    Song playing in my head…% Im too sexy for my car.. Im too sexy for my yacht. Im too sexy for my shirt… :roll:

  • elite_panda

    lol, i can make origami shurikens from heart a few months ago, they’re all over the place

  • greenbush

    Don”t know what to say Mr. stokesjrj1. I added extra weight to my home-made gravatar so the anchor wouldn’t slip out………Yeah, I’ve been having problems logging in to reply here, many times. So I go to my msn browser, or IE7, or firefox/mozilla. I don’t know what works best because the answer always changes. But Miss HFW said about cookies, not to delete them. Not for me. I delete my cookies, temp files, run ccleaner, Mcafee cleaner, spyware check, ect. every day. So maybe the answer is in the server for HFW, as it is somewhat overloaded ( that’s why us dear students don’t have the option to rate this video any more).

    What is your fear, Captain Jack and Prospero, of getting married?? The commitment to 1 person, male or female (depending upon your Individual orientation) or the TRUST and open honesty implicit in the successful married relationships?

  • tayljim

    I heard it said that marriage is a great institution, as for me I sure
    don’t want to live in an institution.

  • http://captainjack.ws captainjack

    I have no fear of commitment. Im a very committed person. Even when I date I only date one woman at a time.
    I learned how most people miss use marriage. Some people treat it as the end of a race and stop running.They feel the deed is done and no longer have to try. Second I don’t believe in common religions. I see them as myths.
    I see people change for the worse the day they get married. Yes there are some that notice those changes and work to make them better. But those are people of long ago. Something I don’t see today.

    :neutral:

  • BillyB

    Did anybody say anything about the sound of you’re voice in this one? Marina did you do little electronic mods on it or are you just an expert at cooing a little “…Much nicer than my world…” :lol: “I feel like going for a drive” great stuff. Loved your little intro too, made me happy. Couple of words “infotainment” your channel is #1 & when you say “goodbye” its a combo of “God+be(with)+ye”. Goodbye

  • bruno darkness

    nice video realy funny can you plz put the word hot or teacher :?: thanks :mrgreen:

  • oojufink

    As an attentive student to all your lessons, I believe that “spam” may be a portmanteau word.

  • lindridge

    hifi (high fidelity)
    smog (smoke fog)

    If we believe ‘le’ is a fragment of a lost word meaning repeatedly,
    then babble, dribble, maybe chronicle, etc.

  • mello-g37
