[Daniel Knauf](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel%5FKnauf?ref=killscreen.com), who created the HBO series *Carnivàle*, has created a new storytelling system called Bxx that allows viewers to watch a story unfold over the course of 48 hours. This is an unwitting nod to how machinima makers work inside game engines, leveraging the same work across a wide variety of camera angles. His first short to use the technology is called *Haunted.* “We dare you to watch camera 4 alone in the dark,” [one promo reads](http://vimeo.com/38745875?ref=killscreen.com).

I’ve been reading Dave Kushner’s *Jacked,* the unauthorized biography of Rockstar, and there’s a wonderful scene where Sam uses *Grand Theft Auto 3*‘s “cinematic mode” which shifted the view while you were driving to a variety of different places “as if some brilliant invisible William Friedkin was directing.” Nice to see that perspective working it’s way *back* into film.
