<br />
The '''RuneScape Machinima Competition''' was a competition organised by [[Jagex]] for ''RuneScape'' players to submit videos{{CiteNews |author=Mod Paul M |url=http://services.runescape.com/m=news/newsitem.ws?id=2119 |title=RuneScape Machinima Competition |newsdate=11-Aug-2009 |date=20:47, June 25, 2011 (UTC)|name=start}}. Players were required to submit [[Wikipedia:Machinima|machinima]] videos to the YouTube channel managed by Jagex. Machinima refers to the use of real-time three-dimensional (3-D) graphics rendering engines to generate computer animation. The term also refers to works that incorporate this animation technique.<br />
<br />
The competition was launched on [[11 August]] 2009, and the closing date was [[25 August]] 2009{{NamedRef|start}}. Six finalists were picked by [[Andrew Gower]], [[Mark Gerhard]], and the members of the Jagex Community Management team. These videos were featured in ''RuneScape'''s [[polls]] for the player community to pick a favourite{{CiteNews |author=Mod Paul M |url=http://services.runescape.com/m=news/newsitem.ws?id=2160 |title=Machinima Competition – Cast Your Votes! |newsdate=04-Sep-2009 |date=20:47, June 25, 2011 (UTC)}}.<br />

{{cquote2|<br />
'''A song by bumbum007:''' We received loads of RSMVs, but none featured anyone with such a big mouth. We chose this video for the lyrics, the original songwriting, the energy and bumbum007's ability to cram a song lyric into the smallest gap.<br />
<br />
'''My RuneScape Machinima Competition entry by Mommakitty2:''' If we had televisions in RuneScape then Momma_Kitty has a pretty good idea of what we'd be watching. This video made the finals thanks to the massive range of parodies thrown into what is a very entertaining two-minute video.<br />
<br />
'''Video Ideas by Excl:''' What do you do if you've already made hundreds of RS machinima videos? You make a video about trying to come up with an idea for a video, of course! Excl's movie has great vocal talent and gives us a window into how he goes about deciding what to make next.<br />
<br />
'''Line dancing by Jinsr44:''' We're no fans of line-dancing - or Michael Flatley - but Jinsr may have turned that around with this brilliantly choreographed linedance-a-thon around RuneScape, complete with flashing skillcapes. Double win!<br />
<br />
'''Mithril sword fight by Arrow Gun 99:''' Never has a fight over a free mithril sword resulted in such venom! Levitating furniture and crates being thrown through portals all feature in Arrow gun 99's exuberant fight sequence that's left us looking forward to the inevitable sequel.<br />
<br />
'''Gnarlie and the Gaming Factory by KKcomics:''' We can't comment on the accuracy of KKcomics representation of the judging process, but the competition is sure to find that out! We chose this video as it really made us laugh and had great timing. The fact that Mark is depicted sitting on a throne with a trapdoor lever and a green party hat had nothing to do with it.<br />
