City of Heroes videos

Remember back in the day when there were creative people making city of heroes videos such as this:

 

I believe Machinima as used to make these videos.  Are there any way these could be made today?

I think they probably could be made today. I think most of the character action/synchronization was done using demo editing. I have tinkered quite a bit with demo editing on Homecoming and while I've never attempted anything as ambitious as the scenes in videos like those, I've done some cool stuff and I think the capacity to make similar scenes still exists. From there it's just a matter of some video editing skills to edit the scenes together and add a soundtrack or dub in some vocals.

Cool.  Have any guides for this?

For the demo editing work I did, I used the resources at the wiki link I provided above, plus a healthy dose of trial and error. I didn't and don't make videos so I can't be of much help there. I am not aware of any guides on the forums, but that doesn't mean one doesn't exist.
