Quad God is a 2000 film made by Tritin Films. It was created using the machinima technique of recording video frames from id Software's 1999 first-person shooter (FPS) video game Quake III Arena. [1] Featured during the launch of the website machinima.com, [2] the work was initially controversial among machining filmmakers because it was created and distributed in a conventional video file format, whereas previous machinima films were demo files that required the original game to view. [1] However, the more accessible format broadened Quad God's viewership, [1] and, in a few years, the use of conventional video formats became nearly universal for machinima. [3]
