 Halo 3 will ship with the ability to record game play and save it as  "films" for later review. These films will allow viewers to fully  control camera angles on playback, from other players perspectives  or from a completely free camera. Films were included in part to  help dedicated players improve their play (much as studying field  films helps in college or professional football) and in part to help  those creating "machinima" (animated films shot by using video games  as puppetry) such as the popular "Red vs. Blue" series.
