United Ranger Films

United Ranger Films

United Ranger Films was a machinima production group responsible for the first examples of machinima. They were an offshoot from the "Quake" deathmatch clan, The Rangers, and were made up of members of the clan. Their first movie, "Diary of a Camper", was a revolution at the time, because it was the first time an independent story was filmed inside a game. This was possible because "Quake" could record players' actions to a .dem file for later playback. Thus, their subsequent, more adventurous projects acquired the moniker of "Quake movies" or "QMovies", and others followed suit in making their own.

After "Diary of a Camper", United Ranger Films continued with "Ranger Gone Bad" and "Torn Apart". The former was a prelude to their most successful production, "", which brought United Ranger Films a big profile in the "Quake" community, then still in its infancy. Later came "Torn Apart 2", the first "Quake" movie to employ recorded speech for dialogue, rather than in-game text messages previously used to represent subtitles.

Their final two projects never reached completion: "Torn Apart 3" and "". Although members of the Rangers clan were involved in the very first movies being made about the Rangers, by this point they were all involved in United Ranger Films instead, and the two groups continued separately. The first fifteen minutes of "RGB3" eventually surfaced, but neither the finished film nor any part of "Torn Apart 3" have ever appeared. Nevertheless, United Ranger Films are still noted for the part they played in promoting this form of filmmaking.
