You know how PlayStation home has guys chasing girl avatars that are really guys? Or how you always walk past a crowd making racist slurs toward other people online? It's great fun! Okay, so not really. But a new space called StageSet looks like it could be a lot of fun for creative types.
Machinima comes to Home with this new Home space that lets you create your own virtual film inside your PS3. Joystiq says that set lighting, operate cameras, and even mess with green screen effects in this expansion. The word is that StageSet will be included in this week's Home update, so you won't have to wait long to make your silly movies.
Alphazone4 has plenty of videos of this expansion in action for you to check out. This one on ghost grips looks pretty cool. After the jump you'll find a clip about cinematography in StageSet.
What do you think? Does this look ineresting to you?

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
I'll got there, but it feels like home is just a big collection of neat ideas....
I think I'd like to give this thing a spin after it drops though. I hope they add new animations for it though, otherwise I would think it'd be WAYYY too limited in what you could do. Also, with the text chat thing...they just gonna make those speech bubbles pop up in your video? Meh, gotta wait and see, I guess.
Methinks I'll write and make a Dtoid-related vid!!
Peter Molyneux should sue. (hey that rhymes)
