Finally, a use for the Live Vision camera other than showing your junk to random Uno players. To put it basically, You’re in the Movies is like the Eye Toy games. You’ll stand in front of your TV and Vision camera to play mini-games with your body. Hula hoop, dance, swat wasps and plenty of other mini-games will be available for you to perform along with three of your friends.
You’re in the Movies goes beyond just the typical mini-game extravaganza, though. Just like the title suggests, you’re going to be in a (cheesy) movie. You can pick a genre (action, comedy, black and white, etc) and pick a script, which will determine which mini-games you play through. The mini-games you perform will then be edited together to create a little movie.
If you didn’t catch the Microsoft Press Conference, Shane Kim along with a few other Microsoft peeps played a few mini-games. The game then edited a horror movie where a “giant” gecko was terrorizing the planet and only Shane and his Microsoft employees could stop the monstrous gecko.
Players will have the ability to edit the films adding voice-overs, music and whatever else that will be available in the editing room. Players will also be able to share their movies with the world by downloading them onto their computers.
