The player is at once the screenwriter and director of a film. As screenwriter, he writes the story. As director, he has the principal role in choosing the cast, controlling the production design and managing the creative aspects of filmmaking.

Simple Movie is a Non Player Character animation (NPC-mation) tool where:

NPC-mation is an animated filmmaking technique in which NPC are manipulated by a movie program in small increments between individual screenshots (frames) so they exhibit independent motion when the frames series is played back as a sequence. NPCs with movable joints are used for their ease of repositioning.

The movie program contains scenes, with each scene having one or more lines.

A line has an actor or an item, animation (actors only), a start and end locations (can be the same), camera, speed (or duration) and subtitles.

NOTE: The output video depends on the installed video codec. The game does not include any video codec (except uncompressed video).
