As with the original GameGuru Classic version, CineGuru MAX continues our collaboration between coding genius AmenMoses and award-winning filmmaker Avenging Eagle, who together form Tanner Productions

"With Cine|Guru we set out to create a pack, crammed with features, that is simple enough for anyone to use, from seasoned film makers looking to direct engaging machinima cinematics, to beginners simply wanting to place a security camera in their level. Behind the frankly mind-boggling maths was a desire to create a set of tools to enable anyone, of any skill level, to create and do as much of that creation right in the editor as possible."
