1. A system, comprising:
a media generating computer system having a processor;
a store coupled to the media generating computer system that contains a script in a markup language for one or more recorded shots and one or more recorded splitscenes, the script having a scene with a plurality of shots, wherein each shot has a plurality of splitscenes, and wherein each splitscene is a portion of a shot derived from the script;
a computing device that connects to the media generating computer system using a streaming protocol and receives a rendered sceneplay from the media generating computer system using the streaming protocol; and
wherein the processor of the media generating computer system executes a plurality of instructions and is configured to:
automatically direct, based on the script stored in the store, a plurality of actors to each perform one or more actions of a character in the script in one of the plurality of splitscenes specified in the script including to perform the one or more actions of the character and direct a camera using a set of camera directions including a camera angle and a camera lens height for the recorded splitscene, and to generate a recorded splitscene content for each actor and two or more recorded splitscenes, wherein the processor of the media generating computer system is further configured to display, on a display of the computing device based on the script, scrolling dialog, stage and blocking directions to each actor to perform the one or more character actions during the recorded splitscene, each recorded splitscene of the content having a timing for the respective shot of the recorded splitscene; and
automatically edit and combine, without user interaction and based on the script and the timing for each shot in two or more recorded splitscenes, the two or more recorded splitscenes into the rendered sceneplay.
