One out of four nominees in a given genre is chosen for the Saxxy Award, and then one overall winner is chosen among the nominees of all five genres. The awards are divided among five different genres: action, comedy, drama, shorts, and extended films. Valve has even encouraged players to take advantage of the software by holding an annual Source Filmmaker film festival called the Saxxy Awards.
Having learned and mastered Source Filmmaker's tools, many users have created plenty of masterful films through them. Source Filmmaker also includes features exclusive to 3D animation software such as fully-animating character models and props. Plenty of aspects of production and post-production are present such as framing and reframing shots, positioning actors in front of the camera, configuring lighting, inserting and cutting shots, and adding special effects and music. The user can then choose a character to control and move around the map and in front of the camera. When making a film in Source Filmmaker, the user loads a world map straight out of one of Valve's games to use as their setting then places character models into the map to serve as their actors.
Source Filmmaker blends the experience of playing a video game with making a 3D animated film. After the software was released for free use, players got a taste of the unique features that it uses to make Internet videos.
