A Halo 2 Project
Soon I will have my audio setups concrete and the first phase of voice recording is going to begin. The first phase being finding some serious talent to play the roles.
I've been working on a director's script (intricate detailing, very very annoying to read over for continuation) and so far it's going pretty slow. Having to map out all of the angles and camera actions and environment detailing just in my head without even practicing it within the game is very aggravating not to mention risky to the project. Hopefully when I get my next two XBOX's in the next few months I can begin drafting storyboards and making sure everything I'm envisioning is actually possible.
Until then, I just have to wait for the gear and talent to arrive.
EDIT 1: By the way, I know that I earlier wrote that I would be putting out a trailer before an episode is complete, but that is no longer the case. At the moment, I am now planning on working on the project and completing it before I even work on a trailer. This is to make sure that the trailer does what it is supposed to. Trail. Tease. Guage the interest toward the story. Most trailers of machinimas that I see now are either character introductions (which I will not do), which are fine but not my piece of cake, or else put together footage which initially does not make it into the feature or is just clipped together scenes which don't really flow. I can avoid that by having my product complete and able to pull any parts of it together that I feel would most benefit the audience when they watch my trailer.

Okay Axel, I want in, but i have my doubts.. how on earth are we gonna do this ur way if you dont have XBL? that and we dont nessicarily need a cam-hack, we can just use the regular screens to make it look like your seeing through the charecters eyes (just a thought, cuz for a cam-hack you need a modded xbox, [which i dont have] and modded xboxes arent allowd on XBL, which makes a major road block.
So just as an example, heres probably a rough outline of what we might need:
Players:
around 20 players for actors, with XBL
(You'd want around 20 to fill in if someones missing)
Storyline:
We want this to be original, maybe not even a comedy,
maybe like a simulation of battle with a real backround
pertaining to Halo/Halo 2
Extras:
Music, stunt people?, and a group of guys in charge.
Tech (behind the scenes):
A guy that can record all this
-I have all the things nessisary, like a vid capture card,
but I'd need someone to tell me how to do it, cuz im not sure
I THINK THIS CALLS FOR A BUNGIE.NET GROUP PAGE, I'll make one now
The BUNGIE.NET group page is called Working Title and the link is
