64Digits Machinima

Posted by F1u on Dec. 1, 2007, 2:20 p.m.

Machinima is a basically a movie made using a videogame. A notable one is Red vs. Blue. I've been thinking a lot lately about how it would now be easier to do using halo 3's forge and theater. I was also thinking that i've seen a lot of people with halo 3 on 64digits, and I'm really interested in maybe starting maybe a little series. Like start out small, with maybe a welcome vid fer the homepage, and then maybe, if people like it, making a habit of making vids, like once a month or so. I was wondering who of you - 1. have halo 3. and 2. would be interested in doing this. I would also need someone with a capture card really, or i could get one with christmas money, but that's not important right now really, I'm just trying to figure out who some of our "actors" could be.

*Edit* I need to make this a bit longer so i can keep it frontpaged. So far, it looks like its me and killpill, and im going to try and think of a plot for the pilot episode. I don't want to make it too similar to Red vs. Blue or everyone will be like "OMg ITS LeiK R veRrsus BLOo."

I need help coming up with a plot. Anyone interested in writing the story for it with me on windows messenger, or wants to be an actor, let me know in a pm, and then ill give you my messenger sn thing. And we can work something out. Like seriously tho guys, how cool would this be if we got a monthly series going. I think im going to use geevee.com for capturing the video too. I just need to get a capture card for christmas probably. And I might also need someone to edit the video(s), or else i'll need to, which might even work out because i'm getting a laptop for christmas. Well anyways, if you want to be a part of this series in any way, either comment, or hit me up with a pm. :]

*Edit2* So far it's for sure me, my friend that doesnt have a 64digits account, and nintenj0e, my friend who is new to 64. We still need a lot of people. Oh and killpill i think too.

I'm not sure why i fail if i can post a link to it… and it could be on youtube..

I think Microsoft posted some machinima guidelines:

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/developer/rules.htm

This shows that machinima isn't illegal, it's the Halo 3 ending video that was. They didn't want that shit out. Machinima should be fine to host on 64d servers, just follow the rules.

Thanks gamehawk. See i haven't failed …yet. Is anyone interested in doing this with me. I was hoping this could be a staff sponsored kindof thing, and would be in the news on the hopepage. I would also really like it if some of the admins were "actors." Anyone interested in starting this with me, I know it won't be easy.

1. I wasn't asking you if you think i fail, if i think we dont have enough people to do it, then i will admit failure, but then and only then, and…

2. I'm not a big fan of those vids.

@FB: Yeah, I was just clarifying it.

Anyway, if you follow those guidelines I suppose you could host it on the 64D server; though I'd still prefer the youtube linking idea. If it's legal, I don't see any reason to stop you from using 64D though.

I'm fine with you doing this; overall it's just the actors who would have to be okay with having their image portrayed.

As for staff support, I'd prefer if you put this together first; maybe produce a pilot of it, so that we have something for the news post. I'd rather not make a news post about a "possibility", y'know? So if you can get something together with a few members, then PM me, and I'll see if it's decent enough to have a news posting.(doesn't have to be amazing; just not complete crap) Judging by the respose we get in that news post, we could get something going.
