I have to say onething about this and its that machinima will not leave te community and if it is on the brink to happen I will call every machinima creator to arms and we will release so many videos that it will rule the movie industry in the halo community forever. www.freewebs.com/blaire_halo/forumsdiscussionboard.htm go there and schedule a tryout for my -blam!- if you want to join the fun my friends!

NOTE* this will most likly not be read by anyone official in bungie.

Does anyone else think that there should be a halo "machinima" fourm in bungie.net

Its obvious that halo machinima is popular but should we have a fourm here about it or just leave that
stuff to the machinima sites. Having a fourm here about it would be helpful.

Fourm for halo machinima in general- xbox to pc, 1 to 3

Im just a normal halo pc player who wants to be a machinima film director, but everywhere i go for help, its always for xbox machinima or is hot halo.
But having a machinima fourm could help all those normal players on halo pc or xbox learn to make machinima in a place that is pretty much for halo
( no offense to those who have played older bungie games, i wish i was one of you)

Please put in your comment's :]

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

I sympathize with you, man. At times, good machinima tips/tricks can be hard to find (unless you know where to look).

But no, I don't think there should be a public forum here on b.net. It is too much of a niche and is not generalized enough to justify its own public forum. Looking at the other forums (Halo game-specific forums, Bungie general, Community, and so on), it just wouldn't fit in.

You should try searching around the groups here on bungie.net for some of the machinima-focused groups. There are some really good ones.


Edited for typo.

-Quaere verum.

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.
Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

I also make machinima so i understand how people feel about it, but i have to agree with what Foman highlighted on; it's too specific a thing to warrant a forum dedicated to it. In many ways this is the same argument for a Fan fiction forum but both are too specific.

What if it was broadened to include all things fan-made? It could be machinima, fan-fics, pictures, whatever..

I never thought about it as being specific, I mean there is Audio/film editing, ideas for films,
voice actors, in game actors. It would be like the classifieds fourm in some ways. isn't the halo 3 beta fourm extremly specific, im sure it will be removed when halo 3 is realeased, but couldn't people just talk about it in the halo 3 fourm instead.

But yes i see what you mean and having a fan film/art/fiction/halo ideas/ect. fourm could be a nice touch to
the online bungie community in my opinion.

!!!Coming to bungie.net in 2007(most likly never), the NEW FOURM "Fans United"!!!

P.S. Sorry for putting this topic in the wrong fourm, I wasn't sure which one to put it in.

Some of the current fourms are specific and they are there so why not a machinima fourm. It could help many people, like i said earlyer.

It Could Be Used To: Find help with making machinima, hiring people for things.
It Could Be Used To: Give tips and pointers to things.
It Could Be Used To: Share ideas.
It Could Be Used To: Show people how to do machinima on the xbox and PC.
It Could Be Used To: Show each other their work.
It Could Be Used To: Show how to make Story Boards, Film Editing, and those kind of things.

See what I mean It could be a great thing for bungie to make a halo machinima fourm.
[Anything else to add to the ICBUT(It Could Be Used To) list?]

You'd be better off in the Halo PC forum. Otherwise known as The Maw.

lol.

anyways. The amount of posting that would go on after it's initial launch would likely be to minimal to keep the forum alive.

I think they should open the gallery up to members and thats where everything art-ish can go.

You might want to go back to the off-topic fourm. Otherwise know as the flood.

Having a fourm for everything fan-based is a good idea to me.
Bungie.net could proboly mesh together a couple of other fourms in there as well
Gallery, Flood, Voting, and the classifieds could be weged together like that.

But machinima is becoming amazingly popular, exspecialy(I cant spell) in halo. So having a fourm for people to use could be helpfull, or later on after the releass of halo 3, in which people might be able to make even more amazing machinima with the replay ability or might not.

It is obvious that im trying to keep this thread alive and not die in the dark corners of this fourm only to be eaten by the anti-ninjas. PIRATES.

What if there was a whole fan creation forum? Like for machinima, artwork, fanfics and the such...
