Hey Guys! Im posting here to ask if anyone wants to be in my first machinima, which is currently unnamed. If you want to be in it you will need these things:
1. Halo 1 for PC
2. Halo Custom Edition
3. The Map Called Death Island Movie Edition, downloadable at http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=3047, and the map called Pillar of Autumn Space Map, at http://halo2.filefront.com/file/Pillar_of_Autumn_Space_Map;43 133
4. The ability to listen and be mature
5. Xfire and a headset
6. A good ping
7. Alldev and some basic console commands knowledge, (like cheat_bump_possession, cheat_deathless_player, cheat_ all_vehicles, etc.) Without alldev, especially the cheat to control other players, this machinima wouldnt be possible.

So if you want to join, message me and tell me your Xfire and Halo CE name. Thanks!!!

EDIT: Xfire can be downloaded at [url]www.xfire.com[/url]
You will also need to voice act over xfire.

How is a headset a waste of money? I think it is essential for playing FPS games, you hear so many more subtle sounds then if you don't. And if you use Teamspeak you don't braodcast all the cussing and yelling that goes on in there.

Anyways, I just don't want a headset, I won't really be using it that much.. And plus i forgot to mention, depends where you are, if your up north, i might get a bad ping... And it's amazing how slow these forums are, took one or two hours to get a single reply =\.

Hello! Star Wars FTW. Also, join the MAW group. Please?

I think that by headset they meant mic. And I don't need a headset to hear subtle sounds when I've got 5.1 hooked up to my computer :)

  • 12.04.2007 12:26 PM PDT

Ugh, I wish I had 5.1 or 7.1 wireless speakers..

Yeah, I did mean a mic, not a headset. But I agree that when I connect my computer to my tv and the 7.1 surround sound, I hear all the subtle sounds (albeit not very subtle).

So are you in or not?

If you have a script and a good plot (I doubt based on the map and the name) then we'll help you. But in order to convince me and a few other big leaguers you'll need some proof that you can pull this off.

It's not that I want to make something wonderful, its just that I want to make a really crappy machinima and teach myself some skills of movie making, etc (and have a movie made by myself). IF I wanted to make a serious movie, then I would have a script, rather than just playing it by ear, and I would have all of the cool stuff that I don't have that would make it better. It's not supposed to be a Red vs. Blue kind of hit. Search YouTube for 'halo machinima', the first 5 videos are crap... I've tried making servers called "Making a Movie All Welcome", and I get people like T3rm1n@tor claiming that they're drunk (which probably was true), talking in all caps, telling people to switch to blue or else he will ban them, and when I told him to stop or ill kick him, he told me he'd just crash my server... Idiot... So I resorted to the forums. Again, I'm not trying to impress anyone, or get any big machinima people's attention, only make a machinima. OK? I'm not trying to get any ''big leaguers'', just make a movie.

To better suit the needs of my movie, I changed the map to Death Island Movie Edition for all of the scenes, and Pillar of Autmn Space Map for the prologue. This should be a bit better for my story, even though it doesn't make sense with the real story very well. I'm eliminating the name of my machinima, which will later be decided. Additionally, I've also taken the time to also write a script:


Unnamed Script
Introduction
When the Covenant captured Captain Keyes, he was on an island in one of Halo’s oceans. Before the Pillar of Autumn crashed, Keyes and a large portion of the Truth and Reconciliation crew had actually escaped on a few pelicans and Dracos. The island that the crew landed on actually had a large portion of the Arbiter’s (before the Arbiter actually became an Arbiter) fleet, called The Fleet of Particular Justice. As for what happens afterward… well you’ll just need to read the script for that.
Script

Prologue: The Pillar of Autumn
{Pelicans and Dracos flying away from ship}

Scene 1: Heated Argument
Keyes: We need to act now!
UNSC Guy #1: NO!!! Do you know what casualties we could have from trying to destroy those… things?!?! They would slaughter us!
Keyes: What would happen if we didn’t do anything? They would break through our pathetic defenses and invade the land we hold! We could risk losing everything, but possibly win, or just act like sitting ducks and not do anything! Which is better?
UNSC Guy #1: I guess… but wha-
Keyes: Shut it, marine! Back to your post!
UNSC Guy #1: Yes sir.

Scene 2: Troop Deployment
{see troops driving around in warthogs and scorpions}
Loudspeaker: All combat personnel, report to your air- deployment posts!
{Camera cuts to Draco cockpit}
Keyes: Systems check.
Flight Crew #1: All systems green.
Flight Crew #2: Boosters ready to operate at 97% efficiency.
Keyes: {ship goes vertically up}
{camera looks at front corner of Draco and pans up as the ship rises}

Scene 3: What’s that?!?!
{Camera shows 2 Elites looking at each other}
Elite: In the sky!
{Camera pans around horizontally, showing the Draco, killing Grunts on the ground}
Keyes: Landing zone cleared!
{camera cuts to marines getting off the Draco}

Scene 4: Captured
{Camera showing marines fighting the Covenant}
Keyes: AARGH!
{Camera cuts to Keyes being surrounded by Elites}
Elite: {steps forward towards Keyes} Are you going to do this the easy way or the hard way?
Keyes: Let me go!
Elite: Are you sure about that? {Shoots Keyes with 2 or 3 plasma rounds}
Keyes: Fine…
Marine: Captain! What should I do?!?!
Keyes: Leave! Get Help!
Marine: Are you su-
Keyes: Yes, god damn it!

END

So now, I think that this is a fairly good script. Agree?

Do not bump. Most people are in school six or seven hours a day.

I have an issue with the script. After the elite says "easy or hard way" and Keyes is silent, the elite should shoot and kill a marine, and keyes should surrender under the condidiions that no more marines are hut. You version just doesn't make sense, becuase noone takes 3 shots to the chest and lives, let alone stays standing and talks.

I guess you're right... I live in ohio and we had a snow day today :). Plus, the forums and I are 3 hours off from each other, me being in EST and the forums being on PST. So I'm sorry for bumping, just not thinking.

Maybe I could work in a marine who is captured by the Covenant, but then an elite says like "Kill the soldier, take the captain." and is meleed by an Elite in the back, or maybe shot in the head. Then Keyes says his no marines are hurt line. And when I meant by 2 or 3 shots were plasma rifle shots to the foot or leg. I'll try it out and see. So does this mean you're in on the project?

It's actually not bad for your first short. I wouldn't go all the way to say it's a great script, but it's certainly not as bad as many of the other attempts I've seen noobies go up to bat with.

*Note for those of you who remember my Sierra series. It's been filmed in Halo 3 and should be released before christmas*

Just thought that was worth bringing up while I as here.

Thanks! If this goes well, I'm actually thinking, I might do a short machinima of the level "Halo", following Master Chief. As for the now, I'm also going to splice some of Halo's cutscenes in, probably these, respectively, in order:
The first 1:52 of this: http://www2.mythica.org/halo/hbo/halocinema/halo/01_poa_intro .wmv, and this: http://halocinema.bungie.org/halo/02_poa_bridge.wmv

So do you want to be in this?
