Subject: Machinima Mode: Theater Mode of the Future.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

hey ClosedJohn117 did you see my idea by any chance?

Um... I like Halo? I don't really know what to say. I'm a student at the moment, I hope to become a criminal profiler, and I enjoy pretty much everything as long as it's good.

Well, just out of respect I'll do it.

Yeah. I think I added part of it in update 2 or 3. Not sure. Go check if you want.

I must have read it on the responses or something like that. I'll add it as soon as possible just to emphasize on that. The character could conceivable be "bots" with a set of predetermined animations and actions.

No problem.
I would like to note that I am officially out of ideas. You guys got anymore?

I didn't specifically say Bots but I did mention that you should be able to add timelines to what your characters do, which would give them a set of animations to do in order.

cool thanks and here is another idea if you have not allready posted it yet people do no want to spend over 100$ just to buy a Capture Card so they can record there machinima they want to record it in theater mode and be able to put it on there PC so they can edit it and not have to spend 100$

Read the first and second part. It's already there although not as complicated.

Warning: You may find that my, or someone else's opinion does not comply with yours. Side effects of disagreement may include (but are not limited to): flaming, irrational behavior, broken keyboards, and/or nervous sweats. If you experience any of these symptoms refrain from communicating with others until the symptoms have subsided.

This would be greatly excepted among Halo fans.

Just an add on to the custom animations thing, how about Natal integrations wich let you make the characters animation by body movement. Just an idea.

Hmm, I mentioned Natal a bit on the subject of of facial recognition but that is a great idea. I'll be sure to add it. This could be potentially lifesaving to the Halo series if Bungie tries to go cheap on us and not use motion capture. We could make our own albeit slightly lower quality. Hopefully Bungie won't do this but it would be nice to have a backup.

Like I said this is a good idea. However it needs to be kept simple.

We don't need to be limited to machinima, it should be a simple way to make any kind of video. This would simply be an updated Theater mode.

Montages would become extremely easy to create with just the simple ability to link clips together in a timeline, and the ability to add text.

There would simply be an extra selection in the Theater Lobby; this would read "Create New Film."

This menu would look something like this. As you can see this looks like a water downed version of Windows Movie Maker or similar software, which is exactly what I was going for.

The ability to add voice in game is extremely important and would simply be amazing. You would simply record your voice and match it with the video timeline.

Other fetures would be addressed in Forge mode (weather/lighting effects, ect.).

I don't know if this is what you had in mind, but with these simple changes it would be extremely easy to make any kind of video, and better yet they could be shared in game via the "File Sharing System."

and credit was removed... in other words i was watching videos on uncharted two's machinima mode and there was one thing i noticed that was a very good idea. they put in this type of tool where you hit a simple button and it changes to a calm walk, hit it again and your running, and then once more you have a stealthy stance where your sort of crouched down and moving quickly idk just a good thing to look at.

Were you the guy who had the idea first? Sorry I removed it. It was just kinda cluttering the post. If you want you can post a link to it. The ideas you gave seems nice in theory however it is a little I don't know, unnecessary.

Made a two sentence intro in order for the thread to seem more appealing to people.

My friend, that is the greatest -blam!-mothering thing I've ever seen related to this post.
