Subject: Attaching the camera to objects, a theatre mode idea.

My troll sense is tingling.

Now this should be explained a little. I don't quite mean like the way it does now for the orbiting-camera. Let me explain. In some films you would see a shot behind the wheel of a vehicle, or on the hood of it. It's near impossible to do similar stuff in Halo 3, so what I want Bungie to put in theatre mode, is the ability to do similar shots.

It could work like this, say I want to do the behind the wheel shot mentioned earlier. I move the camera behind the wheel whilst the video is paused. I then open up a type of menu and select something along the lines of "attach to warthog" and presto, I resume the clip and get the shot.

It could maybe even be done for grenades or rockets, so you don't have to move the camera with your anxious thumbs. Thoughts?

That would actually be pretty cool to include, I'm sure montage makers and machinma maker's would love it.

This would be pretty cool for machinima, and I hope they add a lot more options in theater mode for Reach.

I think Pesty is a pretty gooooooooood writer, he munches spoons and doesn't afraid of anything!

Oh hell yes.

Why are you reading my signature? Who actually opens these things and reads them!

And as always, SEND ME A PM. Please. Or really bad things will happen to you.

It could be something as simple as looking at an object and pressing 'A', then your controls would move you around the object so you could get the best position.

Check out my deviant art http://kadok101.deviantart.com/

This is one of the few ideas that I can actually agree with. It's a simple feature that doesn't sound as absurd as some other I've heard on these forums.

Thanks, just trying to let this benefit both Machinima makers and montage makers.
