Perception is everything.

Hey everyone. I'd like to let you guys in on what I'm working on. First, I'd like to say I haven't been successful with my past machinimas. I once tried this machinima, but I failed at it due to inexperience. This saddened me because I feel it has an amazing storyline.

I am once again attempting to shape this video series to look and feel like my image. To do that I'm going to need a little help. My friends are helping me with the acting and script, but there is one thing you guys can do. As I work on each episode, I will post my progress in this thread. I will create a preview of what's done periodically, and give a review of that preview. I need you guys to give me your opinions and suggestions on how to improve before I release the episode.



Please keep in mind that watching the previews will spoil the episode, but I'm guessing you don't care enough about my series for that to matter. :(

EPISODE 1

Preview1

This preview was like a crappy rough draft. The clips shown are too long in some parts and too short in others. They don't fit together smoothly, and the music doesn't work well at all. I'll probably end up getting this scored. There is also no voice acting in this preview. You also could clearly see that the character wasn't typing.

Preview2

Changed the camera angles to make the video run together smoothly. Took out the music, giving it that empty feeling, which will probably remain until the video is finished and scored. Added voice acting, but the radio is too loud. I'll change that in the next preview. Made it look like the character could be typing. Added a guard to be eliminated to give the viewer a clear message that this is a stealth mission. I also need to silence that shot so that it makes more sense, considering he's on a stealth mission and would need a silenced gun.



Please leave your comments and suggestions. Thank you for your time.
