Ugh, I just hope the trip doesn't turn ugly. However, the shirt is probably a very good idea. I don't really mind making fun of any of the candidates, so an anti-Bush shirt is fine with me. Maybe I should get something from jib-jab.com... :) (i.e. Bush is right wind nut-job, or something to that effect)

EDIT (for Mods):We're not arguing about politics, just safety precautions :)

Jackal-
Have you read any bit of this post besides the very last page? Look at some of the shots he has as he's building it up, it's quite an intricate process.

OK, what exactly would you make it out of? How? Are you thinking metal or something? Do you know how to weld, grind, or shape metal? Metal is hard as h*** to work with, especially when you have to constantly re-form it to get it to look right.

Fiberglass maybe? Difficult to work with, requires special tools and techniques, and once it's hardened.....it's hardened. No re-shaping possible, except to cut away the part you don't like.

It's a difficult process, being able to construct something, yet at the same time making sure it looks right. Nobody said Bunnycrusher was a pro, but he's managed to make something that's pretty d*** good.

If you do manage to make your own helmet, Jackal, post some pictures of it on here. If you are really serious about making a cool one, everyone would like to see it. Be warned, however. There are many people who will criticize it unneccessarily... ;)

Hello Bunnycrusher,
My name is Sean Ryno and I am an avid gamester and I am obsessed with good sci-fi stories and scripts. I have myself imagined making a halo movie as an amateur filmaker.(I am not fortunate enough to have the resources) But just thinking about it brought up many problems. No matter how hard and long you work on the suit, itll still look cheesy and have a bad effect on the seriousness of the movie. (unless you wanna make it a comedy. . . . . .NO!) My honest advice is to show the halo fans a perspective most of them haven't seen yet, pre-halo. Master Chief didnt always have a suit, and their were many Spartans in the beginning. Read the books if you haven't already (at least the first and last, cuz the middle one is not so good(different authors)) also I think you would like to read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. (Since John 117 was loosely created from Andrew Wiggins(Ender)). Getting back to my point, there are many stories in The Fall of Reach and one good one in First strike, that occur in John 117's adolescense. plus they take place in wooded areas! These scenes would be cheap as dirt, and if directed well, with decent sound ins, could actually be very entertaing.

I hope you have success with your project and I will watch it when it comes out.

I dont think bungie would think to much of it anyway. unless it turns out horrible and insults the whole franchise, they are probably happy about the attention their games are getting

Absolutely right, Kiddo. I'm sure Bungie is thrilled that people like their games enough to create fanart and fan movies. What other game can you think of that inspires so much love from the fans? (Besides the Final Fantasty series. But those people don't shower much, and tend to spend thousands on their addiction. ;) )

Hmm, same for people who watch Neon Genesis Evangelion, they're getting absolutely robbed. (ADV, aargh!) But it is a pretty hardcore fanbase. (Then again, it's not a game either)

Mr Man-
It's awesome that you're interested. If you really want to get into it, I would recommend you go to urbanfreeflow.com
It is the "headquarters" of parkour, so to speak. I guess you could say it's more like a town center. Anyway, check out the "Parkour Techs" link on the top of the page. It has a breakdown of some of the techniques you can (and some you SHOULD) learn. First thing, I would recommend you learn to roll. It works great as a breakfall, and can get you out of many a bad situation- i.e. clipping your feet on a rail and going over it headfirst.

I would also definitely check out their forums page, there are tons of great people there who are always willing to help, and it just has a great attitude-free vibe. (Unlike a lot of what I'm seeing here. :) ) Parkour is still very underground, and just beginning to catch on in the states, so it will be tough to find anyone in your area, but there are threads on the forum specifically devoted to finding other people who practice parkour, also known as "traceurs"

Go there and explore the site, it has everything you need to know to get started, and they even have some videos of the stuff their people do. Enjoy, and welcome to the freeflow! :)

To answer your question about where to PK, I would start small. Learn the basics first, so that when you do have an opportunity to visit a cool place (Like Rabican going to Paris) you will be able to break loose. Most of the small stuff you could learn right around your house if you have a deck, or a railing anywhere. If you have a fence, or even just a wall, there are lots of things you can practice. If you don't have any of this, you could always set up a sawhorse in the yard, or something. ;)

Exercising is also very important, especially for your knees and ankles. You absolutely must have excellent muscles to stabilize these joints, or else you will damage them. You'll see what I mean when you work your way up to 15-foot drops onto cement. :)

But, again, start with the small stuff. Learn to balance really well, get a feel for how your body moves and what it can do. If you're afraid to try something, DON'T. In PK, there is no shame in backing out of something you can't do yet. You will just end up getting hurt if you try it. Once your basic skills have progressed to the point where you feel confident, give it a go. Start small, work your way up. Good luck! :)

Mr. Man-
That's awesome you want to start PK! You'll progress faster than you might think, heck, I'm only 2 1/2 months in, and I can do enough to impress at least some people (mostly random tourists :) The roll, like ChuckBarris said, is definitely something you want to get down. I absolutely suck at them, which is holding me back a bit unfotunately. Luckily, I'm quite good at sticking regular landings, which will be the other thing you will want to know. And really, the only place to go for learning about Parkour is Urbanfreeflow
