Okay, so, if you’re wondering what this is about, you can check out the original post here. Currently, I’m still looking for body actors, and even a small little gaming community, to help make my vision come to life.
Maybe it’ll help to give you some back story on my Machinima Expedition. It really all started with Red vs Blue, and I owe a lot of thanks to them for inspiring me to do this. I also have to thank Bungie/343i for keeping this game alive, but more on machinima.
I started to notice other types of machinima from Hollywood Halo mostly, and this is when I decided I wanted to do voice over work for machinima. Mostly because I’d love to be a part of a comedic team. Well, soon enough, my mom had gotten into Halo: Combat Evolved on the PC, and that gave me excuse to try and use that, however, it flopped, but I was still determined.
Eventually getting xbox live, I met my good friend Paul on Halo 3, and we made a small sketch comedy show called Halo Chicken, but these were never made by me, just Paul. We eventually opened up a joint Youtube channel called Our Dark Cloud. When I got my capture card, we started making videos like crazy, but I was always trying to think of some new type of Machinima, a story that may have not been told, and I never did get around to finishing any of these either because I lost interest, or I didn’t have the help.

I had a lot of good ideas, but really what makes me lose interest is the lack of help I get. This eventually makes the project look sloppy and lazy. A good example of this would be my first Halo 3 Machinima movie, and by movie I do mean movie, called “Spartan-169: Final Stand”. Never heard of it? Exactly. This project took me two months to write, and was never even finished. I tried hard to look all over the internet for voice actors, and I remember doing one scene over and over again on Valhalla. The opening scene. Eventually the body actors just became uninterested and this made me uninterested.
However, now more then ever am I motivated to get people a brand new, untapped story of the Halo Universe. I am pleased to announce that I am currently writing the first draft of my Halo fan film “Insurrection”, which takes place before the Covenant even attack humanity. This story is so untouched by fans. I’d love to do my best to tell a story of epic proportions, and I am determined to release this one final attempt at machinima, but there is of course one problem; body actors.
I lack the friends with the kind of passion I have about this script, and I have never been more excited to release something. Though the script is still only being written, I need to prepare and gain body actors to assist me in creating something so epic. You will of course receive credit for helping me, and you’ll be seen on youtube.
I refuse to let this great story die, so please send a friend request my way on xbox live, and tell me you are trying to help me out. Thank you so much for reading, I know this is a long post, and I apologize for it, but there is no other way to convey this message to you.
