Some of my friends are making a new machinima that is coming out soon and i thought i would spread it around
here are some links to the adds for it
They look pretty damn good.
The camera angles are solid when you can see the banshees flying over head and when everyone got in the ghosts.
Haha and not to forget the people tea bagging.
Looking forward to the end result
Let us begin. Oh boy :3
-
The Camera Angles were OK in some moments such as the Banshess flying past the Spec-Ops Sangheili but most of the time they were horribly captured as such. An example being an excessive use of the Shaky-Cam effect during the Action Scenes.
-
Voice Acting was mono-tone, bland and overall unenthusiastic. It sounded like a vast majority of films on the Sci-Fi Channel and this isn’t a good way to go on. Try to find voice actors who bring the dialogue as such to a believable and emotional level. We can’t have Gary Stu’s in the Machinima.
-
The story seems extremely weak from what has been shown. Its just a Human Force versus a Sangheili although I can expect you to go for a UNSC VS Covenant motif which is not something to imitate.
-
The clip editing was extremely choppy. I was left confused as to what was going on at the beginning until I figured out that it was the presentation of the monitors. Some effects can be added as such like Matte and Bad TV.
-
The aspect ratio was stuck at 4:3. Here’s a tutorial to help you find out how to convert 4:3 to 16:9 which is Widescreen and the format that YouTube uses currently.

- The body acting was the only thing that I praise in these two videos. The co-ordination by the actors was impressive.
2/10
It wasn’t so bad to the point where I wasn’t able to tell what it was but the whole thing seemed like a huge mess. The presentation was sloppy, the story seems cliche and mediocre at the extreme and the action was under-valued. I think you need to seriously think about retouching your cinematography and such.
