Hey there guys, I work with a site (www.heavyeggs.com) and our team is really interested in making a machinima, we have:
a story,
a script for the pilot episode,
a capture card (black magic intensity shuttle)
a microphone (Blue Yeti)
paper and pens for storyboarding
multiple voice actors (our friends who have cool voices :P)
Project Management software (for organising our peeps)
further funding if it’s needed.
We’re planning on using the Halo Reach engine because the forge and theatre feature provides ease of use. Our problem at the moment is finding people to work with us since we’ve never really ventured into filming techniques. Is there a resource that teaches you about camera angles for Machinima and filming techniques specifically for Halo Machinima?
If anyone can help, that would be great, I’m available on Skype to chat as well if you’re up for a serious discussion.
One more thing: we’re documenting our entire process via video blog, so that machinima makers in the future have a somewhat decent guide to making a machinima on the Reach engine from concept all the way to publishing and marketing the video.
Thanks for reading Waypoint community!
