Playtime Machinima Series official thread

Playtime is a machinima series filmed using Halo Reach**.**

It follows 2 friends; Warren and Cobra. Before charging off into battle, Cobra asks Warren to help teach him a thing or two. Warren, being a good friend, is happy to help. Each episode covers a new portion of Cobra’s training. They usually do not go well.

"Hey there, looking forward to Playtime, watched the trailer twice. I had to see it again when you posted that you control both players by yourself at the same time. I can’t wait to see what you come up with! "

To which I responded: “Wait until you see the episode with the Falcons ;)”

… Is the suspense getting to you yet? :stuck_out_tongue:

The 2nd official trailer is online now! Check it out :slight_smile:

And to which I reply…the suspense is getting to me! Watched the second trailer and had a good laugh. :slight_smile:

I’m glad :slight_smile: It’s always tough to know how people will respond to this kind of thing. I find it funny, but that doesn’t mean anyone else will, ya know?

Right, no worries. It was nice to be quoted. Feel free in the future, as long as I spell correctly. :slight_smile:

Believe me, my spelling is sooooo bad, no one will notice if you make a little mistake here or there :slight_smile:

Loved both trailers. Can’t wait for the first episode

I happy to say that I reached “100% content complete” last night. The series is done. Just a few more promotional details to work out. Don’t worry, there will be a few more trailers to hold you over before the show launches :slight_smile:

I definitely liked your teasers. I look forward to the finished product! :slight_smile:

Awesomesauce!

I just released Playtime Trailer #3! I’ve also updated the original post with a link to the new trailer. Check it out!

Playtime - Episode 1 is now online! I’ve updated the OP to include a link. Enjoy :slight_smile:

Only saw two trailers but it’s exciting it’s going to be on waypoint soon!

Any word on that mongoose league?

That was actually pretty funny, good work.

Hey nice, got to check it out and gave it a thumbs up. Looking forward to the making of, and I got my sister interested enough to subscribe, and she doesn’t even play Halo. Can’t wait 'til next week! :slight_smile:

Purty nice. :slight_smile:

I’d say for feedback, maybe some better camera control (which is hard to do sometimes in Theater) and some slightly better editing.

Thanks for the feedback.

I agree. This is my first crack at machinima, so there are quite a few rough edges. All part of the learning process, right :slight_smile:
