The Machinima Thread!

I had this thread back in the General Discussion thread and I am now making it here with the new forum update!

So basically this thread is for any machinima makers out there that have awesome videos or any videos for that matter that they would like to share. You can ask for feedback, just show off your video, ask for help with stuff, etc. This is a friendly place so please try to contain yourself from anything unnecessary.

I will also be posting videos that could help new machinima makers and when we have a good amount of videos we can start putting up VIDEO OF THE MONTH!

Anyways here are a few of my groups videos:
Campfire Stories Season Finale Trailer
CFS Episode 5 Zombie Apocalypse Part 1
CFS Episode 6 Zombie Apocalypse Part 2
Our Channel

Hope a bunch of people post and indulge in some great videos!

Come on I know we have some machinima makers in these forums!

This is what happens when your playing a Legit Invasion Game and making a Machinima in one.

That was really nice. It didn’t feel like I was watching a regular Invasion game, it actually looked and felt like an actually fighting scene in a machinima. I also really like the camera angles you got where the core would role up to it.

I would post my stuff again, but I feel like I’ve done so enough. I’ll be watching this thread for some good Halo machinima and I’ll post my series in here when it’s done ; )

Oh hey I made one of those music videos like yours and when I posted it the audio was banned for the music… Do you know how I can get around that or why it didn’t happen to you?

Okay, because using music in YouTube videos, under copyright law is technically illegal, YouTube have to do something about it because so many people do it anyway. For some videos (I think it depends on the song(s) used) you will get ads in the videos and a link to buy one of the songs (I assume this acts as compensation for the publishers).

Sometimes however, YouTube will just outright mute your audio. I think my video was covered by Fair Use because I used 10% or less of each song and for non-profit reasons.

I see maybe I need to reduce the time of a couple of the songs I put in.

Damn I was about to make one. You should ask for this to be stickied. Oh well, heres my video.

Machinima AWOL.

Yeah I made it a couple of weeks ago in the general discussion thread but with the forum update I feel it should be in here now.

Maybe make a list of the better quality ones and tidy up the OP, I can post here with a template for you.

Ok I guess I can try and update the OP, but it is setup at the moment how the old one was setup, anyways any suggestions on what I should add

I can see how Invasion with a steady progression from start to finish would be a viable game play for a machinima. Not like CTF -

Capture the flag…

Oh, we have to capture the flag again?

one more time now…

Infection would be alright too I suppose or even race, if it was still in matchmaking.

Does anyone know where I can find a free copy of Spore that doesn’t need the disk. Prefferably without coughtorrentscough as they have a tendency to not work. I bought the game but lost my disk and can’t reinstall it on my new pc.

Here is my take off of your video!
Campfire Songs (Halo Reach Music Montage)

Thank you and maybe I will

This is very true, perhaps even a much better choice for voice overs…
