FILMING = COMPLETE
UPDATE #6 - Yeah I’m basically recording all the scenes right now with my capture card, I’m going to pull a Blizzard move and delay the release from labour weekend due to time restraints, ability to wake up early (sorry >-<), and having fun on the last few days of summer before schooling starts. When Schooling starts I’ll give more of an update of how it will go. I’m planning on recording all the scenes over the last few days so I can just work on the editing for the last part. So I’m going to try to juggle schooling and this machinima. It will be completed no joke. More updates will be given at the end of each month on how I’m doing regarding completion.
I guess it should be noted that this is my first time creating my machinima… so if it ends up to be crappy oh well. I’ll learn from its failure and keep on making some more/improve myself to the point where it’s likeable 
alright I’m just updating here if lurkers are still looking around/same body actors from live. Those I’ve worked with will be sent a notification over Xbox Live Message soon. This post gives me more freedom to type more so it’s pretty awesome :3
PLEASE COMMIT TO YOUR WORD AND SHOW UP FOR THESE MEETINGS AS PLANNED, IF YOU KNOW YOU WILL FORGET DON’T EVEN BOTHER VOLUNTEERING FOR ANYTHING, THANK YOU. COMMUNICATION IS ALSO NEEDED ON WHEREABOUTS AND MEETINGS, ETC.
UPDATE #1 - HALO 3 HAS BEEN FINISHED!! I JUST NEED PEOPLE FOR HALO REACH THANKS!!
UPDATE #2 - ALL DIALOGUE SCENES WITH IMMENSE MAJOR CHARS ARE COMPLETE, NEED EXTRAS FOR BIGGER SCENES NOW. I WILL ALSO UPDATE THIS POST WITH A TIME OF WHEN FILMING WILL TAKE PLACE IF YOU WANT TO JUMP RIGHT IN!
UPDATE #3 - Couldn’t finish the entire filming thing, there’s only 2 scenes left to which would take about 30 mins - 1 hr to complete. Probably going to finish today, you still have a chance to join in.
UPDATE #4 - Everything has been filmed, i will now look through all the footage that was filmed and check if i got everything. If I’m missing some shots/scenes I will keep the advertisement open. Until then just hold for an Update #5
UPDATE #5 - I seem to have all the scenes/shots completed, missed a few but it was finished. Now I’ll start filming these and go into post-production probably be open to Voice Actors for extras. If I somehow thought of something amazing needing body actors this will be reopened.
BTW THE ENTIRE MACHINIMA IS AROUND 10-15 MINUTES, IT’S LIKE A SHORT FILM IN A SENSE. NOT A SERIES, JUST ONE VIDEO!!!
TIMES - NORTH AMERICAN TIME USUALLY, WE CAN MAKE AMENDMENTS TO FIT YOU IN NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD
I WOULD ALSO APPRECIATE IF YOU TELL ME YOUR TIME ZONE WHEN YOU VOLUNTEER RIGHT OFF THE BAT SO I DON’T NEED TO ASK FOR IT.
ORIGINAL POSTING:
Okay, I need body actors for my machinima as you can tell by the subject headline. Everything is literally set up for you guys for maps. All the previous parts have been completed. I will just need you to run about and act; goofing off will cause such a long and unnecessary wait for everybody. These shots take literally seconds to a few minutes if done right; the faster we do this, the less time we waste.
Plot wise; this game takes place “in matchmaking online.” It’s not related to the actual story of Halo whatsoever (sorry). Hopefully, if done right I would be able to produce an adequate machinima.
NOTE: THIS WILL BE FINISHED, YOU WILL ALSO BE NOTIFIED ON COMPLETION OF SAID MACHINIMA. CREDIT IS OBVIOUSLY GIVEN, THANK YOU FOR THE INTEREST.
COMPLETION OF FILMING, NO NEED FOR ARMOUR SPECIFICS. THANKS FOR LOOKING AT THIS THREAD!
Alright, let’s get things down straight. Read the rules first before volunteering also some specifications needed for the armour.
Rules:
-No killing/grieving anybody in the lobby unless otherwise told by the Director(me).
Reason: Not only will this delay lots of time for everybody on set but you will look like an -Yoink- by doing it. You have to realize that I want to finish this as fast as possible so we don’t waste our own time doing non-sense.
-No talking in the party/lobby when filming or directing.
Reason: The Director needs to talk to the body actors while filming and you may cause a distraction to the people acting it out.
-Use your head
Reason: Common sense is obviously needed.
THANK YOU FOR READING AND SHOWING INTEREST!!!
After all the help you guys have given me so far in this production I’ll give something back in return by going more in-depth with the plot of the story.
Plot: Setting is based in an Xbox Live Match however not everything is so hostile like nowadays but more of a nicer environment kind of like most communities, trying to mimic such things due to the fact I played during that era and those communities still exist today. Friendships are made, merged, founded, etc. Skills are improved and the idea of getting better at something.
Is this a better summary? No, but it gives something more than just “It’s based off a Xbox Live Match in Halo.”
