Hey. Ever since I watched my first Halo Machinima, "Playin with the Chief" by then known as Digital Ph33r, I wanted to make my very own but I didn't know how. My inspiration was anything made by Jon CJG and any Halo 3 Machinima, mostly Arby 'n' the Chief. I wanted to make a Machinima but I don't know any equipment or software I need. And I can't really afford a computer. So, if anybody could help, could you guys tell me anything I need ? Or if not, could you guys tell me if you need any voice actors, count me in ! Thanks guys!

Well I am looking for some... Head to he offbeat section. There's 3 topics asking for actors:D

 

 

Equipment needed

Xbox

Game

A map forged and ready to play on

Body actors

Capture card

A large hard drive(depends on capture card quality)

Video making software(for gods sake don't use windows movie maker unless there is no other choice. That's bad voodoo)

A script written out

Thanks man! This really helps alot! As for Body Actors, even though I can't record any footage I always practice and use all 4 controllers I have to make it. Since you can't put your gun down and if I flim anything important, I can't risk any lag. But for Voices, I'll ask people for help... oh, if you make any machinima, and you need any voices, I'm here :D lol.

Pretty much everything BaconShelf said.

 

  • A console (suggested: Xbox 360).
  • A game (suggested: Halo 3, Reach, Halo 4).
  • Body/voice actors.
  • A capture card (suggested: Hauppauge HDPVR, costs a lot, but worth it).
  • A good/powerful computer.
  • An excellent microphone for voice acting.
  • Video editor (suggested: Sony Vegas Pro, Final Cut Edit, NEVER Windows Movie Maker).
  • A well thought out script.
  • Maps forged and ready for custom games.

 

Also, watch machinimas on YouTube. Learn from others (Arbiter 617, Digital Virus, etc) for inspiration. Try out some camera angles, listen to music (like Two Steps from Hell, Position Music, RipTide Music, Killer Tracks, Audiomachine, PostHaste Music, Zack Hemsey, Hans Zimmer, Ninja Tracks, Immediate Music).

 

And most of all, remember to not give up. If you try hard enough, your machinima will turn out stunning and people will like it! Just keep going, and try your best while making your machinimas. ^-^

 

Hope I helped! :)
