Popular Post GryffinGuy007 Posted September 2, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 In association with the 343industries Community Forum, OnlineKnights and TheHaloForgeEpidemic, may I present to you... the Forging The Future Official Page! INTRO Now that I have all the voice/body actors and associates I need for now, I decided to set up this official page. Here I will upload each episode as they roll out, to provide you people of the forum with up-to-date content in terms of the Machinima. Whether you're interested or not, I suggest you stick around for while, as there's plenty to come. CONTENT Although not a single episode has been released yet (see above banner), this Machinima has gained a sizeable following thus far. FTF is an action/comedy Halo 4 Machinima series, that will be released in around 5 minute episodes. Some exciting features include CGI animation with original CG models. Viewer discretion is advised for viewers under 15 years, as it contains: -Course Language -Violence -Sexual References -Mature Content PLOT A squadron of Spartans (Dan, Wilson, Lloyd, Vincent and Garry) are sent from Infinity to be dropped off on Earth on a search mission to find and protect 3 A.I Forge monitors, which landed on Earth after Requiem's explosion. These 3 Forge monitors were part of a larger group of monitors that forged Requiem, the Halo rings and just about every forerunner artefact in the Halo galaxy.Another corporation known as A.T.O.M (Atmospheric Tracking of Orbital Monitors) are on the hunt for the 3 Forge monitors so that they can be taken advantage of to forge forerunner artefacts for their own use. The corporation is controlled by a single, grim individual, known simply as... "The Mastermind". SCHEDULE Watch each episode as they're released either here, or on the OnlineKnights youtube channel - every second/third Wednesday. Yes its a while to wait, but we have other content over there to watch while you're waiting. I do highly suggest you go ahead and subscribe. RECRUITMENT & SUGGESTIONS This Machinima is what I plan to be somewhat "community-driven". This means that I will be most definitely taking into account any tips or suggestions from the community. Wish to get involved? Throw me a PM with what you'd be interested in doing, and I'll sort you out. I'll always have a role open, such as body acting, extra voices, etc. for any who wish to volunteer. If you have any editing tips or plot/script suggestions, be sure to do the same. Feel free to comment and post. Talk about whatever, ask questions, anything that stays within the confines of this Machinima.

Church Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I am excited to be working with Gryffin and OnlineKnights on this project. As some of you may know, I design CGI professionally, and am thrilled to work with an animator on this project to design some seriously cool CGI. Kudos to Gryffin for spearheading this project. I think that it is going to be truly awesome! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuette Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I have to say this, not many machinima's I've actually liked just from looking at the cover or have joined actually went through with it and for that, a toast! Oh yeah, if you want some extra background voices, just ask me and I'll do it for you especially if you have something comedic in mind ;D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconShelf Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 The machinima logo at the beginning makes me cry blood in disgust. Other than that, I can't wait to do my part in the series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-38 Boss Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) EEEEEE! I'm also assuming that's supposed to say 12/10/13? Edited September 22, 2013 by D-38 Boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy_Dan Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Has S1E1 been released yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooliest Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Not yet Drizzy. Not yet. It's getting close though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GryffinGuy007 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Has S1E1 been released yet? That's a negatory, I'm afraid. The closest thing to being released in the new cinematic trailer we're currently producing. With over 20 people hard at work on this Machinima project, that's the most we can do for now. However this one WILL be 15x better than the other, with more CGI, original soundtracks and more. Also, add me on Skype: gryffinguy007. I'll let you into the group so you can watch the progress. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Good luck. I'll applaud you, be significantly surprised and impressed if you can pull something good off with the limitations of Xbox and Halo. No, don't bloody take offense and hide the post, please.

GryffinGuy007 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Old topic, I know, but nowhere else to put this. Behold! A brand new cinematic trailer with more editing, CGI and camera work! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGWJRpyJF3E 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 It is truly on, take these tips and treat them as rules: Take advantage of camera angles and slow motion, do not use just one angle for whole action sequences, make sure slow motion doesn't last for over 2-3 seconds unless it is specifically a slow motion piece to emphasise something. If there's an assassination, use two shots at different angles that last no more than a second each, no one is entertained by seeing a recording of an animation that they've already seen in the exact same way thousands of times. Never use music incorrectly. Use the uplifting music, such as all of the Two Steps from Hell tracks that are popular right now when there is an event that is in favour of the 'good' side or the protagonist. Don't just play a whole song over something unless it actually fits perfectly. Make your story by doing these two steps: make characters with their own desires, believes and personal goals. Put them together and watch! That's basically how you make a story. The plot line will then come out of this. Your plot-line should never have a victory that doesn't also have a defeat attached to it, or the opposite way around. Professional characters are professional. They aren't going to bring up arguments in the middle of something, they won't let personal feelings drown their resolve, that will only ever happen when there is a conflict; this shouldn't barely ever happen in machinimas. Don't have an undetected professional character go do something pathetically stupid, like running into an open room unless there is a grand plan. There should be many, many, many moments when a professional character is about to be killed, but is saved by another professional character. The best way to use these moments, from personal experience, is a distraction ("HEY!" / *shoots at feet*) or an instant-kill (Headshot / heavy weapon impact). Do not make things tedious, ever. Always try and find ways to add completely unexpected events in. Its fun to see what happens if a Warthog comes out of nowhere and completely messes up plans. Fun to see that Warthog being flipped by the concussion of a Scorpion's cannon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
