Popular Post GryffinGuy007 Posted June 27, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Forging the Future: A group of Spartans (name currently pending) 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 exploded. These 3 Forge monitors were part of a large group of monitors that forged Requiem, the Halo rings and just about every forerunner artefact.An "evil" 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 forge forerunner artefacts for their own use- such as portals. The corporation is controlled by a higher mastermind, known simply as "The Mastermind".The Machinima is being held as an episodic series. Every episode runs for around 5 minutes, with 12 - 20 episodes making up a full season. Anyway, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. If you'd like to participate, just reply with what you may like to do.Thanks a bunch.*AUDITIONS*Feel free to audition for one of the roles listed below.

Maestro Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Would it be a humourous machinima, or a serious one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GryffinGuy007 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Would it be a humourous machinima, or a serious one? Good question. The answer is: Both. The group of Spartans will have humerous conversations between one another and the A.I Forge monitors. On the other hand, conversations between A.T.O.M agents and "the mastermind" would be somewhat serious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Is not JL Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 It sounds.....weird. If its a machinima based around Forging itself, I don't see why it should be serious and have such an intricate plot that involved the taking over of earth. If it's a machinima using forge, well, Project Middleground came out 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to work on this machinima with you, maybe I could be a quiet ATOM agent, since I don't know how my voice acting would be. Also, if you want a cool name for the mastermind, try translating titles such as master or lord into different languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a machinima using forge, well, Project Middleground came out 2011. Well, if it were all comedy, you'd start to run out of jokes. Having a serious side will create a great contrast to the comedy, dividing the Machinima up a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Is not JL Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Superb storytelling would set the forging behind the scenes. As for comedy, Doubt the jokes will run out. Not only that but with Forge you can create physical humor as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadly Just AL Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Honestly, it sounds like a unique idea and will probably shift from the regular "random violence" that Halo 4 Machinimas have. I might be able to help but I need to know the schedule so I know when I'm free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Winter Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Serious > Humorous, but there always space for comic relief which is good, as I was reading the basis for your plot (which I think is very solid to built upon it) I imagined the AI Monitors as being kind of nerdy/awkward/quirky and kind of clueless about the whole situation even though having a large knowledge about forerunner artifacts and stuff. Personally, I would go for serious, but for a machinima to be taken seriously, you'll need a lot of character development instead how -Sparky- said, random violence.

Personally, I would go for serious, but for a machinima to be taken seriously, you'll need a lot of character development instead how -Sparky- said, random violence. You're spot on there. Each monitor, to tell them apart and differentiate them, will have very different personalities. One will be aware of the situation; the intelligent one. Another would be a gun-happy nut-job who believes shooting is always the solution. The final, is just the idiot, the joker, the irritating, irrational one. I feel the Machinima would be 2 thirds Comedy and 1 third Serious, mainly because in order to maintain a serious plot, you need GREAT voice-actors. Comedy... not so much. The serious side would set and drive the story, while the comedy is the guts of it all. It may even turn out half-serious and half-comedy. I'll be writing up the first episode's script soon enough, I just need to know how many people are willing to participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about the voice actors is very true, as long as you work with what you have, this can come up being a good machinima. I can help with the writing in any way you need me too.

King of Winter Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 As an extension to my previous post: In my filming class, I did an original short as my final, and it was a serious drama. Everything came out really good as in the shots, editing (which I can help in, editing itself, color correction, sound, etc.) but I had crap actors, luckily I wasn't being graded for the acting and still received a good grade but because of the acting, the whole thing kinda felt like a big joke.

Is not JL Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I'm good at writing and comedy, and if needed I can body act. I'd also like to voice act...so if you've got audition lines, bring them up. I promise to try to actually stay on topic in the audition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just say the lines and send them in. Or are you thinking about a live audition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GryffinGuy007 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Already so many volunteers! Thanks so much guys, really appreciate your support. I've added a list of the current volunteers. I'll be adding roles as more volunteers come up. Please be aware that if you want to body-act, you may need to be prepared to voice-act too and visa versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
