Great to see people intrested, i would like to be a character myself, but with my british accent it will ruin the mood XD
yeah, but all can be characters, will be fun
so what you wanna do then?
a serious one? or a comedy one?
after watching digitalph33rs guide to machinima he stated that serious machinima is ALOT harder to do, and the next episode should be out today...
well since i 2 am not American nor English i do speak it quite good. better then my writing.
i agree with zen on the serious vs comedy but why seperate them you could do a serious 1 that combines the 2.
i am reasonably good with forge so making maps to fit isnt such a problem. but for a good map that would fit the scenarios that are most common. i say a mix of blackout/guardian/standoff. these 3 are not used allot for machinima so it would bring a original feel to it if used correct.
blackout could be a remote outpost maned buy somewhat of a idiot team with a serious commander ore something in that way.
the script could be something like being hunted by a elite ore a crazy spartan.
also if used together with a different map [it could be a traveling script] it would make a good difference cause its black.
guardian is a nice map 2. specially if you like to make it feel more like a higher being kinda feel. same thing that the machinima "matchmaking" dose in there's.
standoff is like the best "red vs blue" type of map. but even without the rvb feel it would still have allot of scenario places that can make allot of nice scenes.
if you could combine these 3 maps into a story you got a nice feel for different scenes cause of the different lighting.
also all 3 the maps have different scenarios feels. so it would switch up the dialog.
Characters.
now this is the tricky 1 cause i am good with stories but not writhing so here go's.
for a script to work you need ether 2 sides ore 1 that works against someone. i say it like this cause you need to know where to find the focus of the story.
so the best in my opinion since we are a new starting machinima it would be best to base it around 1 team of different characters. this way there is more interaction and places for script.
i have tones of ideas so get me on live ore msn ore email if the other 2 are impossible for you.
