News: Breaking the boundaries of machinima?

Well, as most of you know, in machinima, you're limited to only a few verbs: walking, running, crouching, and nodding. But with the power of 3D animation, I can have a lot more verbs. I've been ripping some models from the Halo games (which is a pain, by the way), and I've designed my own idle and walking animations!

3D Idle Animation Test

This could be the next step in my machinima career!

News: Big Movie

God, I'm bad at updating this thing, aren't I? So anyway, I'm currently working on what is probably my biggest project ever. I don't want to reveal too much, but this movie certainly allowed me to experience some things that are new to me in machinima directing. You may not know this, but in nearly every video before this upcoming one that I've ever made, I have had no body actors at all. Just me, sitting on the couch, operating 3 controllers at once. That certainly tells you something about my social life doesn't it? Anyway, one thing in particular that was new, was body acting. Body acting up until towards the end of filming was a total squeaker shit storm. I know I'm not popular on Youtube, but there were so many squeakers in the lobby, shouting at me to let them choose their own armor or weapons or stupid shit like that. Throughout those few days, there was a total of 5 prepubescents booted from the lobby. However, I somehow managed to get all the filming done. But then comes voice casting... oh dear God... actually, there's only two more characters that need voice actors, and that's it (both of whom are Elites). On that note, if you're interested in voice acting, go ahead and send your audition to jackhf@live.com.

Thanks for reading, -Jack
