Forum:Machinema, Anyone?

Just an Idea that popped into my head. Here we are, some Halo fan fiction writers, that all have long stories about Halo, why don't we put our minds together and make a fanfiction machinema?! I bet most of you have got intresting ideas for one, and I sure go too, so who's with me? &#91;&#91;User:Vtar &#39;Kakumee&#124;Vtar]] 12:57, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Interesting idea, I would join gladly if I knew of someone who had a capture device, and a good one, and if we had a good camera man and director, so it wouldn't suck. I know I'm neither. I am making a couple of fanon comics though, which actually tie in with the books somewhat.

Sure, sounds good.... Just Another Grunt Converse 06:46, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Nice that so many liked it. My idea is this: After defeating the Covenant, the Humans and Elites started mopping up the survivors. But the Elites don't care about the Humans, they don't even talk to them, even more less help them in combat. They just walk right past the. And after every species that once was part of the Covenant surrendered (execpt the Brutes and Drones, who's had to be all extinct) the Elites turn on the Humans and attack them.

Luckily for the Humans, they are prepared. Noticing the Elites behavior, they started another SPARTAN program (Note that all your fanon about other spartan programs are not part of this story arc) codenamned only SPARTAN. They now have a much bigger number of armor to choose and is better trained than the others.

A big war is closing in and no-one can say who will be vicorios.

That's my idea, post your others &#91;&#91;User:Vtar &#39;Kakumee&#124;Vtar]] 12:17, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Uh, forgive me, I'm only a newbie, but the Sangheili have never seemed like ones to do that kind of thing to allies. Now, if it was Prophets or something, I could understand. But the Elites? They're just too... honorable. Hell, I understand that the Human-Sangheili Alliance was rather heated, but that's extreme.

Yeah i wouldn,t mind being the camera man!!! Mabye we could use forge? Also is this going to be serious or comedy, because sometimes comedy doesn't work and it makes you look like a noob but if you do it serious it works just as well but with less effort? I could also help with scripting? What do you say:

Supreme Councillor Parkster Holo-ComMy Empire

I've had an amazing (well soi think) idea for machinema: What happens is that there are 5 or six different spartans who are in different custom game lobbies and then play spartan soccer (with the big ball) as a hobby (notice that this is slightly comedy but with good carayography) and somehow all meet up together in the same lobby. Then they all become friends.

Or a better idea is that there are 5 or 6 spartans who are at a training camp and in there spare time they play spartan soccer (more on the game later). Now before i go on, this may sound lame but, i'm being vauge so we can play around with the begining and how they become friends. So then they are all on foundry and decide to make a halo fanon, or just a random named, soccer team. They then recreate foundry to a football stadium (like seen in one of the bungie weekly updates) and start to train their team and organise fixtures with different teams. This will probably take about one or mabye two episodes. they then play a certain team every episode with some maches going over two episodes and some other stuff happening instead of soccer; so the viewers don't get spammed with soccer games! But underneath all of these different games and stuff; there is an under-lying main plot line (like mabye winning the galatic boom ball cup!). Yeah, mabye we could call it Boom Ball (as you use gravity hammers and the soccer ball)?

To be honest the possibilities are endless and its up to all of us but this idea, i think, will be a great, and most importantly origonal, machinema. So what do you say because i would love doing something like that?

P.S: you never know we could even invite the red vs blue team to play against us in their very own specialised episode! Supreme Councillor Parkster Holo-ComMy Empire

 * "Die Another Day" from James Bond: Die Another Day (This is a very interesting, jumpy and fast paced song that could be used for areas with big amounts of action, like large battles) -- The Lord of Monster Island


 * As in 1 of Justanothergrunts comments below, Life On Mars by David Bowie, for my idea on how it could be used, "I reckon at some point, u should do this camera shot of the main character, starting low, looking up, then slowly going around, to show a view over his shoulder of a huge battle below him with life on mars by David Bowie playing.... maybe followed by some slow-mo in the battle below"


 * The Fallen by Franz Ferdinand, from the album: You Could Have It So Much Better With Franz Ferdinand (An example of its use could be a scene where a supposed Allie has been seduced to an opponents side, and fights his own team)


 * Genius by Kings Of Leon, from the album: Youth & Young Manhood (An example of its use could be a scene where the heroes attempt to escape their foes in a warthog [In a more light hearted manner]


 * Stockholme Syndrome by Muse from the album: Absolution (An example of it's use could be a scene where a heroe and a well established villain face off on a precarious ledge, with the villains allies firing upon the heroe as the two dual)


 * "I Dreamed There Was No War" by The Eagles, from the album "Long Road Out of Eden". Sort of a wearily hopeful instrumental, perhaps suitable for end credits. --<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 19:31, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

If we're going to include Halo 1 songs, we might as well do the remixed Halo 3 versions. --

It's before the Battle of Reach, so there's more SPARTANs that are alive.

A group of at least three SPARTANs are hanging out at the beach on the map "High Ground", when there's an explosion (possibly caused by a pile of fuel rod cells and propane tanks :D) in the base. A firefight in the base breaks out. The SPARTANs go in, kill what they think are all of the attacking Elites (possible 00:30+ fight scene), but an Elite pops out of a building, throws a grenade, then goes back into hiding.

The SPARTANs chase after him into the building. <Location switches to the tunnels at "Isolation".> They end up in a series of tunnels, of which have multiple machine gun turrets at the end, and plenty of grenades (so the actors can cause a lot of explosions to keep the SPARTANs at bay).

... ... ... And that's all I've thought up so far. Somehow the SPARTANs kill the Elites, and something for the resolution. (Total duration of video: 2:00 to 5:00-ish.) 03:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Post-war setting on Sangheilos. Several pacifistic Human scientists have chosen to live there for a while to study the Sangheili people and promote relations between their people. However, a group of Sangheili radicals, who oppose the alliance, are pushing their way into parliament (or what have you). Soon the Sangheili politician supporting the Human scientists finds his policies under fire, and he takes every effort to ensure that they do not end up being deported, including a few illicit favors. Meanwhile, the Humans find themselves subjected to racism from numerous Sangheili civilians.

Eventually, the radicals get fed up trying to win slow political battles, and when most of the Sangheili are at a big event they send out people to attack the Humans. The scientists, who never wanted to hurt anybody, are forced to take up arms to defend themselves. However, the radicals put a different spin on it and report that the Humans have gone rampant and attacked harmless technicians, giving them the power to command Government militia. The Humans are forced into guerrilla tactics while they try desperately to contact their friendly politician guy so that the truth can come out.

A very inspiring idea, Dragonclaws. It has had me thinking very intently for the past few days -- I'm thinking on the general lines: I love the delicate political element. What I'm considering is as follows: the Elite peoples on Sangheilios are considering a truce with the UNSC. Despite the Battle of the Ark and the death of the Prophet of Truth, there are still are fierce Elite patriots that refuse to defile themselves with the human presence. Meanwhile, ONI recieves intelligence about the ultranationalist leader, who also had strong terrorist ties and has been disturbing the fragile peace. An ONI reconnaissance team is sent to investigate a private camp set up by the ultranationalist, and the situation erupts into a tremendous conflagaration. The ONI agents, killed, are hailed by the ultranationalists by human spies, despite the fact that the camp they were surveilling was questionable. Human and Elite patriots alike begin to denounce the peace, and an ONI special-operator team has been surrepitously dispatched to handle the situation before it sweeps from ultranationalists to the whole of the population. They're an autonomous command, and are sent to eliminate the Sangheili ultranationalist leader and UNSC senior officials that disagree with the truce. My description is very quick and messed up, but I sincerely hope it's a viable and discussable one.

Ok... scraped WWIV Idea, how bout theirs a small team of Spartans attempting to stop the Elites from gaining all the Keys to unlock a mechinism on a forerunner Installation (From the Map Valhalla) That can destroy entire planets, The team must travel to 3 maps in order to gain the keys, though just by having 1 they can stop the Elites, Travelling to the 1st known location (The Map Construct), the key in a hidden Forerunner Installation, They find a rampant Monitor, who has also been attempting to gain the key their, and uploads its AI into a computer carried by One of the Spartans, The Elites have allready constructed a lift to reach the key, though the Spartans still beat them to it, in their attempt to escape they are surrounded, with several team members injured and are forced to hand over their Key, The Spartans then escape as the Rampant Monitor attempts to attack the Elites.

After the Failure the Spartans discover the Elites also have another piece, on one of their ships (displayed by the level Epitaph) The Spartans launch a quick assualt, though one of their soldiers is captured, the group manages to escape with the key.

When they return to their own base however, (The map Pit) They find the Elites have laid an ambush and the Spartan carrying the Key is killed as the others escape.

With no idea where the final piece is the Spartans hatch a plan to break out a known terrorist, who also happens to be the leading expert on these keys, having studied them for years. The terrorist is in a Captured UNSC Base converted into a maximum security prison by the Elites,(Done on the Map High Ground) but the Spartans succeed in breaking in, rescuing him and escaping.

They then suceed in locating the final Key, (In the Sandtrap Map) Only to be captured by a splintercell group of Humans, who want to use the Key as a bargaining chip with the UNSC, they eventually do get the Chip, with the Elites in Hot Pursuit, though the Spartans are then left for dead in the middle of the desert as the Splinter Cell attempts to escape, only to be quickly killed by the Elites and the Key taken.

Returning to Valhalla, the Spartans launch a desperate last attempt to defeat the Elites, the Spartan Previously captured escapes and kills the Elite Leader, though his second Command activates 2 of the three Keys, before being killed by the main hero, the Terrorist However still manages to activate the last Key, and attempts to destroy as much of the Both UNSC and Covenant controlled planets as possible, though after a bloody battle he is felled, and the Spartan deactivate the machine, deciding it best that noone have complete control of it, as a cliff hanger the Monitor shown at the start will appear and start fixing the equiptment on Valhalla, now with a large army of Spartan Robots his AI has been downloaded into thanks to the Computer he hacked into near the start.

I wasn't yet 100%....

The storyline would be about the struggle of a group of SPARTANs and Elites on a very obscure UNSC border colony. Isolated on the small world, the SPARTANs have been waging war with the Elites even after the start of the Civil War (the Colony had been officially classified as glassed, although many areas of the planet were still intact). However, as events take place, (the destruction of the Ark, or something other), ancient Forerunner machinery begins to go into motion, and a secondary fail-safe for activating the Halos is discovered. The Monitor strives to get each opposing side to aid him in activating the fail-safe, (I'd happily oblige to be the Monitor, which can be achieved in Forge) and when true intentions are discovered, things begin to go horribly wrong.

Dragonclaws #3
Post-war setting. A Human vessel taking a Human and a Sangheili diplomat (and all of their guards) to Sangheilos makes a 'brief' detour after receiving a distress call on a nearby planet, currently undergoing terraforming transformation. On the planet, they find a smashed-up Phantom containing what looks like their shipboard AI, calling for help. "I'm sorry," she mutters to the bemused crew, before executing a command obliterating all traces of her from the system. Suddenly, a group of (Human) savages assault them, taking many of them prisoner.

The ship is forced to stay to launch a rescue attempt. But when they try to call for help from the UNSC, they find themselves utterly incapable of breaching Slipspace due to some local anomaly. They must land and fight off the savages themselves. However, some conflicts arise between the Sangheili and Humans regarding the proper course of action - the Sangheili have no problem with (and indeed want) killing all the Human criminals, while the Humans think they should be captured and brought back for the courts to take care of. Some of the Sangheili then end up killing some savages just to make a point.

Meanwhile, the captured team is brought to the savages' religious leader, who seeks to indoctrinate them in their belief - one eerily similar to the Covenant's. He states that the Forerunners were once mortals quite like humanity, but created a path to the divine realm and ascended into gods. The prisoners cautiously explain the myth of Halo, but the savage laughs, saying Halo has nothing to do with the Great Journey. They are shortly rescued, not by their crewmembers who were actually attacking the wrong place, but by a group of colonists who still maintain their Abrahamic beliefs, and were hunted down by the Forerunner-worshipers as heretics.

They explain to our guys what happened. During earlier stages of transformation, a Forerunner building was detected underground. As ONI wished to examine everything carefully but could not while the planet was still partially terraformed, they had the local government branch build their facility directly above the site to ensure no civilian interference. After Installation-05 sent out its pulse, the once-dead equipment became charged. The government leader tried to interpret the hieroglyphs on his own, using a program he had developed based on its similarity to Mayan script, and came to the conclusion that the Forerunners ascended into gods with a mystical pathway only he knew how to find. His charisma spawned a fast-growing cult, one that readily took over the population.

Meanwhile, the cultists wage war with the UNSC/Sangheili, using a hodgepodge of pistols and sentinel beams. The leader makes a big display of how the gods are for them and will punish all heretics, before activating a colossal EMP that fries all Human electronics, permanently grounding their ship (and destroying the terraforming machines). His plan is to make everyone entirely dependent on his Forerunner artifacts. However, a Sangheili sniper manages to mortally wound him, forcing him to make a hasty retreat into the Forerunner facility to ascend to godhood and immortality.

Our guys, aided by the 'heretics', press onward and pursue the leader. They manage to corner him in the caves when he activates a portal, what he calls the beginning of the Great Journey. He runs through the portal, along with several of his minions. Our guys know that it's just a wormhole, but also know that the cult-leader could seriously mess things up with whatever is on the other side. They make a team willing to go in, including some heretics and reformed cultists, and leave to either save the world or just find a way to contact the outside.

I haven't figured out what's on the other side yet, but it would have some weird time travel twist at the end.

Comments
This has the potential to work as an ensemble drama with a scifi plot and room for character development. The different factions of Humans could be accomplished using different armor; samurai would work well for the cultists, I think. --<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 20:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Alternatively, the time travel plot could be discarded and just replaced with a heretic beacon. That would simplify things. --<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 05:46, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Just thought we could...
Can we kinda sort this out we have here a flurry of ideas, for plots, characters, music... I just think we need to get this sorted out, say we take a vote on all the current Plot ideas, and then expand upon that idea, that way we're at least progressing towards our goal of making some good machinema, From there we can build up the characters, and through XboxLive, audition those who've allready signed up, we can then draft up storylines, or expand upon the allready existing ones, and then sync in some music, and together, judge what best suits the moment. U don't hav 2 agree with any of this, I just thought it could kinda get the ball rolling. Thnx 4 botherin 2 read this Just Another Grunt Converse 09:24, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd say give people another week to post story ideas, then set up a vote. As for the voice-acting, wouldn't it be better for people to read lines into Audacity (or whatever) and post it with Megaupload or something?

Common Denominator
Dear all,

I've already been working on a script for Dragonclaws's first idea -- Common Denominator. I was already discussing it yesterday with Dragonclaws, JWR, and CommanderTony, and so far they concur with the concept and my makeshift script. I apologize that the script is unformatted and wholly incomplete. Tony's begun designing the maps already and JWR and Tony have begun outfitting the characters.

This is the concept: the Human-Covenant War has ended, and Halo 3 is finished. However, despite the cooperation of Fleet Master Rtas 'Vadum and Shadow of Intent battlegroup with the UNSC Home Fleet in the Second Battle of Earth and the Battle of the Ark, the Elites are still at ill ease with the humans. Many humans remember that it was the Elites that begun the war thirty years ago, and the Elites feel warm antagonism to the barbaric infidel and apeish vermin. The UNSC is on the Elite homeworld, Sangheilios, to negotiate a truce. However, most of the Elite population is opposed to a formal truce between the humans and the Elites. The most extremist resistance lays in the Ultranationalists, zealous Elites who will do anything to prevent a permanent ceasefire to be negotiated. Meanwhile, a small UNSC research team is on Sangheilios, led by two PhDs, and guarded by three UNSC soldiers: an ONI lieutenant by the name of Wakes and a pair of Marine guards. The Ultranationalists mob the UNSC team, and they are forced to flee in a guerilla fashion and defend themselves, killing Elites, and giving justification for the Ultranationalists to demand that the humans are barbarians who are fully willing to kill Elites. Meanwhile, the onus lays on the research team: they must get back in contact with the UNSC embassy and tell them of the falsehoods being perpetrated. For ONI, the situation is irreconcilable: as long as the researchers live, and Ultranationalists will continue to stir a fervor with the already difficult Elite population. The objective of Bravo Team is the covertly assassinate the members of the hideaway researchers, and conclude the whole situation.

Of course, it gets more complicated. I have written each "normal" scene so there doesn't need to be more than five or six actors in a scene. Battle scenes might require more actors. Acting will occur through Xbox Live. Voice parts can be coordinated over Skype + Audacity. Contact RelentlessRecusant to join or for more information. Discussions for Common Denominator occur on #halopedia and #gearspedia. Actual actors will require Halo 3 and Xbox Live Gold. Voice actors only need to download Skype and get in touch with me.

Hi, I wonder, can someone who's not helping in the creation of the Machinima (I really wished I could help, but I don't have the neccessary equipment) request a character or two to be in the machinima? If so, then I got a few requests.

Im not sure how 2 out this.... Has the vote Closed? Dragonclaws idea has 3 votes, now its allready got scripts designs auditions? Justanothergrunts idea has 2, and 1 guy in the comments who says thats his favourite I dont know if that counts or not, but that at least makes it even, then we have all the people (and it's alot) who've contributed and r still yet 2 vote, I know most of them probably will end up choosing Dragonclaws idea, as it allready has such publicity on this site, But wat if its out voted?

(BTW this is Justanothergrunt been gone 4 ages and 4gotten my password.... I wrote it down somewhere... when i find it I'll change this.)


 * Well, my idea is currently in production, but who says we have to make just one? It would probably be simpler to focus on one at a time, but we needn't behave as if it's just one story that won the competition. This is more a bunch of guys working on something than an official wiki project or what not. --<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 08:43, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
