Machinima

Where's McLeod? I thought he was organizing this.

If it's going to be done, it should probably be done in Garry's Mod. You can set up your own light sources and use any prop or model from any of the games.

I do not have a professional editing tool, but i do have Windows Movie maker and I know how to use it WELL. So I am totally up for editor.

Camerman? Well with Fraps, it makes my compy get uber low fps (like around 5 or 4, which is BAD). Maybe just recording a demo would be better, but i seriously don't know.

Voice actor? Well, i can do a couple of voices well. #1 i can sing, #2 i can TOTALLY do a Strong Bad/Sarge-kinda voice, but with the handicap of a not-so-matured voice. #3, if you need an illegal immigrant of some sort, i do have a rather convincing Latino accent. I am also taking Accelerated Spanish at school for heritage speakers.

Regular Actor? Sure. But my schedule is really hampered right now with school and track. I can totally do on the weekends though, when i am the most free.

I only have one question. Will the voice actors be recorded in the game itself or with professional recording tools?

And Rooted, i do not suggest doing it in Gmod because firstly, i haven't found a way to transfer the stock INS maps anywhere else.

My folders look like this

You have the insurgency one and all of the model-material-sound-logo folders, but in the map folder is just the sound caches, not the actual .bsp files.

Secondly, if you want this to be an INSURGENCY machinima, you might as well film it in INSURGENCY. This is because players who watch the show will be familiar with the locations, which add to the viewer pleasure. When people see an Insurgency machinima, they want Insurgency, not something else.

Anyways, I would like to congradulate SoulRipper for being a really smart person. Although it doesn't take much to make a machinima, it requires planning like all other types of media. SoulRipper has pointed us to the resources we need to make this a good show that people can appreciate, not some random piece of crap.

Looking good!!

I think what we really need next is a script. Nothing too ambitious, just something short I would think. I think the "what not to do" was a good idea. So if someone wants to step forward...

If i may make a suggestion, teaching "what not to do" is generally not a good thing. One of things I've been taught as a weapons instructor is that if you demonstrate "what not to do", someone is always going to do it anyway. But if all they see is how things are supposed to be done, then that's all they know and won't be able to compare it to something else. Also, depending how much info you teach them, if they become forgetful, they may find themselves doing a combination of "good" and "bad" things, which in a sense could be worse than just doing the "bad" thing...if that makes any sense.

I think the idea behind "what not to do" is for the humor value, not for instruction. Other than that, good point. That is another idea, maybe making a video of good techniques (maybe based on the boot camp) as seen from maybe a third person view so you can see everything that's happening.

......... That is another idea, maybe making a video of good techniques (maybe based on the boot camp) as seen from maybe a third person view so you can see everything that's happening.

That would be a good addition to the vid, adding short takes of various squad movements and proper use of weapon systems....

I would like to be a Voice actor too! Also, after eveything is finished, i could choose a couple of songs to put for our video and you guys could vote for them. =)

And I'd like to be a voice actor, I can do some impersonations of accents pretty well.
