Yes, you read the title correctly.
A MASTER SWORD MACHINIMA!!!
Ok, more like a sketch-comedy video.
I was bored one night in MSC and I was thinking, "How could I make MSC more popular?"
Well, this is the answer!

I shall be the directer, producer (lol j/k), writer (partly), and editer of it.

Here's a long list of things that I need first:

1. I need a CAMERAMAN.
Someone experienced in getting good camera angles and has a good recording software. After we're done recording, they'll have to send me the footage so I can edit it with Sony Vegas. Volunteer by replying to this thread.

2. I need (and this is important) ACTORS.
The heart and soul of any machinima. This is the important one. Actors can be any level, but I would hope they'd be higher-level. In fact, I need one low-level person (could be anyone), and a bunch of people with high-level spells. Once again, volunteer by replying to this thread. ACTORS MUST HAVE MICROPHONES!! I suggest that if you have a microphone, volunteer for an actor position.
If you don't have a mic, you can still be....

3. An EXTRA.
The unsung heroes of movies everywhere. They don't need mics, they just sit there, run around, or do anything in the background basically trying to look like they're doing something but not. But hey, they're still in the movie. Literally anyone can apply to be an extra. Once again, volunteer by replying to this thread.

The only problem is, I don't know how many people I actually need, and I don't want TOO many people applying. So I hope everyone doesn't go crazy with the applications.

4. I need WRITERS. (and with writers come IDEAS!)
Obviously I can't organize this entire thing by myself. I need people to help me think of ideas. Remember, this is a comedy. I also want the jokes to reflect common problems/happenings in Master Sword.

Anyways, I have FIVE sketch ideas so far. I don't know if I should say them in this thread because I don't want the machinima's jokes to be spoiled. However, you can also reply to this thread with ideas and I MIGHT make you a writer if I think it's good.

Oh, also, if you're involved in the movie, you also get to be in the credits. :)

None

Actors
Me: Sir Vrak

Great. You can be an actor, Dridje.


However, I have a bit of a problem. I can't access my main character becauce it's corrupted, and I don't know if I should rollback again because I've already done it twice, and I don't want Mikkel to get angry or something. :(
Plus I have the "lboh in lboh that vanishes" glitch and my character might keep getting corrupted again and again...

However, I can still make the movie without my main chracter, but it'll be kinda hard. :|

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I just wish more people would post on this thread...
It seems word's not getting around fast enough; I'll have to go ask around ingame.
If a few people besides me go around telling people about this, that would be great.
There are a few people I would like to help, and those people are: Avacado Maelstrom (Socialists ftw), SilentDeath (he's got a mic), fr0ggy (good friend of mine), Postal (said he could help), Masterchief (also has a mic), and maybe some others.

Also, I'm still having trouble fixing my main character.
However, I can still direct/star-in the movie without him. I'll just have to use a new character.

Oh yeah, and if anyone's wondering when we'll start filming, it will be after we get enough people to star in the movie or help. I'll then set up filming dates and times.

Sorry for not updating this in a while. I got caught up in schoolwork and my brother stayed home a lot lately (which means I can't go on the computer). I might not have much time to update this thread and/or play Master Sword for a while. That doesn't mean people should stop applying, however...

You are now on the list. I just need to know if you want to be an actor or an extra.
Actually, magical firewood DOES play a role in one of the sketches that I thought up. :)

Oh, uhh, holy crap... Haven't checked in on this for a looong-ass time, due to school and the me-getting-tired-of-playing-beacuse-I-lost-my-character factor... And seeing how it's almost Christmas, at which I will be getting Assassin's Creed II, Dead Space Extraction, and Red Faction Guerilla, you guys probably won't see me for a while.

Well, uhh... I could basically call this project dead if I don't get a cameraman, since that IS the most important part of all.
If not, well, yeah, it's pretty much far-gone at this time. I probably won't be accepting any more applications until I get a cameraman. Sorry guys. I just happen to be quite lazy, especially on big projects. (At least I admit it.)
:/

Buuuut hey, things like this take a very long time to organize, so have patience.

I'm not sure if there's a way to setup HLTV with MSC, but there should be. Vomica put together some videos ages back where he managed to do free-floating spectator sweeps of maps - not sure how he did that. I've been wanting to do something similar to do a showcasing of the upcoming maps.

Um, I don't know if it's too late but I happen to have FRAPS (been doing movies for Sven Co-op, about 20 FPS 640 x 480 on D3D, probably the same for Open GL 800 x 600,) some experience in Sony Vegas (windows WMM stinks, I'm more than the guy who does paint effect and Let the Bodies Hit the Floor playing), Sony Acid (for echos, reverbs, high frequency radio effect), Sony Sound Forge (don't have it at the moment), and Sony Cinescore (random generated music, weird program.)

But ignore my ability to use Sony Vegas and all the effects for an acid trip like thingy, if you need a FRAPS guy I might be able to, although I haven't read much of the thread. Also if hud_draw 0 and r_drawviewmodel 0 works you got a clean camera with minimal HUD.
Also, an older video when I was bored.

P.S.: My internet has been going off every 5 minutes and going back on every 15, I don't know if I'll be able to be much help.
P.P.S: I also have a mic if you want voice actor. I use Mumble for it's nice voice quality, since I'm working on a HL1 mod that replaces all the sounds with people's voices or another things around the desktop and some of my friends live in the UK.
P.P.P.S: Is it really that hard to find someone with FRAPS? Ouchi.

Well then, it has been a rather long time since I have seen anything happen here.
You know I'll be frank when I say for an amount of time the thought myself of taking over this project has been lerking in my mind. I recall asking some folks around the servers behind the big update who may have recommended that I try it. I am a little eager to do it myself.

I figure I should at least ask though. If I were to break off and start a new thread under my management (at least until Sir Vrak comes back,) who would like to join me?

Also, zern has left MS:C, if anyone recalls his Good Bye thread.
