Play to Work, Work to Playtime
Waypoint also featured the latest and final installment in CruelLEGACEY's How To Make Machinima series. Some great advice in there for budding filmmakers as he offers some of his own personal tips and thoughts on how he gets it done. Definitely worth a look! (GrimBrother One 16:13:26 UTC)

Consider me teased.
Timgie stopped in with a link to a machinima teaser - and nothing else. The post (and the teaser) are supposed to be mysterious - I think he succeeded! Go watch. (It's only 24 seconds long - what do you have to lose?) (Louis Wu 14:42:41 UTC)

An Awesome Opening Credit Roll to Tide You Over
Timgie stopped in to show off an incredibly cool draft of the opening for his newest machinima project. It already looks amazing, but he's still looking for your feedback so give it a watch, then stop by to let him know what you think. If the intro looks this good, I can't wait to see the full project!

Holy Trailer Recreation, Batman!
Don't worry, despite Wu's only headlines from yesterday reading "Quitting Halo" and "No Help", I have convinced him to stay around for a bit and use my sometimes-versatile vernacular as a creative crutch whenever he needs. On that note, over the holiday break, HBO participant JIMBOTHY had yet another capital idea and decided to recreate the recent Dark Knight Rises trailer in Halo: Reach machinima-style. The result is awesome; you should definitely check it out! Update: you can now watch a comparison video showing both the original and the machinima version side by side.

Machinima Tutorial: Creating an Epic Battle Scene
Timgie stopped in to announce a new video release - it's a tutorial showing how to build a Reach machinima-based battle using Theater mode, a couple of characters, and After Effects. Pretty useful! (Louis Wu 16:35:46 UTC)

Aftermath (and Flushing Toilet)
Timgie stopped in to let people know about Aftermath, a new Halo 3 machinima he's put together. Poignant. (He's also got a new episode of Reach Customz up, focusing on a pretty fun-looking gametype - but this one was only announced at Halo Waypoint.) (Louis Wu 18:44:35 UTC)

Decline, Part 1
Prime999r stopped in to announce Decline, Part 1 - a French machinima from Fun House Studios. (There are English subtitles - but the best parts of this project are language-independent.) Fantastic cinematography, great set design - really well-done! Part 2 will be out next week.

Another Day on the Job Redux

Queen: The Musical
ZZoMBiE13 pointed out an out-of-the-ordinary machinima project he ran across - XxQmanxXP2B put together Queen: The Musical in two acts (Act 1 | Act 2 | Alternate Ending). It's been out for several months now - but this is the first I'm seeing it. Starts a little slow, but give it a chance! (Louis Wu 16:56:07 UTC)

HALO: Eye of the Storm
We got a note from Philip Kang about a Halo 3-based machinima he's just released. It's nearly 23 minutes long, and it uses the campaign level 'The Storm' to tell a poignant story. Imagine the level, presented as a meticulously-filmed cinematic experience - you'd end up with this. Kang did all the work himself (except the voicework and titles), and put in hundreds of hours over the past two years - the end result is spectacular. (When you watch this, think about how much filming needs to be done to get AI-controlled behavior that matches the shot you need.) If you want to see what you're getting into, there's a short (2:16) trailer to give you a taste. Sometimes the dedication of Halo fans blows me away. (Louis Wu 16:30:49 UTC)

Waypoint Video Roundup
There was a boatload of new material released on Halo Waypoint this week - we touched on only a small portion of it. Here's a summary of some of the videos we missed - there's plenty more content that we're simply skipping! (That means you should explore the site for yourself.)
- jmanX36 put together 'Only Getting Started', a jumping video from Reach's multiplayer - I was really impressed by some of the grenade throws, and the scenery jumps.
- SidewardFuture remade the Jenkins cutscene in the Reach engine - a pretty amazing piece of work, given the limitations set by available resources.
- Stewie2552 released Halo: Reach Fails 13, his latest collection of bad luck and bad decisions.
- The latest collection of games from MLG Raleigh (Finals, games 6-10) are up - it's the end of the 10-game series that Waypoint started last week. Go watch Instinct and Infamous battle it out!
- Jack and Gus from Achievement Hunter did a flythrough of Battle Canyon, the Beaver Creek remake that's included with Halo Anniversary. These guys are good at panning shots, and this flythrough gives you a great look at this map.
Again, there's more - screenshots, Halo in real life, community interaction... go play! (Louis Wu 16:04:01 UTC)

A Machinima Reality Show - depends on YOU
I'm not sure I ever envisioned seeing a project like this one - but I'm wholeheartedly behind this iteration, primarily because of the guy who's putting it forward. pete_the_duck wants to create a Machinima reality show... but he doesn't have the equipment to make it happen. He's decided to ask the community to help; he's fired up a Kickstarter project to fund this. The beauty of Kickstarter is that if his goal ($400) isn't reached in the time allotted (two weeks), nobody owes a penny; the project isn't funded. And pete gets a pretty solid message that this sort of project simply isn't of interest to the community as a whole. If you DO want to see this, though, you can pledge a few bucks; again, you won't be billed until (and unless) the targets are met. I can't see myself endorsing a lot of projects like this; far too many Halo-based projects have great ideas behind them, but enthusiasm fizzles out when the people involved realize how much work is really needed. pete_the_duck has proven himself over and over again as someone who follows through on what he starts - and as someone who comes up with really entertaining Halo projects. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes - if you, the fans, decide to risk your dollars on pete's vision! Update: Whoa. Within an hour of this newspost, pete_the_duck hit his goal, and then some. you guys rock. (Louis Wu 16:29:23 UTC)

Graveyard of Heroes
Pierre Tartaix sent word of the latest machinima project from TGO GMBH - no words, but plenty of emotion. This one's REALLY well done - amazing cinematography. Go watch it.
