You can also discuss the Machinima here!

Information
II Helljumper II is planning on making a machinima, with help form this community. It could even become The official CoD wiki Machinima.

II Helljumper II will need Actors, Voice actors and people who know a lot about warfare. The reason for the last one is that this will be a realistic machinima, showing warfare through the eyes of a USMC solider in Afghanistan.

Here is some info about the machinima:


 * 1st person perspective
 * USMC (Rangers) vs Taliban (OpFor)
 * Map: Invasion
 * Recorded on Xbox 360.

It will be filmed on free-for-all, Hardcore and everyone must have Cold Blooded pro.

Storyline
By Bravo Five-Nine

First Scene - All is calm, the soldiers are talking tactics on the bridge. An Undercover Soldier rushes in and tells the team of the nuclear threat in the city.

Second Scene - Team head to the base and discover a OpFor body, the Undercover Soldier walks off and th rest of the team hear a scream, they go outside by the Humvees and discover the Undercover Soldier's body as well as an OpFor Body.

Third Scene - The team head to the gamestore and defend it against waves of infantry.

Forth Scene - The enemy launch an AC-130 that engulfs the map in smoke, the Main Character gets engulfed in smoke and gets stabbed. The AC-130 get's shot down by another 'US Army Rangers Soldier.

Final Scene - The team launch a Pave low and board it. (COD4 ACTION INSERT) A nuke explodes when onboard the Pave Low and the action in Shock and Awe is reused. (THE PART WHERE THE NUKE EXPLODES) then you can use footage from Aftermath when the crew and soldiers die.

Vote whether you like it, don't like it or think it needs some changes.

Support = It is rather keeping in the lines of dramatic warfare. Bravo Five-Nine

Neutral = We where planing on making a gritty, realistic machinima. This just seems to Holywood to me, maybe with a few changes I could come to like it.   Lima Oscar Zulu Zulu Alpha    Emblem-harrier.jpg

Scene I - Team are on the bridge by the Humvees, talking tactics and other stuff. Command alerts them to get inside as choppers are flying overhead (HIND1 ARRIVES). The team get inside the US base and eliminate all hostiles inside the base with their silenced weapons.

Scene II - The team go through to the Gamestore where they hold off waves of infantry. Team then head to the Extraction zone where they wait.

Scene III - The enemy deploy a Hind that kills the Main Character (Helljumper), the Hind get's shot down with AT-4 rockets.

Scene IV - A Pave Low enters the map for extraction, they leave other soldiers on the ground as the Pave Low leaves. There is a view of the Pave Low leaving and the others fighting on the ground. The team on the ground start to die in slow motion then the screen fades and the episode ends.

Neutral - I think Scene one needs changed, their not just going to run out there. Thats a good way to die real quick. 16:35, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Comment Dolten, I have changed scene 1 a bit.  Bravo Five-Nine  Ask me Anything!  16:41, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - "the team rush[es] outside" Thats not something anyone in the military would do, again that would most likely get you killed. 16:47, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Changed to Support - Thank you. =P 16:58, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support - I like it. Out of curiosity, how are we gonig to record the voices? I ask this mainly because I don't have a 360 but I still want to help. Cpl. Wilding 17:24, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - It still seems to Holywood-y. Maybe they could run to the Choppa instead of holding of infantry. Also how will we record the pavelow taking off?   Lima Oscar Zulu Zulu Alpha

We are filming this in MW2, not CoD 4. Nice Idea though.   Lima Oscar Zulu Zulu Alpha

Ahhh, sorry. 16:25, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Give The Marines the SCAR-H for the M4A1 and give the Taliban the FAL? 16:29, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

That would be great for the very end, Scene 3. Doltensig.jpeg 17:47, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

1st person or Free cam?
What do you think? I think that free cam would be better, to me it is more dramatic and we can get better angles.   Lima Oscar Zulu Zulu Alpha    Emblem-harrier.jpg

Vote!

1st person - 0

Free cam - 3

Free cam - See above.   Lima Oscar Zulu Zulu Alpha    Emblem-harrier.jpg

Free Cam- Per Helljumper. 17:29, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Free Cam - Per Helljumper. Cpl. Wilding 17:32, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Voices
Ok, I see there is some concern over how we are going to record the voices. Audacity is a good program, which allows you to record voices, and I beleive tune it to an extent. It is free, and can be downloaded at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/ I already have it on my computer, and if you can give me some test lines, I can see how well it will work.   404 Error   File Not Found  Please Try Again 17:41, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Audacity is good, I was thinking of using that. You can also add effects to it to, which is good.   Lima Oscar Zulu Zulu Alpha


 * If you give me some test lines, I can test audacity now, to see how well I can play with voices on it. I have a gaming headset, with a high quality mic, so I can hopefully be a voice actor, even if it's a minor part.   404 Error   File Not Found  Please Try Again 17:48, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

I take it a gaming headset will work? 17:51, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

If it is USB compatible, yes, or bluetooth compatible, if your computer has said feature.   404 Error   File Not Found  Please Try Again 17:52, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
