If only I had a bucket...

Well, winter's finally here. I swear to god, my current winter gear manages to appear so bulky that if I put a bucket on my head and carried a power drill around, I'd look like a budget Big Daddy or some shit. I'm not even kidding.

Blurg.

Well, with the EPIC FAILURE of my XBOX, I can't film Vanguard: Insurrection. Yep. Screwed over by my tech. Again. See title of post.

EXTREMELY HAPPY FACE :)))))

Well, after a long, vigorous time of resource-gathering and preparation, I am now ready and fully capable of producing machinima. First, I'd like to release my short/prequel production called Vanguard: Insurrection, which fleshes out a bit of the backstory of one of the major characters.

Here a synopsis: It's 2525. Epsilon Indi System. The ten-year long OPERATION: Trebuchet is approaching its final days. A UNSC dropship comes to rest above a drill platform on the ocean of Harvest's northern hemisphere. A squad of marines on full ODST rig prepare for a difficult mission in the drop bay. They drop onto the platform to quell an Insurrectionist presence on the drill pad. After a few rough scrapes, they run into an enemy more frightening and powerful than any other.

There you go. I hope that its worth the while.

Steady production=good times

Well, I've been working my ass off on Vanguard while keeping other things in check. Again, I thank all that have responded to my request for body actors. I will need you all soon for my teaser short that I WILL release on November 7th. It will be a short that will explore the backstory of one of the story's most pivotal characters, that takes place during Operation: TREBUCHET and is set approximately 25 years before the events of VANGUARD, the feature. It will be titled VANGUARD: Insurrection. This short film is to get the feel of my hardware and software while telling its own part of the story, instead of some bullshit trailer.
Yep. Got big plans.

Lot of stuff to do

Back again.

Well, I've brought my last profile online and debugged it. Now, I have much to do. finalize the script and sets, familiarize actors with sets, collect music, and deal with the idiots that I run into in everyday life. I plan to work on filming through October to reach a December release date.
Hopefully I'll reach It.

Wish me luck.

Sad face. :(

Damn. my solution for the profile glitch did'nt work. Damn. I solo'd the missions on legendary and it still glitched. It happened quicker than usual, though. Right when I signed into the profile no more than 30 min. afterwards did it glitch again. I'm going to Bungie about this. It's either that, or that profile's pretty much screwed. Lucky me.

Happy Face! :D

After a good podcast, recent debugging of my stuff, and the start of filming, things are going pretty well lately. That was the first podcast where we were'nt failed by crippling technical difficulties. LOL. In other words, IT KICKED ASS. We had the most viewers EVER in our CMNeir re-interview, and we got an amazing wallpaper courtesy of ZZombie13 and the 405th.com.
Next time, we interview Bryan Simon, the guy that sings all of those halo songs that Zoxin decided to loop on the pre-podcast thing.
Filming began for my film this week, and I've assembled a pretty decent group of body actors for the film's big battle scenes. I just hope their as cooperative as I need them to be.
As for the glitched profile, I might have a solution that is probably pretty difficult and possibly risky, but it just might work out for the better. It's email has been debugged, so that should'nt be as much of a problem. Only time will tell.
By the way, Deaths4ngel and CMNeir, I was glad to help out on the movies and stuff, and If either of you need help, I'll be glad to lend a hand.
Later.

Hey.

In other news, Zoxin It up! episode 4 is starting on Friday August 21st and continuing on Saturday, the 22nd. Its on livestream.com. This is goin to be fun.

Screwey systems, Back on live

Hi.

Well, my system has gotten no less annoying, but at least I can get on Xbox LIVE again, but with INSURMOUNTABLE LAAAAAAG. Caps lock FTW. Anyway, I've been trying to get my profile pics and logos together, with no luck. Piece of crap would'nt let me convert a few pictures on Bungie.net to jpeg or whatever. Sad face. :(
Anyway, that's it. I'll try to link this to the clan site ASAP.
I'm outta here. Got work to do.

Bye.

Update, System malfunction

Bill here.

I haven't posted much lately, since little has gone on lately, until now.
Turns out that for some reason, I've been having trouble connecting to Xbox LIVE.
BIG problem, since I just activated a filming profile. 1 month to do what I need to do.
So yeah. Screwed over again.
In lighter news, I have the script completed for the first act of the movie, and the second act's script is about half done. Hope people like it.

So that's about it.

See Ya.

The Blog

Hi. As you may know, I have been working on a machinima entitled "Vanguard", and as such, seen the need for a productions blog. So here it is. Follow the blog to keep up with the machinima and other shit. So yeah.

See Ya.
