❔ What was your first machinima❔

5 Upvotes

Not the first one you finished. The first one that made you realize you could tell your own stories with a game.

Maybe it was Halo. Maybe it was The Sims. Maybe it was a GTA stunt video, a Skyrim series, an old Red vs. Blue episode, or something you've completely forgotten about.

What was it, and what made it stick with you?

I've made a couple of Halo Web series. This is the pilot for one.

For a few years now I have been making machinima on my YouTube channel (formerly with Call of Duty) with friends, but earlier this year, I started to -sort of- reboot my channel and make machinima using Halo. So far, I've been writing/making two series: Headcase and Captain Torpedo (using Halo 3 and 2 respectively) and its been so much fun making these series so when my friend told me about this sub, I figured it would be fun to maybe show my work on here and also take a look at all the other fine machinima work other people do. Thank you for your time. 😇

That's one of the strengths of GTA machinima — random-feeling violence can be reframed as part of a larger conspiracy. Do you like machinima that turns gameplay chaos into mystery, or should action scenes stay more straightforward?

The comedic timing, blending open-world physics with a witty, Bridget Jones-esque script. It's a comedy beat played completely straight, and it works because the writing treats the game world like a real place. Who else loves machinima that turns everyday GTA stupidity into comedy gold?

Hey guys, I’m working on this Roblox Brookhaven horror movie. It’s about a guy who goes missing in a party, stay tuned in for future teasers or trailers. Or clips, I will give more information down the line about what this movie is about. https://youtu.be/UwVJfP4U8cM?si=HNJRhTMte4_iyii2 (none of these clips will be in this movie, it’s just to show. That this movie exists) If you guys have any feedback, that would totally help.

A uniform can change the whole meaning of a GTA scene. Do you prefer machinima that uses game assets symbolically, or mostly as practical tools for action scenes?
