1, ah, ah, ah, smeeze

Would you like smeeze with that?

Sounds like you are downstream without a paddle, or a canoe for that matter. Here is what I would suggest doing instead: 1. Find Machinima sites that are current and looking for voice actors, editors, script writers/editors, etc. Find and read scripts. Go and watch the best Machinimas out there (Rise of the Spartans by Arbiter617 is one of the best). Doing this will make sure that you are part of the community and see how things run. You can see different ways of getting Machinimas off the ground, and those that are being made. Study the best ones. 2. Create ideas for Machinimas that are different (and I mean decently different) from others. Make sure your ideas are not too generic, or way too far out there so that it is impossible to do in Halo. Expand your best ideas into mock plotlines and create a few draft scripts fro certain scenes. Have the scenes sketched out, possible map locations (ie Adrift top blue Hallway), and have ideas of where the cameras would focus on. This is not your key to fame, but your key to getting involved in a larger Machinima or being a part of a Machinima team. Your need to show that your are creative and are able to visualize an overarching plot, and then work on the small details. But make those details count, they are what separates the good from the okay. 3. Now take a deep breath, because your work will get trashed on by others; I guarantee it. This is to be expected. Notice how I haven't told your to share your works yet, this is key. 4. You volunteer on projects, just helping out with small things at first (small voice role, background/minor body actor once you get live, minor script reviewer, etc). Show that you can do those well on a larger project, and you will get invited back for more things. After you find a good group, then you can start to share your ideas. You will of course have refined many of them, and generated more on your current project. If working with others, don't try to force or suggest too drastic of a change, unless you can list and explain your reasons for it. 5. As time goes on you can make a name for yourself and others you work with/for and make a decent if not top notch Machinima. Over time your will get Gold, get proper recording equipment, etc. 6. ? 7. Profit

You play Total War Rome 2? I did not know that.

smeeze and thank you

smeeze, So guys, let me remind you, only I can be a part of getting to 100, and my co conspirator the first time around.

Thanks Red for the heads up, I'll watch out for them.

I wouldn't consider this an update, but more of common sense and well, already a rule. But thanks for the reminder Mr. President Moderator. EDIT: Might I suggest linking the rules for those too lazy to find the rules and read them. To make sure that people can't claim they could not find them. Link: http://www.343industries.org/rules Where to find: Scroll to the bottom of the page, on the Right, in White, right next to "Privacy Policy."

Alright I have not been on this for a while. Bnus is now up followed by Shadowfiend216.

Can honestly say that yes, I went through a similar growth in my forging abilities over the years. Practice, pointers, and perseverance are needed for the true forging powers to unravel.

Welcome to the forums! As a fellow forger I invite you to join the Community's Teleforge project, which can be found in the same forum as this thread. I am currently on my phone, and therefore cannot give you a link rich now. It is the closest thing the forums have to a Forge team. Although I am sure you can find more than a few members to join you from time to time to share maps and forge. Stay awhile and stay forging.
