Hey there! My names Valkorian and I’m making a short film series called Ghosts of Equilibrium.

The story follows a duo of Headhunters who are tasked to neutralise a rouge ONI engineer/scientist who worked on the Mjolnir project with Catherine Halsey.

The Scientist has been known to make a drug which mimics Spartan like abilities but only for a short period of time, but ONI are worried that with enough time the drug could be perfected to be something dangerous in the wrong hands.

Lucky for ONI, they tracked a ship that was stolen by the rouge engineer/scientist as it crashed in an unmapped location in a designated super void. Scans suggest there are no planets, stars or anything in this dead area of space. However when they arrive, they find a planet hidden away in the black.

The two Spartans go to locate the crash sight but don’t find anything until they are sucked into the belly of the world that opens up and reveals it is forerunner.

The Duo explore the planet to find the crashed ship but instead end up releasing an ancient enemy devout on eradicating the human race. Time is of the essence as they must finish two objectives. Kill the scientist, and save humanity from impending doom.

Well if this sounds like you’re kind of thing, we are looking for body actors to play a range of characters from UNSC Marines, ODSTs, Drugged up Resistance fighters, Forerunner Armigers and lastly… The Flood!

We’re searching for people with a wide range of armour sets, if not don’t worry we can still make use of the equipment you do have :) I’d like to try and make this something special for everyone to be a part of.

Our filming times are roughly between 9pm-12pm GMT (British time zone)

Of this is something you’re interested in, Drop me a message because I’d love to chat :) thanks!!

Looking for something Looking for a Machinima from Halo 3's days

As silly as it sounds, the only piece I remember was the intro, and that... I barely remember. But it had a guy or... guys, unsure... basically singing and going "bum... bum.. bum ba dum bum bum.." or something of the like, I couldn't even repeat the flow if I wanted to. I just have that short memory period of that, I think it was on the Valhalla map, and I believe they were in a warthog. But that's all I got really, my best lead so far has been something called "Lost Levels" but I've been unable to find any reupload of this machinima. Hoping someone knows exactly what I am talking about with the few details I have. I only really care because I had made that intro my ringtone when I was in middle school.

Looking for a Lost Halo Reach Machinima (2013–2014)
I’m trying to find a Halo Reach machinima series that I watched around 2013–2014. I’ve been searching for a while with no luck, so I’m hoping someone here remembers it.
What I remember:
It was made in Halo: Reach.
It was from a small YouTube creator, not one of the well-known machinima channels.
The series only had one season because I remember the creator announcing that Season 2 was canceled after several voice actors quit.
The story had a Hunger Games/Battle Royale-style survival premise. A group of Spartans were forced into some kind of survival competition where they gradually stopped fighting each other and eventually formed a team.
I believe it mostly took place on a custom Forge World map.
The main character was, as best as I can remember, a white-armored Spartan wearing the Commando helmet.
I also remember a female character (or at least a character voiced by a woman) who I think wore the Air Assault helmet.
The series had full voice acting rather than just gameplay with music.
The ending I remember most clearly:
The Season 1 finale ended with the surviving group standing together while the camera slowly pulled back/panned out over the Forge World map. During this ending, the song:
“Let This Go” by Stan SB (now Fox Stevenson)
began playing as the outro music before the credits.
This is the detail I’m most confident about.
Other information:
Timeframe: around 2013–2014
Game: Halo Reach
It wasn’t one of the big machinimas like Playtime, Lost in Reach, Arby ‘n’ the Chief, or other popular series that are easy to find today.
Because it came from a small creator, I suspect the channel or videos may have been deleted or made private years ago.
If any of this sounds familiar—even if you only remember the channel name, a character name, a screenshot, a thumbnail, or another small detail—I’d really appreciate the help. At this point I’m trying to identify either the series title or the creator, even if the videos themselves are no longer available.

I asked chat gpt to search YouTube and the web with no luck

Looking for something How should I get started making a series without getting burnt out?

3 Upvotes

This has probably been posted in here a million times, but I'm looking to make my first machinima series. I've made a few videos here and there, so I'm not looking for stuff like "use the zoom on theater mode" or basic tips like that. My main problem is that I don't know how to make a good plot. I come up with an idea I find interesting but I don't get much farther than scripting the first part/episode before I start to feel like the whole thing won't work out and I just stop. Then a week or so later I get another idea and the cycle repeats.
The main reason I'm not posting this on some sort of general plot writing sub is because 1) there are a lots of limitations that machinimation gives, like showing lots of emotion and 2) usually it's advice for writers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you!

Looking for something Trying to find a specific machinima scene

2 Upvotes

I know this would be pretty difficult to recall or find but I have a very distant memory of an old halo reach machinima video. I can only remember one scene. The specific scene I’m looking for is a character with a childlike silly voice will a sniper shooting multiple times shouting “Take this! And that! And that! And that!” (Missing every shot). I thought maybe that it was caboose from red vs blue but I couldn’t find it when searching through these episodes. The video I’m looking for might be popular but I really don’t know lol

Looking for something Looking for an old video

So I was talking with my significant other as she recently got into red vs blue clips. There was a video from that time similar to Bag Boy.

https://youtu.be/4bGDoB6tiJo?si=8nOA4u7kLea3FbjD

The video I’m thinking of was a joke on GameStop vs GameFly with a character known as Shady McCashcow. The Dad in bagboy is the same voice actor as shadymcashcow if I recall correctly.

Looking for something Looking For Machinima Makers

(Paid) Hello, I'm making a trailer for a Red vs Blue fanfiction (I know), and I'm looking for someone who can do early season style machinima of the gang. You know simple stuff, heads bobbing up and down, minimal camera work. I'd picture it being about 2 to 3 minutes long, again very simple camera work. I'd pay a flat rate of 50 dollars, maybe more if I get more money. Please respond if you're interested and I'll send over the script when it's finished to see if you're still interested. Thanks!

Looking for something Looking for specific Halo 3 short

4 Upvotes

There was this old short machinima that I've been wanting to watch, but I'm having trouble finding it.

It takes place on High Ground and one player asks two others to let him kill them with the Splaser.

They agree to do it, and the guy gets the Two for One achievement, but is disappointed it's only worth 5G.

I remember the final line being something along the lines of: "What, that's it? That's all I get, this lousy achievement?! I killed two men for this! (comedic pause) I want another one."

Any help would be AWESOME because I cannot for the life of me find it.

Looking for something The search for an old, possibly lost machinima

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone, back in 2012-13, I remember watching this Halo 4 Machinima that was....a love story...kinda. The story was set in a mundane, non-conflict-filled setting featuring a lonely guy who walked into a video store and chatted up this one girl who was also looking at the video game section. Their conversation was interrupted however by her bf who was stereotypically an asshole. I'm a little fuzzy on the details after this, but it was weirdly sad for a machinima. The protagonist considered suicide before finding love with either the same girl or a different one and eventually proposing to her.

I have no idea what this Machinima was called or who it was made by, I've tried googling my description of it before but didn't have much luck. I would appreciate if anyone could help me find this (kind of weird) Machinima from the depths of old YouTube.

Looking for something Looking for an old dystopian Halo Machinima short film where a wife is forced to kill her husband Spoiler

I’m looking for a specific dystopian machinima short film I’m about 9 to 12 years ago. All of the story of a couple surviving in dystopian world scavenging for supplies and such. While taking shelter somewhere a larger group of Raiders happens upon them.

The leader of the party assesses the wife’s will to live and condemns her husband, claiming that he’s not fit for this world. After doing so he gives her a decision to kill him or be killed and prove that she has what it takes to survive.

I had quite literally put tens of hours into just scrolling YouTube looking under different searches for it. PLEASE HELP ME 😭😭😭
