Halo Reach Forges (Ep. 3)

It's finally up!

Be sure to check it out HERE.

There may be a slight delay on episode 4 due to Youtube's new policies on foul language (Don't worry, nothing major, there's just one more word we can't use anymore).

I'll be editing and sending in episode 5 tonight, and we're gonna film episode 6 on Saturday.

Halo Reach Forges (Ep. 2) "Brute Chieftain"

Hey guys,

Episode 2 was released yesterday, you can view it here: HRF (Ep. 2)
Yes, it's of xSOGx Grim's Brute Chieftain. This was filmed far before the map got super popular, so we probably wont get that many views on it. But what the hell, it absolutely deserved a feature.

You'll be seeing a few more "less popular" maps (for now at least) coming up soon. With the weird assortment of my uploading schedule due to the mishap I had with Episode 2, I'm not exactly sure when Episode 3 will be released on youtube. But don't worry, you'll know.

Fixed

A couple of days ago I reuploaded the updated version of Episode 2, so you guys will finally be able to start seeing some more of our stuff just as soon as they upload it to youtube.

We've already uploaded all the way up to episode 4, and episode 5 has been shot, so we are ahead of schedule in terms of filming. Once everything gets sorted out, we hope to be releasing episodes bi-weekly.

IT'S OVER 100,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy crap, 100,000 views already on our first episode.

Well, if that map impressed you, you all will be blown away by our upcoming maps. Just as soon as I can get them posted...

These past few days I've been traveling, away from WCU, and away from my work. This was due to an opportunity that was presented to me in my field of work. The day I left, I was notified that I had made a mistake in the production of episode 2, so machinima could not post it yet. So yes, the severe delay in episodes has been due to that small mistake, I will be fixing it tonight when I finally return to WCU, but it should still be a few days before it's on youtube.

Thanks to everyone for supporting us in our new series! We can't wait to show you guys some of the AMAZING things we've been finding.

All is well

Filming's been going pretty smooth, this morning I finished editing episode 2 of HRF. Episode 1 should be viewable to our youtube audience within the week, and you'll probably see episode 2 by Wednesday.

I must say I am quite impressed with the forging community, there are a lot of unique maps out there that we really can't wait to show you guys.

Halo Reach Forges (Ep. 1) "*censored*"

Halo Reach Forges' first episode has been shot! And in HD!

Unfortunately I had to make a trip out of town this weekend, so I won't be able to upload the video until Sunday night at the earliest.

Chris Neir (CMNeir) made us a new intro to Halo Reach Forges, which looks very awesome. At the end of our "Traveling to Reach" video you'll see a snippet of it.

We're very excited to show off our first episode, we think you guys will really enjoy it. Until then, go make forges!

Cards, Money, Maps, and Skits

My new capture card arrived the other day. Unfortunately I need to purchase another piece of software to make it work to it's fullest level, this piece of software costing me about $80. Good thing though, is that we just received our payment from Machinima, so I should be able to cover it.

SO! Filming, we've been doing it.

As we always do when transitioning to another mainstream game, we've filmed an introduction to Halo: Reach. In this we'll have some skits about our transition into the new game, and a preview of what's to come on Halo Reach Forges.

Filming on a new capture card has been... Interesting. I've been using a demo version of some software to film, so it's actually been quite a hassle since it will only film 2 minutes at a time. Once I get the software I need, things will go smoother.

As for maps on Halo Reach, we've been finding some pretty amazing ones. We've even made one ourselves. Foolishly of us, we deleted someone's map to make a canvas because we were too lazy to start a new game, and made that map on it. As we quickly found out, Bungie fixed the whole "stealing maps" problem, and now when you make a map, your name is permanently marked on it. So though we deleted this map completely, his name is still on it.
Whatever, we'll still feature it.

I think everyone will enjoy HRF very much, the maps are quite amazing. I'm gonna try and finish up this intro skit today, and tonight we'll probably film our first episode of HRF.

Later guys,

-Cameron
