Machininininima!

[Vicious Horizon]

Hey, I know about the brainstorming thread, but the Machinima I propose to you guys is different from that. I bring you (Title in progress)

A dark, dark piece of Hell..

Basically, It's a horror machinima based around the HL2 universe, filmed in GMOD, I've got Gmod 9 so it's nothing complicated, I just thought I'd check to see who's interested in voice/acting in it :)

Episode 1.
Desertion. Desertion. Desertion.

*3 Guys come along into the GM_Construct building in jeeps or a home-made truck*

1- I'm not so sure about this guys..
2- Look, we go in, we go out and then we get our money. Easy.
3- Ey, Amigo. Vamos?
2- Vamos.

*The walk into the dark room, 1 lagging behind a little*
*The dark room is fully lit with some computers etc. They walk in all the way*
*Noise from around the corner, deep breathing.*

2- What was tha-

*Lights out with the classic /Kudum\ sound, a scream/screech sound comes*
*One light comes back on, it's strobing around the room light someone's hit it, the 3 people start shooting around*
*3 Fast Zombies, 2 Normal Zombies, 1 Host/Poison Zombie*

3- Que Cono!?

*2 Dies, 1 and 3 leg it, 1 dies, 3 gets out into the light and a fast zombie gets him, camera out.*

(Outside)
4- Ok, three of our comrades registered in here, but they didn't report coming out. Though Paulo, one of the guys, called in from one of the towerblocks, he should meet us soon.

*3 (Paulo) comes along with blood all over his body.*

3- Vamos!

Haha, that sounds awesome!

You didn't have to delete the sig VH ;).

into the GM_Construct building

NO. NO. NO. You do not use Gm_Construct for filming!!! ever!!!! What were you thinking??!! Do you want the film to look cheap??!!!!

Now that's out of the way, I think we should do this idea after the other film we're gonna make, since that's been planned a lot more and I've already started drawing up the storyboard. Good idea anyway.

[Vicious Horizon]

Yeah, this after.
Dw about it looking cheap Chaz, i'm joing to completely paint the whole f***ing building so It looks completely different. If there's another map which has a dark room with a corner into it with a doorway so I can put a blast-door there in the next episode feel free to suggest it.

(I have got other episodes.)

Btw, For some reason, I've d/led 9.0.4 but i still cant connect to any servers :S It says i have the wrong version and to restart the game

[Chazlene]

Using gm_construct for the dark, black and white rooms is fine, but never, ever use the outdoors for a serious film.

[Vicious Horizon]

I'm just using that building, nothing else, the outside means outside the dark room.

Btw, for some reason I have no Gmod 9 folder in the X:/Program~/Steam/SteamApps/Vancepuppet/ folder, only in the /steamapps/sourcemods

[Chazlene]

That's where it should be, since Gmod9 is a mod of the source engine. It appears in the folder with your steam name if you get Gmod10, since that counts as a game rather than a mod.

[VoX]

Just downloaded Gmod9 so I'm up for some acting :D.

[Vicious Horizon]

Well, I've just taken some shots from the pilot ragdoll version, basically from episode 2 were number 7 sees "The guy in the blue suit" (Guess who)

Want me to upload?

Btw, how do I install maps then? I did install some maps but they dont seem to agree with the game as they don't show up :S

There are others, but they are the best imo.

Episode 2 (For good measure)

*7 is fitting blast door on the entrance*
7- Hey, Barney, It's good to go.
4- Alright, Good. Everyone form up behind Tim(7)
7- I'll take point.. Paulo, Shotgun!
*3 throws shotgun over*
*Tim walks in, looks around from 2nd doorway*
7- Looks fine from here..
*7 walks in and looks around the corner. Freezes!*
7- It's.. It's him! It's the guy in the dreams! The guy in the blue suit!
*Camera flashes to Gman's back (close)
*Camera goes back and sees 7 holding pistol to his own head*
7- Hun.. Barney(quiet) BARNEY! HELP!
*Barney rushes in, blast door slams, lighting sequence again*
*Only 2 fast zombies this time, others the same*
4- S**t!
*4, 7 push blast door open, it slams shut.*
4- What were they!?
7- No ide-
*Paulo explodes, a fast zombie comes out of his gibs*
7- Ah!! Crap!
*Blackout.. caption: 1 hour later*
*7 sitting against a wall, 2 fast zombie corpses next to him.*
7- All of them, every one! Oh, God....
*Camera flashes to doorway, blastdoor on floor, bloodstained, Gman standing there.*
