WT 6

2009-08-23T20:09:00.002-04:00

Well, HERE is Episode 6 of Warthog Training Titled "The Artifact".

Kinda a slow episode, but is going to set up for an.....explosive seventh. hehehe

Good News and BAd news

2009-08-17T18:20:00.003-04:00

Ok, So I have a little good and bad news.

Good news, Warthog Training Episode 6 is finished and will be up on saturday. The Episode is a little slower than the others, but is setting up the story to be awesome in the next few episodes.

Bad news, I have to put Payload on hold for a little bit, The reason being, my computer sucks and is running out of HDD space. The way I was recording just wasnt doing it, the visuals were terrible since I had to lower my settings as well as no antialiasing, as well as being at dxlevl 8. So this wouldnt bother me too much, but the recording method I was using was hogging Hardrive space, meaning 1 shot about 10 seconds long was 1gb in size. So ya, not enough room left to do it.

I will be getting my new computer by the end of the month, maybe sooner, so its not that long, plus it gives mrdougan a little break from faceposing.

Also, will be doing some random gmod stuff and such since I got it working.

peace

yeee

2009-08-15T12:50:00.000-04:00

made a new video here

Aftermath

2009-07-18T20:04:00.002-04:00

Hey Everyone,

Episode 1 of Payload is out, and I have to say I am very happy with the feedback. The episode itself was a bit choppy courtesy of my computer, but I am just happy its out.

Now this brings me to episode 2, mrdougan is hard at work on the vcd files(forgot to mention to tell him hes awesome because of the incredible job he did on epiosde 1). I have already finished a very good portion of the acting thanks to some helpful fans. So I have 2 more quick scenes to act out, and as soon as I get the vcds, I can capture those and edit it all together. This episode will own people.

I will try and update this blog alot more, as well as other sites.

peace

Episode 1

2009-07-17T16:29:00.002-04:00

Ok, so Payload Episode 1 is up on youtube here. Watch it and pass it around to everyone. I want this series to be huge. Special thanks again to mrdougan for the faceposing.

Episode 2 is under production, and its gonna own even more than episode 1.

so get ready, and remember to join my steam group if you want to help out filming.

New From TDG

2009-05-27T10:08:00.002-04:00

Friends over at TheDuoGroup just made an incredible trailer for Halo 3 ODST. It feature incredible sound design by hybrid two, awesome voice by adam behr, and incredible compositing by g.

Check it out.

A Long Detailed Post

2009-05-25T10:43:00.003-04:00

Ok, So I decided to put together a pretty long and semi detailed post telling you what is all happening right now. The reason I don't post here as often is because of my laziness and I use my twitter and facebook pages to give minor updates on what I am doing. So go check those out If you want up to the date status reports and such.

As for projects, Ill start with Warthog Training. Episode 5 is going to be the biggest and best episode yet. Since I was in illinois for the past few days, I was able to really work on the script, which means its longer and a few more hidden jokes in it. This episode will have several special effects that will also be pretty cool. Also, my friend mrdougan(Expert of all that is source) will be joining the voice cast and adding his faceposing talents with his Half Life 2 models including a Halo Civillian skin that he has been working for the past month or so. This will be something that really adds to the uniqueness of the show, plus everyone will have acess to the skin under a CC liscence after I release the episode. As for my other voices, stevie why, the voice of daz and smith, is having computer problems, which is preventing him from doing his voices. So he may hold up the episode until he finishes. Plus, Sniper2477, the voice of martin, is gone for a few months, so I had to improv on the voiceing situation. But dont worry, the happy juice will still be a pivitol role in the series, even if he cant scream it. So thats about it for Warthog Training, expect a longer than usual, and more interesting storyline. Should be interesting.

Since I have a few set backs, I may film and submit something before I finish episode 5 of WT. So it may either be a Farcry 2 machinima, cod4, or Halo 3 short. I have no Idea though, Its a big maybe.

Another big project that is going down is the collab project between me, and the Ro4ch from projectrooster. But we have also taken on a very pivitol 3d animator who is designing some models for us, you may know him as LemurGimmick. We have also brought on some very talented voices for the project, CK from Euphorian Filmers, Darknal from Dark creations, and MCQ22. Thats about all I want to release about the project, we are doing some super advanced things that hopefully turn out to make one of the best halo machinimas ever.

So thats about all I have for this super update, The parody contest is still runnning, so make your parodies of one of my shows for a chance to be on my friends list or something.

So ya, Peace.

WT 5 and FC2

2009-05-18T10:03:00.001-04:00

This leads me onto Zephyr which I can tell is gonna be annoying simply for the reason that I have a very vague idea of what I am doing with it. Should be interesting.

Community Game night should be soon, keep a look out for it.

So, a couple quick updates.

As far as machininmas, I have a halo short that should be up very soon which should leave people asking "what was that?". I am also putting the finishing touches on the second Episode of Warthog Training which I will submit as soon as I finish it. So I think I will start to put together a pilot Episode for Zephyr next while I figure out what kind of season 1 wrap up I should do for suppressor.

I am also putting together a Director Game night that will have me, NinjaAdventures, Sniper2477, and Ze Royal Viking. Be on a look out for an announcement video so you know how to enter.

I am also gonna try a contest in the near future, so stay tuned.

Ok, So for some reason the first Episode of Warthog Training isnt up yet, I dont know why, but It should be up in the next couple of days. Anyway, I have dropped everything else now and have began to create my short for the next Halo Community Live event. Im not sure of the date of the event, but I was informed that they are accepting submissions so I just decided to get it done now.
So Everything else will be temporarily stalled until I finish this.
Also, I plan to do a contest, so keep an eye on my channel for a video explaining everything.
Jordan

updates and so on

2009-02-26T12:39:00.002-05:00

Sorry I have not updated this as much as I used to, Im just busy.

Anyway, Warthog Training Episode 1 should be up very soon, like today or tommorow.

I have also been making episode 2 as I am waiting for stuff, To tell you the truth, I am kind of setting down everything else down while I get this series rolling in the right direction.
I also have to figure out some way to release Suppressor to machinima without having to completly redo the audio.

But In the future I have a couple plans for a COD4 and even a Gears 2 machinima short.

So stay tuned,

Jordan

stuff

2009-02-05T10:30:00.004-05:00

Ok, I am going to be releasing suppressor veeery soon. but first, I forgot to post the first episode of Sup Chief? here, so here it is If you haven't seen it already.

Sup Chief? - Webisode 1 - "Mister Chief" from TheDuoGroup on Vimeo.

The Next Episode

2009-02-02T18:59:00.002-05:00

Ok, Suppressor Episode 7 is almost completed, I have almost all the voices and I am putting all the footage together. So expect it to be up sometime later this week. It is kinda going to be an episode showing where everyone is. the episode after that will be more explanitory and stuff.
Hope people enjoy it.

Another Suppressor Teaser

2009-01-30T23:05:00.001-05:00

Here is another trailer for suppressor season 2 that I put together. Hope you enjoy it until I can finish the first episode of season 2.
Here it is

Suppressor Fun

2009-01-27T10:07:00.002-05:00

Well, Since suppressor is taking a bit longer to plan than I originally thought(mrdougan's computer difficulties, My overall Laziness, Stevie why with no internet...The list could go on), I have decided to do another short of some sort. But the short is not important, Suppressor Is gonna have some incredible plot twists and some sweet special effects this season. I really hope everyone will enjoy it. So now you know to expect a short before the next episode of suppressor, I don't have any Idea whats it gonna be about, or what game engine.

ohhhhh welll,

Zephyr News

2009-01-23T18:33:00.002-05:00

Ok, I just released the second trailer for zephyr which you can view here.

Why is it just a trailer instead of the pilot? Well, I decided that If I am going to do a series for cod4 right, I need some time to sort it all out. This way, by march I will be done with Suppressor and I will be free to take my time to do zephyr right.

Suppressor is now underway.

Hope you understand,

Jordan

New Idea

2009-01-19T17:07:00.002-05:00

Welllll, I have been doing alot lately. I have decided to postpone zephyr for about a week and since Ive been doing a ton of Halo 3, I will do something in cod 4. It will be either SNGD 5 or something similar until I can finish the zephyr pilot. I think you get it though. so as far as releases it goes as follows:

1.Cod4 Comedy short

2.Zephyr Pilot

3.Suppressor Season 2 Episode 1

4.Warthog Training Pilot

I am also messing around with adobe after effects, which is a blast, So expect to see some effects in these episodes.

And also, remember to make a twitter account and follow me there for frequent updates.

Twitter account

stuff

2009-01-17T11:15:00.002-05:00

ok, right now Im making the pilot Episode for Zephyr. Expect it to be about 7 minutes or so.

I am also writing the script for the second season of Suppressor, which I am going to be using some special effects and such just to try out a new program. After all of this is released, expect Warthog training.

Also, I have started up a Twitter page that I will update pretty frequently(More than this blog).

This is the link to my page RIGHT HERE.

I made it to follow TheDuoGroup's Twitter, so I decided might as well use it too.

Ok, thats about it.

Ok, I have decided to just upload my halo 3 short since its done. I will be doing the pilot episode for Zephyr instead of that COD4 short I promised. So I think I should have that up by next week, And after that, it will be time to start up Suppressor Season 2. I better not get any messages asking me to do a cod4 movie, because Its coming, and Im taking my time so It comes out awesome.

Thanks for your patience cod4 fans.

quick update

2009-01-12T11:36:00.003-05:00

Ok, here is a quick snapshot of my current Halo 3 short Im putting together. Im hiring someone to do the voice over for it so It should turn out pretty awesome. Im not going to release this until I do a cod4 short just to be fair to all the COD4 fans because Ive been doing alot of Halo recently. Thats it for now. Ohh, I also have a machinima tutorial thing I will release after the cod4 and halo shorts are released.

New stuff

2009-01-09T11:25:00.002-05:00

As most people have seen, The last ever episode of inside Spartacus is up.

ANyway, I have a couple things planned before I start making series. First off, I am about to release the suppressor Season 2 teaser, the bad part is, Im delaying the season for another 3 weeks or so Until season 1 can be released. I also have a short Machinima tips video that alot of people are going to find helpful for making their own machinimas. I will release that a couple days after the teaser for season 2. And, I am also making a Halo 3 short that I am investing alot of time(money) into, So you guys better enjoy it. Warthog training will begin shortly and will be next in line after all I have mentioned will be released. Zephyr will start sometime in febuary.

Any questions just ask.

Note

2009-01-03T18:47:00.002-05:00

Hey, In case you are wondering, I removed all the videos on my channel which have copyrighted material in them. Why? I just want to avoid any future conflicts. I will redo audio on videos I think should be back up there and eventually reupload them. I also audio swapped a couple of the videos so They could stay up. If you have any questions, just send me a message.

Recap of 2008 and The Plan for 2009

2009-01-01T16:48:00.005-05:00

Well, Its been a very good year. I started making machinima when I got my capture card on April 18th 2008. I have to admit that I never saw myself getting this far as a director. I really think that this is something I will continue with for a while and maybe even Go to film school and see where I go from there. I have really enjoyed making movies for everyone, and hope that you continue to support me. Happy New Year!!

NOW for 2009: I have so much planned that I am almost overwhelmed with ideas. But let me take this one at a time, Firts of all, Some of my goals for this year are to get some more recognition for all my machinimas, Improve as a Director/Editor, and even get more advanced equiptment to make my movies more impressive. Second of all, I need to sort out what Im going to do with Suppressor. Many of you know that I have arranged with Gear(http://www.youtube.com/fbwalshyftw) to release all of season 1 of suppressor on his youtube channel to get a wider audience watching it. As soon as he finishes releasing them, I will Post the Suppressor Season 2 teaser and start Season 2. He will also be posting these on his channel in accordance to when I post them. Which means they will be released at the same time so I dont have to make the videos private until he posts them like I had to do with season 1. This may be the last season for suppressor, but thats not final.
And on the same subject of halo, I have still Planned to make Warthog Training, which will give me a chance to have some fun with making a comedy and such. This series will be released rather sparsley comapared to my other series because It will be a number 2 priority. I may also throw in a couple Halo shorts and such If I feel like it.

And now For COD4.
I have so many series planned that I have been forced to cancel Robot Donkey which will be replaced by random comedy shorts that I feel like doing. I also plan to do random episodes of Search N Get Destroyed which I hope will continue for a while. I also have to plan out a season of Zephyr which will be an incredibly intensive show consiidering what I have to do to make it look like its not something that I rushed through. So dont expect it to be made that often, I think that I may delay it until I get into season 2 of suppressor. And Like halo, I may do random comedy and Action shorts along the way.

Another announcement is that If you havnt already noticed, I have been royalty free music lately to avoid any copyright conflicts. In the end I may even remove all of my videos that contain copyright issues and apply for a youtube partnership. I may take them down, and redo the audio so I can put it back up. I will see if I feel like it.
One last thing, I plan to do Commentary for Suppressor that I will post on my secondary youtube account http://www.youtube.com/spartacus280 If you have any requests for commentary, send me a message and ill do it.

Well, We will see what happens this year.

2008-12-21T18:22:00.003-05:00

Well, as the holidays come close, production is slowing down a little bit. I am still trying to release something before christmas though. I am saying right now though that the early months of 09 are going to be crazy with everything that I have planned, so I may up delaying a series for a while. I will probably end up holding a vote later on or something. Anyway, I also want to mention that I was invited to Halo Community Live as a special guest by MCQ22. Check out the event details here http://www.halobusters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1118

Anyway, I only need about 50 some more Subscribers to get to 1000 before new years. So please tell your friends so stevie why and hershmek will do something crazy.

I think that is about it, until next time. Happy Holidays and such.

Holidays

2008-12-14T13:28:00.003-05:00

Well, with the Holidays Approaching, production might slow down a bit, but that doesnt mean I dont have a few projects already done. Anyway, I just posted that forum promotion machinima which included stevie and shafty being chroma keyed into COD4. Im too lazy to post the link at the moment, but its on my channel if you want to see it.
On another note, you will see proof that zephyr(one of my cod4 shorts), was on the front page of machinima.com's youtube channel.
Anyway, Thats about it, Be expecting another COD4 video shortly and the suppressor season 2 teaser is almost finished too.

Cheers

2008-12-12T17:09:00.005-05:00

Well, our friends over at the Duo group jsut realeased a brand new short with incredible editing. You may notice that some of the spartans seemed to be incredibly smooth and that some of those rockets were shot so buetiful and presice. Thats because I had 4 controllers hooked up to my xbox to help them out. Let me just say that those shots with the vehicles moving forward were harder than they looked.(It was the sand. Well here it is:

Cool project update

2008-12-09T17:27:00.002-05:00

So my Halo 3 short that I told everyone about is in the very final stages of production. Meaning it might be up by tommorow or even tonight, Im not sure yet, im just nit picking at every little detail I can. You wont be dissapointed.
I beleive that is it for now.

Cool New Project Announced

2008-12-07T17:58:00.002-05:00

Ok, So I have started work on a new Halo 3 short Machinima. Expect it to be action packed with special effects that Ive never done before using a new program. It should be very interesting. It might take a while, but it will be worth it. And for cod4, If you didnt already know, I am going to make a Robot Donkey/SNGD Christmas special starring all of your favorite stars(I call them that to make them feel special). Well, thats about it for now.

Jordan

Ok, Lots to say

2008-12-04T15:32:00.003-05:00

Ok,This is gonna be intresting. Ok, First off, I need to explain stuff about the COD4 Series and everything else thats caught my attention. The COD4 Series that I am planning, Is gonna be a stab at something that has not been done in COD4. I am gonna make sure it has a good plot and that way I will be happier with it. This may mean that It will be produced sparingly, but episodes will average around 10 minutes. As some may have guessed, Last thought was really the first teaser for it, but I never really had a solid story Idea for a series until now. This will however fall around the same time as suppressor starts coming out, So I will trade off on them to make sure my COD4 and Halo Fans are satisfied. I do not plan to do anything major until after the new year, but I will be releasing Halo and COD4 Shorts along the way. These will keep everybody entertained until I start off for the new year. Anyway, Another thing I Would like to say is that I will be Making a Christmas Special that will be filmed in COD4 with all the clan members. This will include skits and other comedy things, but I have no idea what might happen during filming. Ok, one more thing before I go, TheDuoGroup just released a trailer for their new series, its gonna be good, check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO-csd9iLzM

New COD4 Series Announced

2008-12-02T18:15:00.001-05:00

Well, Here is my trailer teaser thing for a new Cod4 drama series that I will create in the near future. I will post more on the subject when I get a chance.

Please watch this in high quality

SNGD 4

2008-12-01T20:41:00.002-05:00

Search N Get Destroyed Episode 4 is now uploaded. Expect another COD4 movie soon.

The Plan

2008-11-30T12:45:00.002-05:00

Well, Im kinda in that place between everything with nothing to do. I have tried several times to make a COD Machinima all resulting in a failure to gather my friends together. So, Im gonna make a push and I promise you that my next release will be a COD4 machinima. Ive also Decided to Do directors commentary on all the suppressor series to be released at a later date before I start season 2. Once Again for those who missed it, I set Season 1 to private because FBwalshyFTW is hosting them on his youtube channel. I have alot of plans for the begginng of next year which will be big, In addition to starting Suppressor Season 2, I will be making Warthog Training. I have planned out a pilot Episode which will be released whenever I find a opportunity to do so. And There is also a trailer for Suppressor Which will be released soon that Is looking really awesome so far. Before I got, I would Like to ask everyone to share my channel and see If I can get to 1000 Subscribers by the end of the year. Why? Because Stevie Why said he would do something crazy If I got to that mark. I could care less if I got that many though because I just Enjoy Making the Machinima. You dont have to believe me, no one is forcing you.

Well Cya,

Jordan

Welllll

2008-11-24T22:52:00.002-05:00

Ok, I finally had it, That one strike of insperation. I Just finished a trailer for a comedy series for halo. I hope you like it. Ohh and BTW I will be making a big COD project soon.

ATTENTION

2008-11-22T09:45:00.002-05:00

Ok, This is to my subscribers that wants to know where the suppressor series has gone. I set all the episodes to private so that they can be posted on this channel http://www.youtube.com/fbwalshyftw

I will make them public again after he posts them accordingly, so they arnt gone forrever.
This will get some exposure to Suppressor and make season 2 all the better.
Also, I plan to release a new COD4 Short if I can just get all my friends off of COD5 and back to COD4.

Jordan

Mentioned

2008-11-18T21:42:00.003-05:00

Hey, look who was mentioned on the Machinima.com Halo Blog. I know its spelled wrong but hey. It was because I kept posting comments for the caption pictures phreak posts. I reccomend you check it out.

UPDATES CLARIFIED BECAUSE OF SHAFTY

2008-11-15T18:50:00.003-05:00

ok, since my friend shafty was complaining, I decided to clarify (as much as I can without spoiling a surprise) what machinimas that I am working on. First of all, I am working on a Suppressor Season 2 trailer that I hope can be a video that everyone sends around to every one they know to get suppressor some more viewers as a whole. I think the word Im looking for is Viral. Anyway, It is finished and just needs to be scored. Second, I am finishing up a COD4 Short/Trailer/Thing that might lead to an action series, even I dont know where it will lead. I am also working on a Halo Comedy that should make some people laugh, but I really dont want to give any more details so it doesnt spoil the surprise. I am also trying to make a short Infomercial in COD4 that should be a riot. Ok now that I have that stuff cleared up for shafty, I would like to announce that I may be launching a forum that will let all of the people that watch my machinima to discuss.......uhhh....stuff i think. Anyway, get your hopes up. One more thing before I go, I have another account on youtube that I will be posting Gameplay footage on of me and my friends, you dont have to subcribe, just check it out so you can see what its like to play on live with me and my friends. I have the link right here: http://www.youtube.com/spartacus280 Ok, thats about it, I hope shafty doesnt complain again or I quit.

Stuff

2008-11-11T16:36:00.002-05:00

Well, I havent made a movie in like a week, but that doesnt mean Im not working on one. I am actually working on several, one is a short COD4 movie that is taking a bit longer than I anticipated, then there is a Halo Comedy thing Im doing that is in the begining stages of production. And last but not least, I am going to make a trailer for Suppressor Season 2 that should be coming out soon even though I dont plan to start back up again for a while. Gears of War 2 Is another reason that my machinimas are slowing up, Its an absolutly incredible game that you should atleast rent if you are too cheap to buy it. I am actually gonna post a movie of me and my friend slayer playing in horde mode which is an absolut blast. Welllll I believe I have made enough excuses for now. Bye
