Machinima, help wanted.

[6Studios]

Hello everyone.

 

I am currently looking for members to assist me in production of a Skyrim Machinima.

 

Who am I?

I am Paul, Lead of this project. Head writer, but also hope to have knowledge in all other areas.

My Skype is:

paulbbm6

Email:

[email protected]

My experience:

My “writer” friends and I have been screwing around since sophomore year in high school. Writing Skits, short stories, book ideas, full fledge movies (just 2 but still) hell even a song or two. We like to be creative, but we aren’t professional, lots of knowledge of writing, writing techniques, and etc, “experienced” but not professional.

 

What is the Machinima?

To not give too much away but still give everyone enough info to see if they want to get involved here it goes.

 

Title

Helm Hold

 

Genre

Action-adventure, Comedy.

 

It is a story based sitcom. Meaning each episode will have its conflicts and premises/ situations that will be resolved in the episode, but they will also have a back story (mainly the one following the main character: Lund) that develops and unfolds throughout the series.

Pilot Storyline, Series premise.

Orphaned as a child, Lund didn’t know what his life would become once he had turned 16 and left his orphanage to face the open world. It’s now 8 years later, and his unambitious, lazy, and unskilled habits haven’t caused his life to turn out to great. He has finally reached the end of not being happy and wants a change in his life. When such an opportunity is presented to him, he learns that his father, who lives in a small town in Skyrim, has recently passed away. Lund and his best and only friend Shrum must travel to Helm Hold to find out who his father is, why he was orphaned, and if he can find purpose in his life.

 

Main characters

 

• Lund

-The Protagonist, Nord. Lund transitions over time from lazy, unambitious, and unskilled, into energetic, ambitious, and slightly more skilled. With a new lease on life, and not wanting to waste it, he rushes into situations due to his eagerness. Trusting, Kind hearted and foolish.

 

• Shrum

-Best friend of Protagonist, Nord. Shrum had wanted to be a great warrior his whole life, but was always used as support for other adventurers. A healer, a buffer, a lookout; Shrum finally gets to be the lead warrior in skyrim. He is logical, experienced, and methodical.

 

• Daric

-An Imperial, pretty much enough said... Without giving away a spoilers of the script, I will get to just who he is; stuck up, greedy, a womanizer, arrogant, stubborn, and rude.

 

• Galmir

-Bosmer, showing up only in the last parts of the pilot. Galmir acts before he thinks. He is clumsy, friendly, has a short attention span, illogical, and eager.

 

Who do I need?

 

Writers - So you want to be a writer, you say? Good, I am looking for people who are passionate about writing. I don’t really care about what your background is in writing, but serious entries only please (look to my “experience” to know what I mean) I would like to see some of your work to see if your style and skill is what I want/need for this project. But even a very well detailed “about you” should give me a good enough idea.

 

Papyrus scripter - Have skill in the creation kit? Well you can either (or both) work the Papyrus scripting to give the machinima it’s more visual and action based elements or work level design. Creating the environments needed to give a rich and styled look, not some half ass three clay pots in the corner of the room and a random blue fire.

 

Level design – Designing levels in the creation kit, interior and exterior.

 

3D model design- Blender, 3D Max, or Bryce

 

Voice actors- Do you have no experience? A ton of experience? I don’t care, because this machinima will have a ton of characters, some that have just one line. What I really care about (even though acting quality is very important as well) is your microphone quality. So unless you live in Waukesha, WI. You need to provide your own microphone.

 

Animators- The pilot episode has been made in a way that no extra animations or out of game models will be needed, but we hope for the future to go as crazy as possible, so if you can use 3D model programs or make custom animations all the way from kicking, spinning, to just throwing a high-five.

 

Music – I will be getting most if not all of my music from Newgrounds.com music portal. But if you use programs like “fruity loops” etc, please feel free to submit some music to me.

 

What are my requirements for all of these positions? No idea, since I have no idea at which pace we will be turning out episodes. I want every other week, but who knows what amount of energy is required to make each episode. As of now (6/10/12) I would like to launch episode one by August 1st.

 

How far is the project so far?

The pilot episode is “finished”. Meaning it has a beginning all the characters all the dialog a middle a resolution. It is just being looked over by several of my editors. The Pilot episode is several times longer than the rest of the episodes.

 

Locations for the first episode are chosen, but are still being created and optimized in the creation kit. My current “team” and I are in the processes of learning the creation kit.

 

If you are seriously interested and have any of the skills to be involved please contact me in any of the listed ways.

 

Also, if you feel I forgot any important information, or just have a question please feel free to post of email me.

SHRUM

We didn't do conjuration. You thought it to be a good idea after I left to try and bring back to life all of the animals that died in the forest fire.

LUND

I felt bad.

SHRUM

I understand that, But you didn't have to start a undead petting zoo. It took me two weeks to get the coin together to get you out of jail.

LUND

I was trying to make some extra money for us.

 

 

 

If anyone is intrested you can do Shrum voice, in this piece he would sound, frustrated a bit if you need motivation.

I posted this on another forum since someone was interested in a piece of dialog so just in case I will do it here.

If you have a sample for Daric I'd give you a try out. My Norse accent is terrible, which is strange because I can speak Swedish without an accent. Just not English WITH one...odd. ANYWAY, I can also write if you would like to see some of that.

DARIC

what are you looking at you walking rug.

-talking to a khajiit-

 

DARIC

Haven't you ever escorted a prisoner I’m surprised you didn’t frisk me earlier. What if I had a shiv huh?

SHRUM

I was hoping you did, give me a reason to dump your body off a cliff. Do you have one?

DARIC

No..

 

Metal is heard dropping the floor.

 

Remember his description and I think you should find out what he sounds like.

No sadly, it is still a while away from completion. If you were interested in a certain position and you give a detailed "application" then I would be willing to devulgde portions of the script in order for you to get a better idea.

[djavocado]

As for music and VA I am willing to give a hand in if you'd like. I've produced music for about 15 years.

 

As for VA havent really done that much yet, but what I have done is apparently good enough, my microphone is a Soundking preamped condenser, so white-noise will be at a minimum.

My voice will have a slight nordish accent to it though, as I am from Denmark.

 

Heres a few samples of both music and VA:

Send me a PM if it has any interest :)

Long time no update everyone.

 

I finally have done a mixture of things to finally get off my ass than sit back down on my ass in front of my laptop and start getting scenes done in the creation kit.

 

and...I finished scene one, scene one out of the planned 49.

 

so...progress?

 

Why am I updating you all?

 

I need someone to voice Shrum maybe even Lund. Maybe even just temporarily but I need someone to do it right now so I can record it and throw it on my personal youtube page to show a proof of concept.

 

Shrum is a Deep Nordic male voice. strong but not ...mean without a reason. Real the description if you need more info on Shrum or Lund. But if you have a good enough mic and can set aside at least 10-15 min to record lines. If you think you can do it just email me/ or message me/ or skype me and I will send you the first part of the script that is the scene.

 

I will try to look through all of your replys from the past and message you personally rather than having you come to me. Unless you have time to message me.
