Jan would never care if someone thought she looked fat. She'd just take off their face, and then go out for some pumpkin ice cream.

I don't know if Rendon or Incit still have chat logs from when we originally started working on this, but there were some good ideas that you guys might want to look at. If I can pull some time together I would be glad to help out, looks like this has more support than last time so it might actually happen!

Tim Buckley, author of webcomic Ctrl-Alt-Delete, recently put the smack down on a kid on his message boards who adapted the comic strips into a film for his high school video production/theater class. Even though they were done as a tribute for a project and not for a profit, there were still legal problems because the guy put them out on the web. the idea being that it would hurt future intellectual property if CAD were to ever be adapted as a film or cartoon.

maybe this isn't such a good idea, as it might actually HURT the chances of these characters getting resurrected sometime in the future that being said, i'd definitely be up for participating in a machinema, ILB related or otherwise

if we'd like to do a story of the 1.1, fan-fiction might be the better route as it would a more limited audience (and really, who would CARE but us?) and there wouldn't be the limitations of not seeing the characters outside a Mjolnar suit

I think you all are just plain silly about the leagl issues and ramifications of doing something like this.

1. We are not the first people in the world to think of using Halo to make movies and stories. it has been widly done. I think that Bungie recognises this as a benifit to the games and general intrest in the stories than something to really worry about.

2. We may have a little over confidince in our ability to make a machinima SOOOO good that it threatens the very existance of anything that Microsoft or Bungie might want to do. I say if you want to do it, do it. Stop worring about what the big bad corporations are going to do. Im pretty sure they dont care. ILB was a fun ad campain that they did and are done with. Now we can have fun with it.

3. you people think too much sometimes. but I love you.

there's also a distinction between using Halo as your medium, and using Halo/ILB characters in your cast

Anyways, i'm down with a ILB machinima series.

I like the similar Icon/Coloring idea but the gamertag thing only comes up when you scope on a person.

A WORKAROUND for this is to use XBCONNECT from xbconnect.com.

This allows us to use any name we want (Profile names) and also perhaps shoot some scenes using Halo 1 and the old Mjolnir Armor....

And Yes, headsets DO work over XBC (if the game supports System link Voice, like H2. H1 does not, so it would be voice'dover. We could use a PC VoIP like TeamSpeak or Ventrilo to communicate.)
