Out of Service

I just finished the first episode of my Gears of War 2 machinima, Out of Service. Which you can see at my website www.dotswoof.com or at Dot Swoof's youtube page. Please let us know what you think...

I've learned a few things working on this machinima. Firstly, never underestimate how far someone will go to help with a machinima. A good friend named "Regooba" helped a lot in the filming and production of this episode, including helping me scout locations and plan out scenes. He was a total stranger before this and now a helpful friend.

Secondly, never underestimate what audio can do. The entire opening of the first episode is composed mostly of just audio, but it flows together nicely and gives the audience loads of setup information.

And finally, re-takes are a must. Simply said, nothing comes out perfect the first time. So always be willing to try again, at least once. Even if you got ten different takes the first time, you don't know what can happen in another shoot.

Hey, mate, I've been watching OOS up to episode 11 and it's still as epic as ever! Can't wait for the next episode. Oh, and I particularly liked the jukebox, the nuka-cola machine (though wouldn't it be "has anyone got a bottle cap?") and the Leroy Jenkins-esque RONNNYYYYYYYYYYYY HOGAN! Nice touch. =)

thank you for being an eloquent writer for Jefferoo, I am having a pointless argument with him at the moment and like to see others doing the same.

Well I must say it is rather foolish of you to see one candidate as an idiot and another as a beacon of hope. It is my belief that all people, and all ideas are wrong, twisted and corrupted equally. While McCain has a mixed history of bad decisions, and is ultimately more of what we've had for the past eight years....Obama has nearly no history, and seems to have delusions of an impossible utopia.

I understand and respect that view, I used to be that way for a while.

While I find many of the liberal ideas (health care, unions, global affairs) very appealing and idealistic, I don't see how such is possible. They could make claims that trees will blossom with petroleum fuel, doesn't mean it'll actually come to pass.



They're doing well for themselves. Really well.

The humor covers up the pain inside.

I have a lot of issues with Johnny boy. He graduated at the bottom of his class from the Naval Academy, only making it because of his Admiral father, crashed a handful of planes before being POW, then after he got back, he abandoned his first wife who waited for him, and chased Cindy around the country whilst still married. He divorced his first wife after she was in an accident, and married into a great amount of wealth.

As a politican, he's voted against the MLK holiday, supported Bush the vast majority of the time after coming in second place to him in 2000, and in this campaign, watching him has been painful. Comparing Obama to Hilton, saying he wants to lose the war, and so on. Its unacceptable, especially when watching Obama's campaign try to have some decency.

Eh name gags aren't as hilarious as Biden's ice burns and McCain's idiocy.
