Septagon TV, 7th Column Tv, The community show, whatever, all crappy names and I can't think of something better right now.
...
Oh yes, I was talking about something.
Perhaps you remember, about a year and a half ago I had the idea to make something like a community documentary. There was quite a bit of interest, but due to lack of time (and cash), it never came to be. A shame indeed. In any case, it's something I kinda want to resurrect (start your necromantic chanting!), but in a different shape. A half an hour show, every two/three weeks or something along those lines.
Content? As much community stuff as possible of course, but this is something I will need help with. I can fill a half an hour episode with plenty of (lame) mom jokes, but that'll get old fast. Luckily, I do have a few tricks in my bag ( A mail call/whaambulance thing for instance), but even more would be better. Got a great sticky in some crazy match? be sure to let me know. Want to show a clip of you dressed up in your own mjolnir armor? Send it in! machinima trailer? let me know! Want to show a tour of a great map variant you made? Fine by me!
All that sort of stuff are the things I welcome. And not just the Halo related stuff. In the end I want this show to be about Bungie, but just as much as the people of the community.
[i]But what about the Bathroom reader?![/i]
Good question. The problem with the reader was the lack of staff. And it needed quite a bit. Worse, if one person couldn't do his part, the whole progress shut down. With this show, that's not the case. I can do pretty much everything myself, and faster too. and if I can't do things for a change , it will be a short delay at worst (unless I'm on my yearly one month long vacation, but that's a different story.)
Somehow i have a bit of difficulty to find the words to explain what I have in mind (oh yeah, host segments will be done in Halo 3), but with a bit of luck I can have a pilot episode done within two weeks.
Anyhoo, I'd like some feedback. What do you guys think of the idea? Perhaps you already have something to send in?

I remember this. I hope you can do it this time.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] prometheus25 Also, you accepting stillshot comic books?[/quote] Depends, feel free to send it to me, but I'try to keep the still images to a minimum. Of course, comics and pictures will be shown, but just how many and what kinda depends on how it will look on video.
-
Machinima trailer? Funny, I actually have one in the works... Also, you accepting stillshot comic books?
-
A great idea, mister! =D Yes, I'll try to help out in any way that I can. Does the man accept fan-fiction? [Edited on 10.19.2007 3:21 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Gods Prophet One small idea i had was a gallery section showing off some fan art (of which we have about two or three threads worth i believe)[/quote] A slide-show of fan art would be sweet. :D

I'm glad you're thinking about this again. One small idea i had was a gallery section showing off some fan art (of which we have about two or three threads worth i believe). I might also have some Bungie related content hidden away; might need to get permission to use some of it first though.
-
Oh, a perfect time to show off some of my map variants! ;) I guess I would have some content for you.. Would you mind capturing some tours of my map variants, then?

I'll give you a hand if you need it. No financial support unfortunately. I just found out my car needs $2,500 of work done to it. If you need my help I can give you my AIM/MSN. I'm on those more.
-
Thanks for the feedback guys. I might get the pilot/prototype episode done and uploaded by the end of next week. But the show will actually start till somewhere in December (I'm on my yearly month long vaction this november).

Oo, I would love to read some of the hate mail you moderators get.

I think a campaign challenge could be done each week or every so often. There are so many combinations that could be done each week. Not so much "The highest score ever" competition, but more of a challenge to the community for any given week. Such as... Best campaign score for 2 players on Normal with 2 skulls on Halo, Best 4 player team to do "The Ark" on Legendary and so on. Competition in a fun manner can only be a good thing. It'd be fun for all. There are just endless amounts of challenges that could be done. Win, lose, or draw everyone could have a lot of fun trying a new ways to play the campaign each week. Just my two cents. Anything I can do to help, I'll be here.
-
This is one of the best idea's I've heard in a long time. I would love to help out with this however I can.
-
A half hour of your mom jokes and moderator waaaahmbulance sounds good to me.....
-
Hosting: Rapidshare for <100 megabytes, megaupload for <500. That's free, of course, if you pay you get more.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Achilles1108 I am yours to command JAF.[/quote] i heard the same thing from your mom last knife. I remember this, I still think it would be a great idea.
-
I am yours to command JAF.
-
I can guarantee that I will watch. Some interviews with prominent community members, and I mean the members, would be nice.
-
I remember our conversations in MSN JaF and the idea sounds prominent. If this project does get completed and manages to get at least one episode up, it’s going to be a hilarious and yet entertaining watch, can’t wait for it. Lately, I’ve had some extra free time on my hands so if you need assistance, you know where I am.
-
Oooh I like. Anything that involves the community I will support. It's been kinda boring around here...
-
Would be cool if you featured yourself a little too in the first episode JAF.
-
Awesome idea. While we'te at it can we make a 50's style informative video about bungie.net
-
I think I remember that. Anyway, I think it would be a great idea. I have a nice mancannon stick if you want it.
-
This is a great idea. I would love to have this as a site feature. [url=http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/webcamtv/Group/GroupHome.aspx]In here I have a bunch of webcam comics for starters[/url] of what I can do. If you need any help or have any questions on creating this TV show type thing, let me know. One cool thing would be a spoof of "Lazer Cats" from Saturday night Live. But with Halo 3 lazer guns. I think another cool thing would be machinema music videos. I have plenty of ideas that could work. I have some cool stuff. Let me know. [Edited on 10.18.2007 4:01 PM PDT]
