Interactive Machinima

**HaLo2FrEeEk**

No, I didn't find anything like this, but I think it'd be kinda cool. If you don't get the concept, here it is explained:

Basically, we film a series of very short movies, each movie is a scene in a bigger movie. The movie has a few different plots and outcomes, and all stems off one intro. What the viewer then does is choose the scenes he (she) wants to watch and then a player (that I would probably have to make) would play those scenes in order to show a full movie, with the outcome depending on what scenes the viewer chose. It could start as something, then you chose a next scene, what happens to the person next. After that, there are more scenes that you can choose based off that second scene, and so on. Eventually, you get to choose the ending, whether the person dies, or lives, or kills his target, or learns some truth, etc. This would be completely interactive and would let the user effectively make his own machinima.

What do you think? I didn't want to post this in the movies section because it probably won't happen, but it's a very good idea. I can even see how I would be able to put together the player, fairly easily.

Do you think we can knock something like this out? It would take a lot of planning and paying attention to detail (to make sure that all the scenes are consistent with the previous ones, like weapons, colors, etc), but I can see it turning out really cool.

So, ideas? Comments? Story suggestions?

Well I am about to leave for school so I will comment better later but I think this is an awesome idea thought it may be a little challenging.

I agre that it sounds really difficult, and I will think on some ideas while I am at school today, and if you haven't noticed I have fast(er) internet now. It's clearwire, so it's really great when it's not raining outside. So I can help :D

Seems great. Hard and easy we can maker like 3 machinimas in one!

Maybe in the begining you choose plot! Zombies? Enemy? or Something?

Get what im saying but I say its great. Someone should say huh I pick Zombies and another picks Enemy everyone decides how long then at the end another pick and then different people switch or not but still the choose plot is cool!

This would give the user many different stories he could watch unfolding in different ways. Sorta like when you're playing Gears and it asks you which path you want to take, same concept, a different path to the same ending, only with this, you'd be able to choose the ending.

The part that is confusing me H2F is how will the viewer be able to pick how the story will go? will it be flash or something?

I'll use php and dynamically generate a playlist file which the user will download and will then watch, it will load the videos from the internet from this playlist, much like if you had a playlist of songs on your computer in Windows Media Player. I think it'll work. If not, I'll get someone to build something in flash for me.
