My Machinima Process

So long story short, my week's been fucked up. And I am mad at a lot of people. Not any of you guys just people.

Getting right down to the point. . .
I have no ideas for a upcoming videos, I just don't know - a lot of you guys been emailing me, and inboxing me blah blah blah. Saying since you read my blogger you guys are interested in what is the process of me making videos.

Here's my process




  1. I have to find a song
  2. Find a storyline, finding a storyline is when I find the song I want to use in my video, then after I understand the lyrics I know what will be my machinima on.
  3. Finding the place where I am going to record it (overlays, screenshots, etc.) It really all depends on what type of song I am doing, like with the Being Bewitched Is Forbidden videos I have a "dark setting" as you can see, I film a lot in The Black Temple. But with a happy sort of song I try my best to find the perfect place
  4. Finding my character(s) it's a really long process because I got to find the correct clothes, hairstyles, facial etc. I'd like my characters to go with the music. 
  5. Finding my colors, if you guys watched Forbidden Nights it has a lot of red in, in BBIF I've got a really light pink colored tint, in my Zombie video I've got a very darker red color that has a drains of despair filters. I think the colors are very important for setting the mood for the video. I enjoy putting together the granites. 
  6. Seeing if the video's eligible to be processed, ever since BBIF I had to keep close on what types of songs I use, see if its covered by a lot of YouTube copyrights. And also, see if I am pleased with the video, if not I'll put in my Unfinished Folders 
  7. Finding the style. Finding my styles for my videos is very hard because of I don't know if I want it edgy, or possible epic. Like in my Halloween video I had it both, also in my E.T music video I had it very edgy. Edgy as in sexy and mature content. 
  8. Into Sony Vegas I go, after I found my characters, their hairstyles, clothes, the works! I have to see what Chroma Key that goes with them. For example: Blue Chroma Key with blue clothing, NO. Black Chroma Key with blue clothing yes. After finding the effects I want to use in the video I would save and label them as in: Zombie. And automatically it'll save in the effect station where I made my effect, idk if you guys get this maybe I'll show you in a video! No promises... 
  9. After a month's/week's(if your lucky) work of working on a video I'll be prompting on via twitter, and here etc. 
  10. It doesn't stop here! For some fucking reason I can't upload my videos on my desktop so, I'm going to upload them onto my mac, so yes it takes time sending it all, -before I do that I convert my video so it can be smaller file *faster to upload, the whole lally da*.- So in all, converting my video, sending it to my mac, and uploading it takes about .... 2 hours. :P So that's why the Halloween Video was like a couple hours late.
  11. I go uneven. Last but not least, I am able to put custom thumbnails onto my videos, so I make a picture using the characters that was in the video, doing my title etc. I love this because I don't like using the thumbnails they give me

Pretty sure that's all for my machinima making process, if I added more I'll just edit this post. 11 steps, and that's why it takes me a month or a WEEK (if your lucky) to finish my videos.

Last thing - I got a unfnished video in my SV file... and I'm too - ah nevermind *derp face* :3
