Updates

As you all should know, the Blur Multiplayer Beta was recently released. I have made a gameplay video of it however I was unable to upload it to Youtube for certain reasons. So instead, I chose to upload the video on an alternate website. This website actually has better HD quality than youtube and it allows you to upload videos longer than 1o minutes which is exactly what I need for future machinimas. But for now, you can watch my Blur Multiplayer Beta Video on Vimeo, the new video sharing site I'm using. I'll still upload videos to Youtube, but I'll start transitioning machinimas onto Vimeo in the near future.

We also have a lot of videos coming out soon. We'll be uploading them shortly. We'll also be releasing an update video within the next few days that will give you an update on our clan and what's to come. In that video we'll announce our upcoming videos and machinimas. So stay tuned!

New Intro For Our Videos

As some of you might have noticed in our most recent video. We now have a brand new intro for our videos. This shiny new intro is definitely not made in Windows Movie Maker this time by combining effects and transitions. Instead, we used a whole new program to make our intro. Well most of that program. Our intro was made using Adobe After Effects CS4. A tiny little bit of the intro was made in Windows Movie Maker Vista Edition. But what you see in the intro was all Adobe After Effects. We only used Windows Movie Maker to put the two parts of the intro together and add the music into the intro. Also, we used Windows Movie Maker to achieve a higher quality HD intro thanks to Windows Vista. You can look forward to seeing this new intro in all of our future videos including a top secret machinima series aside from Planet Zero that's coming out soon. More announcements will be on their way. In the meantime, stay tuned!

The New Gold Team Productions

There's recently been a lot of changes going on my clan recently. Our lack of videos is kind of an effect of all that change. We've recently broken our alliance with a previous video clan called Kjski9050 productions. We've also formed a new alliance with a new clan called BAMFClanvideos.

What does this alliance/partnership mean? Well, this alliance is a very close integration between our two clans/production groups. We'll be working very closely with their members. Their leader, Ballistik75, will be starring in a lot of our videos from now on. Speaking of our videos, we are also beginning to focus a bit more on machinimas and short videos. Our new line of machinimas will be of a much higher quality than our previous ones. As you also know, our new videos will also be in 1080p HD now. Basically, our entire clan has entered what we call, the 4th generation of the clan. Here is a list of our upcoming videos:

1. Save The Turtles
2. Halo 3 vs. Modern Warfare 2
3. Planet Zero (A Modern Warfare 2 Machinima Series)

You may have also noticed ads appearing on our blog site. Well, don't worry too much about those. The point of those ads is so we can generate a little bit of revenue from the Google AdSense program to help fund our future projects. We're also looking to become a Youtube Partner. So stay tuned for further updates. Our clan is changing a lot.

Planet Zero Machinima

Well, here it is, the synopsis (plot) behind the new upcoming Planet Zero Episodic Machinima.

Plot:

A team of scientists with the assistance of military personnel discover an ancient artifact buried deep below some ancient ruins on a desert planet far away from Earth. The scientists learn that the artifact is a portal device that transports them to an unknown location. Everyone involved in this project is very interested in getting it to work. However, the original power source used to power the artifact is missing so they must find an alternate source of energy. They decide to drill to the planets core and use the core as a power source for the artifact. However, using the planet's core as a power source is very dangerous because if there is any kind of power disruption or power surge, it could cause the core to go critical. Because of this, the scientists begin debating about whether they should still turn on the device. Before they can finish their debate, their base is attacked by an unknown enemy. At first, they believe it's the covenant that attacked because the enemy used covenant vehicles, but they soon realize that it couldn't be the covenant. The soldiers guarding the base engage the enemy ships in a battle. However, there are too many enemies for them to fend off. During the battle, one of the enemy ships fires on the artifact and the massive conduits connecting it to the planet's core. This sends a shock to the planets core which causes the core to go unstable. Realizing that there's not enough time to leave the planet, the scientists have no choice but to escape through the only way out. The portal. They manage to activate the artifact and they all jump through it. Soon after the military personnel follow the scientists through. A few seconds later, the core finally goes through an unstable critical chain reaction causing the entire planet to explode. In an alternate reality, 2 scientists arrive first. The rest were all split up. Nobody knows where they are or how to get back. For now, their goal is to survive in this new environment.

New Machinima Coming Soon!

Yes, I got my Xbox 360 back. Now the machinima will be an episodic machinima. It will be mostly a modern warfare 2 machinima with a little mix of Halo. I'll release more details later. For now, a lot of clans and production groups are working on this machinima together. The name of the machinima is, "Planet Zero".

Bad News!

Unfortunately, my Xbox 360 has gotten the Red Rings of Death. So our videos will be delayed until I get my Xbox 360 back. This is the 2nd time I've gotten Red Rings of Death within 3 years. Anyways, fear not, I will still be making videos. I've been working on a very difficult but important glitch in Halo 2 (I still have my Original Xbox). As most of you have voted, you all don't mind me making more Halo 2 Glitch videos. I promised that any glitch in Halo 2 I make a video of from now on would be big. Well that's what I'm doing. I'll reveal more details about the glitch later.

In the meantime, I will also be releasing more soundtrack videos on my Halomusicians Channel. As you all should know, Halomusicians was a branch of Gold Team Productions started about a year ago that's dedicated to releasing Video Game Soundtracks. It is basically the music department of our clan. Visit the channel here!

Stay tuned for more updates! And there will be a lot more in days to come. Happy Holidays!

New Machinima On Its Way!

I've been working on a pretty big machinima project recently. This machinima is a bit different than what I've done in the past. This is a collaborative machinima which involves not just my production clan, but also 3 others. In other words, I'm not the only one filming this time. The three other clans are Kjski9050productions, HaloForDummies, and H3GP. A lot of other volunteers were involved as well. We're still working on the machinima at the moment but it should be finished soon.
