All video projects delayed until further notice

Due to some technical difficulties which I have mentioned in one of my previous posts several months ago, I cannot continue producing more videos until the issue has been solved. The last time I mentioned these technical issues, they were fairly minor back then and only prevented me from consistently producing 1080p videos. But now, the problems are getting far worse. Even typing up this update can cause some of those problems to happen. What are the problems? Well here you go:

I have a Dell XPS M1530 Laptop which has a nVideo GeForce 8400M Graphics Card. Some faulty manufacturing in the M1530 series causes the graphics card to overheat very quickly. Normally if the graphics card overheats, the laptop will just shutdown or freeze. After it cools down, I can start my laptop back up again. Well, after several times of this happening, the GPU and the motherboard start to become damaged from the heating and cooling cycles. Now whenever my graphics card overheats, my screen goes crazy flashing all these lines and colors. Sometimes it even causes my laptop to get the Blue Screen of death. I'm running Windows Vista so a blue screen isn't supposed to happen and if it does, it's usually bad. Recently, the problem is getting worse and occurring more frequently. Basically my laptop is suffering from the PC version of the Xbox 360's Red Rings of Death. For the moment, my laptop can still be used. But anything that requires a lot of graphics power can cause a lot of problems. And since I'm running Windows Vista, all those fancy Windows Aero effects aren't exactly helping. So for the time being, I disabled all those effects and reverted to Windows Classic Theme which pretty much makes Windows Vista look like a mix of Windows XP and Windows 2000. Anyways, I've already contacted Dell and they're going to have someone fix my laptop. But until then, I won't be producing any videos because my laptop is at risk of a complete unrecoverable hardware failure much like the Red Rings of Death. I'll keep you all updated about the progress of my laptop's repair. So stay tuned!

One Final Effort - A Halo 2 Machinima

Well as you all know, today is the last day of Xbox Live for Halo 2 and all original xbox games. We've decided to spend the day playing the game one last time and we even made a quick 2 part machinima in Halo 2. The 1st part has been completed today and we will be uploading it onto Youtube later today or tomorrow. So stay tuned!

Planet Zero Episode 2 - The Inhabitants

As promised, I would be releasing more details and the plot summary of Planet Zero Episode 2 once it's released. Yep, that means the episode is almost finished! It should be finished and released sometime later this week. If not, then next week. Now, the moment you've all been waiting, the synopsis of Planet Zero Episode 2:


The story continues off from episode 1 where it was mentioned that the whole team was split up when they went through the portal back in the Halo universe. This episode follows the military part of the team that went through the portal. A small squad of soldiers led by General Robertson lands inside an abandoned airport. There does not appear to be any signs of life around so they decide to split up to search the area. One soldier, Sergeant Coleman, comes across a small group of people while searching the area, however these people are not who they appear to be. Sgt. Coleman approaches the inhabitants only to be brutally attacked and torn apart by the zombie-like inhabitants. The other soldiers hear the scream and rush to Coleman to find out what happened. They see the zombies eating the body of sgt. coleman. General Robertson gives the order to open fire on the zombies. However, their weapons appear to be ineffective and the zombies don't even flinch when they were shot. The zombies then start charging at the soldiers who panic and split up. The zombies also split up and pursue the individual soldiers. Each soldier gets killed until the only one left is General Robertson. He tried to radio for help but no one responds. The zombies catch up to him and he runs outside onto the tarmac only to find that there's no way out. Backed up against the fence, the zombies are about ready to attack the General until an explosive shot from an AC-130 in the air destroys all the zombies. Another team of people then crash lands in front of the general. However, these people are not the team of scientists and soldiers from the Planet Prometheus. The leader of these people is Commander Hayes who led the attack on the planet back in episode 1. They take the General with them and the plane flies away. 


Well, there you go, that's pretty much what Planet Zero Episode 2 is going to be like. Hope you'll enjoy it. Stay tuned for more updates!

Planet Zero Episode 2 - Exclusive Preview

Episode 2 of Planet Zero was just recently filmed and early editing has just begun. You can watch what we have done so far right here on this blog in our exclusive content section. I'll post the plot details later. Remember, this is an early version so no part of the script has been added in yet and there's still A LOT of editing to do. If you wish to comment and make any suggestions, you can post that comment directly to this post. Enjoy!

Updates, Updates, More Updates!

Alright well, we have a lot to announce in this update! So first off, you may have noticed that our blog's url has been changed to reflect that of our current clan's name. Secondly, if you haven't noticed yet, we have added a lot of new features to our blog including a new chat feature which you can use to chat with any member of the Gold Team Productions Clan if they are online. I have also added a list of the top 5 clan leaders so you can add them or talk to them if you want. However, only the supreme leader (General Heed) has any power in the clan. So don't try manipulating any of the leaders to get into our clan. I will also be posting a list of all my other clan members later. But there are a lot of clan members so it could take me awhile. And now, I'm going to announce our upcoming videos.

*Planet Zero Episode 2: The Inhabitants (A Modern Warfare 2 Machinima)
*Top Secret Modern Warfare 2 Glitches
*Top Secret Halo 3 Glitches

Those are all we have planned for now. At the moment, the machinima is our top priority and we also have another new series coming out which was announced in the last update (Galaxy Zero). We'll be posting more updates frequently now so make sure you check back more often and stay tuned!

More Updates!!!

As promised, we are releasing more updates. We are not quite ready to release any details about our new machinima yet, but we will toss you guys a bone (screenshots) from our new series.

You like what you're seeing? Well, we'll be releasing more information as it becomes available. Perhaps we might even release a little trailer or preview clip from the new machinima series. And just a reminder, this is not Planet Zero, it is actually a spin-off series of Planet Zero. For the moment, we are going to call it Galaxy Zero. Like we said, more information will become available soon. So stay tuned!!!

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.

Blur Multiplayer Beta Gameplay Video

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!
