Thinking about making a Champions of Mandalore machinima once the game is released. But since the game is so far away it's basically just ideas. Thought I'd share them and maybe we can work something out. I got inspired by the Battlestar Galactica soundtracks that Tajos linked to in another thread, and got a pretty epic vision :P
I want to use Dark Unions (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Loa50WmPtA) and Scar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAeL6o4LWzM) for it, but I'll cut and paste it abit to shorten it. Quickly explained, It starts with Dark Unions where you see soldiers running through the halls of our base, women and children watching scared at them. The alarms are flashing, but the sound is mute, only the music is there. The soldiers get ready either outside the base or in one of the docks, getting ready for a fight (getting in place behind defenses etc). At the end of the music it really paces off, ending with a "loud" drum that ends abruptly, and that's when whoevers attacking attacks, and the action starts.
Then I'll cut in Scar right after the Dark Unions end, which will continue the action smoothly. So the soldiers fight the attackers. Then the music slows for a while, and the soldiers finish off the last of the attackers slowly, remainders who are almost dead. Then suddenly attacks a second group that the soldiers hadn't noticed, and the music instantly starts fast paced, ending abruptly once again similar to the start of the battle, and our CoM logo flashes up on the screen.
I've got more detailed ideas on camera angles etc, if you want to hear them. And I'll need some actors and others who can help me with the editing. My skills are limited to basics.
