I am going to be making my own series.

Hello, all. At the moment, I am typing a script for my own FO3 Machinima. Granted, my computer isn't the most powerful, but it can handle FO3 Medium Textures + a few extra things that give it a nice little flare. Not to mention....mods, which will help me out greatly. My machinima will have custom content.

As far as my story goes. It will be my own, but if Drakortha allows it, it will take place parallel of the events happening in DC Chronicles. Or at least, it will reference a few things, hopefully with Drakortha's permission. This will be following the story of a Vault Dweller. I have a rough script of Episode 1, but I wanna script more before I make some things final. Like....when he left the vault. How long he's been out. What his primary purpose is in the story. There will be some plot twists, but I will try and make them unpredictable. I also need to finalize the title. Another big reason on doing this is because of DC Chronicles and Drakortha's filming talents overall. This will not be meant to compete, but rather admire the touches he's trying to pull off in DC Chronicles. I will try to have some classic Fallout visuals and references too.

The story will follow James Worden, a vault dweller who, despite some great deal of knowledge, still has yet to learn everything about the wastes. Follow him as he visits places such as The Pitt and Point Lookout. But it won't stop there. There will be many mysteries and puzzles to solve. Many friends and enemies to make. Great virtues of life and horors of death. Loyalty and betrayal. I am hoping to accomplish some deep story.....hopefully with someone's help as well. And yes, there will be decent sized battles, my friends.

If anyone likes this, lemme know. I'll need help both in the filming tips range and VA and 'scripting' range as well. I already have a fabulous guide he linked me to, so that helps. Any other tips from someone would be nice too -- if anyone cares to help. Thanks for listening people.

Re: I am going to be making my own series.

The first episode has been written. I absolutely suck with dialogue, but eh. Maybe someone could look it over. Preferably Drakortha, if he would like to help.

Anyways, James Worden, the main character, is also my real name. I don't mind really, as the only thing revealed is the first and last names. Yes, I know, "Oh how original. Using your name in a machinima that takes place approximately 200 years from now!? Awesome." To be honest, sometimes I like emmersing myself in a roleplay story with my own name, like....what if one of my decendents had the same first and last name? It's possible. As far as how long my family line will go, I have no idea, but it's cool to imagine if my family line still exists in a post-apocalyptic world.

Moving on from that, there will be some Enclave and BoS propaganda throughout the series....occaisionally. It won't be excessive, but I'll also try not to make it too predictable. That also goes with plot and any events that take place. I think a few interesting plot twists will be nice, as long as they make sense. I just hope I can make a good story from this that everyone enjoys....or at least some people. It's not going to be perfect and should not be compared to the great work of Drakortha's DC Chronicles, if you were going to set 'machinima quality standards'. I hope to make something touching to people. And hopefully, if I play my cards right, and if I have some help from either Drakortha or another person who knows advanced machinima techniques, it will help even more.

A working title right now is 'The Lone Scavenger'. Name is subject to change. The only detail I am revealing and if Drakortha says it's alright, it will be not long after Andrew Grafton left Vault 101 to search for a water chip. There will be references to events that happened in DC Chronicles, such as the battle for Freedom's Door, the Deathclaw Caravan Massacres, etc. And there will be cameos if anyone's interested in seeing that. My story will be my own, however. It will not copy DC Chronicles at all, but merely will take place while or after events took place. Anyone that cares to voice for me, or help script-wise, let me know at my e-mail/ On MSN. PLEASE let me know if my basic idea is good and note I am merely inspired by DC Chronicles, not copying in any way shape or form.

Re: I am going to be making my own series.

Name title change to 'He Who Followed'. He did not follow Grafton directly, but merely the example of leaving the vault as a whole. James left for his own purposes and not just because the water chip went to shit, though that was one of the many reasons he left after Andrew Grafton did. The Overseer was most likely less than pleased of an unauthorized leaving of the vault. But, I don't wanna spoil or anything, or make anything that would contradict what DCC is going for in terms of story. Will update again soon.

Hmm... I'm taking it either no one cares or are just missing the thread.

Despite which one, the project is continuing. Slowly, however. I'm not going to let a lack of feedback for my idea make me stop my project that I have been longing to do.

Hey if you don't mind I'd like to help in anyway possible. I'm not good with Machinima Details but I could help you out with the script etc... I could also put a word in to Drakortha as he hasn't seen this and I talk to him on MSN sometimes. I'll also Voice Act (I'm english) any parts you need.

Sure. Sorry for the late reply and stuff. Haven't been to this forum in awhile. Anyways, you and the people above me can help. My YouTube account is RevanRA. By no means are my videos professional-like like Drakortha's, but, well, you know. I need to get back to scripting this. I'm dedicated to getting my stuff done, it's just life has been getting too busy, if ya know what I mean? Drakortha full well knows about my wanting to make my own series - and in-fact encourages it much so. I didn't hear any protest about basing my character's story in the same universe Grafton here is in. I think it'd be cool to have my character meet Grafton down the line too.

In-fact, I'm wondering if Drakortha wouldn't mind working along with me, but I think that may be pushing it.

Re: I am going to be making my own series.

Well, it may not be pushing it I don't think. I mean, he's busy with the Season Finale and what have you, but I'm sure he'd help out if he could because he seems the type to help people out even though he's a big youtube name, unlike alot out there..... And anyway I can help music to helping with the story and script. As long as nothing good gets stolen for example music, as your own material if I were to write something etc...

Re: I am going to be making my own series.

Its great that your starting your own series but you might want to steer clear of using any of Drakortha's story, if you get what I'm trying to say. Even if he thought it was fine and helped you here and there it would slow down his production and two different storys branching off one can cause inconsistences(I know I spelled that wrong).
