    Hey guys, I rarely post here, but right now I'm in need of some help. I'm a Machinima director who needs to add an experienced forger to his studio. A lot of people in my studio are planning big projects for Halo Reach but none of us can forge very well. We need to bring somebody on board who is easy to contact through XBL or Skype; can forge well; and can forge quickly. And yes, we pay real money.

    What we are looking for:

    • Age: no squeaky voices
    • Fast turnaround on map projects
    • Quality forging that is theater camera friendly
    • Good use of lighting
    • Maps that don't glitch out randomly while filming
    • Somebody who is easy to get in touch with

    What you can expect from us:

    • Payment through PayPal for works completed
    • Proper credit in each video
    • Will include download links to your maps (if possible)
    • Exposure

    Summary of information about me to prove that I am not a 12 year old with illusions of grandeur:


    Links to some of our better Halo 3 works that required forging:

    The Lighthouse: YouTube - The Lighthouse (Halo 3 Machinima)
    Misconception: YouTube - Misconception (Halo 3 Machinima)
    The Other Side: YouTube - The Other Side (Halo 3 Machinima)
    Gift of Mercy: YouTube - The Gift of Mercy (Halo / Modern Warfare 2 / CGI Machinima)
    Teardrop: YouTube - The Answer (Halo 3 Machinima)


    If anyone is interested there are several ways to get in touch with me. First off, I've subscribed this thread, so a reply will work. Other than that, please use the YouTube pages, or e-mail me directly at SilentKillerPA@yahoo.com .

    Put me down as a maybe. I have school certificate exams coming soon but once they're out of the way (end of october) I will have until february 2011 to forge whatever you need. After the end of february I have year 11 starting and wont be as available to forge (or play any games really).
    So thats about 4 months of 'whenever' availability for me.

    I'm definitely interested in being one of your forgers;) I'm out of high school so I usually have a lot free time on my hands. I'm 18 so I don't have a squeaky voice, I'm easy to get in touch with and to get along with. I can be reached here at the site, on XBL, and if you choose me then I could give you my phone number for instant communication through text. If you want to see some of my best work just click on the links in my sig. MLG Backlash is my own design and Barren Creek is a remake from Halo 2's Beaver Creek. Let me know if my work is good enough for you.

    I'd be glad to help. I don't think pay would be necessary, but if you insist! I'm experience, knowledgeable, creative, blah blah blah. Give me a shout here or on xbl.

    As seaboro said, I don't really think that this jobs warrants pay, but nonetheless I am interested, I won't be able to forge on reach until mid November at the earliest I expect. I created Friedhof (link in my sig) for reference to my skill level, I'm a senior in High school, so I may be unavailable at times but I should be generally reliable in terms of getting things done. I don't have a squeaky voice but I do think it comes out as somewhat nasally on xbox chat even though my voice sounds nothing like it. I don't have a skype account, but if its free I'm sure I could set up an account.

    Hey, I'd love to forge for your Machinima group. I know how tough it can be for Machinima directors to create their own good looking sets while at the same time making a great Machinima. I've been asked in the past to create sets for other people and their movies, but have always declined because I know either
    A)They are not serious and will not finish the project.
    B)They have no experience and the final product turns out to be more of a joke.

    With your group I can see that this won't be a problem because I can see you're serious about producing and directing and are already an established well known group.

    I would rather not be paid for forging for your group, being credited and possibly an affiliation to my own Youtube channel or something of the sort would be plenty fine. Although I am usually available I know school will catch up to me every once in a while and when it does it shouldn't be a problem; I'm a fairly quick forger but I'm also close friends with various skilled forgers so in the unlikely situation I do not finish a project by the deadline one of them can finish for me (I can give you a list and their work if you like).

    I have a small list of some of my Halo 3 projects in my signature if you want to see my work, my voice is certainly not squeaky and it's fairly easy to tell it apart from other people. I can be contacted through XBL(rifte gifle), Skype(rifte gifle) or MSN.

    Also, what kind of sets were you looking for? I understand if you don't want to spoil anything.

    I think i would be good for this job. Im 16 so no squeaky voices, I can forge quickly and well. I can be contacted through XBL or email. I tend to make infection maps (a few on Forge Hub) which require a lot of asthestic touches. Asthestics are very imortant for maps used in machinima's so message me on XBL if you want to see some of my latest maps. My gamertag is II elli0tH II.

    Well you've come to the right place, but designing is the hard part in reach. You could definitely forge anything you wanted yourself with the new custom rotations, snaps, and coordinates, but if you are offering, I would love to do it.

    I'd definitely be willing to forge for your machinima. This would not be the first time my map(s) have been used in machinimas. As others have said, I don't think that forging warrants pay, but if you're payin' I'll forge. I used to make only aesthetic maps, but the complexity of competitive drew me in. For about a year now I've had fans of some of my old maps telling me I should do more. I've personally also wanted to do more, but I never felt motivated enough to do any. The aesthetic genre of maps has always been a great place for me, and I'd hope to help you in any future endeavors.
    You could contact me via this site, my gamertag, Skype (thestickman72), or even email.

    What we are looking for:

    • Age no squeaky voices:
      No problems there, as long as you don't mind to deep.
    • Fast turnaround on map projects:
      No problems with that at all, Change a project on a dime
    • Quality forging that is theater camera friendly:
      In Reach I would have to get use to it(as would anyone)but I've seen a lot about it and looks like I could make perfectly smooth maps
    • Good use of lighting:
      I can't really say I have "Good" use of lighting but I like to use lighting and use it the best I can but I've never been evaluated on it before :p
    • Maps that don't glitch out randomly while filming:
      Never heard of that glitch, None of my maps have ever done that.
    • Somebody who is easy to get in touch with:
      I'm like online pretty much 24/7 on either xbox or computer.
    • Additional details:
      I'm pretty creative in if I have a objective and a goal of what to make I can quickly think of the best possible way to recreate it and improvise when needed
      if you happen to decide to use my services I'll be waiting for a PM But Good luck with creating your films whatever the circumstances. :)

    I can help if you'd like, I am not so experienced with Halo 3 forge. Well, I mean I am but I am not top-notch like alot of the forgers here. But, I do know how to design. Something alot of forgers forget. Tell me what you want and I'll try to forge it. I would give you a link to youtube videos of maps I designed but It'd be advertising...

    I have my youtube channel in my sig though. Also, I am young. You'll tell that through the voice audio. But I'm not a squeaker, and I don't talk so much. Payment would be nice, but if you guys could advertise my maps and youtube channel (If I make the cut, that is) that'd be great.

    When Reach comes around, I'll try out for whatever you want me to build. Contact me on Live, My GT is IxFlashPointxI.

    I would like to be one of your forgers as well. I am pretty good at forging when in comes to both design and aesthetics. I know how to ghost merge so any possible in Halo 3 I can probably do. Although I'm only 7 (Just kidding I'm really 16) I don't have a squeaky voice so you don't have to worry about that. I just started school but I still manage to have a lot of free time to play or forge or whatever. So I'm pretty much available whenever. Click on the "Ironyte" link to see my previous work.
