    I've struck up the idea to make some videos focused on the design of a level, i.e. asymmetry, balance, spawns, geometry, uses of special effects, like aesthetic touches, and switches.

    Basically we have the stuff that helps people make their maps look good, but very little that helps them make their map play well, and the stuff that has, never seems to get noticed enough. Also, videos are a quicker, and more easily digested medium of information.
    Basically I need actors(not really voice actors) but just puppeteers to help me with live action examples.


    Anyone who has any advice to give, or wants to sign on to help, please do so!

    I forgot to post a short sign up form:

    No....unless you count playing co-op campaign pretending to be an actual Spartan with Elite partners....

    Hi, I would love to be able to help with your video....if there's no need for voice then it would be great cause I don't like my voice that the mic makes...

    Sure dude, your time schedule might cut it a little close, but yeah.
    Unfortunately, that doesn't count. ; ]

    Your time zone is GMT -8 too? Then it's much easier to say. I can be on around 12pm-6pm, 9pm-11pm (Tues and Thurs). 12pm-11pm (Mon,Weds,Fri-Sun).

    Could you please specify what times? Like when you wake up, and go to sleep(in GMT, so in your case add 8 hours).
    And are you going on vacation after next week, or something?

    well no, i switch back and forth from my moms and dads, my dad has the xbox my mom has the computer. but to be specific everyother week i will be on around 10:30-12:00AM
    and 2:00-4:00PM and 7:30-11:00PM. were in the same time zone so it should be easy.

    these times are just roughly what it normally is.

    Okay, I added all of you guys on Xbox Live, I'm going to start writing a script for our first video.
    It will be on asymmetry, and balance in said environment.

    Very sorry, the ship sort of crashed as I am just recovering from a flu I've had recently.
    Going to try and finish it up, and hopefully, I'll have it done before I, myself lose interest.
