Smash Wii U Machinimas for SmashBrosWiiU

[Angelglory]

I'm planning a Smash 4 series, but can't do too much without knowing the full roster. I also do Brawl machinima, I'm even in the same group as the guy that makes Smash King.

...ahhh yes, THE Angelglory.
I really liked Tales of Advent.

I think a text based machinima could work, but not in the way they're usually done. Instead of using text that looks like it came straight out of Windows Movie Maker, why not create text boxes and have the text emit sound in the vein of something like Golden Sun? Maybe you could add character portraits to the text box too to help convey their emotions (if they're angry, the character portrait shows them angry; if they're happy, the character portrait shows them happy.)? Let me give an example using Snake.

When Snake is calm, the text box and portrait reflect that. The text scrolls normally emitting a low and deep sound to imitate his voice. His portrait also imitates his mood; it could just be him with his dark and serious look.

When Snake is angry, the text box and portrait also reflect that. The text scrolls faster emitting a louder and possibly higher pitched version of the previously mentioned. The text box could also shake when it appears; and if he is really angry, the whole screen might shake. His portrait could mirror his anger by showing him baring his teeth and tilting his head downwards with his eyes gazing ahead.

Pros:

• Unique: It really hasn't been done before.
• You would not have to worry about voice actors; thus, you could possibly go at your own pace.

Cons:

• It would probably be hard to implement/program. You could potentially find people that can help you out with it though.
• People love voice acting; so it might be immediately dismissed for having none at all.

I'm afraid I don't have much advice when it comes to a text-based machinima, though part of that is because I, like many others out there, are used to these things having voice acting. I don't mean to discourage you or anything though. It does sound like an interesting idea.

On the topic of machinima as a whole, I am also a big fan of Smash King (I prefer that style of story over things like Smashtasm or Wolf's ******** Mission). It's the series that first got me interested in voice acting, though I still haven't done too much of that to date. All the same, I'm floating the idea of a Smash 4 machinima myself. Been brainstorming some ideas the past few days, and I already got a general direction in which I want to take it. I'll also want to see the full roster and play around with the game itself before I really get started, but this might be an interesting challenge for me down the road.

I WAS PLANNING THIS!!! I just don't know how to do it!!! lol My idea actually was to make the first one good, with no voice acting and then depending on how many views and likes I get, the next ones in the trilogy WILL have voice acting. I'll like to have it from the start though but I'm not even popular on youtube, so when I make them I'll be posting them on here and facebook, twitter. Everywhere to get the word out so I can get voice acting. I'm even going to Villanjo afterwards to get some help and Smash King.

Same here!

Sorry that this may be tediously long, I was really thanking you guys and saying what I was putting into consideration. If you want to know what this machinima will be about, please skip until you see this. "------"

Please everyone know that I'm not just skipping on to the next comment but I am reading EVERYONES comments and I really want to thank you all for all the advice everyone is giving me and even some of the things people have already told me is something I have been putting into consideration. Like voice acting, I obviously wanted it in if I had a vote on it at the top of the thread. lol And you are all creative and very helpful for me. Yes I am really considering voice acting, but I'm VERY particular about the things I choose. I watch many Machinimas and not all of the voice acting has been pleasant, but Smash Kings is very good I have to say. I talked to Villanjo weeks after I officially decided I wanted to do Machinimas because as we all know, or hopefully most know is that he made "A Link to A Smash" "Chronicles of The Sages" and "Bounty Hunter" and I have grown very fond to his series and Loves the whole concept of them all. Then recently like a month ago, I viewed one of Smash Kings Machinimas, and I said wow, voice acting for Machinimas is literally on a whole... different... level. It also sounds challenging. But I didn't really make it clear on what I wanted to do with my Machinima at first so here it goes. I want this to be something new, will it be serious? Yes, but at the same time there will be those little relief moments in there. Like not no bull****ty "hehehaha" joke to just toss around in there that is random, there is always that funny character in Machinima that is just goofy which is in my case is Donkey Kong (seeing how Sakurai is making him the Legally Blonde of 2014), Wii Fit Trainer and Villager. I also want to use this game in its FULL effect, things ranging from trophies to items, everything this game has to offer. If I can't use it then it won't be used but I'll try. I want this Machinima to be amazing, it might not be the best, but the Trilogy it will be, will be something to look forward to, the Sm4sh Machinima I'm making will be a Trilogy and nothing will be confusing because it won't stray off the story.

------

The Machinima (if you haven't read everything already) I'm making will be divided into three parts, ultimately making it into a Trilogy. Each entry to the trilogy will have a main supporting character, but keep in mind that there will only be three entries, all around 15-20 episodes long with a giving length about 8-10mins per episode.

1. PLOT- The Whole Trilogy is based around one plot and it will be the official plot. The events are set 1000 years after a great war between the Goddess of Light and the King of Darkness. When the Goddess of Light defeated the King of Darkness, he promised that he'll break the seal that she has put on him and come back 1000 years later from their time. 1000 years later he is then reincarnated and tries to take back what he has lost. The Triforces.

So as you can see, it sounds serious and nothing so silly, but it will have its moments.

So when I make this Trilogy, look out for these titles.

The Legend of Zelda: Awakening
The Legend of Zelda: Rising
The Legend of Zelda: Falling

Of course I'll let people know when they are out, but just by looking at the titles I'm pretty sure you guys/girls and get a glimpse of what it is bound to be about for each entry.

Isn't this essentially what Vegito posted on the previous page?

Pretty much yeah, I was confused too.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

I'll probably only watch Smash 4 Machinimas if it's something by Tigura, Angelglory and everyone else in Virtual Smash or if Smash King gets a Smash 4 sequel whenever it's done.

 

[the smash nerd]

Isn't this essentially what Vegito posted on the previous page?

Yes.

 

[Canuckduck]

I was thinking about making a "War" themed Machinima for SSB4 Wii U. If anybody wants to help me, could you please contact me? It looks like SSB4 will be perfect for making Machinimas, provided there is a replay function.

Thanks.

Looks strangely familiar

 

[GreenReaperGod]

I've started making Super Smash Flash 2 machinimas to practice. I also have a few early scripts that I've been working on.

It's been official, I WILL be having voice actors.

@ the smash nerd I want credit for that. At least some sort of special thanks. Just don't give yourself the credit.

What editing software are you planning on using?

 

[xxEliteAlicexx]

What editing software are you planning on using?

Sony Vegas.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Wait, @ xxEliteAlicexx , do you also plan on using some of my ideas?

 

[xxEliteAlicexx]

Wait, @ xxEliteAlicexx , do you also plan on using some of my ideas?

Nope, half of it was stuff I already considered and the other half seems based on only a comedy machinima only. Which isn't the case.

 

[Reoyoshi8]

...now with the Mii fighter, you can use them for separate generic characters rather than palette swaps.

 

[the smash nerd]

Sony Vegas.

Yes because Im using Sony Vegas as the editing software for Tales of Smash: Melee
Tales of Smash: Brawl,
and Tales of Smash: 3DS

 

[xxEliteAlicexx]

Yes because Im using Sony Vegas as the editing software for Tales of Smash: Melee
Tales of Smash: X
and Tales of Smash: 3DS

Wait... isn't there already a tales of smash...? Or are you the person that made it?

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Guess you need my "comedic" @ xxEliteAlicexx views on the newcomers?

Um...Yes

oh there already a tales of smash Machinima!

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Um...Yes

Silent (if he talks in the Pac World games then let him talk.)
Here's how I imagine Palutena. She's like the "God" of Tales of Smash. Let characters receive visions of her and guide them. But in the most suspenseful part of the Tales, Palutena comes and helps the protagonist.
You probably won't even use Miis but if you do let the Miis talk or act whatever they're based off of.

For the love of Sakurai, someone please redo this for Smash 4 when it releases on Wii U!

Making a remake of this is one of the reasons I am hyped for the Wii U version.

Regardless of whether or not the game has a replay feature, I have an Elgato! :D

I plan to make lots of Smash Wii U videos.

I will gladly suscribe to your channel then. ^_^ When Smash Bros comes out, I'll make a "Post Machinimas Here" Section for this thread.

I'm currently planning on buying a Dazzle. Just a question though. The TV I play on is an old square TV with crappy quality. Would that effect the recordings?
