Yes, I would love to. And I have many ideas. The latest being a machinima based on the "The Last Guardian" book by Jeff Grubb.

I really want to see machinima go back to what it used to be during 2004-2005. Now it's just boring shite videos of people showing how to camp in MW2 and doing bad jokes.

I've made a few in Spore but their not voiced or anything, I don't have a capture card so each one is done in roughly an hour, I've made a script for one in SSBB,Uncharted 2 and I'm thinking of getting Just Cause 2. My thinking is with machinima is that if you have to spend actual money in making machinima then it's just BEYOND me.

also, I've been thinking of doing a few lets plays but I don't like the idea of playing it and suddenly suck whenever I hit the record button

Yes, I did think about it. I would've used Halo because that has the easiest in-game videoing system. I was never bothered due to not being bothered and being too cheap for video editing software and I could never find a place that sold capture cards.

The basic story was a super soldier who escapes from a research facility and ends up getting involved with a small group of mercenaries. A few years on a job leads back to the facility where he was created. I forgot the rest of the story during my time becoming less bothered with it.

The hardest part is forcing yourself to get to them.

I've still not finished my LP of Serious Sam, mainly (aside from the obvious - it has trouble running) because they take SOOOOO long to do.
Really. Rendering a 10 minute video and then uploading it is a *****.

If you ever do it, make sure you have some free time.

All I've done so far is filmed some stuff from San Andreas, WoW and Medieval 2: Total War and whacked together a couple of bad videos from that. I have got a script for a potential Halo 3 one on my hard drive somewhere, but that probably won't get used. Lack of voice actors is the real issue, which has led to me experimenting with making a silent movie of sorts using Morrowind.

So far the only video I'm actually proud of would be a video that started out as a stunt video but wound up becoming a bunch of random stuff thrown together to make a San Andreas tribute of sorts:

Yes I have, and I am, in fact. I'm partnered with M.com, so it's all good for me. Mid-production on a piece right now, and playing with a few concepts for the next piece.

so many ideas gone undone and ive forgotten most if not all. I remember this one though since I regularly play left 4 dead 2. Its to provide a very very unlikely explanation for the zombie apocalypse for the series that is in the form of dark humor. If I ever get around to it, I would not want to spoil the idea but if I do give up on the idea, I will surely post it somewhere here so at least it can go seen/heard.
