And here it is. Oh well. off to some other forums, machinima-specific, possibly.

you dont get it, while we dont discourage creativity, asking for people to help you with a project when you have NO MATERIAL is just dumb.

if you have a script ready to go and need people share it since you'll have something already to show and thus people might be willing to help...but if you DONT post your material people wont be willing to help

well i haven't finished the script, only the main idea, the ending scene and the first 2 scenes.. if i had the script, i would've gone ahead and posted it. i'll probably post it when im finished writing.

By material he means some actual realisation of your idea; i.e. models, sounds, music, animations, textures, etc.

Material depends on the kind of project being made. For a machinima, we'd want to see scripts and/or storyboards, maybe even some proof-of-concept vids

A good rule I usually follow is never to announce or post anything until I'm about halfway done with it, but that's just me

(also imma lock this thread so that any stuff about other stuff can take place in a seperate thread and we don't muddy this reference thread up with OT material)
