Hello everyone, and welcome to the discussion thread for this machinima, it remains with no name, because we have not been focusing on that, we have been focusing on character development as well as the writing.
We are recruiting
Builders
Actors
Editors
Writers
Co-Directors
If you would like to become an actor it is a fairly simple process, below you will see the script for the trailer. you will read it and choose a character you will take part as, not all characters have a part or are not introduced at this part, there are a total of 12 roles, and they will all be listed below.
Back to the process, we are taking this very seriously, we are hoping to get this on a channel with 60,000 subscribers, we have messaged the director. He will respond asap. to get the part as one of the actors it is simple, record a video of you saying the lines, as you believe the character would say it. Remember it is during a zombie invasion, so everyone will not sound perfect, you must add a little bit of that hurt and depressed emotion for it.
The only characters we are looking for a specific voice for is Nathaniel, Satan and loxen, as well as judas
We would like nathaniel to have a deep toned , scruffy voice, considering he is of the older age. We would like satan to sound like a devil and loxen to sound like a younger version of the devil. We would like Judas to sound like a middle age obnoxious man.
That is all we are mainly leaning towards with voices at the moment, for every other character we have no idea what they will sound like, inspire us with your talent. What would you picture these characters voices as.
Now for builders, we are looking for experienced ones, we need examples of the work you have done, because you will be making a whole city, very detailed and well made. All you need to do is post screenshots or a video below of past things you have built.
For writers we would like a piece of your writing, nothing to big, nothing too small, just to get a taste of what your writing is like, such as romance or horror, this series will contain multiple genres including romance and horror.
We will only release the script for the trailer. We have not revised or edited any other part yet other than this piece.
Please read it carefully.
Thank you

Character Prologues
Nathaniel - Alright, alright, everyone settle down.
Mary – How could anyone calm down, there is an apocalypse happening and you want everyone to calm down!!!
Nathaniel – Fine, tell me this Mary, how do expect to live through this event, how do you expect to survive even a day. We cannot go on yelling and arguing, we can no longer panic. It has happened, the world as we knew it will never be the same, yet there is nothing we can do about it. I will be honest. Probably no one here will live to see the day when these creatures are ridden from this earth, this may take months, this may take years, this may take lifetimes. How do we even know that humanity will live to see the day these hell spawns go back to the dwelling they came from. Odds are none of us will see daylight again; Satan has blotched out the sun. That are these creatures weaknesses, the dark makes them stronger. At least that is what I believe. The light has always been referred to something as holy, something good. While on the other hand Darkness has always been referred to as something that is demoni---
Peter – How can you be sure that this information you are telling us is true?
Nathaniel – Fisherman, where did you get your education?
Peter – I went to the college of merchants.
Nathaniel – What did you learn there?
Peter - We learned how to sell and advertise our livestock to get a profit
Nathaniel – And I do not doubt one bit that you were taught that, I went to the academy of priesthood, there we were taught and shared our love for god and our hatred for the devil, do you question my academy, and do I question yours? Would you rather survive with no hope of there being a god, no hope of ever seeing daylight again? What we must do is settle in; we will be camping here for a while, in the church. I suggest we stay here because this is holy ground, even if there is not a god it makes me feel safe thinking that there is a god, or some heavenly figure watching over us right now. Our first duty as a group is to get to know each other’s story’s, we must learn how everyone reacted when they first saw the zombies rise from the grounds. If we share those stories we will learn each other’s weaknesses and advantages, then I can send everyone on tasks that they are able to complete, without trouble. You, sorry miss I forget your name, what is your profession?
Mary – I know this is a troubling time reverend, and I do not blame you for forgetting my name, it is mary, though we have much more to worry about, we must bar in all the windows, we must gather enough food to feed everyone---
Judas – Sorry, who are you two? Telling us the rules, who voted you as head ****er?
Nathaniel – Sorry what is your name? Judas, you remind me of a character in the bible. So young man, do you have any better ideas, were you schooled on demons, on the bibles, do you know how to bless a room, possibly even bless a god damn cookie. Oops, god’s name in vain. Fine, let’s take a vote, who votes for me to command this group (almost all hands), and who votes for Mr. Judas over here (no hands). … Well, I think we have an answer. Now sorry Miss Mary, though barring in the windows, is our main concern, making sure safety is not risked is key to survival. Excuse me, may the three men in the back please stand.
(Andrew, James and John stand)
All together – yes reverend
Nathaniel - I need you three to bar in the windows, in the corner of the room I have stacked wooden bars, please make sure one of these creatures have no way of entering the church. Now for everyone else, I would like to hear your stories…
I would mainly like to be an actor, but I can also build, and somewhat edit (Not the best though...).
If I had to pick an actor to be, I'd like to be Peter, or Loxen.
I think of myself as a good actor, and I don't screw around while doing it.
So, hopefully you consider letting me in this Machinima
we are letting anyone try out, all you need to do is comment again, and this time link us to a video of you voice acting one of the characters, we have not given a basic outline of the characters because we would like the actors to improvise and with the information given, think of what the characters would sound like
oghgo we do not want to add anyone to our skypes because we would like to have auditions first, from my previous post

Hey man. I would love to try it out. Must i send a video through youtube? or i could just post a SOUND file in hotmail? My computer isn't that good in uploading stuff in youtube..
i'm just gonna make something up like a minecraft zombie short story;
I poked my head out of the old coal mine which i had just ascended from. I looked around and saw that the sun was just about to be hidden from view by the horizon. I needed to get home. I couldn't remember which way my house was, so i used some resources which i had in my backpack to make a compass to point me of in the right direction. It was dark now, I could barely see a thing. Then, i heard footsteps coming from the forest. I stopped and waited with my sword drawn, pulled back ready to strike. A few moments passed and i put my sword down and heard a voice say, "Hey there Steve!"
I sighed in relief that it was just my friend Peter. Me and Peter went way back, all the way to grade school. We had been best friends for along time. We continued in constant laughter and conversation on the way to my house, his house wasn't too far from mine. When we reached my house I said my goodbyes and he went on his way. I opened my door and stepped in, I was tired from mining all day so I put my pickaxe and other items in the chest but i dragged my sword with me to my bed, Just in case of thieves. I turned off the redstone lamp by pulling the lever that I conveniently placed next to my bed. I crawled into my bed and started to dose off, when i heard a urgent knocking on the door and a scream for help. I quickly grabbed my sword and turned on the lamps and ran downstairs and opened the door. When i did a girl flailed her arms and hugged me and started saying thank you. I swung around and kicked the door shut. I tried to stop her from her crying and ranting so she could explain what happened. I could tell she was in a state of shock by the way she was acting. I glanced her over a bit and notice blood on her sleeves. I asked her about it and she said her boyfriend took her out to watch the sunset together and and after the sun set somebody came out of a nearby cave and pounced on him, biting into his neck. She said she tried to pull him away and get the man off of him but he just started to chase after her, until he tripped and fell. Then she came upon my place. I gave her some porkchops and carried her upstairs and put her in my bed. I went back downstairs and got my sword and started watching the doors and windows. I layed down on the couch, and fell asleep not knowing what fate had in store me ahead...
we could use you as a writer, if you are interested, the only part that i would need to alter is the "i did not know what fate had in store for me ahead" and lead that somewhere where steve finds his way to the church and is joined with the other survivors.
Would you like the role as one of our writers, we could use you for the prologues, and official writing
