Just had the idea bouncing in my head ever since I saw that dance video. Couldn't help but wonder what the Mech-anics (see what I did there?) would think if they saw the stupid things most of us are doing to these multi ton machines on a daily basis.

Yeah, so I used a clip from the Official Trailer... Please don't sue me. I'll take it down if it's all kinds of illegal, but it's parody, so I think i'm safe.

Yeah can't disagree with you much there. This was my first video like this that I've ever made.
Plus, there's a couple of things holding back any really good story-line true machinema:

1. No sandbox available. It would be nice to have a place where few people can just hang out and 'act'/test weapons/configs/etc... If you try to film in a match, you only have 15 minutes, and that's if you can get everyone else to just say:

'Ok you guys do your thing we'll just pretend like your not here... Oh, and not kill eachother or cap for 15 minutes while you film....'

I don't feel right about asking 16 people to stand around for 15 minutes just for me to play pretend-time.


2. There is no footage of people talking in anything they've given us so far. Could re-use some old MechCommander footage, but I wanted to keep it MW:O only... Probably will never get this, so we will most likely end up with Mechs talking to Mechs if problem #1 gets figured out.

Thanks everyone else for your praise! Was a labor of love... Or was it a love of labor?... Something... Something... Darkside.

Edited for reasons...

LOL, Yeah I play it at work sometimes just to see the look from people:

'I know that song, and I don't know why?....'

Good musical taste, I was getting ready to blast with hate. Then I put on my headphones and fell in line. Props for using the Beastie Boys!!
