Hey Everyone,

 Let me start by introducing myself, my name is Kootra, and I just recently signed up here at the forums after being a huge Mass Effect fan ever since the first game.

 For the past month or so, I have been working on a machinima series entirely done in the Mass Effect universe.
Here is a Link to the pre-quel/teaser I recently made:



Updated:
Teaser #2


 I am nearing completion on the first episode, which will air shortly after the second Trailer I will be releasing soon.

 Since this is a place where people know Mass Effect, I can give a brief outline of what will be going on. The series will center around a Veteren Blue Suns Merc who loses one of his close friends. He then has to decide whether getting revenge is a better path than abondoning his sworn duty to the Suns. I am trying to keep from refrencing the main Mass Effect story, but this takes place some time during the 2 years Shepard is dead.

  Hopefully people around these forums like it, I promise I will keep this post updated with links whenever there are developments or I release something concerning the series. If enough interest is shown, I could probabaly set up one of those group things to keep people updated.

  Thanks,

     Kootra

I'm guessing you had to create your own maps and such on the PC version of ME2 in order to do this? Or are you using another program entirely? It looks good of course. I can't wait to check it out. Just wondering what you are using in order to create the series.

[Shazzammer2]

hrmm rather confusing but ... interested .

[soren145]

Cool idea, I'll be watching this.

[Omicrone]

I'm interested in the tools you're using to make this. I'm eager to learn animation (even though I'm just a beginner) and I think creating Mass Effect scenes the way you're doing it is the coolest thing ever... You could immortalize your Shepard if you make something worth watching.



I'll definitely be following this.

very interestting, i am really curious to what program you used to create this, it seems like everything comes from me2(animations,models) but i haven't found any modding tool around here.

[Zanramon]

Is it from Gmod?

[Kootra]

Glad to see some interest!



And no, this is not done in Gmod, the process is very extensive in a bit more complicated than I would care to explain. Stay tuned.

I was hoping for more information than that

Your machinima series looks interesting, can't wait to see it. I'd like to make a suggestion - how about making your protagonist a bit visually different from the other Blue Sun Mercs to make him stand out? I admit I got confused who was who in the trailer.

[Zanramon]

When is it out?

[Kootra]

Well, It isn't a huge secret what program I'm using. Here is a hint: What engine does ME2 Run on?



I have the Second trailer all done, still waiting on one thing so I can finish up Episode 1. So expect it within the next 2 weeks for sure, maybe sooner.

I was allready thinking that would be the only option to create custom maps, anyway i think i am going to try something the same by myself, just for private use.

[Kootra]

Just updated the original post with the newest teaser. Enjoy.

or view it Here.

Should be finishing up the final product within the week.

[kidbd15]

saw the first episode... it's amazing... keep it up.

[AntiChri5]

Yeah not bad at all.



Hate to provide nothing but negativity but.......the asari's voice......hated it. Maybe its just personal preference though.

[Arhka]

Voices sound interesting, and it looks like this is going to play out really nicely. However, I think on those helmets, they have lights that turn on and off when it wearer is speaking to indicate voices.

[Comrade Bork]

Hate to Necro a thread, but rather than start a new one to voice my opinion, figured I would just go here. I watched the trailers and the first episode, and they were great. Although, I do admit the Asari's voice was a bit off, but other than that, really really good. I hope Kootra is still working on this.

EDIT: Here's a link to the first Episode for everyone's convenience.

Hi Kootra. I think Reprisal is brilliant, with high production values. You have obvious skill as a director, editor, and map builder. My favourite aspects were the opening battle, Freya (including her voice) - she comes across as more exotic than most asari in the games, and was a really nice touch - and the excellent post-processing work, like making the flashbacks dreamy-looking. Also good use of the Mass Effect music.

The story is interesting, though hopefully has some twists to distinguish it from a typical revenge quest.

But yeah, it's because of Reprisal that I'm taking my first steps into machinima. I got a new PC, downloaded UDK, and am learning to use it. I hope to make a prequel series to my fanfiction, Nos Astra Nights. And I aspire to making it as good as Reprisal.

I look forward to more episodes of Reprisal.
