Episode 4 is here!!! You can view it here.

Thanks,

Technical Issues

Hey,

So I'm very frustrated now with Pinnacle Studio 12 right now. It keeps screwing up the intro to MLG EXTREME. I swear it's like one issue after another with this program, but it's the best that I've got. Stick with me here and when I find some free time I will fix it.

By the way...the new MLG EXTREME is up now. WE'RE SOOO GAY!!! (watch video here to understand that previous statement).

Thanks,
Scott

Glitches Needed

Hey,

Got a cool Halo glitch that hasn't really been exposed on YouTube? Contact us via YouTube message or something and we'll meet up and take a look at it. If it's good, then we'll film it for Overkill Glitches with you in the episode if you want.

Thanks,
Scott

Welcome to Overkill Glitches!!!

Hey all,

So the promo for Overkill Glitches is up. I will apologize right now for the quality. The opening sequence screwed everything up and I didn't realize how screwed up everything was until I was completely finished with editing. I am a REALLY lazy editor, so I will just leave it as it is. It is still an OK promo, though. You can check it out here. This is a really fun project and I can't wait to start cranking out episodes. We will still be doing MLG EXTREME, too.

See ya,
Scott

New Series Coming Soon!!!

Hey Guys,

A few Xbox LIVE friends and I are making a new series exclusive to ShawtyHullstineFilms. We will be finding tricks and glitches in the Halo games and then make videos about them. Actually, right now as I am tying this, we are scouting out glitches. It is a blast, because we always end up screwing around.

And no, we are not copying off CMNeir. While it's true that we are fans, we believe that we have every right to make trick videos, too.

Anyway, we don't have a name for the show yet, but a promo is being made. You can look forward to it soon.

And this won't be a weekly thing. We'll make an episode whenever we have the time.

Stay tuned!!!

Scott

UPDATE:
Due to a lack of creativity, we have named the show "Overkill Glitches." A promo should be up tomorrow.

Missing In Action

Hey everybody,

I am REALLY, REALLY excited to start "Missing In Action" this summer. I got my hands on some more music by Denny Schneidemesser, too. Every time I get new music I am always inspired to make videos. You cannot have a good Machinima without a good orchestral background. Most amateur Machinimas blast Linkin Park in the background, which always make it look stupid. Anyway, I really believe that if I work hard at it, Missing In Action will be a hit. It's more on the serious side, but my script is pretty solid. M.I.A. is a "lost chapter" in the Halo universe. It is somewhat like the "Forgotten Spartans" but with a whole new twist to it. I only have the first episode written, but I estimate the series will go for about 8 episodes. Hopefully Yobs and Wizzle can give me a big helping hand with it this summer. I estimate that, if all goes to plan, it should be out by July (although, it may be out by June. Our schedules are VERY hectic.) Stay tuned here for more info!!!

Thanks,
Scott

FAQ

Q: Where did you get the name "ShawtyHullstineFilms"
A: To make a long story short, a friend and I (not a cast member from MLG EXTREME) combined our old nicknames to make a YouTube account. It was supposed to be a partner project, but I run the channel and make the videos (so it's just me ((Scott)) that runs ShawtyHullstineFilms). I would love a new YouTube name because ShawtyHullstineFilms sounds kinda gay, but I have too much invested in ShawtyHullstineFilms to make a switch. I like to use SHF as an abbreviation, though.

Q: How do you make your videos?
A: Well first off, you cannot do what I do unless you are able to spend some money. The first thing you need is a capture card. I have a Dazzle DVC 100 that came bundled with Pinnacle Studio 12. For your capture card, you need 3 double-ended female splitters. The male ends go into the Dazzle, and the female ends plug into your Xbox A/V cables and a double ended A/V cable. Your Xbox DOES NOT plug into your TV. Here is an example of what I mean:

Xbox---Dazzle---TV.

Plug in the USB cord from the Dazzle into your computer. The pull up Pinnacle Studio and select the capture/record setting. Make sure your Dazzle is selected from the "Settings" menu. Then, you press record, name your video, and go. When I film MLG EXTREME, I have Audacity open with another microphone around me neck. As soon as the video starts recording, I record my audio. Later on when I go in to edit my video, I have to overlay my voice with the video. If you want to record your friends' voice too, you need to press the Xbox button on your controller, slide over to settings, scroll down to preferences, go to "Audio" and select "play sound from both" or whatever it says. What this means is that you will be able to hear your friends out of your speakers and your headset. Since it is coming out of the speakers, it will be recorded with audio along with your video.

Q: Can I be in MLG EXTREME.
A: Sure. As long as I don't get spammed with messages from you, feel free to add me on Xbox Live and let me know when you want to record. I would really like it if you had a trick or a forge map that we could record, because doing matchmaking can get kind of boring.

Q: What games do you play?
A: Halo. I LOVE Halo, and it has been a passion of mine ever since I got Xbox LIVE. I hate COD, but you might find me there every once in a while.

Q: How did you get the idea of MLG EXTREME?
A: Wizzle and I were playing matchmaking and we decided that we needed to do something for YouTube. What better way to entertain people than to show off how much we suck at Halo? So we named the show "MLG EXTREME" as a joke (if you don't get the joke, MLG=VERY GOOD PLAYERS. We are always joking how we are sooooo MLG, so we named the show "MLG EXTREME" for that reason). So on a cold winter night, the promo was filmed and ShawtyHullstineFilms started a new chapter.

Q: Why do you do what you do?
A: If you haven't noticed, the Halo community is starting to dwindle. The best Machinima directors on YouTube are starting to lose interest in their work. I find this really sad. ShawtyHullstineFilms will be here for a looooong time even when Halo is through. It has been a dream of mine to create a community around my works, and I am starting to do just that. My channel is stuck between "new" phase and "getting up off the ground" phase. As I am typing this I have 32 subscribers. Not much, but it's a start.

Q: What is your favorite TV show?
A: I don't watch a lot of TV (most of my time is spent on video games) but if I had to pick I guess it would be "Lost."

If you have any other questions, please comment on this post with your question.

Thanks,
Scott
