What is it, anyway?
Okay, so Common Denominator was a Halo machinima project started a few years ago. Me, RelentlessRecusant, and Rotaratilbo were working on the story, and we got some actors together, along with a video/audio guy. We recorded lines, recorded puppet work, and even got a scene together. And then it died. I blame the fact that we started filming before we finished the story, let alone the script. We kept making revisions and kept scrapping work.
One of the big problems was that we couldn't decide what kind of character to make the protagonist. We talked about making it like 24, but I wanted David Palmer and they wanted Jack Bauer. So we went with Jack Bauer. Then it was like, they wanted him to be a psychopath. So we wrote him as a psychopath. Then it was too dark. Revision, revision, revision.
Anyway, after years of inactivity, I started the project going again with a comic version of the story. Some of the comic uses the exact script, but a lot of it is my own work based loosely on my original concept for the show. I posted this comic on Halo Fanfiction Wiki, but at this point the images are dead. Did Wikia not like what I was doing, or are they just glitchy? No matter, I'll post them here, where it's more stable than Wikia. That's basically why I made this blog, as well as to post what I can remember of the machinima project, because as disastrous as it was we had a good time.
