Master Studios Update 7 coming soon!

2010-10-05T11:55:00.000-05:00

Hey all fans of Master Studios,

I know it has been awhile, and well….there has been a lot going on, however I have a new Xbox and I plan on returning to my machinima-making starting off with the release of Master Studios Update 7, which will becoming out in a week, so keep your eyes peeled, for everything will come to light!

Working Things Out

2010-07-21T23:32:00.002-05:00

Hey all you Master Studios Fans,

I know it has been awhile since I've updated the blog, and well....done anything, but that is because just when I think my machinima woes are over, my xbox decides to break on me. No, it isn't RROD. Actually I wish it was RROD because then I could send in to Microsoft and have them fix it under the extended warranty, so until either my xbox gets the RROD or I get a new xbox my machinima-side of things will once again grind to a halt, which sucks for all of us from the people that are involved making them to you, the ones that watch them, and hopefully enjoy them. However that doesn't mean I am completely silent, I am still making parodies and I just finished Vegeta & Piccolo Episode 5: "Goku's Secret" Part 1. It depicts humorously what is truly the source of Goku's unbelievable power. Also it is a good chance to hear me do a horrible Goku voice.

So check that out below:

Vegeta & Piccolo Episode 5: Goku's Secret Part 1

Also, if you may recall, I am part of a gaming podcast group called Wanted For Gaming, and we just released our 20th show, which covers our thoughts about E3 so tune in here:

Wanted For Gaming 20: Post-E3 Show

However don't worry too much I will be releasing MSU 7 soon updating on what has happened and what I plan (with a little bit of your help I hope) to do about it. In the meantime I will try to figure out how to do some PC-based machinima. Keep your fingers crossed!

New Releases! YAY!!! And a change in course.

2010-05-14T15:54:00.003-05:00

Hello Master Studios Fans,

Some good news, I've made two new videos. One of them is a Hitler Parody, and the other another episode of Vegeta and Piccolo. I know I know...you are probably yelling at the screen right now, "Hey you fuck! What about the machinima?!!" Well, I am revamping it a bit. As in reordering things so I can actually get some new machinima out, and hopefully if it is good enough then I can get people for the main projects I want to do, so my main focus right now is making "Master Studios Shorts" and hopefully if I get picked up, or at least attract some attention from the machinima community, I can a dedicated team up and running for the other stuff.

Here are the links to the new videos:

Vegeta & Piccolo Episode 4: Piccolo's Accident

Hitler Makes a Prank Call

Also for you Hudson Creations fans, check out Elite-O-Sexual, Hudson has brought back a glimpse of what Machinima.com use to be, and perhaps bring respect back to this art from as well. Enjoy this hilarious video from our friend Lewis Hudson!

2010-04-30T12:29:00.002-05:00

Greetings Master Studios Fans!

You may remember not too long ago I began making Hitler Parodies, and well if you've been to youtube lately you may have heard how hitler parodies are being blocked everywhere, and true this was only to keep my editing skills sharp and what not while I waited on my machinima people to do their stuff. However, I have joined the fight against this outrageous injustice, and the only hitler vid that hasn't been blocked was the Hitler got Noob-tubed, however I've uploaded these videos to parodybox, a safe haven for parody makers like myself, so check them all out (if you haven't already or if you want to revisit them):

Hitler Parodies on ParodyBox

Speaking of machinima stuff, okay I have no idea why it is taking so long for my voice actors and composers to get there jobs done, I've sent emails asking "WTF?!" (well in a much cleaner venacular) However, since I've ran out of ideas for hitler parodies and I know most of you are here for the machinima, while I wait on these people for my big projects like Sentinel and New Blood, I will start popping out Master Studios Shorts, which if you recall is basically in the same vein as Bra1nlessLobotomy's FUBAR was back in the day, however with different ideas and so forth. So keep your eyes out for those in the very near future.

News...thats it

2010-04-10T21:55:00.002-05:00

Yo

New Blood has finished casting, but we are not tell you stuff

Getting the Ball Rolling

2010-04-02T00:52:00.002-05:00

Okay, some more good news Master Studios Fans:

As you might have gleemed from the MS twitter page, we have a composer to produce original music for my machinima. Plus he and his friends voice act, and we are currently in discussion about everything, so if all goes well we might have found a strong group of voice actors that could be the future of this machinima crew.

Website in the works and new Voice Actor

2010-03-11T15:15:00.002-06:00

Some good news Master Studios Fans,

I am in the process of designing Master Studios' very own website, just a small stepping stone given that:

A.) I have no money

B.) I don't know $#!+ about coding (or at least enough to make a good website)

So I am using a free-service site called Wix where I can easily just drag and drop the features I need. I will post the link to it once it is complete. Spring Break begins this weekend so I probably will have ample time to do that and work on machinima as well.

Also I got a new voice actor, hopefully he is far more reliable than some of the others. If so, I might have to chain him up so he won't go any where. So expect to hear him soon!

Two New Uploads!

2010-03-10T01:41:00.002-06:00

Hey Master Studios Fans,

While I am waiting (STILL!!!) for the lines of my va's to get in, I used my spare time to make the third episode of "Vegeta and Piccolo". In this episode, Vegeta and Piccolo watch the Big game and an explosive conversation unfolds from the results. Check it out!

Vegeta & Piccolo Episode 3: "Disa-Portered"

Secondly, this next video has been sitting on my computer for months and I finally decided to release it. I've finally fell into the Hitler Parody fad, and made one of my own. Again it was made months ago so the topic may be a bit out of date, however check it out anyway and tell me what you think. Rate, comment and if you like it tell your friends!

Hitler Parody: Auto Tuner

Give a hand to...

2010-03-01T19:53:00.002-06:00

Some Great news for you Master Studios Fans!

One of our affiliate/partner groups had one of their videos featured on Machinima.com's youtube channel, and who is it? It's Aidann! Our beloved Aidann who lends his voice to so many lovable characters, and continues his own work as head of Lopiky Productions. His latest short "New Pet" was featured on M.com's youtube channel, so check it out and throw down some stars to show our support for Aidann's talent:

New Pet on M.com's Youtube!

Also, I am waiting on the final line packets to reach my email, so I can finish remastering Sentinel Episodes 4-7 and then begin on the new episodes, so expect those to be out soon.

Thanks,
Jaggeta

We are the World Sing-along

2010-02-28T02:42:00.002-06:00

Hello Master Studios Fans;

I have a surprise for you! Secretly in the darkness of my studio...okay! my fucking dorm room, for four days I forged what, in my opinion, has to be the biggest project I've done so far, and I am talking about "We are the World Sing Along" It is in dedication to the World25 movement to help Haiti. While I may not have perfect pitch in this video, I poured my heart and soul into this piece. Check it out:

We are the World Sing Along

Please Rate, Comment, and Donate if you can to this cause, because we need to come together one as a global community to start caring for one another regardless of where our borders lie.

Thanks,

Jaggeta

Update now on Machinima.com and other news...

2010-02-17T14:29:00.002-06:00

Hey all of you Master Studios Fans!

Immediately after posting the update on Youtube I went to M.com, haven of havens for machinima makers, to upload the update there, and now three days later it has finally been activated, so if you didn't see it on youtube for whatever reason, or if you just want to watch it again with Machinima.com as your background then click the links below (Also, provided is links to download the update from the M.com site)

Part I: Stream | Download

Part II: Stream | Download

Secondly, The Wanted For Gaming Podcast 09, the most epic podcast to date, featuring yours truly, has been released, which brings me to more news. After such an amazing podcast, I have been added as a permanent member to the Wanted For Gaming podcasting crew. Which is big, and might be a funnel for Master Studios as well. So to check out this awesome podcast I was talking follow the link below:

Wanted For Gaming Podcast 09: Gary's Birthday Show!

Finally, I, with the help of my brother (known to you as Guardian) am in the works of creating new banners for each of series to lure....I mean attract more viewers. Of course the first banner we are working on is for the Sentinel, and you will see it gracing the top of this blog in a few weeks, so get excited once again, as this will don the return of Master Studios as a machinima-producing powerhouse!

Miracle of Miracles!

2010-02-14T11:00:00.002-06:00

Hey some more good news fans!

Remember a couple of posts ago I said that the master studios forums was dead? well, it turns out, at least from what I can gather, that Internet Explorer was just being a bitch, and when I went to the forum (by accident really I was trying to get to here) it came up just as it was, so this is what I am going to do. I'm archiving all the topics and renovating it a bit, and hopefully find some better skins and such. So if you are a member, please be patient as I renovate it, but if you aren't then you can either sign up now, or wait until it's done and sign up then

Master Studios Update 6 is out!

2010-02-13T10:37:00.002-06:00

Hello all of you Master Studios Fans!

Today is a great day for Master Studios, as we kick off our re-awakening with the release of Master Studios Update 6! In the update we discuss the direction that Master Studios will be going, as well as some other exciting news and events. Unfortunately, because of Youtube length limits I had to split the update into two parts, so here they are! Check them out!

Master Studios Update 6 Part 1

Master Studios Update 6 Part 2

As a part of the re-awakening we have started the Master Studios podcast channel, which will simply contain the audio-only version of this update and updates we give in the future

Master Studios Podcast Channel and other things...

2010-02-08T15:07:00.003-06:00

Hello Master Studios Fans,

To start the revival of the Master Studios I've created the Master Studios Podcast Channel. This will contain, in the style of radio, the audio from the Master Studios Updates, and plus any thing else I might find important for you the viewers...or in this case listeners need to know. There is only one episode up right now, and it is a test podcast, not really any information but just to break in the whole podcast thing. Check it out here:

Master Studios Podcast

In other podcast news, I will be appearing as a guest on Wanted For Gaming podcast next week, and there is a possibility that I might become a permanent member of the crew, but nothing is for certain, but keep your hopes up!

And if you've been following my tweets, the countdown to the official release of Master Studios Update 6 is five days away! So get pumped!

Thanks!
Jaggeta

Forum Dead!

2010-01-27T18:00:00.002-06:00

Some bad news Master Studios Fans:

Today, I ventured over to Master Studios Forum, because I was going to revamp it to coincide with our re-opening, but to my surprise it is gone! But not to worry, once we get into releasing machinima again, I will make a new, perhaps even better, one! So it might have been a blessing in disguise, however, I am no forum creator, so if any of you know how to make forums, or know someone who does, please leave a comment. Thanks and everything will be hunky-dory in no time!

Master Studios Update 6

2010-01-20T13:28:00.002-06:00

Hello Master Studio Fans,

I know it has been awhile since I or Master Studios in general has done anything in the way of machinima, but that dry spell will soon come to an end, provided however that I can get the rest of our crew out of hibernation. And to start things off I will be posting Master Studios Update 6 in the coming days to explain everything plus share what we have in store in the future. This is necessary for two reasons:

1.) Obviously, I need to let you know what is going on in MS
2.) But also, this will help me get back into the groove of making machinima again

Also, I want to thank Lewis Hudson for posting to ths blog when I wasn't able to. But everything is back to normal, and the internet in my dorm is good to go, so we'll be making machinima again!

So keep an eye out for MSU 6 to start off the MS machinima season!

Hudson Update

2010-01-16T05:39:00.002-06:00

Hey
I am going to say this so consider this as an update. First of all, I am going to explain why we cannot make machinima fast enough.

1. Possible lack of actors, both voice and body. Master Studios and Hudson Creations highly relies on the general machinima community to help us out. This includes voices and body acting. It is unfortunate we have been cut down to size since Brainless Lobotomy and NIA Studios have either been AFK of shut down, so we are in need of help. You can help us by offering your services to us.

2 Jaggeta's lack of time. Bot J and I are in college, but J has to, i think, live there, so he has a strict schedule to go by, and rarely has any free time. This is also backed up by the lack of internet, since i heard the schools internet is either not working or slow.

This is why we need your help. If we have the voice and body actors, we can get things done quickly. That way, if we need to film on XBL, you are there to help us. If we want some filming done, you can be there. I am not sure what time Jaggetta is in, but the chances are that I cannot help because I am in merry old 'ngland. Its hard enough to contact my american voice actors, but after the hardest part then people will know what style Jaggetta goes by.

Finally, if you are a follower of Hudson Creations, then big news is afoot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JolW0keQBLY

I hope you come to help us out.

Love from Lewis Hudson
Director of HC. Writer for MS

Merry Xmas

Vegeta and Piccolo Episode 2: Recoome

2009-12-08T14:02:00.003-06:00

Hello Master Studios Fans,

I have just released the second episode of Vegeta and Piccolo. In this one Vegeta and Recoome face off. Recoome instead offers peace and ice cream, but there is something missing that pisses Vegeta off.

Here's the link:

Vegeta and Piccolo Episode 2: Recoome

Feel free to comment and rate. I hope you enjoy

Some Good News at last!

2009-12-02T21:40:00.002-06:00

Hello Master Studios Fans,

Remember a couple of months ago when we hit 50 subscribers, and I said that I was making a video to celebrate it? Well, now all the vocals are in, and all I need now is to act it out, which will require a maximum of 6 people, so if you wish to help either comment here, or send me an email at masterstudios@ymail.com

Happy Turkey Day

2009-11-26T15:53:00.001-06:00

Hello

As a Brit, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but I thought I would say so since I am a nice guy. We are still recruiting for New Blood, as we are going through a redevelopment program to benefit us and you

War Stories, now with Voice!

2009-11-12T14:22:00.002-06:00

As I said, eventually I'd make War Stories that includes voicing. It's the same one as before except some narrative to go along with it, so tell me what you think:

War Stories with Voices!

Happy Halloween +1 and Talks

2009-11-01T08:49:00.002-06:00

I understand that I should have done this yesterday, but I was too busy egging the Royal Mail post boxes, as my order HASNT ARRIVED

Happy Halloween +1

Now its my turn

MERRY CHRISTMAS (I wanted to beat the shops (UK)/Stores (US) to it this year.

Right, now for some news.

Hudson Creations (my group) is currently in talks with Master Studios (This heaven) in a deal. HC would like MS to help us in acting, body and/or voice. MS will be credited with their help, and in return, we will give them a helping hand with editing.

Thanks for reading

A New Machinima falls from the sky!

2009-10-21T00:53:00.002-05:00

Hey there Master Studios Fans,

Some wonderful news, my first new machinima video in weeks. Granted, this machinima was never planned for, it sort of fell from the sky.

It's called War Stories:

It's an Empire: Total War machinima that follows my nation (Prussia) through the campaign (though it will primarily depict the battles). The first one is kind of crude, but it was made in a hurry. Future chapters will be made smoother and I will probably add in some vocals to spruce it up a tad. The great think about this machinima is that it is relatively easy to make. The only outside help I'd need would be voice acting, so even if I can't find time to do the main schedule of machinima, I can make these fairly quickly to at least fill the void until I can finish the major projects. Please tell me what you think about it, here is the link:

War Stories, Prussian Chronicles: Chapter 1 - Battle of Warsaw

Wish us Luck

2009-10-14T20:51:00.002-05:00

There is hope for us yet, Master Studios Fans;

As I was prowling the Machinima.com forums, I noticed an announcement (view full topic here
Machinima Announcement )

The jist of the announcement is that they created a group called MachniMad. What this group does is allow machinima directors to submit their work and they review it, and if they like it well enough that director will become a part of the Machinima Directors program, so obviously I jumped at the opportunity, and I submitted three videos:

If I Was a Gangsta Episode 1 (which has a total of 4,000 views on M.com)
Trapped aLIVE Episode 1
The Sentinel Episode 1

And if they like them, Master Studios will then be taken under the wing as a Machinima Director group, so everyone wish us luck as this is a big opportunity for everyone.

Bad News

2009-10-13T12:44:00.001-05:00

Yes, its more bad news
We have just lost our composer. That means we will need to hunt another one down, or we will have to go to the free soundtrack or various other websites for help.

Love MS

Yay or Nay :- Brainless Lobotomy Funeral

2009-10-02T15:20:00.000-05:00

Hey everybody
We here at Master Studio's realised that we couldn't keep up to date with you with some of our latest info. I think it is from J's (our boss) lack of interwebzz. Just in case it takes wee too long to update, I will be updating you with all the info I can get. This is for the benefit of you (so you don't have to wait for years for a post) and the benefit of me (so I can improve on my writing)

Good and Bad News

2009-09-30T13:08:00.002-05:00

Hey Master Studios Fans,

I have some good and bad news concerning Master Studios productivity

First the bad news, due to time constraints (school) I will only be able to make one to new videos every other week, most of them are part of the remastering project, so I can re-establish my actor base so I can actually do new stuff.

Second, the good news, I have four nearly complete items that will be released in the very near future:

1.) The "We Hit 50!" video (after a small rewrite)
2.) Master Studios Shorts 1
3.) MSU 6
4.) Master Studios Promo 2

Now, The Promo of course is to re-vigorate the fan base, re-invent our image a bit, and renovate our style. Most of the pieces within the Promo will be scenes from upcoming works like New Blood, IIWG and Out of Apocalypse. However a small portion of it will be gimmicks to entice more viewers, but only I will know which will be which, *evil laugh*

Also, I will make a memorium video honoring Bra1nless Lobot0my and his works, now that he has retired from Machinimaking. So keep your eyes glued to YT and you'll all of these appear right before your eyes!

Yes, I'm still alive, with some important news.

2009-08-26T14:05:00.005-05:00

Hello Master Studios Fans,

Just let you know I am still alive. "Yeah? Who cares, what about the machinima!!" you must be thinking. Well, I should have announced this beforehand, but I have moved into a dorm on campus, and right now, the internet for my private computer (I'm making this blog post on one of the college's computers) is non-existent right now, so production for anything new is on ice yet again. However, the IT people at my college is expected to come by my room sometime tomorrow to install it, so I should be able to get caught up this weekend on somethings.

Now, speaking of new, I am coming up with two new series:

1.) Master Studios Shorts

As the name suggests, each episode will consist of a bunch of funny, non-plot driven comedy skits and scenes. Now, what I plan to do to make this as unique as possible, is that anyone in the audience can submit their own skits and if they are good (and not too vulgar) then I'll put them in the following episode, then towards the end of the first season, I'll have a Shorts Award show, with different categories with specific prizes for the winners.

2.) Out of Apocalypse

This machinima will be a Mass Effect and Fallout 3 hybrid. A Drama/Action Machinima.

The story is about when planet Earth was decimated by a huge asteroid, however conspiracy and some unanswerable questions point to an alien attack. On the planet, one determined male survivor searches for answers in the desolate ruins of Washington D.C.. In space, a brazen female commander, scowers the galaxy in search of proof and if it is found bring the attackers to justice.

What's unique about this, at least unique to Master Studios, is that this will be first machinima that features a starring female role which is rare in machinima.

-----------------------
However, these two will not premier at least until the first episode of New Blood is complete. Which, will be the first thing in production once internet is restored and I can refocus my actors.

Also, The If I Was a Gangsta Series will have a major rewrite. Basically, the rewrite will include the major gap of the story between Episode 2 and Episode 3. So this means, I'll be using the Original Saint's Row for Season 1, and Saint's Row 2 for Season 2 (with Episode 3 as the opening episode) and so on.

Up and running....again

2009-07-28T13:27:00.002-05:00

Hello Master Studios Fans,

Just when it seems I can start making machinima again, something happens, and this last time, it was my xbox mic: It broke. But now, a couple of weeks later, I have a new one so I have everything I need to start machinimaking again, so keep your eyes out for some new stuff coming soon!

WE HIT 50!

2009-06-29T19:46:00.002-05:00

Great News Master Studios Fans!

Today, we made history! We hit the 50-subs mark on youtube! This is our first step in getting recognized. Who is our fifthieth subscriber? Someone that goes by the name elcoletto117, and I have offered him one of my unused one-month subscription cards to thank him for this historic moment. Also, we'll throwing down an awesome MSU to celebrate with a surprise guest!

Snuffulafuges and Friends

2009-06-11T13:50:00.003-05:00

Hey Master Studios Fans,

Some good news, our good friend Aidann, has been secretly making a series some of you may know as "Snuffalufugus and Friends" and he just uploaded the third episode to our Master Studios channel so go check it out:

Snuffulufuges and Friends, Episode 3

Also, Episode 3 of the Sentinel, which is part two of the Remastered Episode 2, "Escape to Paradise Valley" has been uploaded so go check that out as well:

The Sentinel Episode 3

The Sentinel Episode 2 Remastered

2009-06-07T13:26:00.002-05:00

Hello Master Studios Fans,

Another piece of the Remastering Project has been completed. The Sentinel Episode 2, Escape to Paradise Valley, however, due to length constrictions, I had to split this into a two parter, so The Sentinel Episode 2 is part one and the next one (The Sentinel Episode 3) is part two. So without further ado, here is:

The Sentinel Episode 2

Almost there

2009-06-01T01:36:00.002-05:00

Good News Master Studios Fans,

I have worked on 75% of the first episode of New Blood, and in a week or two I expect to complete it, edit it and then release it on youtube and M.com. I know it's been awhile, but I feel that with the release of New Blood, that Master Studios will get the resurgence and attention it needs to thrive and to continue on as a prominent machinima group.

After New Blood, work will be done for the Sentinel Episode 7, and Trapped aLIVE episode 2, then IIWG 4 and AUW 2 and from there on I'll finish out the first season of the Sentinel, then work from there.

Master Studios dusting off the cobwebs

2009-05-10T00:43:00.002-05:00

Okay, Master Studios Fans:

I've been busy (school) or sick the last couple of weeks, which put a real damper on the whole "pumping out machinima like bush pumps oil" plan, rehearsal will start two weeks from today, and we'll begin working on New Blood and Sentinel first, and IIWG next and so on...

MachiniZine

2009-04-23T08:14:00.002-05:00

Hey Master Studios Fans!

You remember Heretant? The creator of MachinimaTV? Well, he's trying something different. He's come up with MachiniZine, an online magazine dedicated to machinima. Now unlike MachinimaTV, MachiniZine has some notable people helping out. Of course I have offered my services and at the moment I have a position as a machinima reviewer. The first deadline is Monday, and I'm already excited about it. This couldn't come at a better time, because right now Bra1nlessLobot0my and I are about to start making a machinima review series where we review popular machinima as well as little known machinimas. Of course, our first episode of this series would cover super-popular machinima such as Hard Justice, Pregame Lobby, Matchmaking and Phil, so we can hopefully score some points with M.com and if we are lucky get featured. Now as I said the timing of this MachiniZine couldn't be more perfect. This will allow me to write the review before hand, and already have it done where I can use it for the video. Once the first issue is released I will post a link here and on the sidebar so you can easily access it.

Master Studios Update 5 and other news

Hey Master Studios Fans!

The first piece of NEW machinima I've made in....three months since I got my xbox back has been released, and it is Master Studios Update 5! Basically, it brings you up to date on what I and other Master Studios members have been working on, so check it out here:

Master Studios Update 5

Also, a couple of things that is not in the update.

One-- Brainless Lobotomy and I are doing a collaborative project where we review machinimas, and our premier episodes (the first two or three) we'll be reviewing machinimas from M.com's director corp. Machinimas such as "Hard Justice", "Phil" and a few others.

Two-- We are a hair away from getting a house composer. Basically what that means is someone who will compose music for Master Studios and only Master Studios.

Three-- The Recruitment ad is nearly complete, I just need to add my lovely voice to it.

So be on the look out for that.

Changes and Progress

2009-04-19T02:16:00.003-05:00

Alright Master Studios Fans,

Great news! I'm about halfway through the remastering project, So far I have remastered

The Sentinel Episode 1 Click Here
Trapped aLIVE Episode 1 Click Here

Now, it seems like only two, but it's a bit deceiving. The new Trapped aLIVE Episode 1 use to be Trapped aLIVE Episodes 1 & 2, so basically as far as TaL is concerned, all episodes have been remastered. Now, you may have also noticed that I am using "episode" instead of "megasode". While the latter is more interesting, it's got to go. So instead of two-part "megasodes" there are just going to be single episodes.

Looking forward, Master Studios Update 5 will be released tomorrow, which will have more detailed and entertaining information about what's going on. Also, simultaneous with the release of MSU 5 will be a recruitment ad for voice actors and such for Master Studios, which is a joint ad for Master Studios and Brainless Lobotomy. Also, The Sentinel Episode 7, Trapped aLIVE 2 (used to be 3), If I Was a Gangsta 4 and An Unknown World 2 will be released real soon along with the first episode of the new series: New Blood written by Lewis Hudson

I have this feeling that Master Studios is about to hit it big. I don't know exactly when, but I can feel that its going to be soon.

New Machinimas coming soon and other plans

2009-04-02T10:10:00.004-05:00

Hello Master Studios Fans,

We have a couple of new machinima projects on the horizon. Lewis Hudson has sent me a script he wrote. It is a halo machinima that tells the story of a new arrival on Xbox live, the entire season has already been planned out, all we have do to is film it and voice it. However, this will probably be put on hold (outside of a teaser/trailer) until the first season of The Sentinel is finished, which has three megasodes left.

Speaking of the Sentinel, each megasode will probably be shorten since the end credits won't last as long. In fact after remastering I am hoping to reduce them to regular one part episodes instead of two part megasodes, even though I do like that word.

Anyway, back to talking about upcoming machinima. I'm hoping to get money to buy Fallout 3 for my xbox 360, and make a new action series. However, the Fallout 3 machinima won't begin production until this summer.

All of this will be reiterated in an upcoming MSU. Also, we will be alternating through machinimas that way things won't get overloaded, and plus following LH's cue, writing seasons in their entirety instead of one episode at a time, that way we can make the individual ones quicker, and thereby releasing them quicker. So this is how we are going to do it:

1.) Once the first season of The Sentinel is finished, the Sentinel series will be put on hiatus (meaning no new writing for it for a while).
2.) With the Sentinel out of the way, I will concentrate on LH's series and IIWG
3.) Seeing how IIWG (unless making LH's series is easier) season 1 will finish first, I will then fill that slot with Trapped aLIVE
4.) When LH's first season is done, then I'll switch that slot with AUW
5.) I expect AUW season 1 and TaL season 1 to finish at the same time, so

6.)then start The Sentinel Season 2, and IIWG season 2, and no other machinima will be worked on until these two are finished.
7.) LH's season two (if he writes one), AUW season 2
8.) TaL season two, and the Fallout 3 machinima season 1

Of course there will be MSU's thrown in in between each. However I already have IIWG episode 4, AUW episode 2, and TaL Episode 3 planned out, so hopefully, I'll be able to release that at the same time as the Sentinel Megasode 4. Again this stuff will be touched on in the upcoming MSU. Also, along with this MSU we will be doing (depending on if the rest of the MSU is too long) a machinima review on a few new machinimas, and some classics to be released either as one video or as a separate video from the MSU.

If I was a Gangsta: Episode 1 REMASTERED

2009-03-29T11:12:00.002-05:00

Alright Master Studios Fans,

The first remastered work, If I Was a Gangsta episode 1, has been uploaded to youtube. As you may notice. NO MORE DISPLAYS!!! YAY!!! plus a previously deleted scene has been added in. So check it out!

If I was a Gangsta: Episode 1--Remastered!

Remastering Project

2009-03-03T12:51:00.002-06:00

Hey there, Master Studios Fans:

In case you haven't heard or if you forgot, my xbox is dysfunctional right now, so I am unable to make any new machinima episodes or even kick noob ass, however, I thought of something I can do to make the time without my xbox go by quicker, and still benefit my machinima. What I am going to do is remaster all the old machinima I've done (pre-Vegas ones). By remaster I mean redo everything. My editing prowess is hundreds of times better then it was when I first began, so I will rework every episode using Vegas, and hopefully I can get the voices remade too as some of them were poor as well. In particular for the Sentinel I've been working on an intro sequence, and hopefully with the help of Craig Kesicke, I'll have a totally original score for the Sentinel series. As for Saint's Row, I've figured out how to get rid of those displays without having to cover them up, so that will be the main focus there however, I will do some minor re-editing and re-voicing there as well (by which I mean, get other people to help this time around). Trapped alive will just be retooled in Vegas, and An Unknown world will also get the same treatment as Saint's Row. The MSU's will remain untouched as there is no point in revamping old news. Okay, wish me luck, as it will probably take Craig Kesicke sometime to write a score, I'll be saving the Sentinel for last.

Master Studios TV Moved

2009-02-16T13:27:00.003-06:00

Hey Master Studios Fans:

Want to watch MSTV in one place and what not? Want to read the blog, but the player makes the page take nigh-forever to load? Well, the problem has been solved, in a simple and elegent way. I have made another blog in the Master Studios Network to simply hold the MSTV player and the Videos on Demand without lagging down the main page, so yeah go off to our little dark corner and bask in the glow of MSTV! Where is it? Well here's the link:

Master Studios TV

I will also place a link on the sidebar so it won't get pushed down eventually.

Master Studios Tv! Yeah that's right! TV!

2009-02-10T11:24:00.003-06:00

Hey Master Studios Fans:

Want to watch your favorite Master Studios shows in one place? Want to get the feel of them being in a streaming format and in sequence so they feel like real tv shows? Well, now you can with Master Studios TV! Using the same site that MachinimaTV uses for its streaming, Master Studios has created its own channel, and now you can sit back, relax and watch Master Studios stuff all day if you want. Now, this premier will feature the first episode of every Master Studios series, as well as episode 1 of Bra1nlessLobot0my's FUBAR. (except for Master Studios Update). Each week each series will be advanced one episode. If permission is given, we will also put works from our partners in as well.

Master Studios on HaloTube and Vimeo

2009-02-07T13:30:00.002-06:00

Hey Master Studios Fans:

Master Studios has been on HaloTube.org for a while, but I forgot to tell you guys about it. What made me remember? Well, our friends, Bra1nlessLobot0my mentioned their new account on the site, and I remembered that Master Studios has an account there. Now, I reactivated my account and currently, The Sentinel Megasodes 1-3 are on there, and I am currently uploading Trapped aLIVE 1 & 2 to the site. This could be the break Master Studios is looking for, because Bra1nlessLobot0my has been deemed friends of Halotube.org, which is a big deal for Bra1nlessLobot0my and they deserve it, however maybe since in most of BL's videos he flashes our logo, we might be able to get some publicity off of that, and maybe finally BL and MS can get the recognition it deserves from the larger Machinima community.

Here's the link to the Master Studios group on Halotube:

Master Studios

Also, Master Studios has just created an account on Vimeo, and currently no videos have been uploaded yet, so I will post a link to the vimeo account soon as I begin uploading videos to the account.

Bad News

2009-02-04T00:20:00.002-06:00

Okay, the day after the MSU 4 release, my xbox decided to catch the rrod's (AGAIN!!), and I hopefully will be able to send it in and have it back as soon as possible. Now that puts a giant dent in my machinima because now I can't even finish the trailer, however to keep you entertained I have some old halo clips that I could make into a montage, and I could probably make another Vegeta & Piccolo episode. You know stuff I don't need my xbox for. Please be patient as I get it fixed.

Master Studios Update 4 Released

2009-02-02T20:09:00.003-06:00

Good News Master Studios Fans,

Master Studios Update 4, the first machinima I made in months, is released. It was pretty long so I had to break it into two parts. Let me know what you think. Here are the links

Part One

Part Two

Master Studios Update Numero Fouro!

2009-01-29T12:33:00.002-06:00

Alright Master Studios Fans,

I've finally got all the things I need for Master Studios Update 4, and once I magically put them all together I will post it on youtube this weekend, so be on the look out as MSU 4 is something you've never seen before! Just to remind you there is an interview with a popular youtube director so if you want to find out who I'm talking about and want to learn more about him, then you'll just have to watch MSU 4. Oh, my advertising schemes are just brilliant. Anyway, check it out it should be up by this weekend, and I'll add the link in once it is and send everyone that's on my XBL friends list a message to remind them of the awesomeness.

Expanding the Audience...Hopefully

2009-01-07T23:45:00.002-06:00

Hello Master Studios Fans,

I have made a separate profile on MySpace for MasterStudios hopefully to expand our audience some since we lost a lot of viewers when Digitalph33r destroyed his forums, so hopefully some of these losses can be recuped. Also, I am working on the finishing touches of the fourth Master Studios Update, and hopefully we can get back on track with our projects. That's all for now. Currently, I haven't uploaded any of our works on the MySpace profile and it is practically bare since it was just created an hour ago, but tomorrow it should have some if not all of our works uploaded.

Vegeta Gets Piccorolled

2008-12-24T17:36:00.002-06:00

Hey Master Studios Fans!

I've got somewhat of a Christmas gift for you guys. It's a test episode of a new series, that I've been thinking about doing called "Vegeta & Piccolo" (The name will probably be changed). It is a comedy/parody of Dragonball Z, so here it is:

Vegeta Gets Piccorolled

Tell me what you think of it!

New Blog in the Master Studios Network

2008-12-02T12:20:00.002-06:00

Hey Master Studios Fans:

There is something cool, that I would like to share with you guys. Recently, I have started writing fanfiction, and I thought to myself, "What's the point of writing it if no one gets to read it?" At first, I tried to find more formal fanfiction sights to try to expand my audience, but I couldn't find one that had any clear process for new writers to submit their work so it just clicked in my head that the best way to start is by sharing my work with the audience I already have and hopefully it will grow just as popular as my machinima, so I just created another blog with this account: Jaggeta's Fanfiction

Right Now, there is no stories posted yet, but the first "episode" will be posted very shortly.

If I was a Gangsta 3: "Takeover"; Master Studios Update 4 Guest Appearance

2008-11-29T10:08:00.003-06:00

Alright Master Studios Fans:

I kind of jumped out of order here and released If I Was a Gangsta Episode 3 instead of the Sentinel Megasode 4 as I said in MSU 3. Well the reason is simple, and that is because I couldn't get enough people to do the scenes, so I skipped ahead to this because I can do it myself, and hopefully it will give you guys something to drool over until I can get the Sentinel Megasode 4 done. Here's the link, and please leave a comment or something so I know what you guys think:

IIWG 3: "Takeover"

Also, I have been able to secure an interview for Master Studios Update 4. I'm a big fan of this person (nope, not going to reveal his identity, you have to watch MSU 4 when it comes out) and I was amazed that he had agreed to do this. Master Studios Update 4 is planned to release sometime in the next month. Hopefully, I'll have The Sentinel Megasode 4 out before then.

Also, if you want help getting your machinima out there, what better way then to have someone else promote your stuff? Well, you can send me a trailer/teaser or the full video to my email (masterstudios@ymail.com) or a link to a full video (if it is too large to email) and I'll watch it and review it in future Master Studios Updates.

Forums with New Look

2008-11-04T11:28:00.003-06:00

Hi, Master Studios Fans:

The Master Studios Forums has gotten a new look. It is not as grotesque as before AND it's easier on the eyes. That's...a little redundant. Anyway, check it out, because with DP's forum closing soon, most if not all of our activity will be on that forum, so please register if you haven't already and start enjoying all that is Master Studios:

New Forum Skin!

Master Studios Update 3 and some other stuff

2008-10-31T15:09:00.002-05:00

Alright Master Studios Fans:

Remember the update I said I was going to do a few weeks ago? Well, I finally finished it. The reason it took so long is because it was an editing hell, but I finally pulled it off, so here it is:

Master Studios Update 3: Gangsta Editon

Also the following things happened after I released MSU 3 otherwise I would have talked about them in the episode, but nonetheless, there is good news, bad news, and even worse news:

The Good News:

Have any of you visited MachinimaTV? Well, Heretant, the mastermind behind MachinimaTV has given me the opportunity of working with him. Basically my job is to watch new machinimas that come out and give Heretant the links to the good ones. This is very good for us as it will get our production team some good advertisements, especially if I do my job well. Not only is it good for our production team, but it is also good for machinima makers that make good works, but has trouble getting into the limelight.

The Bad News:

Digitalph33r has announced in his blog (http://digitalph33r.blogspot.com/ ) that he will be closing the Digitalph33r forums in a week or so. This is bad for everyone who ever goes to his forums, especially for our production crew, as well as others, because most of our audience is from that community, and we'll still use our own forums, but we might see a decline in our popularity simply because we will lose that outlet that we advertise our work in. There are talks that the "refugees" of DP's forums will make a more general gaming forum, but I do not know for sure yet.

The Worst News:

This is perhaps most saddening of all. Erik, most commonly known as Bra1nlessLobot0my, is sick, and he said that he might be sick for a while, so I want everyone to pray for him so he can get well. In the meantime, Erik has given me temporary directorship of FUBAR which will be some large shoes to fill, and I am worried that I won't do the show justice. I'll try my best, but the most important think is that he gets some rest and get better so he can bring joy to our homes with his unparalleled ability to make people laugh.

That will be all for now, enjoy the new release, and please keep Erik in your prayers.

New Releases and upcoming projects

2008-10-12T17:42:00.002-05:00

Alright Master Studios Fans,

As per the results of the poll I placed on Digitalph33r's forum, the majority of the voters wanted Master Studios to do An Unknown World first, and I know it took me a while, but I finally got it done.

An Unknown World: Episode 1

I know on the last blog post I said I was doing MSU 3 but that got delayed a bit, so I decided to go ahead and do AUW. MSU 3 will be out soon, and up next is Sentinel Megasode 4. Hopefully we won't have any network problems or rehearsal problems as we did a couple of weeks ago, but at earliest Sentinel Megasode 4 will be out in about two weeks, then I'll be working on IIWG Episode 3, which I am excited about because I will be using Saint's Row 2 on that and subsequent episodes, then after all that is said and done, which will be probably some time early November, I will be hitting up some new Trapped aLive, which will hopefully be out before Thanksgiving. And after that I'll probably hook you guys up with MSU 4 just before Christmas, so I have everything planned out and you'll see Master Studios rise to the top once again.

Brief News

2008-09-21T18:28:00.002-05:00

Alright, Master Studios Fans:

I know that Master Studios hasn't put out any new stuff in a couple weeks, but rest assured I am working on MSU 3, but frankly I am not quite sure on what to work on next. So I was hoping that you can help me out. To the right side of this page I place a poll, asking which series do you want me to work on. The poll is left open for two weeks, but that doesn't mean it will be another two weeks for me to finish. I need as many of you to answer the poll as possible, so I can give you what you want. I kind of have an idea for each of those, and I also have a leaning towards what you might pick, but while I'm waiting on those results (I'll probably check it in a week or so) I will write scripts for the next episode of each series so I can be ready regardless of what you guys pick.

Trapped aLIVE Episodes 1 & 2

2008-09-05T17:53:00.002-05:00

Alright, Master Studios Fans:

The moment you've been waiting for. The new comedy series by Jaggeta, Trapped aLIVE, has been released:

Episode 1: Pilot

Episode 2: The Noobs

Also, check out my bro's new AMV!

Project: Genocide Chapter 1 Released

2008-09-01T23:07:00.002-05:00

Great News Master Studios Fans:

A long anticipated series by Bra1nlessLobot0my is finally here. His action-horror machinima is called Project: Genocide. Check it out!

Project: Genocide (Chapter 1)

MachinimaTV

2008-08-31T02:43:00.002-05:00

Alright Master STudios Fans, a new channel for machinima has been launched. Unlike Youtube, or even Machinima.com it is in constant stream, just like (you guessed it!) TV, and Master Studios has managed to get a spot with the Sentinel Series, and I also took the liberty of placing FUBAR in one of the spots so if you can go check it out.

MachinimaTV

Bra1nless Lobot0my's Site

2008-08-30T00:31:00.002-05:00

Our partner production team: Bra1nlessLobot0my Productions has started up a website. It's still in developmental stages, but it is worth checking into:

Bra1nlessLobot0my Productions

Also, a new comedy series by Jaggeta, called Trapped a-LIVE is in the final stages of production, and once the vocals are turned in, it will be ready for release, so don't go too far.

Master Studios Youtube Channel

2008-08-12T15:57:00.002-05:00

Hey guys,

Great news, the Master Studios Youtube Channel is officially operational. I have moved all of The Sentinel, If I was a Gangsta, Master Studios Update, etc. over to that channel.

New Releases:
The Sentinel Megasode 3:

Part 1: "Tribulation"

Part 2: "Vengeance"

CGN Promo:

Also, we have a new logo thanks to Hawk506. I will upload it on to the blog and the forums very soon.

Sentinel M2 Part 2 Released

2008-08-06T21:16:00.001-05:00

Hey guys, Sentinel M2 Part 2 "Condemnation" is released.

Sentinel M2: Part 2 "Condemnation"

Tell me what you think, the more you tell me, the better machinimas I will be able to make as a result.

Update

2008-08-02T23:18:00.003-05:00

Hey guys,

I have just uploaded part 1 to the Sentinel Megasode 2: "Revelation" I will post the second part in a few days. Once Sentinel M2 is completely uploaded, I will switch gears to the next MSU (Master Studios Update in case you haven't gotten use to the abbreviation yet), which I can easily do by myself, and then after that throw out Episode 3 of IIWG (If I Was a Gangsta). This is the last month of my summer so it will be a while before I can pump out multiple projects, so when school starts back up (about Aug 26-28ish) I will do only MSU and one of the other two per month. I've gotten most of M3 planned out so I'll try to work on that next month. Also, once M2 is completely uploaded to youtube, I will begin using the new youtube channel MasterStudios1, and encourage the other directors in Master Studios to do it too. That way we will have all of our stuff under one roof much like Machinima.com, but you can still upload it to your channel as well.

Sentinel M2: Part 1 "Revelation"

New Episodes Update

2008-07-15T03:27:00.005-05:00

Okay, guys, Sunday was a huge success. I managed to refilm all the footage that was accidentally deleted, and I bet it was better than the first time, and with that said, all I need now is the vocals, which I'm giving my voice actors about two weeks to practice, so once I get those, I'll just slip them into place and slap it on youtube. So simply expect Sentinel M2 to be out in about two weeks. I would like to thank all of those that participated in this and I look forward to working with you again.

Also in that two weeks I will put together the second episode of Master Studios Update, which is a little bit simpler to put together so it should be done about the same time the Sentinel is, so if you joined Master Studios after the first MSU then email me a Halo 3 Screenshot of yourself (nothing to complicated), and soon after I'll get to work on the third episode of IIWG (If I was a Gangsta; in case you aren't use to the abbreviation yet) which should be out around the first of August.

An Unknown World

2008-07-03T21:41:00.004-05:00

Hello, Master Studios Fans!

I am very excited today, because today I release a brand new series, and the best part of all: It's not in HALO!!!! Now, don't get me wrong, Halo is one of the best games to make machinima in, but it is a little overdone. Anyways, this new series, is called "An Unknown World", The main character, is based off of a piece of fiction that I wrote a few years ago out of boredom. The main character is basically ripped out of his home realm and is stuck in the realm of Tamriel! Did you just get chills go down your spine? That's right...I'm talking Oblivion baby! Oblivion, is particularly difficult to film, but I believe I have figure out how to do it in a reasonably effective way. Now, I just released the Prologue, and just in case the Director Notes section runs by you too fast. Let me just tell you, that the particular plotline and events is not actually going to be in the series (meaning Episode 1 and thereafter). It was mainly an introductory thing, plus I didn't want to give my main plot away if this experiment didn't work. Now, see for yourself!

Sentinel M2 rewritten

2008-06-25T01:32:00.002-05:00

While I was out of town last weekend, I had the opportunity to rewrite the script and plot-flow of The Sentinel M2, and it will ultimately effect the course of the entire series, which is great in that it made me realize (which I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner) that it makes things a whole lot easier to write the script and such before filming, because previously when someone would ask me "What should I do next?" I would sit for like 5 minutes trying to remember what I wanted to do, which ate up a lot of time we could have used for filming. Now, I also got all the lines done so I need people to start auditioning for them. You can find the audition topic in these two places.

Master Studios Update is Released

2008-06-21T12:36:00.002-05:00

Alright, Master Studios Update Episode 1 (Pilot) has just been released. MSU is simply an "Inside Halo"-type machinima that will give up-to-date news about all things Master Studios. It is also my first attempt at a more comical series, so don't be afraid to laugh! Now with out further ado here's the link:

Master Studios Update

2008-06-17T16:15:00.002-05:00

Alright, I've been watching a lot of "Inside Halo" recently and I have got the idea to do a similar thing but with the Master Studios. The pilot episode will feature myself (Jaggeta) and my brother as the hosts, and we will introduce the other members of the production team via screenshots. So if you are a member of the Master Studios production crew, send a screenshot of yourselve to me via email. The screenshot needs to be simple. You can have an action shot, but not something that is over-worked.

The Granding Opening of the Master Studios Page

2008-06-08T17:56:00.000-05:00

The Master Studios Production firm, that has been nestling under Digitalph33r's forum for months, has finally spread its wings and created it's own page and subsequent forums. So I bid you all welcome. Once a forum is built, signups, rehearsals and project info will go up immediately.
