Whats going on guys. On the side (from time to time) I work for Machinima.com.

If you don't know what it is, its basically the partner program for youtube but through the Machinima channel. I'm a director on there and its nearly impossible to reach that level anymore so I kind of make use of it. Its extra money, and its also fun.

So, you really can make a living off of this. While I'm not so concerned with the cash right now, its more or less the publicity. My content is pretty decent, and I have NO problem working my way up to the top (See, I've had a contract longer than almost anyone on there ,but I haven't been as religious in terms of posting as they have). So its not like I am blaming anyone else for not getting to a higher rank or seriously making it work for me. Its entirely on me.


Anyway, my buddy had an idea (This is a kid I met off XBL and he lives in australia. I've know him for about a year now).

There is this big machinima guy, he has about 2 million subscribers, and my friend (The kid in AU) knows that kids girlfriend.

She agreed to voice act in one of our shorts and by doing so, she would help us publicize it. I thought "Ok, this should be fun!". Granted, if she didn't want to do it, I wouldn't have involved him.

Here is why-

I created the idea for the short
I edited the entire thing
I directed the entire thing
I did ALL of the voice work for the 4 characters
I have the machinima contract.

He helped act in it via the game, which I could have gotten anyone to do.

I agreed to put his channel in the description because if this girl would have done it, it would have been thanks to him. Because of him knowing her, we would have gotten more views.

Now that its finished (I haven't rendered it yet, I was waiting for his response in regards to getting her to voice act), hes starting to back out. "Eh, I think we should just use her another time, ect, ect"

So now I'm like "Wait, I just did everything, why should I add your youtube channel in the description?"

I didn't actually say that, but its what I'm thinking.

See, even if I upload this all alone by myself, I'm still gonna get around 35-40 thousand views.

Yeah know, I'm not using anyone, but this is different. If you're in something together, HOLD UP ON YOUR END!!


So any help would be awesome!!!:icon_super:
