In 2007, I received an Xbox 360 Pro with Halo 3 as a present. I'd always been a huge halo fan, and owned both Halo and Halo 2 on the original Xbox. In summer of 2008, I became familiar with machinima through popular web series's like Red VS Blue and Darkspire Film's "Matchmaking".
I decided to try and create some forge tutorials and machinima on a personal youtube channel. I designed the name OptimumForge after forging with a group on Halo 3. At the time, I liked the idea of creating Forge tutorials to help people make the most out of their maps.
My first video was How To Lower Your Weapon in Halo 3, which rose to incredible success, much to my surprise.
My second and third videos, How To Build A Working Rocket Ship in Halo 3, and How To Build Stunt Ramps in Halo 3, were even more widely accepted and popular.
I decided to get more creative and came up with Super Minisodes. It was soon after this video became popular, that I was in contact with Machinima.com. It was then that I was offered a partnership in the Directors program.
Here I am today, still making machinima for you guys. It's a blast.
All of our productions are located for viewing on our Official YouTube Channel.
