Project Overview
Proteus is the working title of a machinima that has been in pre production for six years. The project is a 20 episode season action/drama. More details will become available if you make it on the team.

What We Need (in order of importance)
1. 9/12* main characters; 3 female voices needed.

2. 5/44* supporting characters; varies with voice actor skill level

3. Dependable team of puppeteers.

4. Skilled artists** capable storyboarding; we have CGI.

Expectations
Keep in mind that although there are 44 supporting characters, I do not need 44 different people. I have no doubt that people are capable of doing multiple voices. If you are auditioning for any role, except for storyboard artist, you are required to live up to the expectations mentioned by The Digital Set. Although those expectations are for posting in their forums, it is suggested you follow that structure when e-mailing.

All voice actors must have a computer microphone and their own recording software. If you are in need of a recording program please download Audacity for free.

All puppeteers better not be a pain in the ass.

Artists just need to talk to me.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please let me know here or, once again, e-mail me at ...... Read More

Site
Alright, so the AxS Staff convinced me to give them their rank back. As usual they will appear as orange in the online members list. If you guys experience some visual problems from the site let us know; it's probably permission related.

AxS Voldsom and I have been discussing machinima a lot recently, but we finally took the time to discuss the website. We're closing it down... no, not really. We just want to freshen it up in some way. Sorry, no podcast is planned. Since Voldsom doesn't feel like coding in some new feature, he just finished our new theater, we were hoping you guys could go out and bring us back some niffty-looking banners. Just go to Halo 3, take a screen shot, and you can either edit via Photoshop or something, or crop it down to the right dimensions and email it to me at halosavior001@yahoo.com . As a reward for your hard efforts, we will post them on the website where they may occasionally pop up during its random circulation ;)

I don't know the exact dimensions, but our current banners are 875x175. You should start with that and we'll go from there.

Clan
JT is back! Don't mind all of the old topics he is posting in, he obviously has no idea what is going on :P Glad to have you back man, if only for a little while. Another thing is that Voldsom has been craving some CoD 4 lately, and has resurrected our clan to compete in gamebattles once more. The first thing he needs is a team; let him know!

Affiliation
I haven't really been keeping up with our affiliates, but from what I can gather Arm The Flag has mostly been into MLG and clan matches lately. If you want to hop in on the action go check them out, and if you try to drag our clan into a clan match, let us know first.

The Praetoriaguard has started up what they are calling Community Machinima Projects. This is their official announcement that they are coming back to machinima, but in a different way. Not only will they work on their own stuff, but they will band themselves and their affiliates (that's us!) together to help however needs it. This ranges from voice actors to puppeteers. If you are interested in keeping up with who needs help with their ...... Read More

Due to the lack of activity from the AxS Staff we are removing that rank entirely. Other ranks that have been removed is the SF Director, Spade has is own site now, and donor. The only ranks that remain are the normal ones by post and AxS Props. Don't get too comfortable with the AxS Props rank though, we are removing people accordingly. Sorry for the bad news, but we need to tighten up as we amp our machinima.
