Starcraft - Rebirth of the Swarm is a Starcraft 2 Machinima Project, im working on somewhat since the downtime of the beta. Im planning a lengh of 20-50 minutes.
The movie is supposed to have a full voice acting crew, however, i still need some guys to help me out. For more information, scroll down in this posts.
I already managed to finish two teaser trailers, that should give you a short impression of the movie. However, note that in the second trailer, the banshee and the zealots scenes are unfinished shots and will look way better in the movie.

Teaser Trailer 1:
Finally, our SC2 Servers are up. 10 years of wait are finally over. This is truly one of the greatest days of my live. The new trailer for my Starcraft 2 Machinima "Rebirth of the Swarm" is now also up!
Enjoy! And happy SC2 Release Day!
Remember, this trailer will be taken down at the end of the week.
Story:
The movie begins shortly before the events of starcraft 2 and centers around one of the first full scale attacks of the zerg on an terran planet since four years. Most of the movie is set on the desert planet "Cron II" which is controlled by the umoja protectorate. The planet is full of giant mineral fields, but is populated mostly by marines and miners due to the hard living conditions
Because of a distress call the planet send out into space, a protoss mothership noticed the presence of the zerg and prepares to help the terran in defending the planet.
Charakters:
Sage Corbin:
Race: Terran
Voice actor: Already voiced.
Sage Corbin is a sergeant on the planet Cron II and is in controll of most of the marines that protect the mines on the planet. In Broodwar, he defended the planet against zerg and other terran faction.
Zhadun:
Race: Protoss
Voice Actor: Already Voiced
Zhadun is a dark templar which lives already some time on Cron II. He made himself a name among the terran as the "Protoss from Umoja".
He was send by Zeratul himself to the planet, but barely anyone knows why.
Shiloh Maltair:
Race: Terran
Voice Actor: Already voiced
Shiloh is a Ghost that was send directly from Umoja to Cron II to help in defending the planet from the Zerg.

As mentioned earlier, im looking for some voice actors for the movie. You can choose one of the characters from above, however, there are still other characters that i need voice actors for. These are: A Immortal(already voiced), a high templar and a zealot. It may be possible that some people voice two characters. If you are interested, write it in this thread or send me a PM and say which character you want to voice. Then we make a test and look if your voice fits the character.
However, there are some other things i need help with:
For one, i need someone that knows the starcraft universe perfectly, so he can give me advises in the story.
Also i need someone that proof reads my english. Im not from an english speaking country, but i still think my english is pretty decent. But not perfect.
Also, i would be very glad if i have someone in the team that is experienced with sound design, so he can change the voices around a bit, expecially for the protoss, because my sound editing is not that good.
It looks really nice ! I would like to voice act the dark templar because it involves using another voice :)
But is it a problem that I live in Belgium ?
Sorry, but i already got a voice actor for the dark templar. You can do the zealot or high templar, if you want. And no, its not a problem if you live in Belgium.
Well, i already got another one that maybe will do the zealot, so i need to see what decision he makes. Other than that, zealot and/or high templar are fine. I will tell you in some hours what decision the other guy made. It is very much possible that he drops the role of the zealot.
That looks neat man. One thing I'm wondering. Did you put in the Immortal guy at the start of the trailer using the editor only? Or did you use a video editing software to do that?
Also, how come you added flames to the dropship? Don't they already have a flame as part of their animation? Or did you just want to make it bigger?
I'm just curious to know if you're going to release a movie watchable by opening up in SC2 or if it's going to be a movie posted on youtube with editing software modifications.

Nearly every shot in the movie is editied with professional video editing software. It will only be avaible on Youtube or Vimeo.
@Veritas1995
You can speak the zealot, everythings fine now. However, i havn´t enough material from the zealot yet, so you will need to wait a little until i can give you your first lines and the script.
To all members of the team:
It is advised to register yourself at this new Starcraft 2 Machinima Site: http://www.starcraftmachinima.com/content.php
This way, (through PM System) we can organize ourselves better, like when we record and synchronise stuff and so on.
Some news: As soon as the servers of Starcraft 2 are up, i will release a new 30 seconds long trailer as a celebration of the release of Starcraft 2. The trailer will show some never before seen footage and some footage that you´ve seen before, but updated. Also, that trailer will only last on youtube till the end of the week. So be sure to check it out!
Finally, our SC2 Servers are up. 10 years of wait are finally over. This is truly one of the greatest days of my live. The new trailer for my Starcraft 2 Machinima "Rebirth of the Swarm" is now also up!

I dont get how people make these....I'd assume you set it up in the editor and then record it + edit with another program, right? But when you go into the data editor, the high quality models only have a few poses, wich is not enough to do this kind of stuff. Do you make your own models/animations?

Some feedback for me?
@Crainy: Go
wow this looks incredibly cool. If you'd had made this earlier you probably would have won Blizzards machinama contest.
Thanks :D Nah, i dont think i would have won the contest, but maybe under the top 5 or something.
It looks really nice ! I would like to voice act the dark templar because it involves using another voice :) But is it a problem that I live in Belgium ?
Sorry, but i already got a voice actor for the dark templar. You can do the zealot or high templar, if you want. And no, its not a problem if you live in Belgium.
@Crainy: Go
Okay , fine by me :) I think I will choose the zealot if that's alright , or if you want I will do zealot and high templar
but as long as I may give my own style to the voice ( not that it looks like the real SC2 voice )
:) thanks for the opportunity
Well, i already got another one that maybe will do the zealot, so i need to see what decision he makes. Other than that, zealot and/or high templar are fine. I will tell you in some hours what decision the other guy made. It is very much possible that he drops the role of the zealot.

Uhm, right now i have no positions left, but maybe i will need some more voice actors someday.

Unfortanly not. However, the final movie will probably also be hosted on vimeo, i guess-,
