In the Creators Mind
Hello! I am better known as Panda. Here is a brief story behind why I got into Metal Gear Solid based MachinimaA huge fan of the series, since I was 8, and once I turned 13 I wanted to be apart of Metal Gear Solid...further then just being a fan. So...I got into web design, I got experience, wasn't ever the greatest, but I knew my skills were alright enough to give it a try over the years.
I got into web design when I was around 14 with one dream...to create something unique, ANYTHING that I could, using Metal Gear Solid. I originally wanted to use Metal Gear Solid 1 for the original Playstation to make machinima, but I had nothing to record with. I continued my study, my self taught lessons in web design and how people interact with the internet world. Making friends and trying to figure out about Metal Gear Solid 4 when it was barely announced.
I wanted to use Metal Gear Solid 2 by that time. Instead of 1 to create a movie based series off of my favorite game.
Still no luck, when Metal Gear Solid 3 came out I attempted it finally, having a friend who'd help...but my lack of MGS based friends kinda of got in the way, so barely anyone knew about what I did with Metal Gear Solid 2 (like 2 lame videos haha) and Mgs3 (about 2) THEN it came...IT meaning Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence and then the announcement of another MGS ONLINE....Mgo2.
Once MGO came about...my buddy zero and I talked (him and I met as fans of Mgs a little before MGO came out), I explain my gaming based dreams to him, and of course, he did as well. My passionate goal, using Metal Gear to finally attempt to fulfill my little heartfelt goal to create a series using Metal Gear Solid....thats where Metal Gear Online came in. That is where Camp PandaMonium came to be....the name camp pandamonium...came from the story of CPM (camp) and my favorite animals...Panda's....it's just not too original so, it stuck with me.
Now...I want everyone who is a fan to know, that Camp Panda Ops will keep going and then, once, the day hits that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and Metal Gear Online for Playstation 3 finally arrive....an ENTIRELY new story comes in, and you'll see some remakes of some favorite episodes from Konami's, Playstation 2 Metal Gear Online.
Camp Panda Ops...is a learning stage for next gen...and to get a message out, that message? You'll see....it will tie into Camp Panda Ops of course and I will bring one small but major spoiler to you all. The Future is our War. The Past, our Unity!
