Testing the waters

(this is my first post I think so if it's misplaced idk)
I've been thinking about how long ago in the age before captnjosh there was speak of an live action hawken series, according to the Wikipedia page at least. I've been thinking what if we, the players, created a YouTube series centered on Hawken as a sort of community project. No live action of course, a) it can be embarrassing, b) it can be expensive, and c) who has the time or equipment for that. That last point was two but ignore that. The point is I'm wondering who in the community would be interested in putting together such a series despite obvious limitations among other things, which can be discussed at another point in time and space if the idea is well received, along with other details.
Thank you for your consideration

This would be sweet, too bad red vs blue wasnt on hawken
What if we just give some bacon paint, some bacon holo-emotes and change Bunker from snow to bacon.
This way, everyone will be happy.
What you should really do, is replace your parts with bacon, so you can cook games and eat bacon
Obviously the wallpaper would be cooler if bacon was incorporated into it.

A) Make the graphic novels animated with the community as voice actors (can somone do (flash-)animations?)
B) Cardboard Hawken. Go to youtube and search for cardboard warfare. A funny and lowbudget production of hawken :D

I started writing for an idea like this before Hawken went under and then it went to the back-burner when the devs left. Now that reloaded is in the picture, I have picked up the story again so I can get a script in the hands of some voice actors.
My biggest concern with actually getting this into production is getting enough in-game actors, live-action actors and costumes (if implemented), and video wizards who can get live action into game footage. And then scheduling it all.
For those interested, here's something I'd like to try: Debuting each episode on stream with live scenes. Each episode is produced beforehand but a scene (probably near the end of the episode) is performed live. These scenes could be combat or an important decision where the outcome is determined by community poll before the stream or in chat. The power of these decisions could range from the color of paint on a mech, choosing who walks away from a fight, or if the main characters will pursue one side-story or another. However, this would be a lot more work from all involved. It wouldn't be worth it to me unless there was a demand for a live debut that many could attend (see scheduling).
Hawken has a great story and I think it would be silly not to explore it.
Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

Why mech game make when you no mech game have you don't want to make?
