Looked pretty good, a suggestion is that the animation is a wee bit too fast, and maybe with the voice acting for the elites and brutes, edit the voices so they’re voices are more deeper and more gravely?
The acting was awesome, the models were outstanding the references were a nice touch, but the animations just felt weird to me I'm not sure why.(That Hunter scene was pretty bad ass) Overall you did an amazing job with this and can't wait to see more.
I think it's mostly everything being too light, they lack the weight that that armor should have, even if they were powered. Also those arms were way too close to the body while running.
It’s partly because the acceleration of most objects was too unrealistically high at times. And the spartan especially didn’t obey Newton’s Third Law. Still agree that this is a cool project though:)
During the fight I found kinda annoying how Sam talked to much, I don’t think in reality spartans are that talkative especially when they’re in action🤔 but otherwise this was perfect!!! 343 need to hire people like you lol
ZackZap - I liked it it reminded me of Spider-Man but I know what u guys mean, but I think it excitement to the fight, we all have thoughts, but ya chief and the other like doesn’t talk but ya anyways
This is insanely good, cinematography is sick but yeah Slow the animations down Less talking during fights Also less heavy breathing and such, they are Spartans!
They’re probably Spartan-IIIs honestly. Less talking? He’s shit talking a behemoth in an impossible fight. Every Spartan we’ve ever seen talks shit, even the Master Chief. Sam distracted a hulking beast away from his teammate, all while having no ammunition
I wish he wasn’t so talkative and the animation feels like nothing has any weight to it. Other than that, good first episode and I am exited for episode 2!
This definitely has my attention. The fact that this is supposed to be pretty lore friendly makes me feel more invested into this. Great job. I'll be looking forward to more
Less is more, especially in combat scenes. Spartans are warriors and highly trained. Additional movement is wasted movement and wasted movement is death in combat. Not sure how nitty gritty you want the story or how "realistic" but I would prefer to see less Marvel / Deadpool type direction and more Band of Brothers/ Saving private Ryan. Taking the themes from Reach and the atmosphere of the ordeal into account, I think it would make more sense that way
@@KingLou97 some people are tired of the over the top superhero action scenes that we always see and would prefer a more realistic approach to high stakes armed and unarmed combat
This was absolutely phenomenal. Amazing work! I can't wait to see more! Incredibly insane after reading the description as well. You only started animating this on January??? That's insane!
love it, make them seem more "professional soldiers" with their dialogue like other spartans. "Do you have a gun" should have been, "Do you have a weapon? either way this was excellently done and im excited to see more.
The Spartans and elites are a little too expressive, especially in their motion. Overall pretty good, especially for a fanmade project. The voice acting is by far the best part.
My few gripes are Sams shields should’ve flared when he was smacked around, the Honor Guard Elites and the Brute Stalker are wearing the wrong armor, and the Elite shipmaster should also have gold, white, or purple instead of green armor. Also what happened to the Hunter “bond brother”?

Hold Up. If the covs needed Cortana, and 6 didn’t have it when they ganged up on him. Wouldn’t they need to capture him alive to extract the location of Cortana. 🤔🤔🤔
That 1 kid I mean They were looking for an artifact when noble was going to extract Halsey, or they would have glassed that place. The covs intelligence is very good as far as I know.
Noble Six didn't have Cortana after the pillar of autumn left Reach and he also didn't have the device on his back. The only thing he did have of value to the covenant was the information transmitted into his armor. They could scan his armor after they found him to find information on where the pillar of autumn was headed. The coordinates were imbedded in his chest plate and helmet. The only thing they did not have was his helmet thus it took even longer to find the autumn or else they would be able to intercept more battle intel. They only grabbed a homing beacon.
Also note that in the glassing it doesn't officially confirm Noble Six's death. It's still a mystery on whether he is KIA or MIA. Chances are and no telling, the covenant captured him and probably has him locked away in a cryogenic chamber somewhere in the galaxy and are studying pieces of his armor tech that they most likely salvaged. There are also no reports that his armor was glassed. The only thing left behind is his helmet (which is completely useless) probably damaged beyond repair. But let's say the UNSC manages to retrieve it one day and fix it, they would have footage from Noble Six's point of view of the entire incident if they don't already and tried to cover it up.
The animation was good but I'd like to see a little more weight to the movements. Also when they're talking the models heads move like how a power ranger would do it, so try slower movement in general. I did like the voice acting a lot and overall it's really good but those are just some of my but picks 😂 Edit: in terms of making scenes with fast paced action, instead of making the actual movements fast, try lowering the amount of frames in which hits and impact from hits take place maybe? if that makes any sense
I would agree and one of the things I noticed is that when he was picking up ruble and helping that guy it look really light, like the voice was expressing it was heavy but not the movements
Too much dialogue and emotional reactions, saying that,your keeping the universe alive and that's important we need more from halo,there's so much to tap into, I personally would like to see more gritty honest creations,shorts where the humans fail,where we out smart the covenant, civilian perspectives, soldiers fighting tooth and nail using anything they have no evac available for days,they do well in the books but some of it is too clean sometimes but I loved most of them none the less, So fair play to you man but my advice would be not to forget what these people are doing and going through on a daily basis,they live death every day,only speak when it's necessary really or for much needed moral support,look at how many times chief spoke and how do we love the Spartan 2's ! Again thank you we need your dedication and support in this community halo inspired me and somehow helped me through school and tough times where I could just immerse myself in being the underdog fighting for something bigger than myself,all greatness comes from that really look at any non-fictional hero in our past nor present they gave themselves fully too a Vision bigge than themselves!
That was amazing. I actually had high hopes for this series, but I never expected this series to be this good when we’re only SEVEN MINUTES IN!!! That. Is. Impressive. The dialogue is incredible for a fan film, the character animations are a bit “choppy” and “jerky,” but even for a fan film, that prologue was breathtaking. Why can’t 343 come up with stuff like this? Instead, they have Halo: Nightfall and that new TV show in which Jacob and Miranda Keyes are suddenly African-American. If you ask me, THAT should be non-canon, not this masterpiece of a fan film. Hey, to anyone who’s participating in The Lost Wolves of Reach, keep up your godlike work, and please, don’t even think about cancelling this show because we all love it and would love to see more.

One big thing I didn’t read in the comments already is putting emphasis on the weight of things. Be it a punch, a shot, a blowback, or even picking up or setting down debris, sounds and slower more struggling or weighty animations are pretty useful in creating the effect.
Wow, holy shit, this was impressive. The cinematography was astoundingly good. Really feels like you're in the world and perfectly encapsulates how chaotic the fall of Reach would be. Voice actors and animation are damn good too. I'm looking forward to the next entry!
I mean they are supposed to, yeah maybe some 'clanking' but their speed is on point, read comics, they are 'bonded' with the armor via mind so they move in sync. Just being a bit of a nerd, nothing mean was meant.
Guys... I´m talking about the enemies too. I´m not talking about lore... Even though the spartans armor are bonded, they still have 2 tons of weight on them. Im just saying if there´s armor on, the movement shouldn´t be that fast. Just like slow it down by 10-15% Some parts were perfect and other parts were a bit too quick :D
Honestly the writing is weak, the animation looked cool aside from a few moments that looked really awkward to watch. The dialogue felt unnatural and forced, too much tell and not enough show. The scene where Sam ran out of ammo didnt need all the talking it had. A simple fix could be to just have Sam empty his clip, have the gun dry fire a bit and him look around for a weapon without having to walk the audience through his thought process. Spartans are the equivalent to Navy Seals, they are special warfare operatives. They would carry themselves with more composure. Maybe get an armed forces expert on your team to advise on what's more authentic. The fight choreography doesn't flow, the pacing takes me out of the scene. Again there really doesn't need to be that much talking, there are other ways to fill the silence like simply focusing on the music and the sound effects. This was very visually pleasing, the camera angles were good aside from a few moments in the fight scene. This is just an opinion from a random dude on the internet. Take it with a grain of salt.
I'm impressed with the quality but theres alot of inaccuracies. Don't get me wrong I understand the time and hard work put into this but I just have some ideas moving forward. You kinda dumbed down the Spartans like they're ODSTs or infantry. Spartans are aware of the mission and the cost and they're very tactical in mindset. So number one MJOLNIR keeps track of the vitals of the Spartan to an almost crazy level. So the wearer of the armor would know what was wrong with themself. MJOLNIR armor has built in counter measures in case of injury. So where you're state he has blood lose outloud that wouldn't be a thing the armors internal systems would've read his vitals applied antiseptic and patched his wound with bio foam to clot it. People really underestimate Spartan Armor because even without sheilds the armor is battle ship rated. When Red team came outta free fall over Reach falling through the atmosphere with no parachute they either died or sustained broken bones but there was no inbetween. If anything since Glen was pinned under heavy rubble maybe his armor would go into lock down mode. This is what we see happen to cheif in Halo 3. Also my other problem there's no way an enemy would get the jump on him unless he wasn't paying attention to the motion tracker which is hard beleive since Spartans train their lives to litterally live in the same armor for years at a time. But we see that's not the case because he knew before Glen knew. The armor's motion tracking pings red for unidentified movement and friendly tags are marked green or yellow identified by UNSC ID chips built into even standard infantry armor. Also the dialogue is poorly written for the Elite Captian. He needs to speak with more authority and religious conviction. Elites always finish by saying something like "Glory to the Prophets" or "Behold Brothers the Holy Journey is Upon us!!!" They also probably would've called the case an Icon, false idol, or Hersey in some form.
Spartan movement could use some adjustments, kinda reminds me of red vs blues early cgi days. Maybe a little less monologue during fights to. Other than that, pretty compelling
Some of the highest quality artistic expression that's come out of the Halo Community since Halo 3. The animation, lighting, shot composition, etc was fantastic. That being said, the writing was definitely it's weakest point, and I know how hard it is to get voices to match their position in a room, but you did a decent job there as well. Could be better, but decent. All things considered I'm excited to see where this leads. Keep up the impressive work. Get hired.
Some critiques I have is some of the audio is unnecessary like when Sam was talking while fighting the hunter. The animation (especially the hunter fight) was great other than when Sam ran to Glenn. It would also be great to see some voice effects for the brutes and elites but overall it was amazing and I’m excited to see more.
Very freakn impressed by the work that went into this!I was fully immersed,felt longer than its actual run time.great story setting established,the articulation in the parts,the background. Only a few things that bugged me.When the fight starts it looks weird with the way he was smacking the shield,too cartoon like.His combat style was very uncontrolled.Spartans arent street fighters.I dont expect him to be flipping like bruce lee but he should be fighting as if his armor actually was helping him or atleast as if he went through military training. In some scenes,his stance was kinda strange too.I think it wouldve been more effective if the downed spartan had a forearm ripped off and was bleeding out rather than a cybernetic arm detached.I wouldve had an elite find them rather than a hunter,i feel like the hunter wouldve shot 1st and asked questions later while the elite wouldve gave an honourable fight. Im only listing this things so you may look back and improve,not to criticize.
This... this is everything I want from a fan animation. The animation, the script, the characters and choreography, it's all so good and it feels exactly like Halo. Despite being so short, it felt so much like a masterpiece and..yeah, I'm lost for words. A few things felt like they should be out of place, but I couldn't care less because of how rare something like this is. I just hope that the rest of the series is as good as this, because I'm tired of waiting for the Darth Vader fan series to keep going.
Great premiere my dudes! I like it all. Well done on using Reach soundtrack especially the use of Last minute of The Package in the covenant scene! I’m hooked you guys can’t stop
Overall this was good, but I think there are a couple of parts that stand out and make it not as great as it could be. There is a lot of talking in the combat scene with the Hunter. I get the feeling that Spartans are a bit more focused on the combat and less on making meaningless quips. Also, the Brute and the Elite seem to make weird jerky movements when talking. I know they're aliens, but it looks uncontrolled and a little goofy. And the elite armour is wrong I believe. Other than that this has potential :)
I’m hooked. Officially hooked. Animation was a bit rough in a few places, but considering this is animated by one guy (and probably in little time), this is beautiful.
I took close attention to the sword the spartan was using when fighting with the hunter. And also what type it was. It was from titanfall 2and it's most commonly seen in the hands of Ronin Prime. (Titan)
*Are you guys looking for any more voice actors? I’ve voiced in over 40 projects, many of them being for Halo! Including a handful of videos for Covenant Canon!*
I loved it definitely, want to see more but I honestly hope the audio is tweaked more. In some instances you can't hear what someone is saying clearly. The music either over-powers the voices and or the voices are too quiet. The music definitely pops in a little too much I feel like specific choice and tweaks with Music/Volume/timing according to the whole animation and situation at hand would make this series even better! I hope I see more emotion and respective music choice with more pauses. All in all amazing!
Production quality is top notch and you nailed it on every technical level. Only critique I could give is the writing on the Spartan characters. They behave more like Spartan IVs or Marines/ODSTs to me. If that's the style you wanna go with go for it my dude, but if you wanna be more reflective of the Spartan IIIs in universe I'd review the ones on display in Ghosts of Onyx or reference Noble Team from the campaign. Again, excellent work my dude 👌
@@HaloFollower-Ron glad you're considering it man. Tried to be as constructive as I could. I really enjoyed it. The animation especially is top notch work. Would love to see more series like this pop up in the future 👌
@@Unseen_Halo well i dont think so they did it to make them look faster, instead they did so to try and capture the natural head moments humans make while talking or to simply express their emotions (no one can know better then me in this case, as i am from india) but they were not able to pull it off right as the head moments were a little bit what can i say.... janky and felt totally unnatural to me. It was like the doctor strange from infinity wars on the titan seeing the future kinda head moments but for the whole time for no necessary reason. I respect your opinion too, but in this case it was done for the reason i told you above.
@@theencore398 Now that you say that. That makes sense. They did it to be expressive. And in the books the only expression was the universal spartan smile hand gesture
YO LES GO! TIME TO WATCH THIS! #HYPE! Edit: Watched it and fricking that was great. I just hope Glenn survives, and I already love Sam has a character. Can't wait to see what happens to this.
Writing needs some improvement, animation seems a little off too, but I'm more concerned with dialogue. You can still have a memorable series with ok animation as long as the writing is top notch. I like the action sequence concept but there was way too much talking from Sam. Honestly don't think a "sword" that comes out of no where should have been used.. Its kinda bad ass don't get me wrong but doesn't seem right. Maybe like a piece of rebar would have felt more appropriate given their surroundings. I did absolutely love that Noble Six still kicking though! This is all just my opinion, you guys do you :)
Good stuff bro keep up the good work I was in my phone gulled to this video I watched it like 7 Time’s and still can’t believe what I was watching continue the series pls 😍😍😍😍😍
Solid episode. Only critiques are smoother animations and the importance of silence....what I felt should have been a quiet moment or with minimal talking were flooded with Sam talking just a bit too much
The only thing I’d work on guys is the audio echo. (But keep in mind idk anything about editing so it’s just a suggestion from a random guy who likes halo and loves this already. This spartan just turned into Thor. Ooh have a spartan named thor 🤗)
My only criticism is the lack of audio. I want to hear ever motion, every scratch and foot step, ever breath. If that was added this would be the best fan animation I've ever seen
Should add audio effects to make things distorted or blend with the background it sounded a bit too much like a studio quality microphone instead of burning down city the background music did a good enough job adding intensity to the sound alone, other than that and a bit too smooth of animation for a spartan wearing heavy armor I thought it was amazing can’t wait to see more PS. Just trying to give general advice not a hater
Only critique I have is the running animation is too narrow and almost feminine for him. His legs and arms need to be further spread apart to look right. That’s all I have to say. Also raise the shoulders a bit.
Spartan llls were orphaned children of the covenant human war and ultimately volunteered for the program. This would give them a certain level of maturaty already. Mind set.
stuff were colliding with each other abit but I thought this was soo good nobody really has made an animation based on reach getting glassed.keep up the masterpiece.
Not bad man! Brush up a bit more on Spartan and Covie behavior and ability to get an accurate idea of how they behave and what they can do but other then that looks great! Cant wait for more!

It was meant to be grim and dark, so the artistic style holds.
And the Brute and Elite voices are a little too "human", which could have been fixed by a simple program, or a person with a nice growl

Plus i think his shields were completely broken, otherwise they would have been up when he woke up, not the beeping sound that means you have no shields.
Cripticgamer20 Ok. Then why was there no crash like sound and a bright flare over his body to simulate the shields breaking?

Hold Up. If the covs needed Cortana, and 6 didn’t have it when they ganged up on him. Wouldn’t they need to capture him alive to extract the location of Cortana. 🤔🤔🤔
That 1 kid
I mean
They were looking for an artifact when noble was going to extract Halsey, or they would have glassed that place.
The covs intelligence is very good as far as I know.
That 1 kid Remember Reach
Noble Six didn't have Cortana after the pillar of autumn left Reach and he also didn't have the device on his back. The only thing he did have of value to the covenant was the information transmitted into his armor. They could scan his armor after they found him to find information on where the pillar of autumn was headed. The coordinates were imbedded in his chest plate and helmet. The only thing they did not have was his helmet thus it took even longer to find the autumn or else they would be able to intercept more battle intel. They only grabbed a homing beacon.
Also note that in the glassing it doesn't officially confirm Noble Six's death. It's still a mystery on whether he is KIA or MIA. Chances are and no telling, the covenant captured him and probably has him locked away in a cryogenic chamber somewhere in the galaxy and are studying pieces of his armor tech that they most likely salvaged. There are also no reports that his armor was glassed. The only thing left behind is his helmet (which is completely useless) probably damaged beyond repair. But let's say the UNSC manages to retrieve it one day and fix it, they would have footage from Noble Six's point of view of the entire incident if they don't already and tried to cover it up.
6 gave cortana to Keyes. So the fact he still has her vessel after the glassing makes no sense.
The animation was good but I'd like to see a little more weight to the movements. Also when they're talking the models heads move like how a power ranger would do it, so try slower movement in general. I did like the voice acting a lot and overall it's really good but those are just some of my but picks 😂

I would agree and one of the things I noticed is that when he was picking up ruble and helping that guy it look really light, like the voice was expressing it was heavy but not the movements
Too much dialogue and emotional reactions, saying that,your keeping the universe alive and that's important we need more from halo,there's so much to tap into, I personally would like to see more gritty honest creations,shorts where the humans fail,where we out smart the covenant, civilian perspectives, soldiers fighting tooth and nail using anything they have no evac available for days,they do well in the books but some of it is too clean sometimes but I loved most of them none the less,
So fair play to you man but my advice would be not to forget what these people are doing and going through on a daily basis,they live death every day,only speak when it's necessary really or for much needed moral support,look at how many times chief spoke and how do we love the Spartan 2's ! Again thank you we need your dedication and support in this community halo inspired me and somehow helped me through school and tough times where I could just immerse myself in being the underdog fighting for something bigger than myself,all greatness comes from that really look at any non-fictional hero in our past nor present they gave themselves fully too a Vision bigge than themselves!
Wonderful feedback. I will take this in account!
@@HaloFollower-Ron How often do these episodes come out.
I hope this is the seed that will bring Halo Machinima's back.
I hope so too
That was amazing. I actually had high hopes for this series, but I never expected this series to be this good when we’re only SEVEN MINUTES IN!!! That. Is. Impressive. The dialogue is incredible for a fan film, the character animations are a bit “choppy” and “jerky,” but even for a fan film, that prologue was breathtaking. Why can’t 343 come up with stuff like this? Instead, they have Halo: Nightfall and that new TV show in which Jacob and Miranda Keyes are suddenly African-American. If you ask me, THAT should be non-canon, not this masterpiece of a fan film. Hey, to anyone who’s participating in The Lost Wolves of Reach, keep up your godlike work, and please, don’t even think about cancelling this show because we all love it and would love to see more.

@@dashythefoxxo6453 omg thank you, I just realized this! Fixed
You misspelled "sacrifice" on what is most important to a Spartan.
@@HaloFollower-Ron your welcome :)
One big thing I didn’t read in the comments already is putting emphasis on the weight of things. Be it a punch, a shot, a blowback, or even picking up or setting down debris, sounds and slower more struggling or weighty animations are pretty useful in creating the effect.
Wow, holy shit, this was impressive. The cinematography was astoundingly good. Really feels like you're in the world and perfectly encapsulates how chaotic the fall of Reach would be. Voice actors and animation are damn good too. I'm looking forward to the next entry!
Hopefully noble 6 lives in this.
The hologram strongly implies that. He's the demon- Spartan- the Covenant is looking for.
@カモメcheegulls I don't think so, because it is a genuinely good hope to have for someone who just hadn't finished the video before commenting
A good start, my tip is that the movement is too fast. It´s like they move without their armor on.
I mean they are supposed to, yeah maybe some 'clanking' but their speed is on point, read comics, they are 'bonded' with the armor via mind so they move in sync. Just being a bit of a nerd, nothing mean was meant.
Spartan 3s have lesson armour than Spartan 2s therefore I think the movement was fine.
@@camioso No they don't they 3s are wearing the same Armour as 2s you're thinking of SPI
Guys... I´m talking about the enemies too. I´m not talking about lore... Even though the spartans armor are bonded, they still have 2 tons of weight on them.
Im just saying if there´s armor on, the movement shouldn´t be that fast. Just like slow it down by 10-15%
Some parts were perfect and other parts were a bit too quick :D
GuitarSpike1 nah read the books. They’re SUPPOSED to be that fast. It’s not just typical armor. It’s increases their strength and SPEED.
“Spartans Never Die”
"They are only missing in action."
“They are only busy banging”
Every spartan is a being of hope, they shine a light in the dark, the covenant is a being of a lied god and so for will crumble down to its knees
This is red vs blue quality credit to all who made this amazing series I'm hooked already such a good spot to have a story
“You’re pissed, aren’t ya? Yeah? Well, I’m pissed too!”
@animal and game lover *pissed
And it's a quote from the episode
This takes passion to a whole new level- I love it-
Great, but in the thumbnail the red guy has his right arm. CLiCk bAit!
Honestly the writing is weak, the animation looked cool aside from a few moments that looked really awkward to watch. The dialogue felt unnatural and forced, too much tell and not enough show. The scene where Sam ran out of ammo didnt need all the talking it had. A simple fix could be to just have Sam empty his clip, have the gun dry fire a bit and him look around for a weapon without having to walk the audience through his thought process. Spartans are the equivalent to Navy Seals, they are special warfare operatives. They would carry themselves with more composure. Maybe get an armed forces expert on your team to advise on what's more authentic.
The fight choreography doesn't flow, the pacing takes me out of the scene. Again there really doesn't need to be that much talking, there are other ways to fill the silence like simply focusing on the music and the sound effects.
This was very visually pleasing, the camera angles were good aside from a few moments in the fight scene.
This is just an opinion from a random dude on the internet. Take it with a grain of salt.
How often do these episodes come out.
As far as I’m concerned, this is canon 😁. When it’s all done it will be part of my halo marathon 😁😁😁😁
Love this maybe less talking? Could be narratively difficult but that could add to the story in itself🤷♂️
• toffee • I would bang that spartan
Loved it! Can't wait to see more like this. I would love to help develop it in any way I can. Lots of love from Scotland! 😁🏴
The covenant sounded DOPE. That Sangheili at the end reminded me of Megatron from Transformers.
I'm impressed with the quality but theres alot of inaccuracies. Don't get me wrong I understand the time and hard work put into this but I just have some ideas moving forward. You kinda dumbed down the Spartans like they're ODSTs or infantry. Spartans are aware of the mission and the cost and they're very tactical in mindset. So number one MJOLNIR keeps track of the vitals of the Spartan to an almost crazy level. So the wearer of the armor would know what was wrong with themself. MJOLNIR armor has built in counter measures in case of injury. So where you're state he has blood lose outloud that wouldn't be a thing the armors internal systems would've read his vitals applied antiseptic and patched his wound with bio foam to clot it. People really underestimate Spartan Armor because even without sheilds the armor is battle ship rated. When Red team came outta free fall over Reach falling through the atmosphere with no parachute they either died or sustained broken bones but there was no inbetween. If anything since Glen was pinned under heavy rubble maybe his armor would go into lock down mode. This is what we see happen to cheif in Halo 3. Also my other problem there's no way an enemy would get the jump on him unless he wasn't paying attention to the motion tracker which is hard beleive since Spartans train their lives to litterally live in the same armor for years at a time. But we see that's not the case because he knew before Glen knew. The armor's motion tracking pings red for unidentified movement and friendly tags are marked green or yellow identified by UNSC ID chips built into even standard infantry armor. Also the dialogue is poorly written for the Elite Captian. He needs to speak with more authority and religious conviction. Elites always finish by saying something like "Glory to the Prophets" or "Behold Brothers the Holy Journey is Upon us!!!" They also probably would've called the case an Icon, false idol, or Hersey in some form.
Thank you.
7:05 it’s Donnell not Donnel just so you know
Spartan movement could use some adjustments, kinda reminds me of red vs blues early cgi days. Maybe a little less monologue during fights to. Other than that, pretty compelling
Some of the highest quality artistic expression that's come out of the Halo Community since Halo 3. The animation, lighting, shot composition, etc was fantastic. That being said, the writing was definitely it's weakest point, and I know how hard it is to get voices to match their position in a room, but you did a decent job there as well. Could be better, but decent. All things considered I'm excited to see where this leads. Keep up the impressive work. Get hired.
Thanks for the feedback! The writing was rushed, as ep 0 was a practical and technical test. It will be much better next time! Better planned too.
Some critiques I have is some of the audio is unnecessary like when Sam was talking while fighting the hunter. The animation (especially the hunter fight) was great other than when Sam ran to Glenn. It would also be great to see some voice effects for the brutes and elites but overall it was amazing and I’m excited to see more.
I’m so glad to see a halo reach series! Well done on this. Can’t wait to get to know more about Sam and the rest of his squad in the next episode.
Very freakn impressed by the work that went into this!I was fully immersed,felt longer than its actual run time.great story setting established,the articulation in the parts,the background.
Only a few things that bugged me.When the fight starts it looks weird with the way he was smacking the shield,too cartoon like.His combat style was very uncontrolled.Spartans arent street fighters.I dont expect him to be flipping like bruce lee but he should be fighting as if his armor actually was helping him or atleast as if he went through military training. In some scenes,his stance was kinda strange too.I think it wouldve been more effective if the downed spartan had a forearm ripped off and was bleeding out rather than a cybernetic arm detached.I wouldve had an elite find them rather than a hunter,i feel like the hunter wouldve shot 1st and asked questions later while the elite wouldve gave an honourable fight.
Im only listing this things so you may look back and improve,not to criticize.
This... this is everything I want from a fan animation. The animation, the script, the characters and choreography, it's all so good and it feels exactly like Halo. Despite being so short, it felt so much like a masterpiece and..yeah, I'm lost for words.
A few things felt like they should be out of place, but I couldn't care less because of how rare something like this is. I just hope that the rest of the series is as good as this, because I'm tired of waiting for the Darth Vader fan series to keep going.
Great premiere my dudes! I like it all. Well done on using Reach soundtrack especially the use of Last minute of The Package in the covenant scene! I’m hooked you guys can’t stop
I haven’t watched a halo series since halo 3. This is amazing!
Man, after watching 40k Pariah Nexus. Then watching this again, hits me so hard
Overall this was good, but I think there are a couple of parts that stand out and make it not as great as it could be.
There is a lot of talking in the combat scene with the Hunter. I get the feeling that Spartans are a bit more focused on the combat and less on making meaningless quips.
Also, the Brute and the Elite seem to make weird jerky movements when talking. I know they're aliens, but it looks uncontrolled and a little goofy. And the elite armour is wrong I believe.
Other than that this has potential :)
I’m hooked. Officially hooked.
Animation was a bit rough in a few places, but considering this is animated by one guy (and probably in little time), this is beautiful.
I took close attention to the sword the spartan was using when fighting with the hunter. And also what type it was. It was from titanfall 2and it's most commonly seen in the hands of Ronin Prime. (Titan)
Halo and titanfall same universe confirmed
3:10 it’s spelled “hangar” not “hanger” just fyi
Oh... now I know!
Nani?
@@gdomtz2 what?
@@StainderFin Nani?
2:17 "Polaris" is mispronounced.
Great job on this, can’t wait for more👍🏻
*Are you guys looking for any more voice actors? I’ve voiced in over 40 projects, many of them being for Halo! Including a handful of videos for Covenant Canon!*
This looks amazing I can’t wait for the rest of the episode’s to come out! I haven’t been excited for a series like this in awhile
Ok I think we can all agree the only excitement similar to the type you’re experiencing is probably excitement for the Mandalorian
Chase Freedman you right
This was awesome, I can't wait for more to come out.
I will say hhahaha to the kids that are in school rn and cant watch this magnum opus
I'm watching it in lunch rn lol
still on vacation :0
Just some constructive criticism....the voice acting is far from what Spartans communicate like.
Lots of people have critiqued this! We've made some big changes in the next episode!!
I loved it definitely, want to see more but I honestly hope the audio is tweaked more. In some instances you can't hear what someone is saying clearly. The music either over-powers the voices and or the voices are too quiet. The music definitely pops in a little too much I feel like specific choice and tweaks with Music/Volume/timing according to the whole animation and situation at hand would make this series even better! I hope I see more emotion and respective music choice with more pauses. All in all amazing!
Emile: I'm ready how b'out you
Zealot be like naaa bro I'm good
Im in school but i will watch this
yo it's 1:00 am at my place im still watchin this
Sick haha, one complaint tho : Hunters ALWAYS travel in pairs. Well that’s what Buck says lol
Check the next episode ;)
BriskHound ohhh ok haha 😎👍
@@nikotortilla6550 did you see it? 😎
BriskHound yessuh!!!! 🤘😂
I absolutely love this! Stephen Carlock (The voice of Sam) told me that you recast him. Hopefully this is for the best, because he did a great job!
Production quality is top notch and you nailed it on every technical level. Only critique I could give is the writing on the Spartan characters. They behave more like Spartan IVs or Marines/ODSTs to me. If that's the style you wanna go with go for it my dude, but if you wanna be more reflective of the Spartan IIIs in universe I'd review the ones on display in Ghosts of Onyx or reference Noble Team from the campaign. Again, excellent work my dude 👌
This is a big feedback point. I am making adjustments for the next episode!!
@@HaloFollower-Ron glad you're considering it man. Tried to be as constructive as I could. I really enjoyed it. The animation especially is top notch work. Would love to see more series like this pop up in the future 👌
the wild like head movements are totally unnecessary. Rest all is masterpiece moreover the last scene looked like it was from Bungie themselves.
Spartans were known to be Twitchy. Keep the fast movements. They perceive time slower, so they move faster.
@@Unseen_Halo well i dont think so they did it to make them look faster, instead they did so to try and capture the natural head moments humans make while talking or to simply express their emotions (no one can know better then me in this case, as i am from india) but they were not able to pull it off right as the head moments were a little bit what can i say.... janky and felt totally unnatural to me. It was like the doctor strange from infinity wars on the titan seeing the future kinda head moments but for the whole time for no necessary reason. I respect your opinion too, but in this case it was done for the reason i told you above.
@@theencore398 Now that you say that. That makes sense. They did it to be expressive. And in the books the only expression was the universal spartan smile hand gesture
I love it but the only thing that bugs me is the running
YO LES GO!
TIME TO WATCH THIS! #HYPE!
Edit: Watched it and fricking that was great. I just hope Glenn survives, and I already love Sam has a character. Can't wait to see what happens to this.
This animation was awesome, great job. You just gotta work on the running
Writing needs some improvement, animation seems a little off too, but I'm more concerned with dialogue. You can still have a memorable series with ok animation as long as the writing is top notch. I like the action sequence concept but there was way too much talking from Sam. Honestly don't think a "sword" that comes out of no where should have been used.. Its kinda bad ass don't get me wrong but doesn't seem right. Maybe like a piece of rebar would have felt more appropriate given their surroundings. I did absolutely love that Noble Six still kicking though! This is all just my opinion, you guys do you :)
Okay okay. Ever played Crysis? Imagine a crossover with Prophet and Noble 6
holy
shit
The animation quality is incredible. The scene builds, the movement, outstanding work man! Love the addition of Ronin's sword :D
Good stuff bro keep up the good work I was in my phone gulled to this video I watched it like 7 Time’s and still can’t believe what I was watching continue the series pls 😍😍😍😍😍
Solid episode. Only critiques are smoother animations and the importance of silence....what I felt should have been a quiet moment or with minimal talking were flooded with Sam talking just a bit too much
The only thing I’d work on guys is the audio echo. (But keep in mind idk anything about editing so it’s just a suggestion from a random guy who likes halo and loves this already. This spartan just turned into Thor. Ooh have a spartan named thor 🤗)
My only criticism is the lack of audio. I want to hear ever motion, every scratch and foot step, ever breath. If that was added this would be the best fan animation I've ever seen
Should add audio effects to make things distorted or blend with the background it sounded a bit too much like a studio quality microphone instead of burning down city the background music did a good enough job adding intensity to the sound alone, other than that and a bit too smooth of animation for a spartan wearing heavy armor I thought it was amazing can’t wait to see more PS. Just trying to give general advice not a hater
Only critique I have is the running animation is too narrow and almost feminine for him. His legs and arms need to be further spread apart to look right. That’s all I have to say. Also raise the shoulders a bit.
Spartan llls were orphaned children of the covenant human war and ultimately volunteered for the program. This would give them a certain level of maturaty already. Mind set.
stuff were colliding with each other abit but I thought this was soo good nobody really has made an animation based on reach getting glassed.keep up the masterpiece.
This needs more publicity. Like, millions of views. Not tens of thousands.
Not bad man! Brush up a bit more on Spartan and Covie behavior and ability to get an accurate idea of how they behave and what they can do but other then that looks great! Cant wait for more!
This is the way! Amazingly done, well written, superbly directed!
I liked it. The story is a little choppy, but I can tell if you keep at it you will make some great stuff. Please make more.
That run animation at 3:00 was stellar
