Halo: The Final Words - Fan Animation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 дек 2024
- Very loosely based on the event of Halo: CE and loosely based on a short story made by @Ashguy733 I found in a youtube comment of a Halo CEA Soundtrack video.
===============================================
I had to make a lot of workarounds to create this project because of the lack of assets, time, and skill. i.e:
I planned to use Halo 2 Anniversary models to capture Halo: CE's aesthetic much better but unfortunately I can't seem to make the rigging works so I had to use Halo Infinite's Elite models. Thankfully Infinite's Elite looks really nice.
The setting itself was supposed to be in the Halo's Control Room but unfortunately I couldn't find the assets needed to recreate the scene by the time I started this project. So I took some liberty to make it set during the first hour the UNSC and Covenant landed on the Ring.
So please don't expect SODAZ quality of animation. And it's been almost 2 years since I last touched SFM. My first intention was just to use Sergio's story as a Voice Acting practice but my intrusive thoughts compeled me to make it into a full short film.
===============================================
Thanks to the Voice Actors and all the 3D artists who imported the models into SFM and GMOD.
Hopefully, this is only the first part of a full series in the future.

I do not own any of the assets I used for this film. All assets belong to Microsoft.

I must have watched this 4 times over.....this was beautiful to see and the General certainly earned the title of Zealot! His VA really embodied how I imagined him in my head. He had perfect movements and grace for his character, this was really well done and Im really honoured. You got it out so quickly too! Great stuff!
Thank you and I'm glad that I stumbled upon your comment! Your story was perfect to practice and test my skill on animating, filmmaking, and voice acting!
Glad that I managed to capture the character of the general as close as possible as the way you intended. That means you described him really well from the monologue you have written. Please continue writing as you have a real talent for it! Once again, thank you and I'm honored that you are happy with how it turns out! Hopefully I can see more of your writings! Have a great day!
@@arquitensproduction8001 Glad to be of service, I do have a few monologue and scripts for a few Halo shorts if you want them. Specifically a short about a Elite Councilor and his advisor adjusting to the changes in the Covenant before the events of their deaths in Halo 2. There is more action in that script then the comment story I made in this.
@@Ashguy733 Please do! So far a lot of people who have watched this really like the part that you wrote! So to have more stories as options to choose from you would be great. Would love to read that story about councilor as well since I have the model of them and I really want to use them in a story (still figuring out the rigging for it, though). Just like this one, you'll be properly credited as the writer!
@@arquitensproduction8001I posted a script in the Kusovai's Halo 3 Roll Call comments if you wish to use it, you have my permission. I do intend to work backwards from that script and showcase the events leading up to the script posted there.
Yooo this was a very engaging story and fun animation, please make more!!
Wow! Thank you very much! I will!
The grunt spinning his plasma pistol was seriously cute
Agree! Saw one of the grunts did that in Halo Infinite so I had to put one in as well
Absolutely loved it! The General probably was my favorite character in this film, his fighting must be amazing! Also one scene I thought was amusing was at 4:43 when they were dropping down, the Blue Elite on the right fell haha. 10/10 Film for Halo!
Thank you! The general strikes me as an honourable zealot when I first read Sergio's (the main writer for this animation) story. I'm glad that I was able to deliver and do justice to his character! Hopefully we'll see more of him in my future project!
Happy that you find that bit amusing hahaha it was me just goofing around when I just want to finish the animation and couldn't think of more heroic pose, so I just made him fell lol
This was beautiful to watch to see elites fight their last fight knowing they won’t make it
Damn man, really gonna make me root for the General against Chief, lmao. Amazing animation and story!
thank you very much!!
Amazing!!!! always loved the "general being respectful to soldiers" vibe, but seeing this on the enemy side is incredible, specially with the elite's honor and will to fight
Thank you! I've been yearning to see more Halo stories from the Covenant perspective especially from the Elites but there aren't too many of it. At least in film formats or games. And when I saw someone wrote about that character, I immediately thought to make it into an animated short. I too also love the respectful and honorable leader vibe and teaching his subordinates to be one as well!
Humanizing the Covenant how dare lol. Great story btw.
I spread your video on covenant canons disc server, 00’s server, Markthecrawlers server and the official halo hub.
Please for the love of god make more of these, and keep testing your limits
I'm happy for the support!
Thank you very much! I appreciate it greatly.
This was absolutely beautiful. Not gonna lie, I thought it was going to be a silly little animation when the grunts appeared at first, but it turned out as a little glimpse of what Halo can also be and how amazing it is. Halo for me has always been a story about perspectives, and it was ironically, with all the killing and stuff, the way I learned from little without knowing how important empathy and understanding was. With as much fun as I had playing the games, I remember asking myself in CE why we were fighting the covenant. I just couldn’t understand the concept of intelligent species fighting for the sake of fighting. And then Halo 2 arrived, and showed me the covenant’s perspective, which made me even more frustrated, to think that the whole time they’ve been killing each other because of religious beliefs, and ultimately, lack of communication. We know now that it was the prophets plan all along so the covenant couldn’t learn the importance of humans, but imagine what could’ve been if they just talked 😂 Then Halo 3 came out and it made me very happy to see at least the elites in the game ally with humanity, put aside their differences and forgive their past conflicts. I would have liked to see grunts too, but that might be difficult to handle, friendly fire and all that 😅
The line are something i would expect from bungie, who are you? Good shit dude!
Thank you! The General's monologue was written by Sergio Ruiz which he wrote as a comment in a youtube video. I translated it through animation and voice acting :)
Very well done! This is only the beginning
Thanks! It sure is only the beginning ;)
This is cool
This was a great watch and the va work was great as well keep it up too bad we all know what happens to the covent when chief is around
thank you very much for the kind comment!
Indeed. Even if they survived the encounter with Chief, they would most likely commit self-deletion out of shame :(
love me some covenant side story shit man great job.
Final Words So Sad I Hope His In The Great Journey
The was great. The animation was really good and the story and dialogue was well made. The only thing I thought was a little off was the fact that the elites should have much deeper voices as they sounde just a tad bit too human here, but other than that it was fantastic.
Hi, thank you for the feedback! :D I used Rtas's voice as a reference since a lot of the Elite's main characters (H2 and H3) have deep smooth human voice but with subtle accent. However, I couldnt find the sweet spot to make the filtered layered voice they had in H2 and H3 to make it more "alien".
@arquitensproduction8001 The filter and the accent were actually really good, it's just that the voices themselves needed to be a little bit deeper and more baritone.
@@CloneCommanderCrater1102 noted! This insight might prove useful for future projects! Thank you
@arquitensproduction8001 Happy to help! I look forward to the future projects you might make, whether they be Halo, Star Wars, or something else.
4:43 That poor Sangheili 😂😂😂
😂at least he tried
"GAAH FUCK! Ugh i never land these...:
amazing animation and acting! never knew it's only inspired by a youtube comment 😂
Thank you! He made a real good story for real!
This is great
Thank you!
@@arquitensproduction8001cannot wait for more
awwwww, i wanted to see them get kicked by chief
All that speech only to get annihilated in 10 seconds by Chief
halo infnite/halo 5 belike@@arquitensproduction8001
this was made in sfm??? dang pretty good
yes it was! Thank you :D
i tryed useing sfm but i couldnt find out how to use it. so i use gmod insted works a little bit betterish@@arquitensproduction8001
Final worts*
I'm new at SFM but this is impressive how did you make it so smooth and other animations stay in place??
Hello and thanks!
It was mostly back and forth process. I did some blockings/storyboarding using step tangents and do pose to pose every few frames each (each 5 frames for example). Then I do some inbetween poses for frame 2, 3, and 4 then 6, 7, 8 and so on. Once its done doing a whole movement, I selected all the keyframes and spline them and do some corrections for the details :)
can you add subtitles, your accents just a tad bit hard to understand.
Oof! I legit thought already added the subtitles. Thanks for telling me this, I'll add it soon!
soon?@@arquitensproduction8001
Been 7 months where are they?
Not bad
thank you!
I thought tje Elite's accent was funny
hahaha which one? Or is it all of them?
@@arquitensproduction8001 all of them
@@da_man2777 ahhh, I see. What makes you think their accent is funny? I'd love to hear some inputs from you if its something that I can improve for future projects
@@arquitensproduction8001 not funny in a bad way, funny like it makes me laugh. It adds personality to their character.
