Chronicles
Gutupio has taken the honor of producing the very first HUDless Halo movie; it's called 'Chronicles', and a 20.5 mb version is being hosted by Coerce.net right now. There's no dialogue, but it's not needed; the action tells the story. (Greens kill one innocent Red and kidnap another, a third Red vows revenge and wipes out most of the greens before rescuing his buddy... with some added twists, of course.) Overall, pretty well done. The current version is a 640x480 DivX-encoded AVI - when there's time (and bandwidth), I'll add a QuickTime version to the mix. Update: Gutupio clarified that 'Chronicles' simply describes the work, and the closest thing it has to a title is 'Entry 1'... and Narcogen has mirrored a copy over at Rampancy.net. Update2: a number of people have pointed out that the FTC vids are, for all intents and purposes, HUDless, and have been for months. While it's true that there is no HUD onscreen (and they've done an amazing job overall), the fact remains that the FTC vids are cropped, ever so slightly (64 pixels off the large versions); Gutupio's vid is the first to be released at full 4:3 resolution with no HUD.
