Halo 3 Trailer
The movies continue today... this one comes from Lt Tuma, who's shown his ability to put existing clips together in the past. He calls this one 'Halo 3 Trailer' - the majority is already-released footage, but it is interspersed with plenty of well-chosen recorded pieces, and the audio is FANTASTIC. To me, this is a demonstration that a creative flair can make ANY footage work. (The second half is REALLY well-done.) The film is 480x360, and available in both QuickTime (21 mb, bungie.org | mythica.org) or WMP9 (21.6 mb, mythica.org | bungie.org). Grab the flavor of your choice, and check it out. It's full of both Halo 1 and Halo 2 spoilers - just so you know. (Louis Wu 13:53:06 UTC) (permalink)
Needles in the Sky
Rockslider has worked out reproducible 'Elite Fireworks' for the original Halo - this has been seen before, but now there's a recipe. Fun stuff! (Louis Wu 13:40:15 UTC) (permalink)
Star Wars Trailer (and MPRRS info)
Eep - dontcha hate it when you set something up to make things easier and faster, and it works, and you STILL screw up? On April 20, The7ftman submitted "Star Wars Episode VII The Final Battle", a trailer for an upcoming movie his clan is working on, to the Movie Peer Review Rating System. 9 hours later, the requisite number of reviewers had seen and rated the film, and the overall score was good enough to pass. Now it's almost 3 days after THAT, and the film still hasn't been released. (My fault, entirely.) Pretty short - but then, it's just a trailer. Available in WMP9 format (10.1 mb) and QuickTime format (9 mb). While we're on the subject of the MPRRS, I should mention that Cybrfrk has been working on the information available here; he's updated the "How this tool works" page, the FAQ, and streamlined the front page, maximizing info in minimum space. Poke around - and submit your files! Don't let my slowness discourage you. (Louis Wu 12:49:16 UTC) (permalink)
Sanctuary - now for everyone
As expected, Red vs Blue has released both a high-res and a low-res version of their Sanctuary Walkthrough for the public, in WMP9 format - we've also put up a high-res (12.3 mb) and a low-res (3.2 mb) version in QuickTime. Enjoy. (Louis Wu 12:31:53 UTC) (permalink)
Plains, Trains, and High Charity
Ender Illes also attended Luke Timmins' presentation at the University of Utah, and wrote up a bit more detailed synopsis on our forum. Sounds like a great talk from Luke, and thanks to Ender for the detailed info (at least as much as he was comfortable sharing)! ;-) (mnemesis 04:05:33 UTC) (permalink)
Sanctuary Walkthrough Posted
Over at Red vs Blue, you'll find (if you're a sponsor) high and low-res WMP9 versions of their Sanctuary walkthrough. I'd guess later tonight, or maybe tomorrow morning, these will be available to the masses. We'll have QuickTime versions up sometime tomorrow morning, as well. (No time to work on 'em tonight, sorry.) (Louis Wu 01:25:44 UTC) (permalink)
MONKEYS!
The Weekly What's Update is up over at Bungie.net - info about the upcoming maps, info about why you got banned from XBL this week, info about the leaderboards reset. And oh, yeah, a Mister Chief drawing that makes Leonardo cry. (And I don't mean the ninja turtle.) (Louis Wu 01:23:29 UTC) (permalink)
