It Doesn't Remind Me
Yesterday, SNOWBLIND1717 submitted 'It Doesn't Remind Me', a Halo music video set to Audioslave's song of the same name, to the MPRRS; they liked it. Syncing's not perfect - but it's quite good, and his choices for action are inspired. (The onscreen activity matches the song really well.) Go watch! WMP9 version is 22.3 mb, QuickTime version is 23.7 mb. And go visit his website, as well. (Louis Wu 20:23:31 UTC) (permalink)
...And 'Frankie' A Biography by...
Today's One One Se7en looks at the news of more Halo novels... through a prism. Shattered when the drunk carrying it dropped it. And all the pieces scattered when he fell on them. (Louis Wu 18:54:05 UTC) (permalink)
The Marty Army Music
Wow. A note came in last week, I spaced on posting it, the submitter was kind enough to send it again (politely), I spaced AGAIN. Someone needs to hire a real news guy for this place... the one we've got ain't cutting it. ANYWAY, the note was from Andrew Matlock, who is a member of the Marty Army, as well as someone interested in facilitating interaction among musicians inspired by Halo. He's set up a website which offers to help you share your Halo-related music, in addition to keeping track of composer profiles and music product reviews. All genres and styles are welcomed - the only common thread must be inspiration by Marty. Check out the upload page... submit your work... and when there's some content to show you, we'll be sure to mention it! (Hopefully in a more timely manner than this newspost.)

Del Toro - in? Or out?
Saturday morning, Tempus Fugit pointed out a news item at Ain't It Cool News, in which Mike Mignola (the artist behind the Hellboy comics) suggested that Guillermo Del Toro was never really considering the Halo movie project, and that Hellboy 2 was next on his plate after all. This is not confirmation that Del Toro has taken himself out of the running for the position of Director - in fact, if you wanna get technical, he's never actually been confirmed (by Microsoft, Bungie, Universal, or Peter Jackson - the only entities/groups officially involved at this point) as being IN the running... but Mike M. seems like someone who might know some stuff. Thanks also to 3Suns, who reminded me that I hadn't posted this during the weekend. (Louis Wu 17:51:44 UTC) (permalink)
Get a Leg Up.
The series of auctions we mentioned for the huge Halo 2 sign that hung in Kings Cross in Sydney, Australia for several months last year kicked off last night - there's an article about it on Bungie.net's front page (and, unsurprisingly, a 'First' note by Frankie on our forum). The first piece is a chunk of the MC's arm and leg. I can't tell how big it is from the pic - but the entire sign was broken up into only 8 pieces... so it's probably pretty darned huge.

Chaos on the Creek
Wow. We fixed the MPRRS upload problem, and in short order 6 movies entered the system. The first one in was the first one out - successfully. jamie98s (previously known primarily for his 'Oh So Beautiful' series) created 'Chaos on the Creek', a story of two factions that decide they can't live together. Cinematography is awesome - watch this one for the camerawork alone, even if you don't like the story. (Which is pretty good in its own right.) Grab it in WMP9 format (29.1 mb) or QuickTime format (28.3 mb). Awesomeness. (Louis Wu 01:52:39 UTC) (permalink)
