A Graphic Novel... Fanmade
Demonelite wanted to put together a Halo graphic novel using in-game shots, modified in Photoshop - last night's announcement of an official one prompted him to post his efforts so far. (There are higher-res versions in this post.) Fantastic stuff! (Louis Wu 20:25:58 UTC) (permalink)
Dreaming...
SteelGaribaldi noticed that Halo showed up in today's Foxtrot. Heh. (Louis Wu 18:54:39 UTC) (permalink)
Animation - Halo Dream
Gah - and even one MORE! (Last one of the night - I promise. I have some green beer to drink!) enigMa sent a link to this YouTube vid - it's a Halo dream animation he made for class. Pretty nice work! (Louis Wu 02:59:42 UTC) (permalink)
Fragging Rights
And in case you're not movied-out, you can swing by Halo2Forum, and grab a copy of shook on3's montage. Really, REALLY heavy on the effects... but the sniping's quite good, and there are a couple of very cool clips which use great machinima techniques in a pretty unique way, as far as montages go. 103 mb, WMP9 format. (5:33 long.) First heads-up came from shoeler, but I don't generally post H2F links unless they come from Z (which this one did, eventually). Update: There's a QuickTime version here (61.3 mb) for anyone who needs it. (Louis Wu 02:47:44 UTC) (permalink)
Major Tom Diaries - St. Patty's Day
I was totally wrong when I said the movie night was ending; there are more. Dennis Powers pointed out a St. Pattys Day tribute from EchoZuluFilms that I didn't get to in time... go grab a copy now. 16.6 mb in WMP9 format, 18.3 mb in QuickTime format. (Louis Wu 02:30:17 UTC) (permalink)
Take Tucker instead... he can't explode.
The Red vs Blue crew has been busy - Episode 76, 'Two for One', went up for sponsors a few hours ago. (That means freeloaders can grab a copy on Sunday, probably.) Sarge proves he's not the pointiest chevron on the sleeve, Tucker is... well, I can't tell you, and Caboose is sad. Very, very sad. Eight and a half minutes of RvB goodness round out this Friday movie night here at HBO! Thanks to Psychophan7 for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 02:04:51 UTC) (permalink)
Frantic's Montage Trailer, by Halzred
Halzred submitted a montage trailer he'd created for Frantic to the MPRRS - and the reviewers liked it. You can grab a copy in WMP9 format (21.5 mb) or QuickTime format (23.8 mb)... the final montage should be pretty cool! (Side note: hisTALLness, check your email, wouldja? I've now sent three emails to you about YOUR montage, with no response... and you clearly want it posted.) (Louis Wu 01:59:55 UTC) (permalink)
For those who love Halo art...
Wow. Bungie's Weekly Update is certainly worth reading this week... they've announced what looks to be a pretty darned spectacular product, coming this summer... a Halo Graphic Novel, put together by some amazing names. Go read it; I can't do it justice with a news post. (It's at B.net, of course, but it's also local, in the BWU Archive.) If you're wondering about that link name... check this forum post from earlier this afternoon. Moral of the story - Frankie can be petty, don't cross him. (Louis Wu 01:36:38 UTC) (permalink)
River Styx
Elnea (who's known around here for her artwork, and around Red vs Blue for her funny journals) and OboeCrazy (who's not known around here at all, but is pretty visible at RvB) put together a trailer for an upcoming machinima that does what hasn't been done yet, that I know of - it incorporates footage from Halo, the Sims, and World of Warcraft (and in fact integrates them, so a Sims character is talking to a Pelican pilot who's flying over a WoW landscape, for example); this is pretty cool stuff. You can grab a copy in a whole bunch of different flavors:
- MedRes - 540x360: QT (28.7 mb) | DivX (20.6 mb) | WMP9 (30.9 mb)
- LowRes - 360x240: QT (11.6 mb) | DivX (11.2 mb) | WMP9 (11.6 mb)
Actually, the large WMP9 is 720x480... but I was too lazy to cut it down. (The 540 versions actually look better, in my opinion.) Go grab one... and then let them know what you think of the idea! (Louis Wu 00:49:31 UTC) (permalink)
