That was insanely well done! I loved the comedy and the entire aesthetic. The movements and techniques used were crisp and inspiring, bravo dude 👏 👏👏👏👏 You've outdone yourself! 🔥🔥🔥

[@hollowsteel]

Big thanks! It’s definitely the video I’ve tried my hardest to edit and animate.

[@radgreen2373]

[@RapidActionAnimations]

Nice job man! You’ve improved a lot. The easing in and out was overal much better in this film than some of your past works. The audio design was simple but well done. The sets were detailed and varied. The only tip I’d have for you is to make your first person shots more zoomed in to show less of the tip of the shoulder where his armour piece is and more of the actual lower arm parts. Great stuff man really enjoyed this.

[@hollowsteel]

I didn’t notice that until you pointed it out, thanks for the advice!

[@_Loft_Studios_]

This is awesome!!! 2:10 This part gave me Zelda Breath of the Wild temple vibes! I loved the active camo elite following master chief! Amazing job!

[@hollowsteel]

Thanks loft!

[@idiotbakashini2025]

You are very x100 underrated

[@SpartanBrix]

This is awesome. I can tell you changed up the scenery for every part, instead of having multiple sets ready to go. I respect that, I might utilize that in the future.

[@hollowsteel]

Thanks dude!

[@florence9606]

Nice use of various environments, and the flow of combat was easy to follow. Also liked the touch of the ultra shadowing chief for the whole vid only to keep missing his chances to take him out, reminded me of the spec ops elite from CE who you only see once on an elevator at the very end of the game but has a wild backstory in the books on how he kept trying and failing to kill Chief.

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Honestly this would make for a pretty great level! Well done Hollow. Risk Of Rain 2 music at the end 🥰

Me on my way to excavate a lemurian orphanage with 5+ brilliant behemoths and 10 soldier syringes.

[@catgoreeestudios9460]

amazing i loved it may suggest a little less blue tack but man was the animation smooth and the effects were amazing

[@proboanimations3767]

Dang this is amazing the set is good, like the first person shooter and the music and the sound vfx are great, story line is awesome 👏

[@chonkychief1400]

Wow this was amazing! Great sounds and animation, and a great use of first person animation! Awesome video and keep up the amazing work!

[@AdeneTzr]

the ultra elite disappointment after chief got away lol

[@aaronruffanimations]

man you are amazing at stopmotion! you should make a part 2!

[@MICHIGANONTOP]

Love the team name

[@twiptwip8203]

I like the hard lighting on gun shots nice work for a long animation like this

[@Halomegaconstrux2783]

This was really good. I could tell how long it took it probably take a long time.

I like the idea of a Spartan hunter

[@evaneywalker1529]

Wow that is just so awesome great job soon I will download my videos

is that what i hear? YEZ FUNGAL WASTES MAIN THEME!!. btw, this is AWSOME, i love the quality of these stop motions, they're great, dont stop

I like how the end actually ties into halo infinites campaign

[@AndrewCoffmanAnimation]

This is my favorite of yours so far, great work!

[@menzelliSpartan]

Nice work I like how you made the effects and the blood

Thanks! Practical effects are the best!

[@nobleattack5321]

I love the animation and the music choice from begging to end, all of you guys did an outstanding job!

[@ghst4824]

Wow! Just subscribed man this needs more likes! Hopefully you get more subscribers this was insane! Very well done!

[@hollowsteel]

Thank you!

[@Blu-Imperial]

I really like how almost every enemy is in red making it feel like this is the same banished armor design from Halo Wars 2 even though I understand for infinite they wanted to have vibrant colors for them I don't mind it's still a cool detail.

[@hollowsteel]

Banish red go brrr

[@SolracJr0722]

Incredibly smooth! Great work! 💥💯👏

[@ZetaMotions]

These are great dude! Like to see you upload more often

[@zealotking67]

Glad I didn't have to wait too long to watch this. I really liked the Risk of Rain 2 music in the credits

[@hollowsteel]

Lacrimosum def goes hard

[@zealotking67]

Oh completely

[@stzyspartan316]

damn bro, your stop motions are god tier

[@prince_morgan-wym]

You’re right

[@JoeFilms5420]

I love your environment designs. And the way you used voices from the games was really nice. This gives me older stop motion vibes in all the best ways.

[@JoeFilms5420]

Also having finished the animation, the idea of a collab is super cool! I look forward to seeing it finished!

[@hollowsteel]

Thank you! I really do want to capture more of those older animations (especially the ones by FatBird Things). I’ve always been a fan of using the toy like nature of mcx to get away with goofier comedy that would probably seem out of place in a more serious animation.

[@get_spanked240]

Good job 👍🏻, I always appreciate how much time goes into these vids. Only critique would be maybe have more wider shots for establishing new scenes so it feels more dynamic and less confusing to the viewer when transitioning (like going from the marine base back to the outside world).

[@hollowsteel]

Thanks for the suggestions! I appreciate any criticism I get!

[@get_spanked240]

@@hollowsteel that’s a good trait to have. Not many people are good at having criticism. But in the long run, it really is helpful to make you better at your craft.

[@halomegafilms2924]

Wait a second. This chief is an imposter! He swam in water and didn’t die!! Great stop motion man

[@hollowsteel]

He do be actin quite sus doe-

Nice vid

[@GalacticStuff]

Great work, it must have taken forever to animate and edit, well done from another animator👍👏You earned a new sub

[@hollowsteel]

Much appreciated man!

[@Weasel_dud]

Great vid

[@spunkyyy8957]

I love your work man. When I finally moved into my new house I was thinking of trying to animate. Clearly I have no chance against you.

[@hollowsteel]

Don’t let that discourage you! Instead, it’s better to view it as a challenge, something to motivate you! I didn’t get to this level immediately, it was a slow and gradual climb, something that I think we’re all capable of.

[@kidzdecker2960]

Keep it up you got a good future

[@MainStrqtsChannel]

This is great I don’t know how this channel has 914 subs because this is great Your really talented,also I subscribed :) .

[@hollowsteel]

Thank you!

[@mexicano_]

Fun fact: When the Banished speak alien, they use the Sangheili language with a heavy Jiralhanae dialect. So the dialogue is pretty accurate

[@hollowsteel]

Well, I feel like it helps to be more accurate to the lore because I used sound files for halo reach and halo 3 brutes.

[@EliteiousProductions]

That was sweet as man!

[@prince_morgan-wym]

1:18 I laughed when I seen this

[@Playgroundprodigy]

Cool 👍

[@PackHunter117]

Fantastic. Only nit picks are the AR used the Halo 3 sound, the Commando and Bulldog and Jetpacks sounded different, and the Shock Rifle used the Beam Rifle sound. Also my preference hates seeing Elites use human weapons despite them doing it in the game. But still loved the action and story telling. Loved the Brute Chieftain character. Too bad there isn’t a way to better hide the blue stuff on their feet

[@hollowsteel]

Yeah... I don’t have access to halo infinite’s sound files, so I just used halo 3 sounds. In fact, almost all sounds in the animation are from halo 3 (except for the footsteps, which were all from fallout new Vegas).

[@ItsHj117]

awesome!

[@Celtikv]

I would like see one were the brutes are really a menace and throw a spartan/marine like nothing

[@Rookplaysz]

Hey man I know this was done four months ago but I have to say it's amazing! You did so well and I have to say adding in the grapple was an insanely good touch! Edit: Also the flame marine at 7:07 was perfect XD

[@hollowsteel]

Thanks! I always try to read comments on older videos!

[@Angel-uw2et]

Mira ese potencial

[@vraptor-the1st]

Now I know I am late to this, but I never commented when it came out, so I will do it now. I honestly forgot how much I liked this. It is absolutely incredible. Lighting, set, even the banished pop n swap custom figures. The music was fitting as well. The halo 3 brute voice was a perfect fit for that chieftain. I would also like to say that I am sorry the Collab never came to fruition. Things weren't all right though. But at least you got this amazing piece of work. Honestly this comment doesn't really mean a lot, considering it's coming from me, the unpopular guy lol. (Edit: I am slightly confused how that elite moved the rock that big at 1:37)

[@hollowsteel]

Thanks! About that collab, it could’ve gone better. (Could’ve been planned better) but it was a great idea. And no, you’re not the unpopular guy. Stop with that self deprecating stuff- at least not in my KZbin channel. One last thing: the elite didn’t move the rock. It was the ring itself taking the huge rock to place it somewhere else for repairs.

[@DevotedSentry]

This was great dude! When the hill just disappeared I thought there was like an invisible hunter or something. But seriously though, language. I know it's funny, but my parents already made me unsub from a guy for milder stuff than that.

[@proboanimations3767]

It was a Erosion

I don't like furry community and furrys like persons but like in the side of artist, stop motion, animation and more i respect that

[@hollowsteel]

It feels shorter than that somehow

[@mcxproductions]

@@hollowsteel yeah, it’s weird

[@craigstopmotions4239]

This is really good what do you use for the voices

[@hollowsteel]

I usually download my dialogue from thesoundsresource.com (yes that’s its full name) The elite at the end was actually recorded by a dude who offered to voice act a character for me.

[@victoriadominguez347]

Esta buenísima la animación pero porque un elite tiene un arma de la uness

[@catgoreeestudios9460]

also how do you add in the voices from the games as im trying to figure out editing my videos to add weapon and sound effects

[@hollowsteel]

First I download them at a website, and then open iMovie. I put the animation in, and then I add the sounds. I usually do this on a computer.
