Halo (WIP) - Opening Shot - Teaser Clip

Dude, this is like what halo show shouldve been. That whole monologue at the beginning and then the ship? Chills

[@wysoft]

it was pretty disappointing that the series had basically no space battles, and the only time there was ever UNSC fleet action, it looked like they didn't even put up a fight.

"There was only one ship, They called it The Pillar Of Autumn."

​@@beaniebanditanimationGreat minds think alike. - Halsey

[@JustSomeGuy-76]

This is funny to me, because right when the monologue stopped, I was like “it’s going to warp into frame. Isn’t it.” One second later…

[@oldtimefarmboy617]

Since the show uses reality of moving through space to great effect, the thrusters should have cut out if they are planning to enter orbit of the planet. The only need for thrusters in space is for acceleration, deceleration, or change or correction of direction. Shows like Star Wars where they show the thrusters starting while their big ships are still on a planet's surface or in orbit or while holding station above a target is just wrong. Imagine what the effect of those mile long ship thrusters, remembering the force they would have to create to move those ships, would have on the people and buildings behind it while lifting off the surface.

[@Yaivenov]

​@@oldtimefarmboy617that's mentioned in one of the SW EU books when the SSD Lusankya lifts off Coruscant and lights the main engines before clearing the atmosphere. Immolated everything within dozens of kilometers and gouged the surface.

[@liamkleronomos5104]

Something about seeing that Halcyon refit drop out of slipspace, its own debris spat out of the rupture...That's halo, that FEELS halo.

[@DarkJediHunter117]

From the beginning, Halo has been a story about Humanity constantly on the backfoot, down on its luck and just a couple steps from extinction, but still ready to throw down regardless. In a way, it also perfectly described The Pillar of Autumn. So yeah, this is Halo - themes, aesthetics and all.

[@PancakesTheDragoncat]

I like the addition of damage on the Pillar of Autumn

[@Pacho18]

That what should be on a remake

[@andresarille2277]

Agreed, another layer of Reach battle damage depth. Especially seeing pieces of the ship"s charrred hull arrive in orbit before the Autumn, was nifty too.

[@TauromOG]

I agree that it should show some damage, but I don't think it should be in the form of bright red molten metal. Some time has passed since they escaped from Reach, as it took nearly three weeks to reach the star system where the Halo was located, enough time to cool down, in my opinion.

[@andresarille2277]

@ agreed. I was a bit confused myself. But I wasn’t sure of the science behind slipspace & Cortana’s ability to repair mid-flight. So I assumed all damages sustained from the previous attack, remained.

[@Brody2362]

wild how a 3 min video feels more like halo than a full budget 2 season show

[@TheBabyCaleb]

Super embarrassing for Paramount, one guy defeated their entire multimillion dollar show with a 3 minute clip…

[@eklypse21]

I thought it was dead... that excitement I used to feel for Halo. But seeing your work tells me there might be some hope that part of me can live again.

[@ironsidemedia]

You know, I had never considered the Autumn taking battle damage before their jump from Reach. That's a great piece of world building! The compositing and rendering is excellent as well!

[@beaniebanditanimation]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@alexandredominguez4125]

No, I'm not crying, I'm not. More seriously, your teaser sold me more dreams than the entire Halo series in two seasons, and yet season 2 was much better than the first. Frankly, I hope you'll be able to see this project through to the end and give us what Paramount and Showtime failed to offer us, namely a true Halo adaptation that respects the original work while taking liberties where necessary.

[@beaniebanditanimation]

That’s exactly my goal! I’m committed to seeing this project through to completion, no matter how long it takes. I’ll do my very best to bring both you and myself the Halo adaptation we truly deserve!

The pillar of autumn model remainds me of the blur marathon class model

[@Spartan_Tanner]

Actually, speaking of which the Digsite team does have access to the Blur Studios cinema models for HW2 and H2A but they can't release them, they have posted images of the models for future reference

[@Spartan_Tanner]

I said that because they posted a pic of the HW2 Banished Lich from the ATN Cinematic and the H2A POA which is built ontop of the HR POA

The base drop of the pillar of autumn coming out of slipspace just hits so good. That was theater quality

Looks so childish, Halo isn’t for kids

[@battleoid2411]

No its perfect for them. Theyre a soulless, creatively bankrupt studio that wouldnt know how to make a good entry into a series if it fell right into their lap. This isnt even an exaggeration, because that is exactly what happened, I wish the entire studio was shut down these people dont deserve to work with the name Halo.

[@sinisterisrandom8537]

​​@@battleoid2411Moron, alert. That was 343 when it was ran by Bonnie Ross, kikiwolf kill and frank o Connor. Who did nothing cause Bonnie Ross was trying to run the company in all 3 departments. Your logic is the definition of: Different name means same company, despite the fact rhat leadership is gone and without former leadership that for all you know were the main proprietor oh wait THEY WERE. A ton of current and former stated that they tried to suggest a ODST spin off game, or other games in general including marines, many, army etc. All were shut down and ignored as suggestions. Cause Bonnie wanted to make halo their own and realized at the end after 10 years of being dumb as a brick it was better to leave the sinking ship that remains afloat. Speak when this "halo studios" made a game.

[@battleoid2411]

@@sinisterisrandom8537 Changing their name doesn't change their history. They have yet to produce a single game that comes even close to anything made when Bungie had the reins. You say that its all because of one person, that may be, but lets look at what this totally new and different studio is doing as its first act: a remake. That's the best they could come up with, just taking CE and slapping it in unreal 5, it doesn't get much more creatively bankrupt and lazy than that. Its still the same garbage studio, only with a new logo, rant and rave all you want, its not going to change that fact.

[@TJ_ax]

This is so fucking good, chills up my whole body. Please keep making these

[@jetrexdesign]

The atmosphere is so nice, the nice use of harsher shadows to allow the lights of the ship and glowing battle damage to take priority, the flickering of the engines really gives it 'something'. I find people over-light things and it makes important details less impactful. You really get the sense that the Pillar of Autumn is 'on its last legs' here.

[@beaniebanditanimation]

I'm glad you liked it!

[@MrFreesearcher]

That entrance is just badass, and the debris really adds to it. Also really loving the music - perfect.

[@YodaIzChaos]

Absolutely gorgeous model for the Halcyon-Class. The battle damage is a really nice touch. It really looks like it just barely escaped.

[@cashx370]

Since the switch to Unreal Engine and 343 rebranding to Halo Studios, KZbin has been recommending these fan animations a bunch and I love it. I truly thought Halo was destined to primarily become a book medium, but fan projects like these make me happy to see people still care. Can’t wait to see more of your work!

[@Weretyu7777]

Okay, this was absolutely incredible. The opening monologue, the Autumn coming in smoking as its engines cut out, the sound design...you have made something amazing. I eagerly await the full first episode!

Love the battle scarring on the cruiser, as well as the debris that followed it in from slip space. Instantly I want to know how where this ship is, why it's there, and how it got so messed up. Great opening shot. So sad that small creators are the only ones that get halo. Hollywood fucks it up constantly, which is impressive, because its VERY hard to make a universe such as halo boring.

[@seanseacrist2417]

The ship and the HALO logo are almost 100% perfect ngl. If that's supposed to be the intro to HALO CE the planet is supposed to be a gas giant, but other than that this is so amazing.
