Haloid (2019) - Master Chief Vs. Samus Aran

The Master Chief? Vs. Samus Aran
FOR AUSTRALIAN/NEW ZEALAND VIEWERS YOU CAN WATCH IT HERE:
drive.google.com/file/d/1Cw6B...
This video is a tribute to Monty Oum who inspired me and others who didn't even know this was one of his first major works on the internet before his time at Rooster Teeth.
I wanted to try and make something that at least somewhat stands up to the original. There's a decent amount of changes compared to the original. Don't worry there's ton of visual mistakes I've already clocked but because of time restraints I could not go in and fix them.
Anyway this video took an extremely long time for a number reasons mostly burnout. The first uploads of any instance of this video date back to June 2017!
I tried my best and hope you guys have as much fun watching this as I did making it.
I'm going to get back into uploading MUCH smaller but more frequent videos but I do need a little time to decompress this was a ludicrous amount of animation work and even with some poor motion capture this took way too long.
Please feel free to ask questions about this video I'm real enthusiastic about finally finishing this and being able to move on

I cannot say anything bad about your take, because any tribute to a person that inspired many of us back in the day, is a truly amazing and special thing.

Thank you for honoring this man. Monty's animation work in RVB inspired me to get into 3D animation myself back in high school. It looked good enough to watch, despite it's flaws, and they didn't seem afraid to share their work at all. Gave me something achievable to work towards. It's been about 12 years since I found RVB and only 8 since I learned that the original animation was HIS work. It's been even longer since I first saw this animation. He's been a major influence in my life, and I'd like to give back, continue to carry the torch so to speak. I've see other do so in spurts, such as Hyper, so I might as well do my part too. My heart goes out to the rooster teeth team. Thank you all for everything.

Edit (feedback): Overall the quality and production is top notch, it looks seriously well done. Particles, VFX, pretty much everything visual looks amazingly done. The big gripe is with animation in parts throughout the video, some of it looked "stiff" or "inanimate". Some area's looked to be a bit rushed on the animation side of things too. I'm not trying to discredit the animator/animators, but there could be improvements in places that look stiff. (mainly towards the end and the middle). Overall, nicely done man! 8/10

Dude, same. This is missing the dance party. I was slightly disappointed in that myself. lol.

[@b.boldnasan9592]

​@@Scorpious187 Oh yeah, i kinda remember it too. Was there any aliens in the party and dancing, because all i remember about it is one elite doing a flip.

[@b.boldnasan9592]

Never mind i found the original video.

[@dustinsollars2355]

I also miss "One girl in all the world" at the end. It brought the video together really well in the original.

[@lilchris9cmb]

This is a fantastic animation. Completely worth the wait. Thank you for going through the effort of remaking this classic.

[@kyleloughran6031]

This brings warmth to my heart, seeing this remastered after so long. Thank you

[@ciontachthecthonicchampion3576]

*sigh* It’s Alayna a solemn moment when I remember Monty. Got really emotional at the beginning and throughout. Really awesome, and thanks you

[@SomeGuy234]

Good god, thank you for at least remaking the ending a bit. Everything was good but I still don't know what the fuck was that ending, almost 15 years later.

[@Frostwolf223]

Monty liked girls that like girls. He made another animation (I think before Haloid) that made a joke about it, as I recall.

[@SalmonCaramel]

Spartan "N-458" (the number on her armour) is part of non-canonical Halo, her name is Nicole and her Spartan number is 458. Samus is the badass space mercenary from the Metroid series. We all know her. So since both are girls, and like the other person said that Monty liked girls that like girls, the animation had some lesbian suggestion.

[@Domi39]

@@SalmonCaramel Nicole is canon in the Halo universe. She's not canon in the Dead or Alive universe (which is what introduced her). At least according to everything I've read.

[@SalmonCaramel]

@@Domi39 Ah, I see. I haven't read much about her, my bad for the mistake. Thanks for noticing that.

[@blakelively3242]

The special thanks to Monty Oum in the credits really got me there. Wonderful work!

[@Aegis_Mind]

My lord. Congrats to setting out to do this- and actually finishing it. I graduated with a bachelors in Media Arts and Animation a little over a year ago, and I understand how much goes into this. Just the idea of recreating Haloid scares me to death when I look at how much time and effort it would take. Mad props to you sir.

[@Sevzen-do2hr]

Yoooooo wtf you bringing it back I always come back to watch this yoooo mad props bringing up my childhood

[@rasdheedhorne8801]

Oh my God I remember this back in elementary school this is amazing

[@MeantSplash77]

Damnit Monty, even in death, your legacy lives on Nice Job Man, he'd be proud

[@texaslondoner7]

Ah yes the spartan super sayan and samus the Jedi supergirl. In all seriousness though, that was awesome. Loved it and I think Monty would be proud to have this tribute.

[@RagingDemon16]

wow i just discovered this, this is amazing you guys did a phenomenal Job

[@Mikanoes]

I think this would have earned you Monty's respect if he ever got to see it.

[@odddoggo6890]

I was just searching about RWBY and Monty Oum, then Haloid(2008) and here I am! What a chain!

[@ShoTheEmcee]

Monty would love this! Excellent work fam.

[@alexcramer2878]

Thank you so much for remaking this. RIP Monty Oum

[@retrobat1631]

Hey wait a minute! That's Nicole 458!!!

[@cobusleroux2169]

i wish they would make more content on the other spartans. i know he isn't canon but i'd like more stuff on spartan 1337

[@ryebread1736]

@@cobusleroux2169 just searched it up Nicole 458 is in fact a female spartan

[@cobusleroux2169]

@@ryebread1736 she is, shes from the dead or alive 4 game if memory serves. She is also canon in halo but not dead or alive weirdly enough

[@jonathanpomps9400]

The nostalgia is real in this one chief. Amazing job remaking such an Iconic old-school video dude! Never Forget!!!

[@drpottymouth]

Seeing two of my Top-5 Favorite Franchises clash like this is amazing. Well, technically, three, if you count the Lightsaber blade on the Stun Pistol. To see it Remastered from the one I saw years ago is something else. Thank you for this.

[@Shadowknightguy442]

Monty I’m sure you would be devastated knowing what’s happening to RWBY but I’m sure you would be happy knowing how many people have enjoyed your creation.

[@elijahnajera5425]

Amazing job. You really captured the spirit of the original.

An amazing tribute of a tribute! As a watcher of the original back when it was newish, you did a very good job getting the same feel.

The N-458 was a really good addition. Dead or alive reference Speaking of, how bout Dead Fantasy remake? 😭

Please do: 1) Dead Fantasy 2) Rwby Fan animation 3) More awesome Choreography!

[@GTSgamer101]

Agreed. Even though it will be alot of hard work, we as fans will support you.

[@ethanweigold7025]

Or maybe not? A single tribute is fine, but asking them to essentially recreate an entire portfolio of work is incredibly disrespectful to the original artist. It would be like asking someone to recreate all of Da Vinci’s work. It doesn’t matter if it’s older or there won’t be more, you can’t just go and redo all of it. Just stick with number 3. The animation work here was good, and can be used to make NEW IPs, rather than recreating more of a mans work.
