Harvest

The Year is 2527.
The Alien alliance known as the Covenant and Humanity are currently at war.

We are losing.
In an attempt to get an upper hand on the Covenant we have tried taking back one of the first worlds glassed, this world is known as Harvest.
Davis and his team are sent down to the planet Harvest with orders to assassinate a Covenant Commander that’s in control of shipping supplies to all the fronts on Harvest. What will happen to Davis and his team?

After watching this again, I feel bad for maverick. He looked actually pretty cool and interesting and probably was a good solider. Just shows no one is safe in war as his death was so quick

[@Ementhe]

Yeah he just got introduced and then he immediately got killed

[@TheBrickBrains]

Yea no one has plot armor in war…

[@fallable]

I’m not even half way through and this is just unbelievable! Badlaxe, you are seriously talented. I love the dialogue in this, it’s seriously improved and seems a lot more realistic. Fantastic work man! This is definitely an amazing thing to wake up to.

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

Thanks so much! I’m a little “eh” at making scripts but I think this stop motion came out better than some of my previous ones.

[@fallable]

Badlaxe Animations Your story telling and script writing has improved so much dude! I love your scripts.

I'm loving this sorry that I didn't say a naughty word

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

It’s all good :) The only reason I even thought of including swearing was because I wanted to nail the fact that this stop motion was darker than my previous ones.

You work is so underrated! After you've done the series, you should piece them together to make a movie! Seriously though, this kind of animation, storyline, & dialogue should get you at least 100,000 subs or even more. Nicely done!

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

I’m thinking about adding all of the stop motions together :) and thanks so much for this comment, I really try to improve my animation and story with each upload so I’m glad you’re enjoying my content.

[@danieldavidsonproductions4053]

Very entertaining, yet riveting as well. Although a fictitious storyline, the raw emotion is undeniable. Excellent job, Badlaxe! I honestly think the incorporation of swear words added to this production.

[@DavisGrumble]

You are a great animator!

[@ragingoaktree]

This was amazing. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a stop motion that actually made you feel sad when a character dies. Great work!

[@ClicStudio]

That was amazing! Always a pleasure working with you! Too bad hold on didn’t get into the final product:P

[@DafterThings]

Excellent all the way through especially the storytelling and the camera work. Each shot seems so well composed and selected especially knowing the effort to keep changing the camera position. Great job and really enjoyed it.

[@Rip_R4]

Another thing I will say before I disappear thank you for asking me to voice act as character last year it's been fun voicing for him it's been fun voice acting for you in general I really enjoy and I hope to do it more in the future thank you.

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

No problem! I definitely want you to voice act in the future :)

[@BlackStarInitiative]

Your animation is better than mine. I love this.

[@RapidActionAnimations]

I think this is one of my favourite of all your animations. All the practical, visual effects were flawless and perfectly executed! You did an amazing job on the script and voice actors. This is my millionth time watching this... your animations are inspiring!! Wanted to ask who voiced the elites? Also how did you do the phantom green screen? Amazing work

[@TheCitedAviator]

0/10 not enough 200 subscriber special

[@Cam4kstudios]

Wonderful Story Telling and I love that you did something I was hoping another would do before HR came out make the enemies have an accurate amount of health and not die from a leg shot by an ar etc. (like what is common with other animators) lol, something you might want to consider is getting a clearer camera? and maybe I could show you how to do a realistic sky without cgi also your gonna have to let me voice act in one of these soon XD outstanding work mate!

[@leiferikson7681]

Nice self promo bro

[@Trailbreaker206]

Also, I just realized that it's only 16 minutes long, it felt like a feature length film.

[@rushingriverfilms]

This was great! Love the camera angles and shots in this, very cinematic and creative! Very well done Badlaxe :)

[@Ementhe]

I mean technically reynolds was right when he said he wasn’t gonna ever go in a drop pod again… because he’s dead

[@tenoate.6871]

[@rlgfilms4290]

This is a really good work badlaxe! Congratulations!

[@MtionLHalo]

This is really good animation, but ever consider switching to Webcams or DLSR animation?

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

I’ve definitely thought about it but unfortunately I don’t have the money for a computer that can run it. The laptop I have now can barely run Audacity.

[@comicclub3320]

ODST for the win! Finally a good HALO stop motion.

[@holden_7597]

Maybe it’s just me, but Maverick’s death made me laugh. The way he just floats up is just hilarious. I’m such a bad person.

[@leolied6766]

Impressive job as always man. Keep up the good work. Really liked the lighting you did before the Odst went into the drop pod.

[@RoadWarrior_John]

Great animation, the storytelling was exceptional as well as the use of camera angles can't wait for the next one.

[@clanimations1387]

[@smartgoat2753]

You know really that sniper was a sniper jackal from halo 2

[@mudamuda6093]

why does the blue.one sound so depressed

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

That’s just the Voice Actor’s regular voice. The guy that voice acted him though can do many voices though. In one of my previous stop motions titled Marines: Ambush he voices Cinder witch has a very different voice.

[@JJTheSpartan_117]

Someone else calls him the Blue.One too? Finally! I'm referencing a comment I made about maybe 2 months ago

At 5:04 the grunt looks yellow like he's the grunt from the rhino set which is a bit odd

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

Yeah, for some reason when I upload the edited video to my camera roll it saturates it more than the original clip, I’ve tried fixing it but to no avail.

[@roartoar9947]

So that's what happened on Harvest.

[@Stinger11Studios]

I keep coming back to this glorious work of art.

[@RapidActionAnimations]

Love the effects and the smooth animations!! Also were did you get your sound fix?

[@willstar1238]

This was so amazing. Such a RIP for Reynolds tho. Also, I think I now know the order of these stories. So its first the 3 marine videos, Havest, and then Planet Qutari series. I know Harvest and Marines is before planet qutari because the red elites brother isn't dead yet, and Marinesis before Harvest because Rook wasn't an ODST yet.

[@ghostx141xgaming5]

Was ROOK a SGT?.. in Qutari?..

This video i think is a stopmotion masterpiece. I also love the music by Clic Studio in this.

[@odststopmotion3187]

Well hey just keep making good videos man good job and my favorite type of unsc is ODST and marines

[@PackHunter117]

This is really good!!!!! My only gripe is that the wrong Phantom and Ghost model were used. The Sangheili produced those versions after the fall of the Covenant in Halo 3.

[@WillsBrix]

Amazing job Badlaxe! One of your best works and probably one of the best animations I've seen in a while, the plot was moving and immersive and the animation was spectacular. I love the use of special effects, not too much but enough to show the heat of the battle. Voice acting from everyone involved was great too, overall an amazing work of art well done!

[@thesoviets951]

its.. its one of the best repersentions of how odst was not just to make way for more armored spartins its was the war that started master chiefs story the way the stop motion is done great for sure there are some better stopmotions out there but its still good or course it still takes place in a city and a little of a forest id like to see a bit more open desert feel alot of the great story arks are the main cast them self | im mixed on the voices | all out of all id give a 9 out of 10 keep up the good work

... not bad writing could use a little rework but over all not bad. Only thing worng is the plan briefing becasue he should say " we have three objectives frist is neutralizing two anti aircraft batteries here and here, second objective is a high value target landing that this outpost, we are to hold position and gather any intel we can on the force's in the area, well only get one shot at the commander. After the target is dead we are to fall back to check point (insert check name) for evac, are their any question?" And yes I'm a writer working on a script for a live action halo film so I know my way around a script if you want I could proof read it and edit some of it so the lines sound more fuild.
