A very good animation, but the story was everywhere

[@hollowsteel]

What story?

[@Stop_Motion_Hub]

I really love how you used combine voice chatter. Nice to see I'm not the only one with this idea

[@RoadWarrior_John]

Amazing work, loved how you got up close with the combat and the fight progressed from inside the facility to the outside instead just staying in one location.

[@craquianimations7470]

As always, another beautiful animation. Good job

[@RedTHedge]

Amazing animation! You have the lighting and animation done perfectly! My one complaint was that the story/plot was really hard to understand, as it seemed to be a marine Civil War, then some Spartans are there, and things got kinda weird. But still, amazing animation!

[@hollowsteel]

Thanks! I do feel like the story was really vague, so here’s some details that I should’ve mentioned somewhere in the video: A UNSC special operations unit is sent to an insurrectionist base. The insurrectionists fight back after retreating into the surrounding woods, where they are aided by a rogue spartan. They dodge patrols of UNSC/ONI marines and Spartans. However, the insurrectionists also have to watch out for ONI’s new project: bipedal robots meant to aid in special operations missions. Thanks for asking about the story! I hope this cleared up some confusion.

[@Interstellar_Admiral]

I’m at a loss for words an amazing stop motion as per usual

[@Cursed_ID]

Underrated, dude your work is amazing I’m astonished by your talent. 👏

[@thikimtuyennguyen1264]

That recon looks awesome

[@Cam4kstudios]

Hollow you've blown me away. Great animation, very smooth and readable. Your style is shaping up. Only thing is maybe add in some voice lines there's a awkward idling with people kind of just sitting there nodding or lifting and lowering there guns... somthing audio wise is missing but it's not atmosphere I just can't place it, hope to see how you improve in the future ✌️

[@hollowsteel]

Yeah its def hard working with the limitation of Halo 3 marine voicelines, but I don't think I'll have that problem with future anims, especially if they're gonna be shorter. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@ventris425productions5]

@@hollowsteel maybe add like I don’t know to explain but something like the engaged soundtrack where there’s that pitch that gets louder and louder to raise tension before something happens, also maybe change some of the music to fit the scenes a bit better, but other then that amazing work

[@ventris425productions5]

Love it, only thing you could improve on is making the voices sound a little less distorted and a little more human Edit: nearly finished it and the distorted voices work for the “bad guys” now thinking about it

[@DatPluggernaut]

This is literally the best movie/video I’ve ever seen on KZbin I’m not even lying. Hollow, you’re my favorite KZbinr I’m not kidding. I gotta know, what editing app do you use, I literally wanna be like you, what app you be using?

[@chonkychief1400]

Wow this was amazing as always! I really love you style of close up animation, and it works for this style of video so well! The lighting and audio was great, and the backgrounds looked really good! Great video and keep up the awesome work!

[@Zanytanks_Studios]

Wow man this was amazing!!

[@shortstuffxd9923]

This is. TaStY yummmmmmmmmm

[@proboanimations3767]

Looks great but seem like I don’t have to finish the video all the way through but I might watch it tomorrow bro 😅

[@SonicBoomer80]

very smooth

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

This was such a banger 😫 You always make such unique animations! I am unsure what to think of me being called a wanted terrorist (publicly), but I sure will have fun doxxing you 😈

[@hollowsteel]

Do it, I dare you

[@Ementhe]

Lets goooo

[@Syiscool]

How is this a short film it’s more like a MOVIE because of how good 9:29 it is and how long it is

[@avignastudios]

Yes! Like the mission in half life! Very good!

[@hollowsteel]

I was so tempted to try and remake the Black Mesa lobby shootout, but I feel that could’ve been too on the nose-

[@avignastudios]

@@hollowsteel You can do it, headcrabs wait flood spores, zombies with flood combat forms, vortigaunt with elites without suit o customs, You can do it!

Nice figures tho

[@DatPluggernaut]

What editing app did you use, or should I say device. I’m sorry I keep asking I’m just desperate to be like you

[@hollowsteel]

Nothin' wrong with asking questions. Some of the greatest people have asked a never-ending stream of questions, and have become great thinkers because of it. I use Imovie on my computer for editing, but if you can get your hands on a better app, use it.

[@DatPluggernaut]

Thanks… but seriously what app do you use? 😃

[@DatPluggernaut]

Wait I forgot to click read more my bad

[@DatPluggernaut]

I’m stupid

[@DatPluggernaut]

@@hollowsteel If you are we IMovie, do you use audio on that too?

[@Thatonegreyofficer]

Where do you get the walking sound effects from

[@hollowsteel]

I downloaded them off of a sounds resource website a while ago, I’m pretty sure you can just search up “game sounds resource” and you’ll find it

[@Thatonegreyofficer]

@@hollowsteel thank you

[@ChakLok]

I can tell which side there on

[@hollowsteel]

And that is?

[@ChakLok]

@@hollowsteel the blue ones I think are the insurrection and they invade the unsc

[@hollowsteel]

Its actually the opposite: The blue ones are UNSC special Ops, and the green ones are UNSC marines. The ones with the brown infinite/reach styled armor are the insurrectionists.

[@allisonxayphannha6140]

What is that on ur profile picture

what is happening?

A UNSC raid on an Insurrectionist base

[@greywulf2015]

@@hollowsteel Thank you

[@deepwrinklesanimations959]

Oh wow now I feel like I copied you

[@hollowsteel]

How so?

[@deepwrinklesanimations959]

@@hollowsteel I also used a red light section with combine soldiers in one of my stop motions

[@hollowsteel]

ohhhhhh, I see- tbh I just thought it was coincidence lol

[@Drippy_Chicken_God]

What was the story

[@hollowsteel]

Essentially, an insurrectionist base is raided by the UNSC.

[@Drippy_Chicken_God]

So the infinite marines are the insurrectionists

[@jettfastballs]

Just discovered you, and you seem to be carrying the spirit if these animations alive. Well done!
