THE GREAT JOURNEY | Halo Animation (Unreal Engine 5/UE5)

Peace be with you, a-hyuh.
---
There was a scene in the Halo Paramount show where John found himself in a church. I started to wonder, and came upon an interesting premise - how would an Elite/Sangheili handle the confirmation of "The Great Journey" being a lie?
This short satire piece is the culmination of my beginner-status learning journey so far, from original level design to Rokoko motion capture, animation blending/retargeting (I hate that word so much now), lighting via Lumen, and some more nitty-gritty cinematic features with Sequencer.
Enjoy, and please don't be offended, my fellow believers - the Lord has a sense of humor :)

[@lindaseamster7177]

Do we really have to get religion involved in alien video games? That’s just weird. And also there is no god in the halo universe

[@jonathansud]

This is a skit, and religion is literally the reason for half of these game’s plots.

@@jonathansud but not human religion. I was dying of cringe throughout the whole thing 😖😖

[@jonathansud]

@@lindaseamster7177 I mean if it’s wack, that’s straight, leave it at that, it’s all good. But to see a comment against religion in a game sprinkled with tons of Biblical references/themes is weird

@@jonathansud there is nothing weird about my comment. In fact, your the weird one for making a christian video about halo
