@@jacksonclune3166 yea I caught it right after I saw the robo leg, then the hand, like the servi hand even taps like a person would when there about to get into the shit!!
So everybody noticed the 500kg strat on one side on the helmet, but if you look close, on the other side of the helmet it appears to say "NOT TODAY" as well. The detail is absolutely absurd in this!
1:11 literally the reason I'll always carry Jar-5 Dominator with me. Feels like bolter, sounds like bolter, roughly leaves as huge holes into enemies as bolter... my fav primary
He’s good at UE5, sure, but there’s no establishing shot, no wides, and that makes it hard to understand what’s going on if you haven’t played the game. Don’t get me wrong, this is still a super cool animation and as someone trying to do exactly what he’s doing I understand how insanely hard this is to do. (which actually might be why there’s no wide shots lol) but look at the drop sequence in the game, you go from a push in from the map to the viewing window as the pods drop, then we cut to a wide establishing shot of the ship dropping the pods. Then to a wide tracking shot of the pods dropping with planets and ringed moons and gorgeous nebulae filling the background with ships whizzing past the midground. trails streaming out of the back of the pods. Then we start a slow pan down to see fluffy clouds sitting in the atmosphere shrouding the planet as we descend into them. all wide shots. Homie just needs one or two though lol
This is by far the best Helldivers 2 animation that I have ever borne witness to. I hope that this project becomes bigger and eventually turns into the next “Astartes: But Helldivers 2 edition.”
The more i watch it, the more i want a helldivers cinematic movie to come out. This is very high quality stuff for such a game that was so small and yet rose up so much that it was never expected to grow further. So glad this community is big now!
What the hell is this. The direction, style, lighting, animation, sound, and everything else is simply amazing AND THE ATTENTION TO THE DETAIL WITH THE 500 KG BOMB CODE!?!? This is the best thing since sliced bread and democracy
Ok so yes, the animation is amazing as people have mentioned, but can we spare a moment for the voice acting? That I know personally is hard as hell and you've absolutely nailed it here. Something I don't see mentioned nearly as much as it deserves
I saw this on reddit and thought, "this has to be the guy who did Astartes" but the fact that it's not is genuinely more impressive. What a level of quality to emulate and achieve. So high, IT DESERVES TO BE IN 4K BROTHERRR MY TV NEEDS YOUR NEXT CONTENT TO BE UPLOADED IN 4K PLEASE AND THANK YOU, sir.
@@C4IK Don't bother with warhammer. The people who own it are asshats and claim everything for themselves. The lore and game and board is great but the owners of warhammer are absolute garbage.
This is the shit I love most about both Troopers and Divers, is that, beneath the wholesale satire, fun times and laughs had, deep down, this shit is a terrifying delve into a whole different, bloodier kind of cyberpunk dystopia where you miss even the comforts of the meat grinder you're shoved into being your own city. Instead, it's traded for dying in the dark, waist deep in bots, bugs, and bodies of your squad. All the same, it's a hell we've made ourselves that we dive into.
This totally brings back memories of Astartes!!! Which was the most epic fan made video I’ve ever seen. This seems to have the same level of fidelity as that!! Hats off
I love the fact you brought in the "silence" of outer space, as in real life there's no sound, but you brought it as the "calm before the storm" as the pod enter the atmosphere of the infernal planet...Chills!!!! Love it and now I want decals for our helmets and guns!!!
Hell yeah, this came out excellent! I appreciate the attention to detail, particularly all the scratches, dents, and personal markings on the diver's armor.
This I quite literally THE best Helldivers animation I’ve ever seen! This is a level of animation and detail that rivals the Best of Warhammer Fan animations. Fantastic job!!!❤
I've watched at least 10 times and still get goosebumps. Everything from the visuals to the sound is perfection. Giving me that Halo ODST short film vibes and extremely polished production. Can't wait for more!
this is definitely a good opening for a movie, i could see it winding back time to when the helldiver was first recruited, up till now where he has miraculously survived all of his deployments. kinda like All Quite on the Western Front where the helldiver hollows out with time, watching all of his friends come and go, some surviving for more than one mission but eventually dying like the rest. at the end, when the protagonist eventually dies in a blaze of glory, his name isnt even remembered, his achievements forgotten immediately by super earth, finally showing his replacement dropping down from the sky, really showing that every helldiver is expendable and their individual names wont be remembered. i think it would be a good contrast to the goofy and satirical nature of the helldivers lore, showing the dark side of the helldivers program while super earth covers it all up
Funny you said this, I have in fact been thinking about prequels :) all quiet on the western front is a good reference. Anti war is something I’d love to explore. Thanks for those ideas!
Man, it's not often I get to be around to see the video that puts a channel on the map like this. Seriously, make more of these if it's your passion. I'd LOVE an Astartes-style series based on Helldivers. You've got my subscription.
I got chills at the end! I really loved the attention to detail, like the prosthetics and the arrows on the back of the helmet! It kinda reminds me of how US soldiers used to decorate their helmets in WWII or Vietnam with chalk or things like playing cards!
FOR THE EMPER... I mean FOR SUPER EARTH! (Amazing video, I want more) But for real, the crossover with Warhammer 40k is very much there, especially by taking this dark (and grim) approach of the game. I love it.
This...this inspires me to survive all my drops as a lone helldiver. Like you can feel the atmosphere, as you land...you have a duty to preserve democracy one bug and automiton at a time. Chills helldivers...this sent chills down my spine.
Just phenomenal work! I love everything about this! From the 50k mark on the helmet to the augmented hand, and when he fires the gun holy cow I felt that!!
I'd say it's the same as when you finish a mission within the operation and extract, starting the next mission in the operation. Even in game your character model stays bloody, cape destroyed. You play as the same diver until death.
Wow, I was imagining what a cinematic would look like JUST LIKE THIS! The pods being launched in space followed by complete silence of the vacuum, followed by the flames catching up and bursting out as the atmosphere gets denser. Great work!
I really hope this gets noticed by the devs and they add this helmet/armor set to the game. Or they should just give only you the armor. Even more fittin
This looks, feels and is insane. Incredible work KC!! Love the Warhammer esc vibe to it and that camera movement at the end following his hand while chambering was just incredible 😩 The fact you're so active with your community really speaks volumes too!
We all know this guy. The Silent protagonist who learned long ago word would only get in the way. You all deserve respect for diving once but this lad... this is one who brought us home.
Hey all. There will be more (maybe) :)
Edit: There won’t be a patreon. If you want to support, support the game instead.
For liberty
For Democracy! For real though this is amazing, great work!
Excellent, can't wait to see more of your work!
Amazing keep up the great work.

0:42 the 500KG call sign and impatient servo-limb are IT!!!
we need a helmet like this in game. even if you can barely see it lol
@@Simbobwayson Or a decal system :D

Nicely spotted!
I saw that too, but was trying to decipher what the other word was. Thanks!
How...? *looks back on the video* How did you catch that!?
No it doesnt
I can't see it. Where is it?
-How many times have you watched it?
-Yes.
Awesome work dude! Reminds me of Astartes
Was just about to say! Amazing work KC!
Literally my exact thought!!!!
Yep exactly, thought it was 40k for a sec
This video is far better than that sell outs video. An this guy didn’t have to sell his soul to make it.
I was thinking that too lol
1:11 literally the reason I'll always carry Jar-5 Dominator with me. Feels like bolter, sounds like bolter, roughly leaves as huge holes into enemies as bolter... my fav primary
I always carry Dominator + pistol flamethrower + heavy medic armour. Just like my borders of the 18th legion, the salamanders
I often find myself using it more than the strategems weapons
I can't believe Helldivers community is getting their own Astartes. I hope Arrowhead hires you!
In case of Arrowhead I would approve as well! Even better: Have Arrowhead promote your Patreon and give you the support you need!
This was my thinking, got me as excited as when I watched Astartes
Was about to say the same thing. This gives me Astartes vibes in all the best ways.
LITERALLY WHAT I WAS THINKING
Get this artist a job already!! :D
0:40 the reflection in the eyes is when you choose where to land. It's just amazing
You’re one of the first ones to spot it!
This is ridiculously high quality.
Fr
Racking the Dominator went hard
Just saw it on reddit, I'm extremely impressed by this. Servo Assisted 500kg Bomb and Jar-5 Dominator for the win.
I love how there’s oil, bug blood and human blood when it says spill it all, such a cool detail…
ARROWHEAD HIRE THIS MAN RN!! Seriously this man has talent and it shows
Seriously. This game needs cinematic masterpieces of this caliber
please yes, some one spam the devs about this
@@limer.6355 I would love to see this as I dive in to missions randomly. Like a rare cutscene chance

Give this man some super credits immediately. Well done soldier.
Soldier! I don't think so he has gone above and beyond (servo assisted limbs) , he is a hell diving TROOPER son!
Feet 1st into hell always!

The helldivers skull animation in the first few seconds was so good. Something about it just goes "They've seen some shit."
Ok so yes, the animation is amazing as people have mentioned, but can we spare a moment for the voice acting? That I know personally is hard as hell and you've absolutely nailed it here. Something I don't see mentioned nearly as much as it deserves
For me it's the sound design. That metallic dead THUNK as the pod lands is *chefs kiss*
He hired a pro voice actor.
It's Mike Ciporkin as per the credits at 1:15
bro this is actual CINEMA!
HEAVY Astartes influence and that is very welcome.
Fantastic work.

The Vietnam style helmet graffiti is a perfect touch, not to mention how you actually included them using the handles. Fantastic work.
gives off pure astartes vibes, peak cinema.
This is the most badass thing I’ve seen in awhile
I LOVE THIS FANBASE!!
I love this and the odd cutty animation styles that’s been turning out.
Helldivers is a stay title
The best thing since Helldivers 2 holy crap
The effect you achieved with the helldivers logo on the outside of the pod being swallowed by shadow and then lit up with flame. Phenomenal impact.
I got chills at the end!
I really loved the attention to detail, like the prosthetics and the arrows on the back of the helmet! It kinda reminds me of how US soldiers used to decorate their helmets in WWII or Vietnam with chalk or things like playing cards!

Up there with “Astartes” magnificent!!
Holy shit well done on the audio and voice over. Not cringey at all, well timed and choreographed shots
SWEET LIBERTY THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL !
Mans dropped the hardest shortest Helldiver film ever and didn't expect us to notice
I saw your post on Reddit, man you did a fantastic job !!
Please do more !
This is the Astartes of Helldivers fan works. Fuckin awesome
This is the best recruitment ad I’ve seen
Spill Oil, Diver.
You're making us Creek Crawlers proud.
This...this inspires me to survive all my drops as a lone helldiver. Like you can feel the atmosphere, as you land...you have a duty to preserve democracy one bug and automiton at a time. Chills helldivers...this sent chills down my spine.
This one minute of watching a helldiver mentality preparing for a battle has more intrigue than entire movie characters these days.
This is warhammer fandom levels of quality. Fantastic work!
Just phenomenal work! I love everything about this! From the 50k mark on the helmet to the augmented hand, and when he fires the gun holy cow I felt that!!
I randomly got this short masterpiece recommended, finally TH-cam gave me a gem
Beautifully done!
0:59 yooooooooo, that’s badass
This goes INCREDIBLY hard! Would love to see a long short film in the future!
If I have the time and energy :)
“It’s only a one minute animation how hard can it go?”
The one minute animation in question:
Do not let anyone attempt to buy your artistic talent. Remain independent for as long as you can. Keep up the amazing work!
Well, I'm thinking, except if ArrowHead itself pays him ? Knowing how they like this kind of things too, that should be interesting
Simply outstanding!
bro what is this...
i nearly fell on my back
this drama, this performance, these colors, sounds...amazing
This is a masterpiece like Astartes except Devoloper actually care about their fan base
This is amazing!
saaaaaaaaaaarggeeeeeeee
This has the potential to become the Astartes series for Helldivers. This is amazing, super sick quality!
This is absolutely incredible. And this Helldiver is clearly (somehow) a veteran and not a fresh recruit. I love it!
I'd say it's the same as when you finish a mission within the operation and extract, starting the next mission in the operation. Even in game your character model stays bloody, cape destroyed. You play as the same diver until death.
@@d3ad_w31ght8 Yeah I understand that. I’m mostly just expressing amazement that they have clearly completed multiple missions without dying.
This is giving off Warhammer vibes and I'm all for it!
Great job brother
Holy shit, this is beyond epic.
What shivers I got from this video…. This is top-notch!
The 500kg on helmet was so damn good)))
Amazing work!
Omfg. Bro. The best content to ever grace us since ASTARTES. !!!!!!!!

yoooo i watched this in my THX home-cinema.... duuuuude, i got chills!!!
Awesome!
Masterful display of cinematography and attention to detail, kudos KC!
Thank you :)
Ayo this is bloody sick. I love the detail of the stratgem combo on the back of the helmet
Best piece of helldivers media I've seen yet
Wooo ! That's so good ! I thinks every childs of democracy want this to become a movie !
Watched this like 5 times in 2 days atm and every time i watch it again, it's like seeing this for the first time. Amazing work my dude
Great job!
i can already imagine this being the next big web series. this was an amazing film render and good luck.
Getting heavy Astartes vibes, Its Beautiful!
Cant wait for more! Also wanted to point out the spilled oil, blood, and bug blood on the ending title was a nice detail.
This goes so damn hard
I really hope this gets noticed by the devs and they add this helmet/armor set to the game.
Or they should just give only you the armor. Even more fittin
This is the best cgi I have ever seen
They gotta add that helmet to the game holy shit.
This is really freakin good bro!🫡
Astartes but for HELLDIVERS LETS GOOOOO!
This looks, feels
and is insane. Incredible work KC!! Love the Warhammer esc vibe to it
and that camera movement at the end following his hand while chambering was just incredible 😩

Fuck you for making a 40k type helldivers short. now i crave a Space Marine version of Helldivers 2
Man, I loved the way the logo evolved, which might indicate the difficulty of the mission.
That's a cool helmet.
Dude this is incredible, I'm surprised your not asking for support for this godamn beautiful work, crazy and I hope to see more!
Jar-5 Dominator, hmm he may live
Amazinggg straight up beautiful 😢
SPILL OIL
SPILL 710
*SPILL IT ALL*
Isn’t E-710 oil? Cause if it is then the phrase spill oil works for both.
you can see and feel how much of that is greatly inspired by some 40k animations and cinematics very good
Screw Halo, this is the series we need!
