    As someone who tries to improve his editing with every single video, I make no exceptions with this one. Now yes there are parts that may be over-edited, and it definitely has its flaws at times, but overall I have never been so proud of a video. I honestly spent a few years editing this, YEARS. My first M9 project file dates back to July 28th, 2016, and I just love how you can see the progression of my editing from song 1 to the very end. It's by far the most fun video I've ever had the pleasure of working on.
    Now mike, I just wanted to say two things to you: I'm sorry and thank you. I'm sorry that at times I was a little pushy to get this video done, but thank you for sticking with me and letting me make this video for you. You've been a great friend to me since we started making montages together, and it has evolved into meeting up irl, which has created some of the most fun memories I've had in a long time halo wise. So thank you for putting your trust in me to make this video, and congratulations on the release of one hell of a video.
    You are for the last time, officially, dropped :)

      This is easily your strongest edit visually, sure some of the flashes coulda been toned down towards the end and some of your masking coulda been feathered more but you’re definitely more driven, motivated, and inspired than I’ve ever been and the consistency you’ve had throughout the video reflects that well. I especially loved the Hero Academia effect towards the end, like I was flipping my shit when I saw that because that’s such a dope reference to make here. Overall I seriously loved what you did with the video.

      This is the best halo montage editing i've seen. I've pretty much seen them all. Been a halo fan since CE and have seen hundreds of Halo CE tages, from the ogre brothers to B SiK and Phurion's years, Halo 2 tages, dualtages, mlg montages, retired pros, semipros, social tages too. there are so many incredible editors out there. Your style easily became my favorite 5 minutes in. And I'm still only 5 minutes and can't wait to watch the rest. The sequence that begins on High Ground at 3:50 to 5:00 minutes. So much attention to detail. in the use of transitions and adding perspectives for a cinematic vibe.
      Out of curiosity, are you playing MCC? I would like to meet you online if that's cool. My gamertag is: e major. Amazing work DoubleAA. And congrats Michael. there are some dope social clips in here; you're one hell of a lucky guy to know DoubleAA and have your 'tage edited by him.

    Well Mike what can I say? I came back to my hotel room last night, drunk, to this masterpiece. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a montage where every single clip was ridiculously good. This has to be the most refreshing halo video I’ve watched in years. The gameplay somehow made halo feel new and exciting again for the first time in who knows how long. My favorite clip has to be the whip jaro on the lifter, that’s just absurd. And the ricochets and 360s galore, that’s truly something special. Personally this is the best H3 gameplay I’ve seen to date, better than Apex imo and that’s because of how much fun this montage is to watch. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen before. Truly a hard act for anyone to follow.
    Aaron, oh Lordy was this an ambitious edit. There was some suspect camera work in here at some points, but that’s where my qualms end. You are the king of effects in the halo community. So many unique and interesting transitions in here, I could never predict what you’ve done here. My fav transition has to be the laser reticle on snowbound, that was silky smooth. And the way you handled ‘You Say Run’ was amazing. You gave that song the edit it deserved. You keep one upping yourself Aaron and it’s great to see.
    I’ve only know you 2 for the past 2 years and even though it’s not exactly a conventional relationship I like to think of us as friends. This montage is kind of an ending. So even when the days of streaming and gaming are behind us I hope you guys can read this comment and smile thinking of the Irish Zodi wannabe. Thanks for the memories fellas.
    This is gonna go down as one of the greats guys. It’s an ode to anyone who truly loves halo. And if this is genuinely your final montage Mike, well it sure is one hell of a way to go.

    Is this THE last H3 montage with 360 gameplay? I don't know who else has unseen H3 gameplay out there. If that's the case we're sending off Halo 3 360 right...this video was truly inspirational. I didn't expect to see MT clips in there, surely from 2014 at least, so fun to revisit those days. So many clips are downright insane and I'm happy to have been a part of a few of them on stream, especially the closer.
    I love how Aaron essentially had free reign to exercise any kind of editing he wanted; not many people can envision some of the effects and transitions he displayed here, let alone actually edit them in. There were so many unique, well executed effects here that I'm absolutely going to have to back at rewatch at full and half speeds.
    Terrific job gentlemen.

    It's been an absolute gift to have you in the community Ishii. From your incredible social clips in my favorite game of all time, to everything you've given back to it through clipping tournaments, editing other people's halo videos, and the list goes on. Aaron provided so many beautiful moments throughout the tage, but the sequence that showed some of the major videos you've been part of reminded me just how instrumental you've been through all of the years I've been watching montages. It truly wouldn't be the same without you.
    Having said that, it goes without saying that the gameplay was unbelievable. Because you're so damn good to begin with, I kind of expected to see the god-tier high multi clips come out of the woodworks. But some of the shots you hit, i mean my gawwwddddd... from the 360s, to the banks, to everything in between, you do them with such ease and smoothness. I don't think anyone has ever mastered those shots quite like you have. A lot of great montagers can hit them in a clip or two, but for you they are so calculated and routine, the skill involved in it to me is just scary.
    As far as how amazing Aaron's edit was... I mean there are so many great moments, I don't even know where to start. So many parts were so beautifully done upon first watch, that I would drag on forever if I tried to go through them. Without a doubt this has to be one of the best edited montages I've ever seen, and I'm pretty biased toward the so-called "OG's" like Zola, Puba, etc. I wouldn't have the slightest idea of how to pull off some of the effects in here, let alone how to do them with such style. Having seen enough videos now, I feel like Aaron is one of the greatest editors this community has ever had.
    It was an absolute pleasure to watch this Michael, and I cannot thank you enough!

    Will go down as one of the most legendary montages of all time. Not only that but Ishii will always be remembered as one of the all time greats. Seeing all of your past projects in the intro really hit home how much you have given to this community. I expected insanity, but this gameplay was just absurd. Absolutely love all the style Ishii packs into his clips, from the sticks, to the 360s and ricochets, there are no dull moments watching an Ishii video.
    This montage was packed full of emotion, I have to say DoubleAA has become one of the Best editors in the community. He too will be remembered as an editing god. I remember when he first started his channel playing Reach and uploading highlights and mini edits. It’s absolutely insane how far he’s come. To you Aaron, all I have to say is that this was a masterpiece and thank you for the work you out into it. It wouldn’t be possible without you. This is a gift to the community!

    Absolutely beautiful! Watched about 5 times now. Really a special piece. It's ridiculously hard to make a social H3 tage in this day and age stand out over everything else. The gameplay was well lived up to the hype and Aaron gave me goosebumps multiple times in the edit. Was well worth the wait and the effort payed off. GREAT job to both of you. And a special appreciation for Aaron! Loving you're editing and work ethic. You really get me motivated to keep editing and have fun. Keep it up!

  • @BroeyBroe
    @BroeyBroe 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Lemme just get to the point, and by that I mean a long rant, this video is just simply beautiful.
    It has something that I don't really get out of too many tages however Aaron seems to do that well with editing, and that's atmosphere and emotion. And to put that all into Mike's banger clips is all the more incredible.I'll say that I wasn't exactly the biggest in terms of song 1, but that doesn't mean its bad, editing, clips, angles and transitions were still extremely on point here which is all you really need to make it extremely enjoyable, so my negative is more subjective than objective.
    Onwards for Song 2, 3 and 4 though? OMG, I'M IN LITERAL LOVE WITH ALL THESE, Everything in each song just connects so fucking well together it's outstanding. The Outlined tracing of the angle of narrows at the end of song 2, was just beautiful. Song 3 makes halo 3 look like it fits perfectly with this type of music, and with the right editing, Aaron just proves that easily. And the Snowbound angle at 9:56? Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. The way to show throwback clips with this song and Tony's reaction is perfect too. And don't get me started on the multiple references to other montagers that also made their history in this community, Dutchy's Insane guardian play being referenced for the finishing over in Song 3. And YOU SAY FUCKING RUN, which I'll be honest I find to be absolutely hilarious since I fondly remember a Kung Fu Panda 2 video that goes along with it Lmao. However, while I found it funny at the beginning, it slowly became more and more epic (a word I fucking hate to use, but honestly it's how I feel about it). And showing Mike's inspirations (Kampy, Dutchy, Hyena and Fatrat) altogether while Mike is just a pure spec of a butterfly is quite a powerful image. And the Hyena styled dialogue to lead RIGHT into the drop is fucking MAGNIFICENT (really using big words here lmao). And to end off the tage with a showing of Mike's ascension is just sick.
    And this is JUST the editing aspect of it all. So I guess I'll get onto the clips now haha. Mike man, WTF ARE THESE CLIPS, The Epitaph Spin around, The Multiple 360's/720's/1,000,000,980's, The Multiple Ricochet clips, That ricochet troc into jaro on narrows is a perfect example. You fucking dominated this game with how much of a bad state it's admittedly in. The multiple clips hit over the lift in narrows is way too many to count that it feels unreal. And that Jaro exterm on citadel as the closer is definitely a clip I have a fond memory with, not just for how disgusting it was, but also your reaction with the #OMG's and the dolphin dive over onto your couch lmao. It's all fucking GROUNDBREAKING.
    Overall, No, Just EVERYTHING, is perfect. You two are such a fucking godly combo it's not even funny. Even though this is "hopefully" your last final. Cause even though this is your what 5th final? I hope you don't disappear like Tony. You're one of the last people in the community that represents a fucking amazing image in terms of these games.
    Aaron, seriously rest lmao. This editing is too good for me, It really makes me feel so emotional since it reminds me of visions I would have in terms of how my editing would turn out in the future. Keep it up man, I hope your phenomenal style carries over into something much bigger in your life and I hope you get super successful from it. Job well done putting this together man, It's fucking legendary.
    Mike, well...on the plus side you don't have to hunt for mains anymore haha (....hopefully). But this feels like you put in the limit for where people can go in terms of this game. It's unbelievable how fucking disgusting and stylish these clips are. All I can say besides that is that this tage will go down in History for this community as one of the best things to ever come out of it.
    Sad thing is lots of the community probably won't even find this slightly impressive due to the hate 343 and their defenders finding montages to be absolutely shit. Well even if you are someone that isn't a fan of montages, you can't deny the amount of passion, effort, time and most importantly SKILL that this video possesses, that comes from both of these two btw, and you can't just discredit it for the reason that montages just suck. Fantastic Job you two. I mean that.
    TL;DR: Best Tage of 2019, Arguable of ALL TIME.

Ishii man I know how much u love that Dutchy m3 nade launch ovk so that made me happy seeing that. Uhhhm I think it’s time people start speaking about ishii in the same vein as Dutchy phurion Kampy etc cus this definitely solidifies u as one of the best to ever do it, if the million different montage flashbacks in the video didn’t prove that point.

    Alright. Long shit. I'm re watching this as I type this out so bare with me. First off the bat Aaron. You did so fucking good with this edit. Your effects, transitions, angles, call backs, syncs, and flow were all amazing. Quotes from some of the guys were awesome and I loved that. The ghost effect on epitaph, the outlining of Narrows, and the 4 greats in the clouds really got me. DUDE that cloud part holy shit. I was shaking. I'm not kidding when I say I had to hold back tears. Matter fact that whole last song just fucking hit my ass hard I loved it. You have been getting better and better with every edit you do and I'm so glad you chose to edit Halo. Thank you man. Ok Mike. You absolute fuck. I yelled at my laptop when you said there was only 1 MCC clip in this. Idk if I'm the only one but that's insane to me. I could go on about your game play for hours no bull shit. The bank shots on clips that normal people would just hit a regular shot and call it a day. The spins for high kill links. Or that one off sword ramp to S2. THAT FUCKING 360 NS OVER ON THE KID TOP EPITAPH FUUUUUUCK OOOOOOFF MIIIIIIKE. I don't think there has been a tage where I said "THE CLIP IS'NT DONE YET?!" this many times. Look man I can't say I hope this is your last tage because "you can't top this" cause seeing this after M8 I know you can no question. But IF this is your last H3 tage it's a damn good way to go out. Local said it perfect and I wouldn't change a word he said. Same with BBQ and Howard tbh. You have put in so much work into this thing we love and I thank you for everything you have done bud. You have been a big inspiration to me and I'm sure many other montage kids. I'm happy you finally got to show us all this. Thank you both so much, and I'lL sEe yOu iN tHe NexT FinAL HUr DuRrRrr.

    I’ve pretty much told you guys all of my thoughts on this project over the past few years of its production, but it’s so surreal to see it finally released.
    The clips were absolutely insane and blew away M8’s standards for the most part imo. Some absolute jaw droppers in here that you should be really fucking proud of Mike. 341 laser jaro, both pit naires, the various lifting and 360 nonsense you hit, the fucking 360 ovk angle on epi, and of course that last MCC banger. There honestly wasn’t one clip that I thought shouldn’t have been in here (yes, even the last minute “lefties”) and it ended up being a perfect mix of unique lower multis and insane jaro+’s. You should be really happy with the gp you got for this Mike, absolutely nailed it .
    I’ve given you my thoughts on your editing too Aaron, but dude, this video brought your skillset to a whole new level and you can see the progression in this video for sure. There honestly isn’t a single thing I don’t like about this edit and I LOVE how each song had a distinct and separate style. Syncing, flow, angles, TRANSITIONS, effects, soundtrack, everything was just spot on. My favorite thing about this edit though are the original af transitions, easter eggs, and subtle things you put into it. The “ghost” on epi, red sword on pit, rainbow mid clip, exterm popping out of the medal feed, laser transition, narrows “etch a sketch”, super subtle “on 2” text on the wall, “overkill” lining up with the song lyrics, “720 incoming” replacing the gamertag over the spartan’s head, the SUPER smooth transition from the narrows troc to pit rico ovk, THAT WHOLE VALHALLA ANIME SEQUENCE, the lead up to credits…you just went all in on this Aaron and it’s insane to see it completed and released for everyone to see.
    You guys have been some my best friends in this community for a long time, so to see this finally out makes me so happy. I know this gets tossed around a lot these days, but this genuinely might be one of the last H3 360 social montages to be released. You two should be very proud of creating something this special that will surely become a classic for the next generation of montage makers on future Halo games or MCC on PC. You guys absolutely hit this out of the park and Mike, I know it’s gotta feel bittersweet leaving this game behind (360 at least), but you pretty much accomplished as much as you could ask for during your montaging “career”. This video will never truly get the amount of love that it deserves because it’s Halo, but just know this was well worth the wait. Love you both

    this was a joy to watch. some of the best editing for a halo montage I've ever seen, and the gameplay was top notch with several holy shit clips (3 for 1 laser jaro and the ricochet over into mancannon tac on Narrows come to mind). you had a hell of a run Ishii, thanks for the great montages

    I haven't commented on anything in like four years but from 9:00 onwards this video really started to land for me in a way I don't think anything has in a long time. Especially that last song, shit dude. I can't remember the last time I watched something that made me want to start a new project and get to editing. That song was just genuinely fucking phenomenal and very original in music choice and execution.
    Genuinely fucking great video and I totally understand about seeing yourself progress over the course of literally years. If you keep going back over the songs in your video and redoing them you'll never see your progression and also probably spend four years working on a video (coughs).
    My one complaint would be I think some of the song transitions are a little long and could be sliced down a little, just to keep things flowing.
    Fucking thank you for providing a download.
    Thanks for reminding me why I got into editing man, I can't remember the last time I just sat there watching a song grinning and wanting to find similar music to edit to.
    Gameplay is obviously bonkers, not much else to say.

    This didn't have me as hyped as Endgame but it does put a smile on my face. But seriously, we knew the gameplay would be top tier because it's happened for 8 previous tages plus how many different small ones. BUT I think it's important to note that H O L Y F U C K did Aaron absolutely blow this out of the water. So much versatility and the transitions/effects were mindblowing! This had more emotion that the How I Met Your Mother finale.

DoubleAA you're a genius editor, subtle things like the same cinematic on Pit to start and end the first song, so nice 👌 The editing at the start of Shelter, so sick bro!

  • @iTzRevolt
    @iTzRevolt 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great montage, at some points the editing had me feel like I'm watching "Enjoy" by Fuzon which imo is one of the most "feels good" montage there is. Great work guys. BTW i always thought Shelter - Porter Robinson and Madeon would have made for an amazing montage song when it came out, so glad to see it getting used.

    Your gameplay has so much style, I was blown away by every clip. Chaining up noscopes, quickscopes, and bank shots within the same multi is just insane and you do it so many times... The only thing that kind of disturbed me is the closer choice. I hoped for a clip that would top everything else and that we didn't see before but the fact that we already saw it ruins a bit the hype. Editing wise, Aaron did an incredible work, picking him up was the right choice. I hope you'll keep making videos on mcc and halo infinite.
