This dude needs his own company, he would literally direct a 10/10 movie whether it’s halo or not. Did you see how beautiful the movement was after he fell out the drop pod?
Absolutely fucking masterful, how you keep putting out animations of this quality pretty much entirely on your own with no funding or budget is quite frankly insane. Probs the most talented dude I know, keep it up bro!
Honestly, an ODST add on to infinite’s campaign starting similar to this would be incredible. Would fit perfectly into the story prior to Chief arriving on Zeta
2:15 The risers swung around his neck, connectors cracked his dome! Suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones; The canopy became is shroud; he hurtled to the ground. *And he ain't gonna jump no more.* This is just so fucking good, I love every little detail!
i was thinking of how clever this was to make a short animation about an odst who never made it far, a sort of giving honor to those who suffered the same fate in real life, but then i read this ode and suddenly it clicked on my head and made the connection to the hymm that was playing at the very start. mind blowned
That was better then the entire Halo TV series. in all seriousness though outstanding job! I especially like him humming blood on risers in the opening. That was a nice touch.
This is insane, literally gave me chills. In the games and books you see/hear of how tactical and rugged ODSTs are, but this gives you an idea of how easily their missions could turn them into cannon fodder.
Seriously dude. Not even bungie did this for ODST and their budget was in the millions. They had a black fade out and in when they cut thru atmosphere. This was beautiful
Which is funny since the U.S. Marines aren't u.s. army airborne, which the ODSTs have more of a connection with. Hell, our poor boy was humming to "Blood on the Risers," nor are the ODSTs UNSC marines.
This is a community moment on par with 'Astartes'. The Halo game I most remember is ODST. The book I most remember is Cole Protocol. Specifically the ODST parts. And this is shaping up to be the animation I remember most, alongside 'Day at the Beach'. Great job bud, keep it up.
if i recall correctly the creator of astartes was actually contacted by game workshop (the developers of warhammer 40k) and offered him a a pretty penny to work for them. i cant recall if he took the offer but i remember a person somewhere posting online saying "our boi did it, he got recognized!" and it was a picture of an email sent by GW offering a job to the guy that made the astartes videos. with any luck this man here will get discovered by MS and offered money to produce an actually GOOD halo series (fuck you paramount and your halo tv series) where we as a community can be proud of our franchise again.
@@moviemaker2011z He does work for GW now yes. They actually kinda forced him by threatening to take down the works too lol, but still ended up doing well.
@@HaloVFX you are doing gods work my guy, you are bringing back that love that we all had for halo at one point or another in our lives and i couldn't be any more excited even if i tried. halo is my life blood, it was my first game i ever played way back in 2001 and i remember the pure joy i felt even being 5 years old how much i loved halo, years later i rediscovered halo with halo 2 and 3 and that feeling came back like a damn freight train and ever since i have been addicted to everything halo related. its no secret that halo is losing its soul, its very meaning due to lazy writing and corporation greed; and with that its no secret that the wider community is starting to hate and resent the franchise because it almost feels as if the franchise has become one big cash grab meant only to suck us dry and move on to the next halo project to rinse and repeat the cycle. but YOU are bringing that love back, the chills i got watching this were the same as they were back then and i would trust you with every fiber of my being if i heard halo was being left in your hands. what you make and the feelings your work makes us feel is exactly what we need more of and i cannot possibly thank you enough for your service to the community. I look forward to seeing more great things in the future.
@@LuoSon312_G8 When you say that specific loadouts do you mean a physically separate parachute because all ODST pods have a parachute like system which is what I meant. That being said the likely reason they don't have chutes standard is because AA already kills a pod going terminal velocity and then humanities God of war has to fist fight gravity itself so that the pod can land at all the issue with parachutes that hold a person are they are a big slow target honestly ODSTs are literally peak performance as far as Futurisitc paratroopers go in my opinion
At the start of this, the ODST is humming "Blood on the Risers", an old song about a WW2 paratrooper who falls to his death because the parachute fails, just like this ODST falls to his presumed death because his pod broke open.
Well I guess we know why they call him "Legs" (if I heard that correctly) now. Can't wait to see more of this, ODSTs have always been my favorite branch of the UNSC ever since their introduction in Halo 2 and I feel like we don't get enough of them.
@@HaloVFX I would really dig a short follow-up where we follow legs (probably injured) as he tries to reorientate himself in the forest, an air battle raging above him. Could be incredibly atmospheric, as combat rages all around but a lot of it would still be hidden by the trees, and only bits can be seen when looking straight up
Fricking phenomenal. I watched this on my phone and it still had me on the edge of my seat. I pray one day you'll have the budget and team to make your art into films.
I loved the faint humming to the tune of "Blood on the Risers/Gory Gory What a Helluva Way to Die" right at the beginning as a throwback to the OG paratroopers.
Ngl every time I see something ODST related it’s always a calm wait in the drop pod and then sudden chaos, literally the definition of “0-100 real quick” that’s for sure
I love that you had him humming Blood on the Risers. The lyrics of that song saying "He ain't gonna jump no more", and the fact he's humming that just before this awful event is so perfect and brutally accurate.
That was shapeshifter the talented voice actor who did those lines. He sent them to me and I was like “damn that’s an excellent choice to put in, I wanted the odst doing something but didn’t know what and shapeshifter delivered :)
This is the kinda potential that every fan knows that the Halo universe has and you keep realizing our deepest dreams. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
This was outstanding. The back and forth before keying into comms with the other ODSTs to stir them up, the frenetic movement of the dogfighting, the handle grab and break... then freefall. Don't even get me started on the one Trooper's pods literally cooking them as it's heat ablative panels fail. Such attention to detail and working in nuanced bits of the ODST experience in such a short span of time. This is a masterpiece, and a masterful display of Helljumpers like we haven't seen since Halo 3: ODST and I love every second of it!
Love when a creator makes the ending very dark and just real to grasp how disappointing and unforgiving the cruel world is. Halo should be very dark and unforgiving, but it's never truly felt like that except in cinematics or certain campaign mission (which are honestly only in Halo CE, H2, ODST and Reach).
Now, it IS possible that ODST survived, since he hit trees from not all too high an altitude. But yeah. If that was the end right there, I wouldn't even be mad
@@ThehandleSigmawasstolenfromme Highly unlikely, he was already falling at high velocity, he'd have to bleed off speed to reach terminal velocity, and he fell for about twenty seconds. He probably fell a good four or five thousand feet there. Even hitting trees with advanced armor to avoid getting punctured he's got incredibly poor odds of survival.
@@WB1813 This trooper's survival is unlikely, but there is always the small chance that he somehow survived if he landed on something at an angle and/or the snow could've cushioned it somewhat, or just anything to break his fall for that matter. However, even if he did survive he would have severe injuries which may or may not include broken/shattered bones and internal bleeding depending on his level of luck. By the time he wakes up he is going to want to find a med kit and biofoam immediately.
@@WB1813 A human can survive a fall of terminal velocity. And we don't know how fast that trooper was falling. From the looks of his CO, they had deployed airbrakes by the time he was pulled from his pod. And even then, at terminal velocity, he would have slammed into those trees far faster than he did. He has a much better chance of surviving the fall. He probably won't be walking away from it, yeah, but he has a pretty good chance of not dying. As for the actual distance from his pod that he fell, I would give maybe a thousand, thousand five hundred. Still fucking nuts and he will probably have several broken limbs, among other things. But death isn't a guarantee. Especially since we have actual, real world records of unarmored and unprepared civilians surviving far deadlier falls
"We are the Stewarts and we are looking green, and very, very mean! - oorah!" Amazing voice acting and dialouge, spectacular animation quality and action packed sceneary put all together in 3 minutes in this one video. It was worth the wait 😎👍👍
Leagues above everything Paramount put out. You can feel the passion oozing out of every frame, and the voice acting, oh man, that was a thing of beauty! Kudos to you, friend! Thank you for making this!!
Holy mother of God that was both exciting and horrifying at the same time. And again, I am absolutely blown away at the quality of this little project. That was awesome! This is amazing work.
I love the marines phrases it felt like something Johnson would say lol the surprise when they pushed through the clouds was crazy and how well it flowed when he got sent flying was beautiful! Can't wait to see what else you come up with ! Awesome work!
I really love the Sound FX of the Anti-aircraft explosions after they start their drop. It sounded almost like Heartbeats, which made the atmosphere of tension that much more palpable.
That was amazing, and the quality is on par with blur. Would love to see you, Laper Larden and Wernissage collab to make the ODST story DLC a mini series. It would be amazing to see more stories from the battle of zeta halo.
It makes me happy that such an artistic person, with so much appreciation for the Halo universe, exists. It's evident in the quality of your videos. Thank you for your hard work and all of the time you put into it.
It’s amazing how well you managed to capture the camaraderie and excitement many paratroopers feel before their jump. Then it all goes to shit in an instant after the incoming fire starts hitting all around them. So many instances of this in real life and you managed to make it super realistic in an animation about a video game. Such an amazing job.
I’ve always been a massive fan of ODSTs and wish there was more media about them. This short film sooo scratches that itch and leaves me wanting more! Amazing work, can’t wait to see what you do next!
Haven't had a fan animation give me chills for a really long time now! Oustanding job, going to donate to your patreon, keep up the good work! wish 343 would notice this and take some notes
We're lucky as a community to have a person like you, seriously amazing work. A halo movie with these darkness and realism would be fantastic, maybe some day you direct one! you have the skills, again...amazing
This is the goods I really like how you managed to show and feel the disorientation that being flung from a drop pod would cause not knowing what way was up while still falling to dirt
Its actually insane how good this is, please do follow ups of when the ODSTs are on the ground. Your High Charity videos were so good i would love to see more of this ODST mission. Keep up the good work, youre an artist
I got goosebumps when they yelled “HOO RAH!” Amazing attention to detail btw, I loved how you included the same beeping sound they used in the game when they launched their pods
this gave me chills. this is so well done and beautiful that its hard to even think of it as a fan made project. i would very much love to see a full length movie following these troopers because so far it has more heart and soul put into it than the damn halo tv series does and this is merely a 3 minute fan project. as a die hard halo fan and as a person who is trying to write and make my own halo game, i salute you for the wonderful video you have blessed us with.
i mentioned that i was wanting to make my own halo game, and just so its not misinterpreted by what i mean, its only relevant because the game centers around a group of ODST's (their group are referred to as hell knights) as they are fighting against the insurrection all around the outer colonies. no Spartans, no flood, and no covenant are planned to be involved at any point in the story i have planned thus far. its simply focusing on the war against the insurrection and the growing threat they pose to the UNSC (ONI more specifically) as the UNCS/Covenant war rages on. i have many ideas planned and wrote down but am currently facing writers block for how i want to line up the story and where i want it to go but after seeing this it gives me a few ideas of some conflicts that might make the game more engaging. my friend who has been helping me with writing it all has decided to abandon it and gets mad/noticeably frustrated whenever i bring it up so i have nobody to talk to about it or bounce ideas off of thus the writers block. im even attempting to learn UE5 and blender so i can try to make a few samples but i work two jobs (6 days a week) and i can barely find time to practice either program. so like said seeing a literal masterpiece like this gives me some inspiration to not give up and to keep pushing forward, kinda like the ODST's themselves.
Goddamn, this is INCREDIBLE. The extremely inspiring speech before the drop compared to the sheer chaos and torment of an actual drop where you're just an ODST against the entirety of the banished, you painted it PERFECTLY.
The more terrifying thing is to think of the fact that he could be alive without his equipment injured possibly.... Probably.... In the middle of a combat drop in hot zone
Seeing that drop pod on fire gave me chills !!! It reminds me of the scene in The Flood when it describes the ODSTS dropping from the Pillar of Autumn Great work man keep it up!!

This would cure halo fans from that halo series
Screw a movie make this a game
This dude needs his own company, he would literally direct a 10/10 movie whether it’s halo or not. Did you see how beautiful the movement was after he fell out the drop pod?
Voice acting was also amazing. You could practically feel the tension as he tried to stay calm while plummeting to the trees below.
343 could learn something from a man like this
I mean he is a lead animator for ILM, the premier animation studio in the business. Bro is doin big things
@@deathxbyxteacup1868 Lead?? I'm promoted?? ;) I'm only a Senior Animator not a lead yet!
@@HaloVFX If you haven't been made a lead then someone's not doing their job. Good job on the animation btw.
The ODST burning alive in his pod is absolutely horrifying.

Blood on the risers

Suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones;
The canopy became is shroud; he hurtled to the ground. *And he ain't gonna jump no more.*

@@BrickedUpp ODST was supposed to be the final DLC for Halo 3 among the mythic maps all in one package but Microsoft greediness interfered.
I appreciated the "aye sir" and the "ooh rah" it's always nice when military games portraying the marines use our proper terminology
Meanwhile 343 couldn't do that in Halo Finite lol let alone the TV series.
rah devil
Sadly the Army was only in Reach, it’s always Marines that are the poster boy of the military
it did feel nice, didn't it?
Which is funny since the U.S. Marines aren't u.s. army airborne, which the ODSTs have more of a connection with. Hell, our poor boy was humming to "Blood on the Risers," nor are the ODSTs UNSC marines.

Why did this make me laugh 😆
He bounced.
(Bouncing refers to when irl skydivers die due to parachute failure.)
That was really well done. Cheers to another great project mate! Also makes you wonder why ODSTs don’t seem to have parachutes
They should actually have parachutes and have a ejection system that would be pretty cool idea.
They do...... it's in the pod
they probably assume the pod will hold and anything strong enough to rip a trooper out of one would probably make a parachute redundant anyways
only specific loadouts have that getup, and those boots do the old airborne proud

In less than 3 minutes, this guy does a better job of making me want to see what happens next than the cursed TV show.
It’s amazing how well you managed to capture the camaraderie and excitement many paratroopers feel before their jump. Then it all goes to shit in an instant after the incoming fire starts hitting all around them. So many instances of this in real life and you managed to make it super realistic in an animation about a video game. Such an amazing job.
I’ve always been a massive fan of ODSTs and wish there was more media about them. This short film sooo scratches that itch and leaves me wanting more! Amazing work, can’t wait to see what you do next!
These 2 minutes and 45 seconds were more entertaining than the "Halo" tv show.
Hard to believe this video didn't need 10 million dollars to make. This is what Halo is.
@@Sanya6496 Ooo-rah!
@@Mate397 I literally said that with the vid man it's awesome.
Haven't had a fan animation give me chills for a really long time now! Oustanding job, going to donate to your patreon, keep up the good work! wish 343 would notice this and take some notes
Woah. I got literal chills from this
Amazing, gave me Saving Private Ryan vibes when he was free falling and watching the carnage in the air around him.
Omg!?! Love every second! I really love the style of the odst Helmet you did with it! I swear it look more sharp and sleek and not bubbly!!
OMG, this 2:45 mins are far better than one Paramount+ season, keep up the good work dude :)
We're lucky as a community to have a person like you, seriously amazing work.
A halo movie with these darkness and realism would be fantastic, maybe some day you direct one! you have the skills, again...amazing
This is the goods
I really like how you managed to show and feel the disorientation that being flung from a drop pod would cause not knowing what way was up while still falling to dirt
Its actually insane how good this is, please do follow ups of when the ODSTs are on the ground. Your High Charity videos were so good i would love to see more of this ODST mission. Keep up the good work, youre an artist
Live the “gory gory what a hell of a way to die” at the beginning. Instantly set the tone. Instantly. 10/10.
This would be a perfect introduction for an ODST campaign expansion. Amazing work !
I got goosebumps when they yelled “HOO RAH!” Amazing attention to detail btw, I loved how you included the same beeping sound they used in the game when they launched their pods
that was a hell of an experience
Hearing the agony in the screams as the pod burned up was chilling. 1000/10 would watch again
Had me feeling like I was there! This is incredible work Fr
“We are Helljumpers, and Hell is our domain!” God I fucken love that line.
I've been looking forward to this
this gave me chills. this is so well done and beautiful that its hard to even think of it as a fan made project. i would very much love to see a full length movie following these troopers because so far it has more heart and soul put into it than the damn halo tv series does and this is merely a 3 minute fan project. as a die hard halo fan and as a person who is trying to write and make my own halo game, i salute you for the wonderful video you have blessed us with.
i mentioned that i was wanting to make my own halo game, and just so its not misinterpreted by what i mean, its only relevant because the game centers around a group of ODST's (their group are referred to as hell knights) as they are fighting against the insurrection all around the outer colonies. no Spartans, no flood, and no covenant are planned to be involved at any point in the story i have planned thus far. its simply focusing on the war against the insurrection and the growing threat they pose to the UNSC (ONI more specifically) as the UNCS/Covenant war rages on. i have many ideas planned and wrote down but am currently facing writers block for how i want to line up the story and where i want it to go but after seeing this it gives me a few ideas of some conflicts that might make the game more engaging. my friend who has been helping me with writing it all has decided to abandon it and gets mad/noticeably frustrated whenever i bring it up so i have nobody to talk to about it or bounce ideas off of thus the writers block. im even attempting to learn UE5 and blender so i can try to make a few samples but i work two jobs (6 days a week) and i can barely find time to practice either program. so like said seeing a literal masterpiece like this gives me some inspiration to not give up and to keep pushing forward, kinda like the ODST's themselves.
Goddamn, this is INCREDIBLE. The extremely inspiring speech before the drop compared to the sheer chaos and torment of an actual drop where you're just an ODST against the entirety of the banished, you painted it PERFECTLY.
Just watching the pod break open was horrifying.
I really hope legs survived that free fall
Amazing work on this animation.
The more terrifying thing is to think of the fact that he could be alive without his equipment injured possibly.... Probably.... In the middle of a combat drop in hot zone
In the middle of a combat zone, Literal hell.
I love the juxtaposition between the blood-rushing speech given at the beginning and the cold brutal reality of war.
“He hit the ground, the sound was splat, his blood went spurting high…
His comrades they were hurt to say, a hell of a way to die…”
Astronomical Dude! Everything from the models, texturing, lighting, atmosphere, sound design etc... was beautifully executed! Great stuff!
That drop pod caught on fire it become helldiver ! 😮
Seeing that drop pod on fire gave me chills !!!
It reminds me of the scene in The Flood when it describes the ODSTS dropping from the Pillar of Autumn
Great work man keep it up!!
Hopefully bungie/343 watches this. This is gold, this is how to get your fans hyped
Bruh I know I said on patreon but rewatching it again this is phenomenal the burning drop pod with the intense breathing and looking around was A1
This animation alone shows the seriousness of the halo universe....
Need more of this lol
This was amazing!!! I expecially love the classic "boop boop boop boooop" noise when the pod drops!
This was insanely well excecuted. Great job!
Dude, you always knock this shit out of the park. This is next level, and I want to play a game that opens exactly like this.
Only 600 views? This was one of the best cinematics I’ve ever seen! We need to get it up!
Oh it will reach 1 million 🤞🏼
