NOTE: This is completely fan made and NOT real! There is no actual movie being made by me (and by Bungie for all I know...)

I just thought I'd share these with you and see if you guys and girls thought they looked like something from a movie.

Also, I'm a first-time poster. I read the rules and I'm 99% positive this is where this would go.

Warning: Big images!
Movie Picture 1
Movie Picture 2
Movie Picture 3
All pictures were taken by me and edited by me using Photoshop.

I've also seen some edited Halo 3 pictures on the Bungie favorites in Halo 3. Are these hand-picked pictures by Bungie? Or are they made by the Community and randomly uploaded there?

I plan on making a "Movie Poster" to go along with the 3 pictures. Again, this isn't from a real movie, their just pictures.

If they are uploaded by the community, how would I get a picture, map, clip, etc. on there?

And one last question, I think I read somewhere that you can get that special Recon armor if Bungie really likes something you made, or you have good rep or something. How would we know if we got the Recon armor?

Getting a file on Bungie favorites is quite difficult. Bungie hand picks all the files that go on Bungie favorites, thus the name Bungie favorites. It has to be an original screenshot, video, or map. It cannot be edited using photoshop. Recon armor will soon be unlockable by finishing all the vidmaster achievements in Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST, so for now do not worry about it.

Are you sure they can't be edited? Because some of the screenshots in the Bungie Favorties don't look like they can be made in-game.

And I'm not really worried about the Recon armor, I quite like the armor I have not. Thanks for replying!

I am very sure. Those screenshots are made by master screenshot makers that know secrets to making awesome looking screenshots.

Ah, the only special way I found is using grenades and flying near them to make some pretty cool pictures...

I'm first going to make that movie poster, then I'm going to play around in Forge and try to find out ways to make awesome screenshots.

Got any tips for me?

Also, let's say I do have a picture that I would want to try and get on the Bungie Favorites. What might I do that will give me a chance of getting it on there?

I'm really new to this picture taking uploading thing...I just started yesterday :P

Edit: And is it possible to upload these pictures on my Bungie account?

The only advice I can give to you to get your screenshot noticed is to upload them onto your fileshare, then tag all your pictures so that people can easily find them by searching by tag.

Thanks! I got my pictures tagged and all I have to do now is wait and take more pictures :P

Will I be notified if one of my pictures are used for the Bungie Favorites?

Ok! Less about the Recon armor, more about the pictures and constructive criticism!
