A long time back, me and a few very close friends made a movie. This was the first movie I ever acted in and it was fun, yet stressful, yet rewarding at the same time. I completely believe the reward outweighs the stress. The community on YouTube have found the movie to be very well-made.

One of the actor's gamertag shown in the credits, xanimexkittiex, is changed to Altbud (me). I would post all of the other gamertags since they have been changed and/or abandoned for a new account, but I do not have permission. Unfortunately, there will not be a sequel made. If you want to act, please send a message to the YouTube account that posted the video.

I hope you enjoy the movie!

Amazing filming, only thing i didnt really like was the text (at 1:54).

A little confusing about why the soldier was fascinated with the SAM site

I suppose we could have used some other method to show time change. I'm glad you liked it. Your question about the site was supposed to be answered in the sequel, although, since there will be no sequel, it is supposed to be some sort of super-weapon stolen by the [orange] nation.

Or, you could simply claim it goes along with the theme (Battle for the Heavens), and the battle was kind of like the one in the campaign, except it was covenant, and not UNSC

I loved your musical score. To me, that is very critical and you picked a great one.

I really apreciate your feedback, guys. However, I noticed many people are complaining about the jerky movements on YouTube and here. The jerky camera was supposed to add to the action. Adding somewhat an "earthquake effect". Next time, We'll try this effect at a lower magnetude.

Just for you interested people, the music is from King Arthur (2004)

An amazing soundtrack and brilliant choreography. The filming is bang on and not at all jerky, instead it looks realistic and gritty, done in a similar manner to the new Battlestar Galactica.

love that soundtrack...more needed.

I have gotten in contact with the director with the film again. He is debating whether or not we should make another film. Normally, I would say hell-yes, however, that's what we always say and we never actually dedicate our time to making it. I guess we get lazy when we think about how this video took hours to make and days to edit. I'll remind him how this one turned out; maybe it will motivate him (the edittor). If not, there are plenty of members on here willing to help out.

Turns out the that director of BftH doesn't feel like making a new movie. Meh, there is a whole group that could help me.

I meant "more needed" as you need to make another enjoyable film.

Oh-h-h-h, I see. There will be more to come, just not from this editor. With hope, the next will be just as good if not better.

We're planning an hour long film. We have no idea how long this will take, but it will be a long-ass time 'till we are done.

  • 03.24.2009 7:54 PM PDT

Great job! It was pretty cool.

Thank you. Maybe if you can also post some suggestions to make it better so we don't make another mistake?

The editing was seamless and the camera angles were decent, overall it's a well put together machinima. On the other hand, the lack of dialogue or plot direction hinders the video, in a sense, making it just about Orange vs. Blue. I know the center of the story was the missile pad, but it should be worked in a little better.

With regards to the second movie, I would strongly protest to make a video or movie more than 10-20 minutes because it can be drawn out if the plot isn't interesting. I would suggest cutting it into six episodes approximately 10 minutes a piece, that way the attention span of the average person isn't used up.
