Where's my Lancer?

I don't know if this has already been posted before, if it has just ignore. This video is a montage of work from animator Will Christiansen who works for Bungie and has been contracted to animate for Halo Reach. It's not much but I suppose it's something. Footage starts at 14 seconds and let me remind you it is ROUGH ANIMATION footage... not like a cinema scene or something. Here's the link:

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

That's not a leak, so be quiet about taking it down. It was posted by an employee and is a rough demo reel. Hardly something to get excited about. Still looks like it could be cool.

Really?!
Is there anything that says "Reach" or "ODST" or anything other than the fact that it is a Marine and a jackal?

Nope, its an Animation test. If it was for reach it would have not been approved by Bungie. It would still be under NDA. Halo 3 shipped, the Artists can have samples of their work on Halo 3 approved to be released in their Reels.

Games that are work in Progress are not permitted to have this sort of content released.
Its a Halo 3 Animation test. Thats all there is to it, its not a spoiler, it does not give insight into anything.

I watched the original video when it was on Will Christensen's YouTube Channel and he said it was 'from halo reach', 'can't wait until halo reach comes out' in the info for the video

and Will Christensen is contracted to work on Halo Reach for Bungie.

and if it is not from Halo Reach why does it keep getting taken down from YouTube???

pwned

Fail.
The only thing that makes it "Halo Reach" is that he was contracted for Bungie in January of 2009.
Well after Halo 3 shipped.

That said, there is nothing to say that it will be in Reach. Animation tests are a dime a dozen.
CONFIRMED: Covenant and UNSC in Halo REACH!

NO WAY!!!!

A lot of animators, especially contract animators, are required to do animation tests which many of which never make it into game.


Also: "Pwned" really? I would have thought with my 2 year hiatus from the Bungie.net Forums that the population would have aged a little.

blah blah blah

I take it you missed the little part where said employee removed it from his YouTube channel as well as his website, and replaced it with a new reel without the Halo animations shortly after its widespread publicity?

That is evidence enough to say it isn't "approved" for public eyes regardless from what game it is from, and because of that, it likely has no place being linked on these forums whether it is considered a leak or not.

Well originally you said that it had nothing to do with Halo Reach and you now now it's not for Halo 3 so it can only be from Halo ODST or Halo Reach and I read the info on his youtube video and it said it was from Halo Reach - That was from Will Christensen himself. I don't know what's so hard to understand about that. But you do have a point that Animation Tests are simply tests and that animation might not be in any halo game but it is an animation test for Halo Reach. I first watched the video of it yesterday and 20 minutes later Will took it down from his channel. It wouldn't have been taken down if it was from ODST. E3 already showed us footage and gameplay of ODST.

So? I could say that i work for Bungie and that it is ODST animation. That doesn't make it true. You have no proof.

Yah, and like I stated.
It still doesn't mean anything.
Its an Animation test. It sheds no insight into anything. Has no value outside of showing his skills as an Animator.
