Good Job Arbiter... Very Good Job... Love the Use of Transformers Soundrack..used it myself in "Elites of War"..but couldnt find a place for Scorponk..or whichever it is Called....As Alwasy..AAA Job =)..but.. it seemed very
"bland" in terms of quality.. maybe upping the contrats between colours would bring more..detail and sharpness to the footage itself.

At least you had some friends helping.. im a 1 man Job.. so yes..it was indeed Massive and EPIC =)

Hi Ghost Bn! Good to see you around, I remember you.

Considering it was recorded in 480p, standard definition, on a Dazzle Capture Card, it's hard to get true saturation adjustments using effects.

Once I get my Hauppauge going, trust me when I say everything looks like eye-candy.

WEll you use Vegas..8 or 9.. Correct... There are copuple of tricks that will help you get the sharpness and the Colours...rendering settings could also be of great help on terms of quality.

Long live the Last Refuge!

I just finished watching it all, besides issues with canon which I don't really care for in your case because their honestly wasn't much of a story to this machinima. Just a epic battle sequence which was quite beautiful. I'd love to see what you can do in terms of a full blown script to add with epic battle sequences.

It's an amazing video, no story line, just some nicely choreographed action. It's very enjoyable to watch and you did an awesome job on it Arby.

Without me, it's just "Aweso".

I must say, that was some of the best editing I have ever seen for any type of machinima. Great job!

I am a Halo 3 Failure.

This thing is just beautiful! My only problem with it is the large amount of Spartans sent to Arcadia. Other then that it's great!

OMG Epicsause!

I've been loading this for the past 10 minutes in 720p, but gosh is it worth it, or at least the trailer tells me so.

Speaking of chuckles, let's all lol at IonicPaul, who makes friends with bugs to make up for his lack of human contact.

That was the best large-scale machinima I've seen. I only had two big complaints: Lack of dialogue, and canonical errors with the Spartans (at that time, there were only 32).

I will admit, the part with the UAV gave me goosebumps. I really wish you had a slightly more story-heavy script; you would tear the machinima world a new one.

This project was never intended to be a story-driven plot. It was originally designed just to accompany epic music and practice cinematography and choreography. However, that changed, as it became large scale.

I much prefer in-deep stories, with characters for the viewers to attach to. Now that I have advanced well with machinima, that is exactly my goal.

Time to bring the Action and Adventure back to the machinima world.

HOLY SHATS, ARBY! YOU'RE A MYTHIC MEMBER! :O
Congratulations.

That aside, great job. I left a brief paragraph of criticism on Part 3. This was a fun six months. <3

The special effects were more of a bonus, I tried not to center the movie around it. If there was anything I would center around, it would be the cinematography.

The next movie I'm making may be more interesting, may not. I'll let you decide.

Then once Reach comes out I'm going to start some long adventure machinimas, which by then better keep you entertained. :D

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Aha! Finally got my laptop back to watch this, I was very impressed by the cinematography and the way the camera was used in some shots (especially with the aerial battles and the Ghosts). Plus, the special effects were completely seamless, very well put into the machinima - especially the Phantom, which I can tell a lot of work went in to.

The music wasn't as good though, I liked hearing a track from Steve Jablonsky, but from there I think soundtrack choice was a little poor. I feel there would be better orchestrated tracks to relay the image of loss and destruction.

One thing about machinima I never have high hopes for is the voice acting, however you had a great cast of voice actors which was pulled off nicely.

Overall, a very good job, well done. I am anticipating your next work.

No, acnboy. Spartain Ken 15 is a lesser being. Much like the bacteria that lives in your shi­t.

My shi­t bacteria takes offense to that comparison.

Don't make me lel. You won't like me when I lel.

Amazing, that's all I can say.

Yar-har!

Great cinematography! The action was also very well done and believable.

The only thing that bugged me was most of the voice actors (except for the Colonel, he was fine). Their microphones just weren't on par with the rest of the machinima.

But again, great job overall.

It would also be nice to nice to get some older actors, but as of now I can't accelerate any of our ages any faster than time can.

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! That was my ultimate goal in making this video.

Very good Machinima. I was surprised by the quality. The Phantom was also a really nice touch. You have really gone above and beyond on this video.

Let me know when you are making another, I would like to help if I can. If you need another actor, help forging a map, ideas, scrips. I can write you a story if you want, anything from the basic plot line to a book. Just let me know in the PM box here on Bungie, or let me know via Xbox Live message system.

Like I said, well done.
