Subject: The Other Spartans (New Halo 3 Machinima Series)

Hi everyone. I've been working on a new Halo 3 Machinima series for the past couple weeks, and the first part is finally out. The story ties in with the Halo story we all know and love. Here is the preface:

This is a brand new Halo 3 Machinima series by Nameless Studios. Everyone knows about the SPARTANs and Master Chief, and about how they fought the Covenant. But what about the SPARTANs that didn't make it past augmentations? This is their story, an epic tale of how one squad of rejected SPARTANs saves humanity. This story takes place around the same time Noble Team is in action during Halo: Reach.

Note: This is fan-fiction, not Halo canon.

I would really appreciate all of you taking a look at it, and giving me some constructive feedback.

What did you like about it?
What needs improving?
Do you think the plot idea will work out well?
Want to participate (mainly voice acting)?
Anything else you'd like to add?

Thanks a whole lot guys and gals, and I hope you enjoyed. Sorry if this is against any rules that I am unaware of.

"You are the last of your kind: bred for combat, built for war. You're the master of any weapon, pilot of any vehicle, and fear no enemy"

I feel like someone's done this before?

Haha, pretty good mate.

Thanks Johnson. Has there already been a machinima based on this? Or were you just commenting on the fact that it is, yet again, another Halo 3 machinima?

Pretty Good, Machinimator Myself, Except My Machinima is Based around Elites instead =)"Elites of War"..fitting name=)..and mine is more or Less Serious..

Though i have few quirks..the echoes just..dont give that Feel of "presence"..you can easily fix that however with masking it with other sounds, such as background music..also the Envioroment sounds..while nice in certain scenes can destroy the mood in others...might want to lower it abit.

Dont take my critisizm close to heart..i ahte when other critisize my work as well, but your things can be easily fixed=)

Voice acting was well done..i assume you are the only voice actor..maybe 2 ..but i felt that some voices were simular..i have the same problem so its fairly acceptable... Besides that i hope you give some central story and not follow RvB example of "pointlesness" with their first.. 3 seasons or so...

Question..why not Start it Reach?..

Wow, really great reply GhostBN. Yeah, I'll try and do voice-overs in a bigger room next time, we were in a tiny little place for this episode. There were 4 voice actors, but I modified two of them to sound deeper. I may have overdone it a bit because Boss and Jim basically sound the same. I'll try and make that more subtle in the next episode.

Don't worry about the story, I've got a pretty decent plot thought out. Just gotta work out the details, haha.

I really want to do this in Halo: Reach, but do not own a copy myself. Maybe my friend will let me borrow his for the next episode? Do you really think doing it in Reach will have a big impact?

Halo 3 Machinimas are well inbred by now .. people are more keen to seeing new material..in a new setting with much more variety.
