So I had to do a project on how the past affects the future. I figured the Space Age was the easiest one considering my love and devotion for Halo and the Halo universe. So here is my video, criticism is appreciated!

*SPOILERS* for those that didn't beat the games or Read the books (Excluding Cryptum)

Youtube-Halo Human Timeline


Four days of work I consider it pretty awesome, lol.

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

I loved it, Your choice of music is fantastic.
But if it's a project for your class, you might want to change "glassed" with "destroyed", since most people won't understand what it means.

Indeed. Try to explain things such as what the Spartan program is, what glassing means and other terms and event that non-fans wouldn't understand. I'd also advice you to follow The Fall of Reach more instead of Halo: Reach.

Don't be stupid like I was! Check to see what that Forum Ninja is saying to you!

Amazing dude, now I can show all my other Halo friends this video.

BANOOSH

I think it's a great summation of the Halo story, good editing, great music choice, just a good idea overall. But, like the others, I think you should make it more people-friendly, as not everyone in your class'll know the Halo Canon. I suggest explaining the formation of the UNSC, the SPARTAN program, the reason the Covenant attacked Humanity in the first place, etc. That's a pretty cool project, I wish I could do something like that for my classes. Good luck!

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Epic. Simply, epic. Great work.

You should've mentioned Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space. According to the tiers of technological advancements in Halo, humanity entered the space age (tier 4) when Yuri in 1961 became the first space traveller.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I added the "Key Terms" to the bottom of the video description for people unaware of the common Halo terms.

Yes, I'm a girl, stop asking.

Republic Commando fans look here.

"This is the way the world ends, not with a bang or whimper, but with zombies breaking down the back door."

Great job, very well put together. My only problem was that some scenes moved really fast and I wasn't able to read all the information and I'm a big Halo fan. I doubt your class will be able to keep up.

Also, as other people have mentioned, I would make it a bit more non-Halo fan friendly. They won't know who the UNSC was, or why the Spartans are significant. Maybe add in some side notes along the way.

Other than that, though, very good work!

There's a few things you need to clarify. Most importantly, explain what slipspace is and how the Interplanetary War was brought on by the past (wasn't it like a Neo-Soviet regime or something?).

In fact, to be totall honest, none of that will make sense to a normal non-Halo fan. Since its a school project, I'd focus more on the human expansion, the Koslovic regime, and the Insurrection rather then the Covenant.

Or you could do both and explain how the Covenant fit as a symbol for the Christain Crusades against the "infidels," how it works as a metaphor for how we as a race never learn from our past and we're being tested for that.

Otherwise, as a fan, it was really good, but in the case of a class project, it really seems to me to be like a Halo fan taking the Covenant thing way to far.

Edit: In fact, you could focus more on the rise and fall of humanity more thouroughly rather then just being a summary of events. Put Reach in the spot light; it was our first major extrasolar achievement and was also our biggest downfall.

Building up the legacy of Reach will help give validity to the project of the past effecting the future.

That is so awesome, OP. I cheered at one point with a, "hell yeah we did!"

I watched with a big smile on my face. :)

My one complaint is the text goes by too fast. If you ever have a chance to redo it, can you work on that? Maybe when there is more fiction unveiled and it would be worth remaking the video?

That said, AWESOME job.

I shall consider it, that seems to be the primary complaint. If I ever do make another one I will. I was trying to keep up with the music as well as keeping it under 10 minutes.

  • 03.02.2011 10:26 PM PDT

Thankfully the 10 minute limit no longer applies :)

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

That was awesome. If I had to give one piece of critical feedback, it would be that the words flashed a little too fast for me to keep up sometimes. Overall though,

Very nice :) I loved it.
But that's the fan-part of me.
After the First Battle of Mombasa everything goes a little fast, without the needed info. Like you never explained the Ark and what's the flood? People have questions like that.

But those things aside.
You are very talented, I really liked how you put some actual gameplay in it.
