Subject: New Halo: Reach machinima "The Legacy of Echo"

Hello Bungie community.

My friends and I just released the trial video for our new machinima series called "The Legacy of Echo". This was in fact our very first video we have ever made and are looking for some ideas/advice on how we can improve. Sure we have already noticed some flaws with camera angles and the audio but we have an idea of how to fix those. We are currently in production of the first episode of the series and should be live within a few weeks.

Here is a link to the video.

"The Legacy of Echo"

Feel free to comment on the video on this thread and/or the video itself. Remember this is our first video ever so be nice =).

Forged in the Flames of Passion, go forth and represent!

Not bad, but the dialogue in the beginning was very monotone. For the future, you might consider taking a different approach to that--take necessary pauses, emphasis on words--whatever it takes to emotionally grip the viewer.

And the combat sequence was cool, albeit a bit unoriginal and unlikely (Spartans strafing in the middle of an open battlefield with Wraith mortars, Needler and Plasma rounds flying all around them, but never hitting...except for that one guy that died, I guess, after which his teammate came over with a dropshield and kind of teabagged him. lol)

By no means bad, though. I think your storytelling could be very good in this. Keep it up.

Let's be honest, it could be a lot worse.

Great work, could actually be a good serios machinima. Also battle part is a bit long.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys! Do to some thinking and script editing, I have come to a conclusion that the video you guys saw is just a trial video for the actual series. The "new and improved" prologue will be airing soon. Hope you guys check it out on release. =]
