shhhhhhh

Here is a short GNOP! Promotional Video I made using Flash and Windows Movie Maker. Some of you may also recognize the song part I placed in.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2K1cDgY0d0.

Hope you like it.

Edit: I made a more improved GNOP! Video. I guess a lot of people thought the random GNOP! popping up was annoying, So I removed it. Plus I added a little more footage to the game being played, and improved the FPS so it's more smooth. Enjoy.

To Gnome: only put the second one up by my name. The first one is no longer in the contest.

Here's my movie. Yes, I know it's not that great. But I didn't make it specifically for this occasion. I was bored a few weeks ago and just decided to play around with Gmod 9 for a while and this is what came out. The Bungie logo's not in it either, but that can be fixed, depending on the response I get from the public. No , I don't expect this to win. I don't even expect you to like it. I just thought I'd put it out there.

It's not really promoting anything, other than the Spartans. Yeah, I know they're fighting humans but apparently no one has the time to put together a few Covenant ragdolls.

Hey everyone there's a lot of good music videos being made here but very few promos. Think about how you'd advertise a bungie product in a cinema, think about the pacing of shots (normally fast and lost of them if it's action) and think about music (not normally pop, they normally use the film's own score). Also think about showing that green page with copyright information that seems to be at the start of all modern movie trailers.

Also try to be creative, it's easy to show halo as an action packed trailer, but what about taking all the funny moments and making a trailer as if it was a comedy for example. Also you could try doing your own voice over. Just my thoughts

Bungie Halo Video Created By RaideN 2005

This is my entry to the competition :)

This is my video, showing the three halo games and how they have changed in graphics wise and how much beautifull the new era of halo 3 and how sad we all will be if halo 3 is the end of the era of halo gaming.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say that it isn't exactly Don LaFontaine making these videos. I already tried doing a voicover and it sounds horrible.

I have a question: does this have to be a bungie game? Could I make a trailer for a nonexistant game using whatever footage is necessary? The idea being that this is a game that bungie could make.

Also, can I use whatever music I want, or must it be music from Bungie games?

If I enter, my entry will be made with Vegas 6.

Here's my first entry I used Premiere and Photoshop for just about everything. I'm no good with After Effects an such so the SFX that I do have in ther are mighty cheezy, but I guess it goes with the theme of the game.

Owt Gnop! Enjoy.

It has to be Bungie related. If you're planning on making a promo video for a game that bungie could make then be very carefull. I think it's fine as long as it's Bungie related in one way or another. For the music, you can definitely use whatever music you see fit.

Phrog pilots, reckless and free. We would strap into our birds, set the engines on fire, and leave these earthly bonds with a chorus of WHOP WHOP WHOP. Akin to beating your chest and howling in defiance at the rest of the world.

Premiere pro 2 and after effects 7 wont make ur trailer better, it will only speed up ur own progress a bit. It wont do -blam!-3 if your not creative. U can make a lot of creative stuff with movie maker, its a frustrating piece of software but it is possible.

i Used Premiere Pro ( 1 ) and Sound Fordge 6 ( yep an older and simpeler version of what lateron was taken over by Adobe and called Audition ) to edit the Vid and the music. Cus editing music within any video-editing software suxx. (Still dont know why its that way, why doesnt Adobe integrate audition within Premiere and After effects).

Ow im sorry about the wining :)

Google "Halo Font", you'll find plenty. I've downloaded a Halo font myself.
