Nice video, not into mushy drama but it was pretty good. But you REALLY need to work on the action parts. I know this isn't an action series, but come on. If you need a good idea of what action scenes should look like, heres the best Halo cinimatography I could find on youtube.
NOTE: I'm not saying this is good, just good action
Halo G.R.A.W.

Or you could just whach the Omaha beach from Saving Private Ryan

I appreciare the comments but the focus of the story, and the entire series for that matter, is on story telling and not action for action's sake. This story in particular was not about the cat and mouse chase but the reason why they were there. To inject high impact action into "The Gift" would have defeated it's entire purpose.

The action was ok but there was absolutely no story to support it and that is not my style.

I've seen it and my father-in-law filled me in on some of the minor details that were missed from his experience. The opening action sequence in Saving Private Ryan was a counter point to the actual story and gave meaning to what they were doing. The Halo CE Chronicles on the other hand is about the relationship between the Station Commander and the AI, two misfits who individually don’t measure up but together accomplish what neither could alone.

If you are an action for action’s sake kind of viewer then its “mushy stuff”. It was never intended to be “typical” Halo fare.

Ya, I know your focus is on the story, and persoanly you are a great writer. When I make amchinimas I try to incorperate the story with alot of chaos and action. From what I am currently doing I'm trying to show the suffering of man, getting totaly massacured and some of my main characters suffer from horrible betrayal and death.

You don't have to but I would like if anyone would read this, it's not that great but I would like some feedback. I'm only on the fith episode the the story is JUST beggining to show it's colors, so don't tell me:
"Your story sucks"
Because currently it's barley started. Feedback please.

P.S. This is copy righted, so don't even think of stealing it. I dought anyone would, but you can't be to careful.
