The Battle of Miridem - Episode 1 - Part 1/2

[GrimProductions114]

This is really cheesy

[Seven7hDay]

Good presentation and nice effects. I appreciate the effort to sell the realism. Excellent quality, too. What video capture device do you use?

[thecraftminerable]

this is a very good machinima nice work dude

[MrMrsean212]

04:40 is that edited

[08Putte08]

@MrMrsean212 Yep.

[G3Gamers]

12:33 made me laugh like mad

[08Putte08]

@G3Gamers Because of the brute that got sniped? :P

[Megallean]

@Cypher157 yea that would be cool, but a scene like that was done over Xbox live. Because of that, weapon lowering is not usable.

[nelson1O1]

You know you can lower their weapons? Then it doesn't look like they all want to kill each other.

[08Putte08]

@nelson1O1 Yeah, it really is a problem. I couldn't do these scenes on local. And back then I didn't have the no-weapon mod... :(

I've lowered the weapons in a lot of scenes for episode 2, so hopefully you'll be satisfied when you see it. :P

[Seven7hDay]

@08Putte08 You don't need a mod to lose your weapons. Simply walk backward with a turret and active hologram as you drop the turret, I believe... It will drop your weapons, but your arms are tense and it kind of looks dumb. Looks better just to use weapons. And did you say mods? You use mods now? I've done a lot of searching on the web about the legality because I was wanting to use mods when I start machinima. I was under the impression it is illegal. Do you know for sure?

[Seven7hDay]

@nelson1O1 As he said, you cannot lower weapons on XboxLIVE, only local, which allows a maximum of four players per TV. The scenes wouldn't have the same feel with only 4 soldiers in a room. I think the sacrifice was worth it. Good job, Putte.

[Cypher157]

What is the song at the beginning?

[Cypher157]

@Cypher157 Just a suggestion don't have people with their pistols out (aka the briefing scene) it's just a personal thing but I think that it looks better not to have them out. Just my opinion also my original question still stands

[MasterJedi96]

Can i help u make ur next machinima

[08Putte08]

@MasterJedi96 Check my channel description.

[OblivionkeeperX]

Have you noticed that they misspelled June for when this video came out in the section below the video? They spelled Jun instead of June. Accident or on purpose?

[superddz37]

When is episode two coming out?

[08Putte08]

@superddz37 I've been working on episode two for quite some time now. Hopefully it will be done in about a month, it's a lot of work, I can never be sure.

[PumpkinHeadstudios1]

[08Putte08]

@DeeJayYZ013 Spreading my videos and subscribing always helps. :)

[dementeddog10]

I saw part 1 and 2. This is by far the best machinima in reach i have ever seen (other than Arbiter617's Rise of the Spartans)

[08Putte08]

@dementeddog10 Glad to hear. Tho... I'm a bit sad face that I don't get a lot of views...

[XGhostOfWarX]

@08Putte08 How did you make the radio voice? Just wanted to know.

[SPARTANA110]

@dementeddog10 ...

[reach4fallen]

@dementeddog10 ...why would you say that on another machinima?

[lasermatt2000]

how did you put all those effects in

[08Putte08]

@lasermatt2000 Sony Vegas + Time = Success!

[SPARTANA110]

@08Putte08 You told me you used After Effects! D:

[08Putte08]

@SPARTANA110 I used After Effects for the first time, I used it for about 2 days. And during those two days I used it for doing the lens flares.

[halofreak00k]

[Cypher157]

What is the song at the beginning?

[jaymac1able]

[fakeandgay45]

@Mr207terminator Then you should subscribe and like this video! :) (and part 2/2)

[MasterCheifXbox]

Epic!

[Cypher157]

What is the music at the beginning?

[Xij29y6]

Who's voice-acting for Isaac and Malcolm? And which one is Sheila?

[08Putte08]

@Xij29y6 Sheila is not appearing in this machinima. She's somewhere else on the planet, I guess. ;P

[HaloFan1719]

can i be in the next episode?

[08Putte08]

@HaloFan1719 Sure. Send me a message on xbox live. Finding my gamertag shouldn't be too hard.

[GamingNation29]

Dude great video! Looking foward of what you make next! Are you gonna make "The Baattle of Miridem 3? I know it say 2/2 but it would be great if it was 3! Anyway just want to say amazing job!  Keep it up!

[08Putte08]

@GamingNation29 This is Episode 1. It says Part 1/2 and 2/2 because Episode one is split into two parts, 15 minutes each part. So, obviously, the next episode will be 'Episode 2'.

I'm currently working on Episode 2, it too will probably be in two parts (or more if it's over 30 minutes in total).

[08Putte08]

@GamingNation29 You claim that this is a great video, but you haven't bothered to even click the like button.

Sad face. :(

[GaM3RN3RD1]

@08Putte08 ..How'd you get that cool animation at the beggning?

[08Putte08]

@GaM3RN3RD1 Be more specific, at what second? And what animation?

[SuperShakey24]

BEST HALO MACHINIMA!!! EVER!!!!

[PinkBumblebee21]

what does MIA mean?

[08Putte08]

@PinkBumblebee21 Missing in action, the fate of those SPARTANs will be revealed in the next episode.

[WintersFinalstand]

@08Putte08 a terricfic intro on this vid

[08Putte08]

@WintersFinalstand Do you mean "terrific" which means that it's fantastic? Or do you mean that the intro was bad?

[WintersFinalstand]

@08Putte08 no i meant well done had a strong air and was well put

[08Putte08]

@WintersFinalstand :)

[JonathonKuhlman]

Definitely one of the better Reach machinimas that I have seen, I'm excited to watch part 2.

[08Putte08]

@JonathonKuhlman Go and watch it then! :P

[JonathonKuhlman]

@08Putte08 I did! :p, I commented there too, seriously, I am not a little kid and I can be serious when I need to be, I would really like to help, with any sort of machinima.

[BlackOnyxProductions]

Amazing camera angles, voice acting was a little sketchy.

[08Putte08]

@BlackOnyxProductions Yes, sadly. I can't do everything on my own. Maybe in the distant future the director can do everything himself. :P

Finding voice actors for Halo isn't easy. :( They're hard to find.

[CryonicGaming]

i love how u made the odsts not like the spartans just like in the books not many people do that i so that makes it all the more better that u did it keep up the great work

[deadant09]

wow this is awsome

[spartan1080]

yo this is mah bruh armoredscarubs machinima! :D

[08Putte08]

@spartan1080 What?

[jaydogbro]

@08Putte08 how the hell did you make this?

[mrbigbacondude]

this guy was my friends friend Im ARMOREDSCARABS friend

[Zzwill3zZ]

Nice vid Putte

[MovieStudio620]

This was really well done and I love how you take advantage of Reach's campaign and stuff.

As already said, the voices were a bit lame at some parts but I understand it.

I liked your camera work except the ones shot from the 3rd person (at 10:01 for instance). That sorta reduced the cinematic feeling of this, made it seem like gameplay material for a while, sorry.

You're already doing great, if you manage to change a couple of things, it's going to be marvellous. Good jog guys.

[08Putte08]

@MovieStudio620 Aha... Ok. I'm planning on fixing some of the voices. Because even though this machinima might look great, if the voice acting is bad then the whole thing becomes bad. I'll try not to use 3rd person again. But, I think it would've been quite hard to record that scene if I hadn't had it in 3rd person there at 10:01. Sure, I could've done it in another way, but he was moving a lot. :P I've used the 3rd person camera at a lot of moving stuff, BUT, I'll try to use it less atleast. :)

[MovieStudio620]

@08Putte08 I don't think it would have been too hard, you did a lot of other stuff I would have found much harder. And I don't know if there is much sense in remaking the hole voice but if you do I suggest 'fixing' some of the scenes, too (if it's not too late).

You have the potential. Keep it up.

[08Putte08]

@MovieStudio620 It's easier to fix the voices than the scenes. Nope, I can't fix some of the scenes. They're all one right now. Fixing the voices goes quite fast. :P Just about a day or so after I've got in all voices I can fix it. But I'll do that later in the future, but expect those voices to appear in the next episode.

[Prime4L]

So professional.

[pstor2]

loved it but the first voice made me wanna kill myself then dislike the video, sorry.

[08Putte08]

@pstor2 That's just lame. You love it, but just because one voice is bad you're disliking the video? He can allways be replaced, and it's just strange that you dislike the vid because of him. It's quite hard finding voice actors who can voice good. I don't know how to explain it but look what I've done as a director of this machinima instead of giving it a thumbs down because of someone elses voice acting. I can agree the voice acting is bad, but don't blame it on the whole movie.

[pstor2]

@08Putte08 i see your point, liked

[08Putte08]

@pstor2 Hehe, thanks. But I'll still listen to what you said. It's actually good that you told me that you did dislike it. I'm going to upload this episode to machinima, because I'm becoming a machinima director very soon, and then I'm going to make sure the voices are good. (Probably replace them). And then add some extra stuff to the movie. But anyways. Thanks for the feedback, now I'm going to fix those damn voices. >:P

[sonicwarsX8]

How are Spartans freaks? They're kick ass!

[08Putte08]

@sonicwarsX8 They think they're freaks because they're trained since the age of 6 and stuff like that. You know, they're not normal atleast. :P

[sonicwarsX8]

@08Putte08 Oh I though it was because ofwhat they look like without their helmets on cuz in Halo 3 you can see chief's face.

[ULEASHED1996]

This was great, you REALLY deserve more views cause it looks like you put alot of effort into this.

[08Putte08]

@ULEASHED1996 It was just recently released, it will probably get some more views in the future.

[DreadJesterBatthink]

Pretty good!  I lent my voice to this video, I'm liking the camera angles and set pieces from the map. Moving onto part 2...

[iDarkRuler]

What the buttfuck.

[LOCOFORBTR]

munchkiin2001 was here and that me (spartan) at 1:48

[93Randomdude]

ODSTs are so badass great machinima!

[DarkfallXProductions]

How do you put a screen over the screen, like at 4:35

[08Putte08]

@DarkfallXProductions I don't know what you mean actually.

[DarkfallXProductions]

@08Putte08 Your recorded video is pasted over the screen, because that is obviously not what is normally there. How do you put the video onto the screen, like what editing program do you use for that and if you could, can you PM me instruction to do that.

[LordEmpirus]

Holy SHIT! HAWLY FACK! Dude, thats pretty much epic...

[ConnorImmonen]

"Let me just say, that I love your attention to detail. The sound of jet engines... your lens flares... all these little things that lend themselves towards a unique machinima.

Seriously, this feels really polished."

[XXVCobraVXX]

If anybody didn't like this they are probably retarded this is amazing your movies are just great.

[binglebeee]

I can see myself!!!!!! The ODST cpming out the door at 8:00

[gangman20]

how did you do 6:53

[08Putte08]

@gangman20 Masking. :|

[misterstarwars]

At one part the spartans call a brute chieftan a brute major and at13:55 they call it a brute chieftan.

[08Putte08]

@misterstarwars Nope they don't. Just because the brute got a hammer doesn't mean he's a chieftain. There's majors with hammers.

[hubbythefat]

@misterstarwars check out the helmet he dropped, its a gold major helmet not the elaborate cheiftan helmet

[misterstarwars]

7:15 I don't know what titanium-A is but normal titanium would not be able to stand that impact and "lead foil", you have to be jokeing.

[08Putte08]

@misterstarwars I took all that information from Halopedia.

[misterstarwars]

I have no idea how you did the 6:46 sence but for the pods to be able to turn at that speed and angle they would require a rediculas amount of thrust (which would prbably break even the spartan's back).

[misterstarwars]

5:20 what map was the armory on?

[misterstarwars]

Just as a side note, at 4:10 the spartans porbably would not have moved because they were very respectful to their supperiors.

[misterstarwars]

lol at 2:51 he should have just said "They might me freaks, but their fucking badass"

[l337fox118]

i sucked so badly in this omfg i need to step up my lines big time

[98cobban98]

he forgot to write my name in the credits my name is cobbwebytrege



[TheFlatypus]

that was sweet, creative use of effects too! The only thing that was a bit weird were all the optical flares. You should make them flicker a bit to make them look more realistic

[08Putte08]

@TheFlatypus First time I used them. (And after effects) :P I though I was just going to throw in a lot of them, for the sake of effects. I'll try to make them better next time, and use them less I guess.

[TheFlatypus]

@08Putte08 you did much better with them in part 2 though :)

[anden649]

keep up the good work! 

[Fairfieldfencer]

That was DAMN epic! Nice use of AIs and enviroment.
