Borealis (Halo 3 Machinima)

[0sheldm]

having gone through basic, I have never seen such a nice instructor

[MultiMrblade]

This was a really true and wise Machinima.If anyone dislikes the Machinima,it means he is just a idiot.How would you dislike this?The Borealis has seen many things before us.It has seen alot of rampage,dismemberments,sufferi­ng,and alot more.It is really stupid that people search for action Machinimas.It means they don't want peace.And it means they don't like these wise and thoughtful Machinimas.This Machinima even changed my mind.Fuck all those hate it.

[lambopickle12]

Gabriel's voice was very soothing and it made his character seem like even more of an angel

[Thespartan022]

This was thoughtful, and entirely true. Not many people lie awake at night wondering about this stuff, but I do sometimes. There are hilarious machinimas, dramatic machinimas, action machinimas, and this. The borealis has seen many lives, deaths, murders, secrets, betrayals, cataclysmic events and wars. It was here before us, and will be long after us. Makes you think.

[lordpeg96]

This is a really thoughtful and interesting machinima. It was obviously put together with thought and intelligence. It shows that you can achieve a great and interesting piece, without all the pointless fighting and generic characters found in machinimas like Rage.

Well done.

[SultenZone]

I know theres alot of meaning in this machinima, but WTF.

This machinima seemed....kinda....gay.

[CoDPhenoms]

@sauske119 yes i also noticed this good catch :)

[Randomtalking1000]

Can someone get me a list of the songs used in the video. I know they're from the Halo 3 odst soundtrack but I want the specific songs. It would be greatly appreciated.

[TaZzL3R]

Make love to me Candidate, uhhhh I mean....

look at the thing in the sky????

[locobeanz79]

@sauske119 I caught it, I thought that this video sent a great message! Like what you said.

[9litch3s]

Don't you just friking hate it when people dislike a Machinima with meaning, if they wasn't pissed off on that day then they shouldn't be allowed to watch any thing with meaning again >.>

[ManifestMiasma]

It's nice to see young minds think of more than the present. The video was really well put together, and the message is one which isn't prevalent in modern society. I wonder how much people wake up and actually wonder what their legacy will be, what they will leave behind, or what the value of their actions are. This is a cool medium to ask these questions.

[TheGlitcher77]

Beautiful.

[EpicEct]

wow..that was pretty....epic

[doezerx]

are we in some Metal Gear Halo thing ?

[SuperAfroman2]

This Deserves way more views :(

Machinima please re post this or something feature it do something

GET IT SEEN!

[devoutathiest]

That was beautiful. Interesting way of putting it all, does the borealis represent God?

[GamerRob1]

@devoutathiest No borealis are those lights in the sky. They most commonly seen near the north and south pole because of the creeses in the magnetic field, and energy from the sun getting through those creeses. Which makes that green light.

[NobleProtocol]

@GamerRob1 Some People say that it is a representation of God, the Gate To Heaven, etc I love God, but I am not a Church Guy :) But I completly believe in Life After Death.

[GamerRob1]

@NobleProtocol Hehe, yeah. That may be... BTW im the director of this machinima :P Look in the description and look at the directors XD

[NobleProtocol]

@GamerRob1 Sorry dude I had no Idea... :( Dun be mad....

[GamerRob1]

@NobleProtocol Oh no no no lol you dont need to be sorry, just wanted you to know. I respect others who have their own beliefs.

[NobleProtocol]

@GamerRob1 Oh cool :) and thanks for not being mad the last director I stated my opinion to got so pissed so I am being cautious

[GamerRob1]

@NobleProtocol Lol yeah, a lot of directors and such at machinima com are imature unfortunately. They arent too nice of people. Oh, and please do check out my series "Limited Cognition". The first episode is out, and Episode 2 is being composed. thats my main series. And subscribing would be awesome! :D

[NobleProtocol]

@GamerRob1 can you uh give me some advice on machinima PM me for my MSN k I could really use it

[NobleProtocol]

@NobleProtocol I Hope its not asking for to much I have been trying to make a machinima for years and could not Nail one please give me some advice

[GamerRob1]

@NobleProtocol When I get the time, right now im extremely busy..

[devoutathiest]

@GamerRob1 i know what the borealis really is, but i think it represents something more

[NobleProtocol]

Start at 0:26

[thedanny1723]

i like odst music

[sophdotx]

I wish i could just give you a £100.000.000.000 pound for macking this

[TheDoctorGSP]

That was so profound.

[portalmasterx7]

.... i miss the old machinima.... with videos like these...

[TinnedWaffles]

Excellent choice in music.

[MrNosrebor]

wow.... an amazing way to use a game as a tool to project a deep, meaningful thought to the viewers. I want more of these up!

[msgtfrank]

Amazing simply amazing!

[PsiTerrorPrime]

wonderful... absolutely..!

[Namealwaysinuse]

wow... that was just amazing. this is real machinima. it doesn't need action or kiddies crying around, sometimes, peae does it better...

[jamesito20]

this is deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepp

[jamesito20]

is this like a half life and halo 3 mix?? Cuz borealis is in half life

[Masteradam13]

@jamesito20 Borealis is the name for "Northern Lights" in some aspects.

[B1itZKr3iGC4]

its philosophy with a religious twist to me its propaganda or advertisement not religious thaty died in me a long time ago

[B1itZKr3iGC4]

its religious to me it pushes a view i dont believe in times change my preacher sad that in 2012 if the apocalypse comes believing in his god will save me from helll to me its a fear tactic to invoke believers if the very thing u thought was a lie how would u feel by this message

[TeamTurnover]

@sauske119 gabriel is one of the messengers of god, for example matthew is another.

[theJacobo250]

Touchy

[superhi1234567]

when the sergeant dude came back he had different shoulders

[cesarcc2811]

NICE MACHINIMA, this is why i still admired some peoples thinking! Best Machinima EEEVEEERR!!!! ;D

[ruzzzler]

@sauske119 im not too sure about that when i heard his name i was thinking about Gabrila the angle as well but i believe he was talking about evolution earlier. too bad it be a good plot line.

[Bzerker01]

It urks me, maybe because its kind of a slow start or maybe its the writing being overly formal or maybe its the voice acting being so forced.

[JayPin9]

that is so deep

[SweetSereneScene]

this moves people and the odst music was a perfect mix it set just the right mood for this video

[900ninetails]

about to make me cry a little

[AWESOMENESSCAKES]

lawlolawl

[laladilky]

perfect machinima

[GemiStr]

Seemed a bit overly dramatic, but I still liked it.

[AccelerationPictures]

Nice dude!

[weirdude567]

thats deep man!

[RoFlMaOpMsLbBq]

Gabrial the archangle (messenger of god) waking master chiefs spirit inside the candidate is really master chief at his first ;D

[commoe]

the end sounded like a perfume comercial

[xVortigauntx]

Pretty sweet video... Nice Cinematography job, Random :P

[Randomjack32]

@xVortigauntx: Thanks, It's kind of nice to finally get a comment toward that.

[SuperHalofreak123]

Man this video really made me think about life who ever made this was a genus. I don't know any one else who can move you in such an epic way

[spartand001]

28 people cried while watching and accidental press dislike

[Wingsong5555]

Whoa. This is definitely one of the most moving Machinimas I've ever seen!

[bobbib369]

aaaaaaaa am i gana be the one to ask what the Borealis is

plz reply if u no

[GamerRob1]

@bobbib369 Borealis is the lights in the sky. Usually near the north pole or south pole or something.

[SgtdawnFTW9000]

Wow..... thats deep......

[XxbadgerpawxX]

Who ever is making these vid need to make more.

[killerZred]

Nice use of the ODST soundtrack!

Amazing machinima...

[MrMacFreek]

Why aren't you playing Reach!!!!!!!

[imascatmanworld]

damn half life 2 is awsome and so is halo 3

[EuphorianFilmers]

@sauske119 Smart. very smart....

[SuperAfroman2]

This is real machinima,

with meaning.

[skatefreak162]

@SuperAfroman2 dude yeah.

[isokessu]

@SuperAfroman2 Yeah but the stupid thing is that in Halo machinima's everybody has a helmet, so you don't even see them talking. Ö_ö

[EmpoleonFans]

i like it!its a beautyfull message!Thank You !

[nerdtvch5]

epic



[guitarnirvana13]

wow...agent washington sure can be deep sometimes.

[HemisphereCinema]

@guitarnirvana13 haha good one

[DanarchistLife]

Wow, this is the first Machinima that I've seen that wasn't funny but still very good. Great job! I know its hard trying to create certain moods only using a digital video game scenery but you guys still managed to pull it off well. Bravo!

[slknvgdf]

euphoreanfilms has one of the most stupid movies/films!!!!

[FireKnife360]

@Omegarawr1

Which the ship is named after and also located near.

[FireKnife360]

@Omegarawr1

I'm pretty sure it was called borealis because

they were talking about the Aurora Borealis or 'Northern Lights' in the machinima.

[iBorderBum]

Sgt. Gabriel was probably a hologram,like they use in halo reach.

[Omegarawr1]

Borealis? Love the HL2 refrence m3n!

[AdamGCurtis]

Fantastic scriptwork :)

[Klimessss]

Oh. My. God

[MoonIMover]

I find it hilarious that this video is under Category: Comedy.

[Andiceses]

Great words~!

[kix2P]

i thought people stopped playing halo in 1995

[MoonIMover]

@kix2P Halo came out in 2001....

[MrViNBerg]

@kix2P i thought people stopped trolling in -12435783453486534856

[FaceSTAB411]

Beutiful!

[godzillr]

Ive Written Machinimas For two years, When i Get a Capture Card Stuff like this Comes about.

[dammthedude]

wtf did I just watch? :S

[chaosshark248]

Wow this flowed so well... good job daeman, rob did a very good job directing this

[eddie3078]

ahh arora borealis aka the northen lights

very clever and meaningful Machinima

[randn2010]

Damn it, you're machinima's are always so awesomme and meaningful...

[badboy2o0o0o]

that was epic. It was so touching. the ODST music was a beautiful touch and made me feel the candidate's loneliness.

[MetalShadowChaos]

This could be a basis for an absolutely fantastic halo movie!! Please heavily consider making a full length version.

[Hobbittio]

@MetalShadowChaos

a full lenght talk movie about morals?

LOL, the only epic thing about that would be the people who would endure watching it.

[MetalShadowChaos]

@Hobbittio of course it would have to have shooting in it and stuff. it would be more about how this ghost dude died and why hes here now. maybe a few epic fight scenes and an all out warzone thing in there somewhere.

[L337MasterXD]

D: ghost! KILL IT KILL IT! If they really are magnetic energy that plasma pistol might be able to disorientate the movements long enough for you to escape.

[djdilstar]

Whoa SHIT that was some good stuff i gotta say i really liked this The ODST music was a great touch

[Lolsocialism]

Aaaaaaaalll the way through I thought something random and funny was going to happen, all the while I was touched by the video itself, and even though I had a minor letdown on the ending this was truely a masterpiece, one of a kind.

[Cryer24597]

The Borealis is the boat trapped in the ice in Half Life 2

[MikaelDryden]

@Cryer24597 its also the northern lights

[yersimapestis]

@MikaelDryden actually it means light. for instance borealis australis is the southern lights. (I dont know what the nothern name is)

[lilwilll619]

Wow that was awesome. The ODST music is haunting me please hire the writer of this to make more videos!

[kaisenji]

Whoa. Only the second Halo machinima I've ever seen that was good quality, well thought out and left me thinking. Good job, EF. BTW, Tori Kamal needs to think about doing additional voice work as he has a good voice for audio readings and the like.

[abridged64]

ODST music was a nice touch

[LewizX90]

Sargeant Gabriel lol

[Stouf711]

interesting

[goofyfree]

why would he be thinking out loud, nuh uh this is bad

[wadad17]

I dont think i can take this seriously after the Forge 2,0 video that came out the same day, that video was so damn funny. But yeah, i guess this was good, i knew it would end with Gabrieal not being real, they have tons of different versoins of this story, so if thats what this was trying to do, was tell that story then it did a good job. If it did it by acciedent, im not surprised. Its a simple story that can be changed around but have the same meaing. Good job either way.

[xXgoodvibesXx]

Is that final fantasy music in the background i hear? o.O

[COLOSSUS1228]

Absolutely amazing great job, a machinima vid that actually made me think.

[jaminzol22]

That was deep.

[dragonkingmecch3]

so awsome it makes u think GOOD JOB GUYS

[gsp008]

that was cool

[SuperGreenGuy]

this was awsome

[tommymorales14]

this may sound weired and i dont know why but i keep thinking that this should be in a KH game or some thing i dont know why not the machinima but the spech and shit

[zhaoify]

Love that ODST music on 4:50

[SuperGreenGuy]

@zhaoify that's one of my favorites too. I also like deference for darkness, 1:10

[SuperGreenGuy]

@zhaoify that's one of my favorites too. I also like deference for darkness, 1:10

[WMan37]

Wow, That was amazing. I had almost gotten used to shitty, random, comedic machinima, because thats pretty much all that has been put on machinima for a long time. But this, Is a refreshing new direction. Btw, I cant remember, Isnt there an angel named Gabriel? I forgot where i heard that.

[CL1M4XProductions]

Shame on you people for disliking this shame on you

[EpicPenguinn]

Great plot. But I think you should've gotten a better voice actor for the character in the opening scene. Aside from that, It was amazing.

[thebeastpilot]

;")

[ryuhiabusa3]

at the beginning 4 minutes i was like WTF this makes no sense then that other guy showed up and then i was like well he was just their didnt you see him then i see hes a ghost and i go take a shit

[sabertoothray]

that was some deep shit..

[xxDeathNitemarexx]

I have an imaginary beaner too

[thecoolman21]

wtf halo reach is out get off halo 3

[ryuhiabusa3]

@thecoolman21 i thought the servers werent up yet so they cant realy do anything insteresting and they need to look at every level and earn i guess certian things that they want in halo reach so lets just wait

[diglett3]

0:01

[snowmanninja2]

Wow, nice

[Randomjack32]

Well done, although i wouldnt have minded being credited in the opening

[spacemonster505]

really good thanx

[Elitheninja007]

He can see dead people...

[spritbomb989]

This really makes ya think about the twisted and beautiful stuff in life

[jos3r5]

Beautiful....

[wookiechieftain573]

Very well done! There arn't many machinimas that ever reach this level of depth.

[zombiekilller]

Bravo! Deep meaning!! Good Job machinima!!

[Keltarian]

Seriously deep shit to ponder

[chuckleman83]

Lol when I saw the title I thought it would have something to do with the Borealis ship in Half-Life 2 in Halo 3. Good video though

[narutodkt]

wooooo nice vid dudes

[Kingpuppet526]

Are they gonna kiss or what....

[DanIsAllied]

The well written script kept me entertained +LIKE

[mrjpvoid]

respect

[seag0d123]

The guy who did Sgt. Gabriel had a very nice voice.

[InvaderZimus]

so it settles it. if the angel Gabriel tells us that we evolved from sea creatures i guess its true

[TechCloud15]

mmmmm.... impresive better then some of the Machinima's I've seen.

[DGenerationX4life]

AWESOME

[delivrex]

RESPECT

[CRYPTORK]

Great work, keep it up; unorthodox but authentic "peace" conveying a positive message portraying morality using the same medium of machinima for a thought provoking refreshing take on humanity.

I sincerely thankyou for NOT promoting ignorance ie, "lol" to gain popularity!

[Ohiostesttubebaby]

SGT Gabriel, Angel Gabriel maybe?

[bobmar1y]

That was amazing, great Machinima.

[ZightGeist]

Dude... I got chills haha

[apsuenbwyfer11]

aurora borealis is the NORTHERN lights, and the SOUTHERN lights are aurora australis, named after australia. not sure what borealis is named after...

[smishmaster]

...wow...

[IDaVinciGaming]

I liked it alot, but the brown SPARTAN's voice acting.. Was kinda "blah" ):

[tomjodoin]

Well done.

[TehAxg]

... I thought this would be about the Borealis Ship from Half-Life. But i think this is better

[Stradic0]

This was a very emotional video that gets you thinking so congrats on the director for achieving that plus i would like to stat that sergeant Gabriel (Tori Kamal) has such a awesome voice

[RONALFEO]

This reminds me of an anime. SO FREAKIN COOL!

[jackofficus]

Gabriel, Gods main man angle atleast in the bible dono if i get to heaven and he tells me actually his name is bob we told mosas that as a joke haha...angle humor :D
