The Archaeus Saga: Unexpected S1E01 (Halo 3 Machinima)

[M4NONTHEMOON8]

when is seson 2 coming

[ninjacowboy]

When Red vs Blue gets serious.

[cloudskeer2423]

@ninjacowboy well they kinda are now but not as much as you think

[dinored11]

so many halo shows

[YugiohDuelistEkritan]

somthing i noticed was the rank structure for the military. he was supposed to be in the Army but Lance Corporals are in the Marine's. a little bit more research would have been good to add to the effect. just saying.

[PKBChaz]

@YugiohDuelistEkritan

ah but the wrod Army may not mean the branch, It just may be the group itself you know

[Mike0o77]

@leafcaliber ok when u typed LINES do u mean the lag between the faded red bar and the bright red bar when ur watching the videos or do u mean the voice acting?

[leafcaliber]

Only one bad thing about this, the delay between lines is pretty big

[ColonelHoraldo]

Oh jeez, listen to these guys. "Mmmmm, we're so badass, oh yeah..." Can you say trying too hard? Guess what I'm saying here is the dialogue was pretty cliché and silly, as was the voice acting.

Also, some of the editing could have used some work, for example: 2:59 "How are you feeling?" *10 second pause, someone walking downstairs* "I'm fine, thank you." Struck me as kinda odd.

The episode lacked structure, it was just random things happening. Overall it was just like a really bad action movie.

[MegaKain101]

i recongnize the music at the beginning of the vid

its in Time Splitter 2-arcade lvl.Training grounds

[joctup]

I am a proffesional machinima writer, and as of now, i am recruiting people who want are interested in being apart of a good series and maybe one of the most epic machinimas to date. If you are interested, contact me via Xbox Live MetallionST or YouTube

[1234piller]

@joctup can i help my gamertag is unit1 shadowops

[1234piller]

@joctup me me me 

[Trickyyyxx]

I'M A TROLL :D.

[killing555]

its funny because halo reach is better for machinama, but halo 3 has all the machinama maps.

[118SKILLER]

the annoying thing is that the mic make girls sound like high pitched annoying kids

[TheFourGuysVideo]

how do you stand down your gun without jumping like a twat?

[coolman717]

Aren't spartans supposed to be MIA?

[CarlOreally]

Good job ODST PS i met the director for this series last night xD

[Br0kenEnGliSh]

It's shot vary well. The music adds a depth to environment that makes it it's own. My only complaint I can't think of(it just maybe me) the characters a slightly bland and there not enough to draw me into them, It's defiantly better than a lot of what I have seen. Good Job guys!

[suckergettecity]

2:88 - WAIT? A GIRL!?

[CarlOreally]

@suckergettecity what never heard of a girl in halo??

[71tofu]

@CarlOreally i think he is saying "holy shit, first girl iv heard in halo"

[CarlOreally]

@71tofu yeaahhh i know im saying ""holy shit play more Halo with a mic on"" thing to him but thx for telling me though

[suckergettecity]

WHY IS IT LOADING SOOO SLOW!!!

[deathXdante]

beast

[TeamTurnover]

i just started machinima,so can someone give me some pointers and tips.

[n00bTEH2b]

why is isolation always the graveyard?

[TeamTurnover]

@n00bTEH2b cause of the fact, it has a ominous feature and better than avalanche or foundry.

[suckergettecity]

@n00bTEH2b Why do you think? :P

[DeAndrizzlefyed]

@n00bTEH2b It might always be the graveyard because the map itself is dead really I mean it was probably the worst Halo 3 map ever.

[jamesbyford1]

@n00bTEH2b lol thats all it ever meant to people. it was dead

[DarkWolfassassin]

@n00bTEH2b i realized that too wierd

[pglasch]

this is the best halo series EVER!

[unforgivabl30]

lol at 5:00 rest in peace... water jug

[michaelc166]

finnaly something that has Canada in it everything usally happens to america

[CeMDRAGONify]

its really good how they used water barells as tomb stones.

[tastytaffyvideos2]

i cant get past the 5:03 mark. it always stops there.

[FIN232]

@tastytaffyvideos2 mine stops at 0:15

[tastytaffyvideos2]

I think its a great film. the music the voices where the camera is...the only bad part is the video quality but i guess he cant help that.

[LandOfFruition]

k.i.a means : Killed In Action! For those who not knew, read this. then you know it! :P

if they say w.i.a that means wounded in action. But I only heared k.i.a.

[Aspirerx]

@LandOfFruition i heard m.i.a is missing in action

[hamburgersteo2k10]

Thumbs up if your sick of people telling you to thumbs up!

[ThelcecreamMan]

@hamburgersteo2k10 XD you fail

[MrDuzaman]

I think it would be a good idea to have boxes instead of graves.

[pwnmaster77]

im only like a minute in and the voice acting isnt that good its a bit cheesy the only one that isnt cheesy is the guy who seems to be the CO

[KiLlErCuB2424]

how they killed the army in k.i.a

[Titleification]

wow nice camera shakes!

[lkotof]

ODST armor FTW also great vid

[0arkthompson0]

They combined Halo 3 with Garry's Mod 10 (GMOD 10)

That makes me proud of this series. :]

[inWald]

@0arkthompson0 yeah and bf audio in the beginning

[Take0ffYaHoser]

WTF that was stupid

[TheGunmanship]

bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddddddd­ddddd  aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasss­sssssssssssssss

[deadeye826]

Machinima dident put a link for it o3o

[daheem2]

Who was the enemy I'm confused even after seeing the second chapter

[fractureplayr]

In War No One Is right,

There Is Only Those Who Are Left,

try and figure that out XD

[cubsfan286]

@fractureplayr what is 'right' his written by those who are left. War isn't right. It doesn't solve anything. Just causes death and loss.

[agentmeyham]

This vid is sickkkkk! Beyond reason

[Fettnachian4]

that was cool!

[GodenDrangonKing]

i saw a monguse at 4.26

[cbell4x4]

great vid!

[ZealousSangheili]

How come this video's views are so low? It's really good!

[spritbomb989]

@ZealousSangheili cause everyone's starting to hate machinima and there crappy commentary's

[ZealousSangheili]

@spritbomb989 - I see... But Arby 'n' the Chief gets tons of views.

[MrDuzaman]

@ZealousSangheili

Machinima posts so much crap that you have wade through to find good machinima. I just found this gem today.

[ZealousSangheili]

@MrDuzaman - Well, maybe I should post my own machinima on it... if it really is that bad. =)

[leafcaliber]

@ZealousSangheili Because people are so used to crappy halo machinimas people just skip them now, the poor good ones get skipped with them so awesome people dont get the credit they deserve...

[ShrapmaElite]

@ZealousSangheili Because so many people like me have JUST found out about this series... I watched the beginning of a later on episode and this series looks really interesting. I haven't watch a really good series in over a year, and I'm hoping this just as good, if not, better.

[ZealousSangheili]

@ShrapmaElite - There's always "Life of Logan..."

[sanddragonrain]

@ShrapmaElite I don't mean to bother, but if you like the Legend of Zelda series, you'd like "Zelda Unknown Origins"... It was left uncompleted, though.

[hImYnAMEiSkEVIN8]

This was an ok start but the character development wasn't quite there. I am guessing that that will be explored in future episodes?

[littleasian295]

i like the lighting lol

[Chipmunkool]

Not bad. The voice acting at the beginning began turning me off to this, but score and scenes that came later made me keep watching.

[TheSilentGaurdian]

at 5:00 the camera stopped but just for a sec

[ReDEyED194]

@TheSilentGaurdian at the point in time in which you made your account you spelt your name wrong...

[TheGameMaster00]

Can someone please tell me what the music used in this was.

[CraigKesicke]

This is an original score by yours truly

[RvBSarge1944]

No it isn't. It's made by this weird guy named Craig Kesicke. DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Deathriteproductions]

I emailed you regarding orchestrating music for me. And on your website.

[digitalhafez123]

The dude on 0:59 looks like dutch from halo 3 odst

[RvBSarge1944]

Yeah it does, I based his armor off of Dutch's armor because he is the heavy weapons guy in Scott's squad.

[BlackbirdMatt]

this was fucking boring

[CraigKesicke]

Ha!, Source engine Easy, god know. That's the engine I do my flicks in and it is the most grueling process, but I can't deny they look amazing when they are done.

[MusakMike]

lol worst graves ever

[JakyaStudios]

NO MAN! They were SO realistic, man!

Don't be hating on the REALISTIC GRAVES, MAN!

[halo2trickster]

Very good job. I liked it. Keep it up man:D

[snip3r82]

Excuse Google but why the fuck am I seeing ads before my videos?

[YourEveryDayJackAss]

woah....havent seen one of these kind of machinima in a while and it actually managed to be pretty great while being fully serious at the same time and not even a bit humorous at all!

[incompatiblesoftware]

Very good, I don't see too many serious machinimas. I especially like the music, it's really what kept me watching. That's how well it kept the mood.

[RvBSarge1944]

It will be available on itunes soon if you want to download it.

[CuteRaptor]

this was preaty good in the early stage but after that....

[NikSvetlik]

This is a really good quality Machinima. Not saying I like it, but it's really nicely put together. Not like most of the stuff Machinima uploads.

[EzekielRox30]

i dont get whats unexpected

[ClassyHatGuy]

It was... good.. the name doesn't make too much sense being it doesn't fit the plot. Was the Corporal's squad getting KIA'd the unexpected turn? Was losing the war unexpected? could you please explain this!

[RvBSarge1944]

I can't give it away because it will be a plot spoiler.

[ClassyHatGuy]

there's a little something on Halo 3 called Forge.

Heard of it? Where you can change minor things on the map that can actually impact the plot to a machinima. HELLO??

[RvBSarge1944]

Are you blind? I obviously used forge.

[OMGITSRACER]

I would put this machinima above the mediocre category, especially the way in which that you use adobe after effects, you are quite a talented machinimator, keep them coming buddy!

[SamHester88]

I bet in a future episode they are gonna have an Elite with a gay voice and a weird name.. Everyone does..

[ClassyHatGuy]

This is a drama, not a comedy.

[OMGITSRACER]

Really? Because it made me laugh.

[OMGITSRACER]

it's not like your elite character is going to be called Dave.

[RyanRMusic11]

Boring...... How does the title even fit with that? What was unexpected? The fact that all the soldiers died in war? Yea... really unexpected

[IAreCrazyChris]

more halo! no matter how good it is its just boring because I have seen the same thing 1000 times

[adam91094]

blue guy sorta sounds like sam fisher

[brando7654]

hey how do u make these vids?

what do u use to make em'?

[puddingboy116]

if you want to now how to make machinima then you should check out digitalph33rs guide to making halo 3 machinima

[ghostdude99]

time and money

[darksideofchris]

*yawn* BORING

[bohater0]

its not bad but better voice acters..they all sound the same.

[devinem24]

what you mean they all sound the same lol i dont think so at all and even if they did BETTER would not be the word it would be more but there was a different voice for every character so far lol

[acestarwolf]

that sucked....

[Aluxio]

that didnt suck!

[devinem24]

if it sucked then y dont you go make a better one? and if you cant make one then dont be saying sumthing sucks if you cant compete

[bbsloveme]

i liked it. looks pretty awesome.

[canadianDud02]

havent seen a good machinima in a while finally a good one

[ChedderMuncher]

a 7 min and 44 second trailer? lol

[duckyouall]

It's unexpected. x]

[Wesker109]

cool vid, even tho i don't like Halo much, but it was good, a bit too dramatic, but it was ok. but i do think theres too many Halo Machinima's, u need to start doin other vids like this but with different games, the Half-life ones are awesome indeed, i love them, but Halo ones theres too many, need more games & not just focus on Halo too much.

[Rocky390]

kinda tooooooo dramatic. but it was ok.

[punkzorr]

finally something decent

[xGamrJoshx]

Very Nice! Awesome voice actors.

[SquirrelAssauIt]

Okay, I am so sick of seeing these halo machinimas. Why not do a different game??!?! Like Red faction guerrila, or Conker Live and reloaded, fallout 3, anything but halo.

[ichigomino]

very true

[PaulB530]

well halo its so mutch easyer to do it with halo because of thetear and shuch :/

[lyoko111]

I am tired of them too.

BUT, some of the best machinimas like Arby 'n' the chief come from Halo.

[maks1122]

awesome!

[Darkfan117]

A spectacular display! This one series just might usher in a new age of halo machinimas!

[amalgamation25]

halo sucks

[spacerocks1234]

Finally someone who agrees lol

[k3nnyinab0x]

so corny >.>

[crazywhitekid26]

cool

[churchdudeman]

ah..shouldnt this be a chapter? lol

[jock0man]

gay

[breakthroughassault]

....sweet....

[thaikwon]

looks good and all but the fighting wasnt as dramatic as it should be

[RapidFireFilms1]

Angsty Stuudios is my... 1,2,3... Third Favorite group/Director

[gtfo338]

EPIC!

[Aiv4n]

Why dont someone just make a black hawk down halo machinima? it would be cool!!!!!

[AniVids]

Good camera angles, decent voice acting, some average puppeteer work, and an overall interesting war story. I'll give it another episode.

[msc204x]

Story sounds good, but oh god.. the voice acting.... the only voice in this that sounds natural is the sarges.... the rest is... un-natural....

[musicmac00]

fucking EPIC

[GurkBurkSWE]

drama is just nerdy... sorry...

[MadeinHell2]

Hmmm... I was expecting another comedy halo show. Not the "dramatic" one. But it seems to be made by the same guys that made the "retaliation" aka the best COD4 machinima.

So it has quite the potential.

[RvBSarge1944]

Actually, SgtPadrino didn't make it, read the credits. I just got one of their voice actors.

[MadeinHell2]

I know he didn't make it. But listen to the voice cast. Most of these guys were in the retaliation series. And this gives this one potential many other lack.

[RvBSarge1944]

Actually, one person was. He played Cpt. Forester.

[Kingerthely]

this looks good, but this doesn't seem like a teaser, more like a first episode

[waabawaba]

has lots of potential, but er it could use more ppl n more emotion in the voice.......either tat or u switch the voice actors with sum 1 who will sound gd whan watching this from youtube..........

[WesleyPwnsYou09]

nice vid but you did steal some ideas from digitalph33r.

[HoudiniMan87]

eh, all he used that digitalph33r used was the Isolation graveyard and the rain effect. and you gotta admit, Angsty Studios used both really good.

[wiiand360player]

that was unexpected

[ascvilla]

a 7 minute teaser?

[seauryakumar]

WTF is this shit.

quit making Halo trailers please man

shift to some other game dude.

[zpezza]

people make halo machinima cause its the best game to make it with because it has forge and the theater it makes it easy for directors to make a machinima

[seauryakumar]

dude you can make it on GTA IV PC also.

just for a change

i'd like to see that

[hanEatsPussy]

A 7 minute Halo machinima? Forget it. Quit doing Halo. Give us more Fallout!

[AndyGeekie]

quit the halo videos there shit now

[crippe1000]

A teaser thats almost 8 minutes long? Gtfo! ... but I still watched it. And it was good :d

[ViPeRaK47]

I think machinama is still doing great with the videos. But it's not there fault there only doing halo videos mostly. What other game has something like theater, Ok so C.O.D dose but C.O.D really is not that great for machinima's Its realy only good for montage's  If you dont beleave me that C.O.D is good for montag's check my videos out.

[SkidTheSamurai]

Agreed. No other game really has the setup for filming Machinima's yet. It's so much easier with Halo right now because of all the forge and recording features. Plus imagine a Machinima where the characters didn't wear helmets over their face. It looks pretty weird when your hearing a character talk, but their mouth isn't moving and their face isn't showing any expression. Hopefully future games can take this into consideration and fix it.

[bofen22]

GTA IV has one, Only for the pc version tho..

[ShinjioRawkz]

what do u mean by that?There's PC XBOX 360 or maybe PS3 for GTA IV

[bofen22]

Oh ye but there is a video editor for the pc version, for making machinimas. It's really good.

[Exarakon]

whats it called?

[Nware3]

ZOMG A ORIGINAL HALO MACHINIMA.... gtfo of my interwebs...

[trav2321]

i like it but why would they let ppl in a hospital with armed weapons

[SharrkyX]

Im getting SICK of halo machinima now ;/

[wokinstorm]

me 2

[Slowgt13]

they dont make teasers like this anymore

8 min long while now aday ones are less than 1min

[inouyejulio]

was that a teaser? its like a entire episode!

[benalator]

no cos you want to know what happens it teases you with a cliffhanger
