The Serenity of Halo

[FailHazard]

If i had a dollar for every pixel in this video, i would have one dollar.

[bmaxfett]

i find this ironic cause several people from firefly are in halo, mostly nathan fillion, but the guy that plays jayne is in it too a little bit, maybe others, idk

[chelle20056]

nothing like serinity

[TheDTYPsGames]

3:14 Nathans turn, and the camera zoom make it an awesome shot. Did you rewind that footage?

[MarnaxCBRM]

60 people became flood-reavers.

[MarnaxCBRM]

What is the name of the music at the very beginning?

[MarnaxCBRM]

Imagine how cool it would look, if instead of reavers, the Covenant's fleet came out of that huge cloud.

[Crabb90]

This is awesome! Long live Firefly! 

[jamesdarklord]

2:23 awsome part

[matobinder]

This is pretty cool. Halo, a late comer to good computer games, but was fun. music is spot on by the way, yes a bit different recording, but who cares.

Serenity,  probably one of the most anticipated-unanticipated movies of our time. I say those two .. participles.. in a single sentence for a reason.

[TheonlyShade96]

Seriosly how fucking dum can you get

[ChickenNoblets]

Alright, you took the two coolest sci-fi stories and made one hell of an epic win with them! At 2:31 i literally said "AWESOOOME!" and then at 2:37 i literally said "HELL YEAH!" ^_^; Amazing!

[MrWierdkid17]

that is the original halo theme if you played the first one they play it constantly

[jedimastersteven]

nice

[sleepingdudenate]

Maybe the devs thought the same thing as you, Xicris....the cast of Firefly voiced Halo 3: ODST.

[nrabcmam]

That film sucked hard times!!!!

[Exigoo]

What is the name of this movie?

[TheHellRaider]

WTF? Jayne isn't Johnson. If anything Wash would be Johnson and River would be Chief.

[CptainGarmaZabi]

this isnt halo?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?

[eddieimmortal]

LMFAO I'm a leaf in the wind!

[JediKnight941]

Its funny cuz mal is in halo 3

[Jshaw71]

no thanks, i like the original music used on the movie/t.v. show...

[ManningTrance]

Great mix man. Good work.

[HalomasterObi1177]

Loved that part of the actual movie, as shown at 2:30...That was so freaking BA

[RAZIEL1003]

what halo lolz .. jajaajaj

[Herekittykitty777]

great vid!

[joyboomsma]

nice video clip dude for the rest no comments do not know halo

[grimjester88]

That's the one that Nathan Fillion is voicing.

[Giirgiirgiiir]

The even more ironic thing is that Alan Tudyk, Adam Baldwin, and Nathan Fillion all voice some marines. Nathan is the marine that the brute is choking about 5 minutes into the first level, the one that says "kiss my ass". What's better is the trio also have very large voice parts in Halo 3: ODST. Nathan will be your Sergeant through the story!

[maddoins]

Serenity fucking rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xiphan]

This is Vai's song, isn't it?

[ZenOfEmotion]

kick ass combination.. good idea.. well done :)

[AKUJU]

what movie was this

[GhostRider0071701]

Serenity

the film of the short-lived (but the best ever) television series Firefly

[Illisius]

oh yeah. best movie ever.

[Illisius]

Um... serenity.

[springerjkreb]

Damn, nice.

[TitanSerenity42]

good editing, well done over all. I don't see how the sing goes with firefly, but it seemed to work pretty well.

[iAnKayla]

halo pwns

[MaMpfer80]

serenity got nothing to do with halo

[masterchief6565]

quit abusing this song

[drathshouse]

some one should abuse YOU. joss whedon is a figgin genius. Don't get me wrong a good shooter with a deceant story line but it's not exactly like we're comparing Star Ship Troopers the movie to the book. Halo and Serenity are both epic in scope and creativity.

[springerjkreb]

You're an idiot.

[HarbingerRomanus]

this was created two and a half years ago, it hadn't been abused by then(if even now).

[realcelestialphoenix]

my favorite line of this epic film will always be with me...

'things are about to get intresting'

'define intresting'

'oh my got we're all gonna die!!'

[HarbingerRomanus]

its "oh god oh god we're all gonna die?"

[realcelestialphoenix]

oh yeah!

thanks!

[FireHo57]

classic wash... I also like the bit at the beginning of the firefly series (i think) with the dinosaurs... lmao!

[skycaprobb]

iv read halo first strike and about to half way thoguh gotsts of onyx and btw this song is one of the best songs in the world mainly cus its done by a huge orcastra and won the best song contest when it came out

[Potatom12]

sweet 8 out of 10

[Hansolo60]

What's that move???

[Vaporizer2k]

Try reading the credits once. The movie's called 'Serenity'. It's actually a pretty darn good movie, you should see it.

[HaloGhostV8]

better yet, watch the 14 episode series and then the movie. And you will find a new hatred for fox, cause they were the ones that canceled the series.

[Vaporizer2k]

The series is called 'FireFly', am I correct? I have a friend who's a huge fan and is blackmailing me to see it he'll kill me lol! He had like half-hour monologues where he sweared and cursed at whoever canceled the series, you could almoast see the steam coming out of his ears xDDD I just gave him a couple DVDs to burn me some shit down and FireFly is among them ^^

[NEONBLADE1993]

wow that was actually not bad

[firedeval46]

NO halo and serenity do not go together. And if you listen closly its not the original Halo Theme

[Xicris]

Suit yourself

[Deathwyng]

I will, thanks.

[MightyNeonFraa]

Well, if you wanna be picky about it it's "Halo Theme - Mjolnir Mix"

Fan music videos = SERIOUS BUSINESS!

[robotminione]

no, no, no. They're FAR more important than that. Possibly even up to SRS BSNS!1!!!11! level.

[phantom12321]

@firedeval46 its the version they did for H2,

[No0bD3sTroYer]

@firedeval46 no its halo 2 theme

[MrTC90]

@firedeval46

Well duechebag, the guy pretty clearly stated it was the Halo two theme...

ie: Not the original.

Another Epic fail on the internet.. Just like every other asshole who keeps saying it's the not the right theme.

[bharned1]

Haha, this vid is awesome! Halo AND Firefly? Together? I think I'm in love. Honestly, there might be tears.

[kantlavar]

Interestingly enough, Halo: Recon, which is a new campaign for Halo 3, focuses on what appears to be a Special Ops Helljumper who will be voiced by none other than Nathan "Cap'n Tight-Pants" Fillion.

[TheMetalLordNazgu]

wow lol Halo and Serenity make a great couple!

[panther2552]

Best Simulatiry between the to to me is that Nathan 'Mal' Fillion plays a Character in Halo called Sgt Reynolds, which is basically Sgt Malcom Reynolds of Firefly. And Adam 'Jayne' Baldwin plays a character in Halo with a gun named Vera, his famous rifle from Firefly. Someone there's a major fan lol

[pwnage0013]

I know more about FIREFLY than I do of HALO, so I have no idea about your comparisons.

I too have found similar comparisons like how POINT BREAK & FAST and the FURIOUS was basically the same movie.

I loved your video though & the music.

[Green0410]

AWSOME!

[J0hn185]

what's the name of the soundtrack?

[ptfp111]

nice

[jezzafolife]

the makn ship they drive i noticed it in Battlestar Galactica in the first episode, it is flying in the sky on caprica

[panther2552]

it was an homage added in by the cgi company. they worked on firefly aswell.

[nemisisbeta]

damn this is fucking awesome XD

Now im a halo fan but after watching Serenity I bet that chick that flips out and kicks ass could dominate a whole ship infested with flood! no doubt!!

[jezzafolife]

you on about that wierd but ass kicking girl called River from the movie serenity? also from The adventures or Sarah conners

[captainkeri2468]

i agree with jwc7215 Serenity 2.

[halofighterhq]

stargate?? atlantis??

[harijaip]

eagle

[Darman364]

wheres chief

[Linryt]

wtf this has got nothing to do with halo i actualy saw this movie once lol wtf

[lecrazymonke]

halo human thecnology or serenitys human tecnology?

[mexico0106]

boooooooooooooo we want a real halo movie

[jwc7215]

no offense dude... but screw a halo movie... give me a serenity 2

[k1ingsteve]

Hmm, River in halo three. Well, I bet she'd give the Master Chief a run for his money. Good vit the music fits really well

[cubes1kle]

what was that short part with the cellos called in the beginning before the halo theme song starts? i kno its in the halo song somewhere i dont kno whats its called

[0mega7000]

Its from the Halo 3 Soundtrack its called ¨The Last Spartan¨

[ALIENxenomorph100]

Lol according to ur comparisons River is a marine! lol! :'D But its still a good vid music fits it great and ur right it does sorta fit it, sorta.

[Rawstr2]

soz i didnt answer back to ur comment but i peronally think that serenity is not a good choice for halo cause it has nothing to do with a war that all soz for my last comment

[panther2552]

Actually Serenity is very much about a war. Though I'm sure it's very different from Halo. If you want to know more about Serenity, go rent the Firefly series. It's what the movie is derived from.

[jasong19711]

go to the Urban Dictionary, look up the word "Halosexual"

[systemofadown1fan]

rofl!XD

[supersamonhalo]

music is good and video does too . But you gotta watch out the authroity problem..

[Coremann43]

Excellent editing! Very good between music and video. I'm a Halo fan and a Browncoat and I love this video. I also like the character comparisons you made.

PS. To bad there isn't a butt kicking female Spartan in Halo because that would TOTALLY be River Tam

[mdawgg13]

wow....this is actually really good...the editing is done really well, and your cuts in time with the beat show skill in vid making....well done.

[Gothemus]

Good job, very well done...editing, soundtrack, progression, all carefully carried out.

[TitusDrone]

Excellent vid! I love the editing, the progression through the movie, you've matched it with the music really well. Nice!!

[Kiba450]

nice video. fan of Firefly, Serenity, and Halo. have Halo/Firefly soundtracks, both awesome.

by the way, does anyone have a video or audio of Nathan/Alan/Adam doing the voices of their characters in Halo 3?

[realcelestialphoenix]

sweet vid man

loved the music

loved the film

[lildamian1994]

In halo three some of the sergeants voices are done bye Jayne(Adam baldwin) Mal (Nathan fillin) and lastly Wash (alan Tudyk)

[Dellingerstudios]

also Zoe aparently

[Overlord484]

I checked the credits, Gina Torres was not listed under Halo 2 or Halo 3 as a voice actor for Marines, and she is not Cortana or Foehammer. (Jen Taylor and Tawnya Pettiford-Wates respectively).

[Kelmourne]

Also Wash could resemble the pelican pilot from halo 1 who dies at the end of the last mission.

[hedggie11111]

that pilot was a girl, i think

[Kelmourne]

I'd think river is more like cortana from halo 3, all messed up in the head. But ya, the comparasign is weak. Although the music fits nicely.

[LiLs2v]

nothin better than your favorite move to the music of one of you favorite video games... 5 stars all the way and the work wasnt too bad

[GruntLogic]

*is speechless*

[Industriajor]

halo stuff can't be mixed with ANYTHING this video will me very gay when halo comes out like a movie

[Drumerguy7]

Props for creating a video with the action of Serenity and the music of Halo. However, a little ironic that the video was based on the principle of the similarity between the two plots of Halo and Serenity, yet you completely ignored the richness of either of their plots. While unavoidable in a video of this format, it is disappointing nonetheless.

[Xicris]

It was just kinda meant to showcase the awesome :) Plus, I'm not a huge Halo buff, I just thought it'd be an excellent piece of music with Serenity, and I thought there were parallels between characters. I wasn't even thinking about plot, but now that you mention it, I do notice the similarities.

[Drumerguy7]

While there are similarities to the stories of each (sci-fi genre, each about a leader of a platoon (or larger) that died, looking for purpose in shattered remnants of life, enigmatic interstellar war as a story backdrop) plot is more of a umbrella term for characters, story, approach, diction, etc. While the plot vs. story definition falls into gray area of understanding and interpretation (my fault) my comments could easily replace plot with characters.

[Industriajor]

nice timing anyway try with halo scenes

[Xicris]

I don't HAVE halo footage so I'm doing the best I can. You're obviously not a fan of Serenity either or you'd understand what I was doing.

[YFish42]

Awesome, fantastic timing, very action-packed. I think you should add to your list of comparisons "River = the cheat code that kicks every ass in the game." :)

[Daenene]

pretty good

[AnimeAndHaloDOMix]

This is nice. Especially considering Wash, Mal, and Jayne are all Halo 3 Marines. X3 My favorite Marines, in fact, and I work to protect them at all possible times.

It's funny to see the whiny fanboys attacking the whiny Browncoats. I love both of them, and this mixture is pure pwn. Nice vid.

[Xicris]

Thank you for saying that last part out loud :)

And I'm glad you enjoyed my vid.

[Rawstr2]

this is not halo u bitch

[Xicris]

It's the Halo music combined with a movie. Read the info and you'd have known that.

[AnimeAndHaloDOMix]

No shit. Figured that all out by yourself, did you?

[LanceGardner]

Serenity characters are soooooo much deeper than Halo nice vid though

[labartic]

Serenity is nothing compared to Halo.

[GGNDBOY]

Two great tastes, that taste great together.

[SuperBob50]

nice

[Thevideowatcher100]

The Reavers fit the Flood role, good video.

[evbunke2]

that was a good video, but it just dosnet work to try to asscoiciate characters from halo into firefly/serenity. everyone in serenity has a unique role, and it does not do them justice to callify them as lowly marines.

halo + serenity = bad

halo music + serenity = good

[billmeisterrr]

wash dies in the end NOOOO!!!!

but i love his line, 'oh god oh god were all gonna die'

[Kelmourne]

Halo and serenity are both great but they do not mix very well, sry. Oh and btw, mal jayne and wash are all voices for marines in halo 3 and jaynes marine is heard saying have a taste of vera, his gun from the firefly T.V. show.

[hoppermantis]

The Serenity of Battle  on youtube melded quite nicly...

[hoppermantis]

look it up

[RoboTheHoobo]

serenity is like halo but with no aliens, the closest serenity has is the weird savage reaver human people.

[ULGURIOSA]

@Skycrop: The song he used was the menumusic of the game "halo" by bungis software.

[evbunke2]

no, that was actually the remix, the menu had a different version.

[Mathenarus]

Man can Wash fly or what?

[Juglinggeeseisacrime]

I think wat u have done is great, i love halo and firefly so combining it is pure geniuse. and i see how the plot is similar and charactars roles

[skycaprob]

where did u get the song ???

[Shrike2101]

The video was from Serenity. The music was from Halo

[icemanLE]

shiny

[jadeleopard]

That was pretty nifty.

[skate4life1221]

i wish some one would make a video whith all of the halo movie clips piled in to one big movie

[Hopeflame06]

i wish someone would post a vid of the space battle with reavers v alliance thatd be so cool ^_^

[TheTotinator]

someone did...

[mustangjustice]

Well done. I'm a HUGE Firefly/Serenity fan. And I love the Halo games.

[Sinkinrubberduck]

I'm The same but i love Firefly more than words can desdcribe and think halo is a damn good game cant wait to get halo 3

[underdogphoto]

Nice job!

[RichDoe]

It definitely fits the music, but I don't really get what you are going for.

[LuckyNumber11]

Its also like Halo in its epic-ness.

[BrianLeexx]

actually according the 4th book there are more spartans

[Lives2Die]

i dont get it??

[91HEG]

That was too cool!!! Very well done!!

[darthmul2]

ok what movie is this and what is serenaty o and if john aka ms aka spartian 117 is like jesus then all 32 are

[Xicris]

This movie is called "Serenity" and it is based on the short-lived TV show "Firefly." As to the rest of your sentence here, I can't understand what you're talking about.

[darthmul2]

ok there are 32 spartians some people say john, the master chief, or spartian 117 is like jesus then all 32 are and master chif is not the smartiest strongest fastest but he is lucky

[gruntparty117]

anyone think that Miranda Keys is hot?

[Dukeofpie]

it's okay

[gardenerknight]

Good video, solid use of subject material. Could have used a few more cuts- but hey, anybody that combined the awesome Firefly universe and the awesome Halo universe in some manner gets at LEAST 4/5 from me!

p.s. In Amber Clad = excellent credits song

[pentegon40]

RIP Wash, the funniest big damn hero in the 'Verse....

Joss:"Yes, yes this is a fertile land and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land and call it.... This Land"

Fox:"I think we should call it your grave! NOW DIE!"

Joss:"Ah! curse your sudden, but inevitable betrayal!"

Fox:"HAHAHA! Mine is an evil laugh! NOW DIE!" *eats joss*

Joss:"AH! NO GOD! OH DEAR GOD!"

And so ends the greatest show ever. WE WILL RISE AGAIN!

[HeartlessGorre]

the forerunners didnt just study the flood, they were at full-scale war with the flood, helpless to save their race, they made the 7 halos; massive structures which can destroy 3 galaxies(kinda like a neutron bomb on a larger scale)they used it as "plan B" to save the rest of the universe after they tricked the flood into being locked up in the rings. the forrunners made an oracle for each ring should a breakout occur. millions of years later, the covies let em out.

[FlankTank]

No no no, you got it all wrong, the ForeRunners were a scientific race, but were slowly becoming extinct. They tried to create a way to become immortal. Unfortuantly, they succeeded, I do not know what went wrong, but the Flood was created. After exhausting every strategic effort, the ForeRunners activated the rings. You know the results... And as for destroying the galaxy? No, it only eliminates the Floods food or Sentient Life as you may call it.

[Mac289]

You got it right.They were scientific.I thjought they were created through a radioactive mishap though....Kinda like the accidental discovery of microwaves....The flood never die, but do spread.they are kinda like the borg if you think about it. They assimilate other biengs into thier collective...Only the flood are a lo0t dumber than the Borg.

[gargantuan676]

if you know this much about 2 games (very soon to be 3) then you dont know the meaning of life, kinda like me

[Mac289]

Yup, Yup, can't argue with that...:)

[cropathfinder]

the forerunners became the flood but some of them were able to activate halos across the universe and kill all life but thay left the arks (read the bible thing are weary simmilar) to repopulate the universe

[firedjay]

Basically it's Noarh's Ark

[cropathfinder]

yes bungie took a lot of religius simboils wich means MC might be like Jesus

[firedjay]

Lol, he can cure the blind!

or make Elites blind by ripping out their eyes!

[cropathfinder]

and the arbiter can be like antichrist, i know the flood reprisents the four horsmen of the apoc ,MC is praticly a deus ex machina but he will probbly die in the last game halo3 and im opposed to that(the last game and the death of MC

[Xicris]

heh. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this week's discussion of Halo Theory.

[R0alley]

Like it, and it does fit

[Praetorian308]

badass

[Mac289]

Hey,this is actually close to halo....Flood....Reavers...The­y are both monsters...only the alliance created the reavers,and the forruners created the flood.Close enough,Right?

[Xicris]

Pretty much. The forrunners didn't really CREATE the flood, just decided to contain it and study it (for some crazy reason)

[Mac289]

But didn't the forruners create them through some twisted radioactive exposure experiment?(Halo Talk,not intended for grunts,elites,buggers,jackals,­prophets,or brutes)I heard they were created in an accident,so thats why they made halo.Too kill everything so the flood couldn't feed on anything.Killing yourself to kill your enemy....Ironic,isn't it?

[Vaporizer2k]

You just made me wanna read some Halo literature despite the fact that I never actually played the game. Nice!

[katdante]

great pairing of music and images, the last bit of music when Mal sends the signal I got chills. Wonderful Bravo

[moxieanna]

ok I'll check it out

thanks

[mkii999999999]

happiness in pants

[yfzrider13]

never seen it but it looks cool!

[moxieanna]

it was good I liked it but I've never seen serenity

Best movie of all time! You have to see it! That goes for all. Im thinking of popping it in my DVD player right now, actually. My favorite movie of all time!

Oh, and good vid, too. haha
