Halo: Archetype Teaser Trailer

Halo Archetype is a non-profit, independent short film based on the Halo franchise.

Humanity is losing the war against the Covenant, an alien alliance that will do anything to fulfill The Great Journey. Originally meant to deal with the rebellion, the experimental Spartan project created by ONI becomes humanity's last hope and chance at survival. One lone soldier will be the first selected to receive the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor and become an archetype for the Spartans, if he can survive the invasion and war against the Covenant.


This teaser trailer was filmed by a crew of three in under four hours and with no budget. It was shot exclusively as a teaser so none of this footage will make it into the film. The film is an original story based on some events seen in the Halo lore and is currently in pre-production.

Maybe I should tell you that some of the visits you have been geting from yesterday come from Xbox users sent here by the official Colombian Xbox 360 site

@Guaseth Thanks for the heads up! I'll check it out.

Looks great but tiny critique, the opening shot could do with a little more depth, notice how the mountains fade into the distance, a touch of that on the ships/smoke could do it wonders.

[EnrisanFilms]

@bryanfaffers Thanks for the constructive criticism. I tried de-focusing the stuff in the background but I guess it wasn't enough. The shots could definitely use more work though. I taught myself After Effects while making this trailer, so this was my first attempt at compositing. I hope to get real compositors and VFX artists for the actual film.

@EnrisanFilms I wouldn't add blur, maybe a just some haze like the mountains have (but not as much at the ships are closer than the mountains.) As far os depth of field, your comp looks right, the camera is focused on the ships - they are in focus and the spartan in the foreground isn't. Such a wide angel lens as this shot is using would naturally have an extremely large depth of field where the ships and the mountains would be in focus nearly equally.

@ERIKCANTU Thanks for the tips! They're much appreciated.

Pretty sweet... DON'T let it go the way of HALO: Faith. I waited for that movie for a long time, and now it's never coming out. Those bastards.
