I don't think any of you quite understand what really goes into making a good cinematic..

Aprntly youve never seen our animations now have you?

none of you have. so why judge before you even see it.

That's exactly why people are judging. If you haven't shown off anything you've done before, people will generally assume the worst, until you prove them otherwise.

I've got like $20-something on me at the moment, anyone wanna pitch in to help me invest in a motion capture studio?

Lol! Good luck on that one. I assume you are saying motion capture studio by which you mean sensors and all that shiz.

only 480 dollars more to go!

fail. It costs thousands of dollars. You guys are really idiots. You dont show your work but think you guys are so good but with no proof. Geez, So far most replies on this thread are negative, For a good reason.

EDIT:
You guys are just making people pissed off because you cant achive anything right now, and its a waste of time trying to convince you guys that this project is a horrible decision, and also if you guys are going to make movie with ripped bipeds from halo 3 or any halo game that isnt intended for ripping will get you guys sued. No joke, If you dont get permission to legally release footage of something that does not belong to you, You will get sued, especially with big companies. M$ gun pwn u guys... think carefully, because from whats been heard so far... You guys arent.

Meet me at burger king, and buy me a number 2 :D

Why don't you show us some animations then? You keep saying that we don't know crap about the animations, and people are going to assume the worst until you show us some of your work.

well considering you've never shown them, I'm guessing there not great. second of all, there's more to cinematics then just animations then just animations. i've made plent of cinematics are there's alot more to it then making animations look good.

gtfo buy yourself

You're the one with 20 bucks, and you live closer to BK than I do >>

Though animations are the main part of each cinematic, the ambient environment is also extremely important. What's the point of filming a large, action packed cinematic in an environment that doesn't fit / is extremely bland?

The whole set is 5,000

but one camera is 500.

and heres a little Animation that Some of our people Can Do. http://www.xfire.com/video/28e221/

So jesus Christ Shade calm down!

if you dont like it. Geuss what dont post. you mustve sucked in Elementry cause aprntly you never followed the Golden Rule: if you dont have anything good to say dont say anything.

i wouldnt mind it if it was some harsh credit. but your just trashing and trolling.

Yes, it's nice people can look up and down with custom animations in halo -_- To be honest, I didn't see anything so special about your animations. Many of those animations looked like bungie's default animation. All I saw that was custom was that people were looking around. Also, 0:20 was a failed attempt of getting out of a warthog, if that was even a custom animation. Also, the warthog's wheels were moving around like crazy and looked "high".

The Hog is hevialy Damged. thats why. the Axel is torn up so the wheels are moving around.

Haters gonna hate

That looks pretty good nice job and thanks for showing some work. If there is anything you need done Victory Mapping Team will back you up. Just send me a message on here or if im on xfire(rare)
Edited by vmt on Apr 24, 2010 at 05:34 PM

No offense, But looking around isnt something to be so proud about, I can do 3rdp animations... But just moving a head really slow doesnt show that your good. Me ive animated lots of things, H2 drone anims of which i dont know whats happened to them after i gave them away, And also a few death animations for the h1 cyborg. Ive made plenty more but arent complete. You guys really gotta learn not give an audience high expectations when you know it should be so little. But atleast im glad you guys actually showed your work. Keep it up, just keepon posting videos of your work for Critism, Youll need it.

No offence but that looks horrible. Did you even plan out your cinematic at all? You just seemed like you through it all together in a matter of minutes with crappy animations.. lol

LOOOL true, I bet it was only made just to show, just to keep people occupied, well it didnt. Animations need choreography.Which yours didnt.

Shade if your so good why don't you post something? it sounds like your pretty cocky.

Heck you guys are so negative about this. We want to do it. Whats so wrong with wanting to do something? I'm sorry but I live in a Free Country so Shade you can post all you want. Were working on it right now and your little troll comments aren't going to stop us.

You're a BK, you know that?

On-topic:
Also, while Dratt's anims aren't too shabby for a cutscene, they would not be the type of material you'd expect to see in a Full-Length Cinematic Movie. If the entire movie looked like that, I probably wouldn't want to watch it... You guys are kind of overhyping this, setting the expectations too high...
Edited by doompig444 on Apr 24, 2010 at 09:22 PM

The problem is, since the title of the thread was "Halo Cinematic Mapping Team", one could easily assume that the point of the video was to show off the entire cinematic.

The cinematic movie thing your going on about; it should have the same quality as a cutscene, so like, make your cutscenes actually decent next time.

Well if the people on this team have this apparent amazing talent at making animations, I would hope to see this amazing talent in there cut scenes, not just movies. The crap that "its just custom edition" isn't a good enough excuse, ever. You can always do better and everyone is capable of it. It's what you set your mind too.

Well considering the fact its the ONLY thing this team has actually shown us, then yes, people would base you off of it becuase they haven't seen anything else..

Once we have all the models made. we'll begin the Project. of right now were on hold until the models are done.

hah, i will, and its already better than your crap from what most people that saw it through teamview think.

Look just let them finish one of their projects first ok? I mean like they are just doing something...what has that got to do with you? you have something personnal with it? well aparrently noo....so just let them do their stuff...

Did you get bored of H3Tricks or something?

MAn what on earth happened to our topic? and sry everyone cause i messed up the title

and Slay:My comp is dieing so Im gettin a new one
a Phenom965BE(v2?)I have a somewhat OK-ish cutscene I made with halo and the map tutorial. Ill post it on xfire asap

Ok, um. Most of that wasn't even animations. The only "custom" animations I saw was when they turned their heads all over the place at the end. The rest was command lists :\

Agreed. Elefant gets a cookie

Just Calm down people the official project hasnt even started yet. This Thread was basicaly made to get people to help us with models and more animators. This project is big so i doubt 5 people can get it done in the time we want.

can I have a cookie?

also....
I ferget...
oh welll
I remeber...
Im working on some models
REACH bunker: 45%
just 1 problem
when I go to export the model it says that there si no geometry to export
