In Response To: Halo: Dawn (BlueNinja)


As someone studying animation... I can see why too. Good idea -- but strange art style, odd choice in music, and awkward animation. One of the first things you learn about animating is how to give character to your... well, characters. That doesn't really show here. The serious-looking businessman bounces along, almost looking like an excited school girl. That cop getting her pistol out looks like a kid playing with a toy gun. And barely any animation at all on the faces didn't help.

Art style just doesn't really match the overall tone of the video either, it reminded me of a Sims machinima. The characters just didn't really seem to fit in with everything else.

Cool idea though, even though I'm not sure how it exactly fits into the Halo story. Shame on the job too. I'm sure I'm focusing on problems that aren't under his area of expertise. The video could've been a cinematography show reel for all I know.
