In Response To: Final Moments by Digital Ph33r (Spartan Jag)


Atmosphere, camera work, editing, and post effects are all top notch. Unparalleled, really. I'd like to see some varied voice acting. I get that resources are limited, but every voice has a commonality that breaks the fiction for me. I'd also like to see a narrative with more focus on a strong arc. This particular sequence is an extension of a scene taken from Halo and it ultimately serves the same purpose for me - it's a scene out of a larger story. I didn't feel attached to any of the characters and had I watched this with no Halo foreknowledge, I wouldn't have had a clue as to what was going on with the soldiers and would have felt like a good bit of the narrative was missing.

There were a lot of great little personal touches at the outset. The banter withing the squad was good. I just feel like there should have been a more defined thread to tie it all up.

: There's a new machinima up by Digital Ph33r.

: "Based on the story of the UNSC marines' first encounter with the Flood
: from Halo: Combat Evolved, "Final Moments" depicts approximately
: the last three hours of footage from the Mark VI helmet-mounted camera of
: Eric Dennison alongside a team of three other Spartans that were deployed
: to search for a supposed weapons cache hidden in the depths of Halo. To
: their horror, instead they discovered and unleashed a terrifying and
: deadly parasitic lifeform".

: I really liked it. Some great camera angles, nice story, and good suspense.

: Check it out on Youtube .
