Fantastic as always! I love how consistent both your level of quality and style are- it's always easy to tell when I'm watching a DMS5 video!
Thanks very much. Great to hear it
"THIS IS INSANE!"- that ODST with the assault rifle 1:00
-Tommas
ah, thank you.
Loved the halo reach jorge quote
Rest in peace đ
I like when he yeets Thomas off the pelican
Twas quite enjoyable to animate
JESUS CHRIST THIS ANIMATION IS SO DAMN SMOOTH IT REMINDS ME OF THE SAME MOVEMENT THEY WOULD MAKE IN THE MEGA CONSTRUX TRAILERS
Thanks so much
One of the best skydive scenes ever!
đ
Not gonna lie Dank, I still come back to watch this every now and then.
I appreciate that! Im glad it still holds up all these years later!
This⊠is⊠beautiful. ODSTs are my favorite, love EOD as well. The movements are spot on, making it look like an actual movie. Awesome blend of stop motion and SFX. Awesome work.
Thanks m8! I appreciate it đđđ
I canât even think of anything *kindof* wrong with this. Unbelievable job, I hope this wins
Definitely one if not the beet halo stop motion out there
Thank you đ
Dude, the entire thing was fantastic. Just that intro itself could make a grown man cry, and it did. Its one thing to have nutty animation and choreography, but also to have a better story than Halo 4 and 5. I have 0 complaints, 11/10... I will be angry if they don't say yours is the best.
Thanks so much man!!!!!
Wow. The cgi was OITSTANDING. The writing was amazing, and I had a good laugh at the begging with the odsts. Amazing work
Damn that's some incredible special effects
âReach has been good to meâ-Jorge
Unfortunately not
@1:31, that's Vin Diesel right there. Only he can survive a fall like that unscathed. If you ask me how I would sum up my feelings towards this stopmotion?
-Simple, MIND.....BLOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much!
Youâve outdone yourself yet again Dank. I loved this through and through. The voice acting had to be some of the best Iâve heard in recent years. The comm effect sounds perfect and doesnât come off as too staticky or incomplete which results in not being able to understand the characters. The VFX shots were phenomenal and the overall stop motion was incredibly smooth. The lack of light flicker in the interior scenes is impressive as I know the gray bricks love to reflect light. The script is simple but includes enough detail to make it easy to understand without leaving room for many questions. I find that particularly impressive as itâs something I frequently struggle with. Finally the touch of having the spartan be bigger than the ODSTs works surprisingly well. I might try it out myself sometime if I can make it work. Great job Dank! You have my vote for the contest!
Thanks Bab- I mean, Badlaxe đł. I mean. I lov- I mean. Thank you. đłđłđłđŠđŠđđŠđŠđđđ€·đđŠđđŠđŠđŠđ±đ±đ±đ±đđ±đ±đżđżđż
Fr tho, you've been my biggest inspiration for animation. I couldn't have done this without you
You find grey bricks reflect? I have pure white bricks that reflect brighter than the sun lmao đ
Whatâs the contest about
This is easily one of the best halo stop motions on youtube. The action was perfect, the setting of Reach was perfect, voice acting was really good, dialogue felt actually really natural and would sound like I would hear it in a halo game. I like the references as well like the one way trip line. The CGI was used very well and looked really good, and the mixture of that and actual animation was awesome. This is easily your best video yet imo, because I honestly canât find a flaw about it. Amazing work my dude
Thanks so much. Means a lot
I have no words.. this is AMAZING
While the story isn't anything special (Reach đżđż) the execution is amazing! Great special effects, animation, dialouge. You did well Dave. Also gg to all the voice actors.
Not a fan of Reach? I see đż
DANG BRO YOU ARE WINNING THIS EVERYTHING IS AMAZING (except my vfx)!!! I got the chills and I am happy I got to participate in this masterpiece! You are the best Director I've worked with.
We could have done better if there wasn't a 5:07 min limit on the entry. I had to compress quite a bit of the ending. You're the one who made any of this possible Studio đđđ
Wow, this is such a solid film. I mean, this should get much more recondition. Great job winning the contest!
This was awesome to be a part of. Thanks again for having me.
Tommas is the best character of all time easily tbh, no debate
Idk man. That spartan is pretty cool too đ
@@dankmotionsstudios5161 Mayhaps.
Woah! I love that! That was absolutely awesome, and I love the fact that Thomas didn't want to jump lol. That was super good, and you gained another sub!
Thank you so much!! Im glad you enjoyed!!! This animation is definitely one of the better ones on the channel đ đ
Woah...just woah. It's absolutely amazing! Audio is on point, the vfx is amazing and the lighting and set was... gorgeous! The references to reach just made it better! Good work Dank, look forward to more!
Aux cord
Rip
And speedy are such a good team
And Dank your phenomenal
You're
Sorry đż
@@dankmotionsstudios5161 you good
Based pfp
Youâve seemed to figure out a formula to make your videos immersive, Iâm starting to like Halo animations more with every upload. Also didnât know StudioLD did the effects for this, I had the urge to check when I saw the LEGO landscape at the end. The music and voices worked together well too, although when you speak I still canât unhear Steve đ
Lmao thanks
Sorry Iâm late to the party, but my gosh. This was an incredibly well made animation. Not only was the actual animation extremely well done, but the music, vfx, story, everythingâŠso detailed and amazing. Great work!
Thanks so much!!!
Ah your action animation is flawless with that camera movement and added effects. The Opening scenes are also very well done
Many thanks Max
@@dankmotionsstudios5161 No problem Dank I see you working very well so that motivates me to create to
I recently discovered that putting sticky tack or clay on their feet makes the walk cycle way easier
It does
It really does tho
Yeah it does
OH MY GOD THE EFFECTS
đđđđđđ
This is incredible everything is amazing the green screen the fx the story, the lighting. Nice voice actors they did great
Dude, I never got the noti! đ This is amazing man, keep up the great work! The VFX and SFX are astonishing! đŻ Can't wait to see more from you! â€
Thanks big man! đđđđ
Bro what.
This is so good.
This is really good! I especially liked the whole opening scene, it felt like they were actually in the sky, and the VFX really complimented this alongside the practical and hand drawn effects (I believe there were some, such as the shotgun rounds.) The voices could obviously use work but theyâre not bad. (It could be interesting if you got some professional voice actors for a later stop motion).
Spectacular job with this animation, the set designs, sound effects, and everything. It all came together nicely and it worked really well.
Voice acting is hard đż
@@dankmotionsstudios5161 yeah it really is, I tried doing it a few times for some of my stop motions but after hearing myself despite trying many times at one point, it just made me appreciate all of the voice actors out there even more.
As basically everyone else said this is easily one of my favorite Halo stop motions on CZcams, the quality is insanely high and the action is top notch. You are certainly a master of atmosphere, I actually felt hyped and I don't get hyped very often.
That's great to hear! Thank you so much đđđ
Congrats on the contest win! You definitely deserved it, this is one of the best animations I have ever seen
This is awesome Iâm speechless great job!
Thanks!
This was incredibly well made
ENTRY RECEIVED SPARTAN
This is still an underrated video. Hope to see this video grow more
Thanks man!
Wao que genial animaciĂłn
This is amazing, I don't know what else there is to say.
đđ
Bro those aerial pelican shots đ€€ how do you even do those? This is one of the best stopmotions Iâve ever seen dude, youâve improved so much at animating mcx, itâs insane man! Everything about this was incredible, the action, the vfx and sfx, the voice acting, the animation, the set design, and the simple but exciting story. This was absolutely phenomenal in every regard! Great job, and best of luck in the contest Dank đ
Thanks so much!
I made the pelican shots in blender. if you want I can make a breakdown at some point!
I....I.... đš
Iâm speechless man, really. This was literally perfect in everyday! The animation was smooth, eggagerated and felt like realistic with weight. The vfx were beyond anything Iâve ever seen in mega construx being close to blur level quality. The story really reminded me of Armageddon (the movie) and I really enjoyed how you ended up executing it. The voice acting was really well done also. The practical effects were also phenomenal! Iâm just so impressed man! Itâs animations like this that keep everyone motivated to try to do their best and we all appreciate your effort.
Thanks so much!
Wow this is very epic
This was awesome and I canât wait to see more from you(especially final drop part2)
Thanks a lot! I haven't really been feeling motivated to animate recently, but Im sure I'll get back into the swing of things soon đ
Bro this is insane I canât wait to get as good as you making stop motions great stop motion canât wait to see more.
This is amazing the animation is so smooth and all the voice actors do an amazing job.I also really love how you did some of the vehicles and those sets oh I can talk about those all day keep up the good work my friend
Thanks man!
No problem love supporting my fellow animators you know I just realize I say this a lot
This probably one of the best animations all year and the year has only just started. Excellent work, every aspect of the animation was done to such a high quality it's hard to believe it wasn't done by a studio.
Thanks!
Solid video! Better then I expected
WHY THIS TOP TIER STOP MOTION JUST HAVE A FEW VIEW ???
CZcams algorithm
Based
Damg dude you definitely know how to start a film, cause that was sick as heck! Amazing starting for an amazing animation!
Imagine if they made video game on this
They did. It's called Halo Reach
U need more subs
clap clap clap
HOW HAVE I NOT WATCHED THIS YET?! I GOT NO NOTIFICATION?!?
âSpecial delivery!â
You are my new favorite animator. I like Edbound a lot, butâŠ
Also, you need to make this an entry for the Domainâs Christmas contest. No doubt in my mind that youâd win, first prize gets tons of stuff
Alright. Thanks for letting me know. I just entered it. The animation itself goes over the limit by 6 seconds, but I hope that won't be a problem
And Edbound way better than me btw. đż
@@dankmotionsstudios5161 Iâm sure it wonât, itâs too good.
@@dankmotionsstudios5161 ok, my new favorite mcx animator at least, maybe I exaggerated a bit
It barely meets any of the criteria. Its not on Zeta Halo, it doesn't have anything to do with x-mas. There are cuss words in it, blood, and it goes over the time. đżđżđż
Awesome work mate đ
great job man this is some impressive work right here
đđđ
Hi I saw this on discord and I gotta say it's amazing the effects the animation it doesn't look skippy at all (PLZ TEACH ME) my stop motions are put to absolute shame by this piece of art
This was so cool! I'm getting the feeling that I'm gona need to make a halo stopmotion after watching this. Looks like the new year for this channel is off to good start! Good luck on your next animation!
Man that was rly good
Thnx!
That was awesome, good job dank
Brother in Christ this is the best animation I have seen just in the animating alone. You gotta show me how you were able to do the opening
The whole opening sequence was all done in blender & was mixed with a lot of green screen work
@@dankmotionsstudios5161 is the name of the app that you used just "Blender"?
THIS IS SO GOOD!!
đđđđ
Dang man ur so gud at animating great job bruv
This turned out fantastic, bro. Love all the practical effects and great voice acting, and action. Super fun video manđ
Thanks so much!!!
Excellent stuff Dank. *Everything* done to really high quality and just 'flows' so well. I'm not familiar with the story so, for me, that was really good too.
Going to be right up there and tough to beat again đ
đđđđđ
the voice acting and the stopmotion itself is just amazing, props to you man
Thank u
This is amazing work. The choreography is unlike anything I have seen before. The effects and camera work is incredible. Easily one of the best stop motions ever released.
If you think this is good, then u should go watch Badlaxe Animations. I get just about all my inspiration from him. Choreographs his fight scenes so much better
Amazing work keep it up! These close combat scenes are made so well it must have taken ages
Quite the grind
Nice work
holy crap
the green screen you would have had to done to make this is ridiculously insane
this is great
Hey man, this is super cool stuff!
Also very honoured and flattered you used my Tip of the Spear cover! I would greatly appreciate it though if you could appropriately credit me though so people know where to find my cover (and the other songs you used, for that matter)!
Oh shoot! Yeah, of course. Lemme do that real quick. My apologies.
No worries, thanks!
@@dankmotionsstudios5161 Hey man, me and Su worked on that cover together, i'm glad it fits so well in the vid. Great job to you as well, its an amazing stopmotion piece and its great to see people creating Halo content with interesting stories in such a cool way. :)
Damn this looks so good. Not only is it visually appealing, but it's just such a cool stop-motion. Well done
Thanks!
Wow this video is very amazing no more needed to be said mr David
Thank u Harold
@@dankmotionsstudios5161 thank you for the video Mr Dave
Ya casi los 117 likes đ
Aye yo Dave that was fantastic the CQC was fantastic and you made a good choice having Rip and Aux they both sounded great also I really do appreciate you having me in this means a lot from someone with great stop motion talent. the animation shots in blender are amazing they look so beautiful. Overall great job and I'm glad you never procrastinated.
đđđđđ
So I know you said you broke a ton of the rules, and would probably be disqualified, but you won the Domainâs contest, dude! Didnât see you in the chat of the livestream, so I assume you werenât there. But you won first place, man! Have fun with the prizes!
Holy shit really???? OMG! I literally couldn't be there. I was at a show choir practice at school. I feel really bad now đđđ
@@dankmotionsstudios5161 Yeah bro, first place! Congrats!
A bit cliché but really good nonetheless, the animation and cinematography were top notch sfx were good too and well appart from some cheesy dialogues it was amazing, good job:)
Aaaauuuugghh. I can't with dialogue. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Thank u tho
Jorge sacrifice 4:14
Phenomenal work Dank, this definitely top 3 placement for the contest. Donât want to jinx you but you got this. Set pieces and background were awesome. Top tier choreography and action, sound effects were on point and great to my ears. Another great work by your Dank, take pride in this animation you made.
Thanks big man
This is one of your best yet in my opinion it has great story, great vfx and amazing sound effects and your animation is so smooth!
Also I gotta ask is there an update on the mandalorian series
Mando is postponed for the moment.
@@dankmotionsstudios5161 sad but fair enough Iâm loving your halo projects as well so Iâm not complaining
4:13 Jorge death . 0:46 Emile
Glad you caught those
Ash Williams (Army of darkness) or Josh Mcgrath (Max Steel) or Action Man (1993) or Guts / Gatsu (berserk) be like John 117 or Noble 6 or Zavala or Lord Saladin (Destiny), Lina Inverser (slayers 1989) or Betsy Braddock (Psylocke) or Setsuna Meiou (sailor pluto) or Kaine or A2 (Nier) be like Cortana, theory or clue Halo is the future from the real life
Huh
@@dankmotionsstudios5161
Do you know about the other franchises in my comment, not all theories and indications of aliens are false, Halo and Destiny share a universe, John 117 is the copy of Captain America and Iron Man, it also says John looks like a Power Ranger, in space I copied Star Wars and RPG I copied Mad Max and Terminator, theory whils from Star Wars are worse than the siths, saw spaceballs 1985, being flood and forerunner s are the worst fates than death, Spartan Nicole-458 from dead or alive 4
Can I ask how the Audi quality in your videos is so good? For me thereâs always a white noise in the background when bo dialogue/music is playing
Make sure the room is quiet.
can you do a tutorial on how you do your blood?
Just use the drawing tool in stopmotion tutorial
Short and sweet and too the point, a really enjoyable action short! Idk what you used to render your clips though some of the scenes were mad pixely, but all the animation was smooth and badass an amazing timing with the music keep it up đđ»
Thanks!
Was that meant to be the same James as from Badlaxeâs Quatari series? If so thatâs some serious world building.
It kinds was, yeah đż. In spirit at least
Really good! How did you do all of the sfx, it looked amazing! Well done and good luck with the contest
Inshot is great with overlapping sound files. I downloaded most of them from yt
Nice green screen
Many thanks. Managing the lighting and protruding shadows is a very tedious task...
Hey man!
Iâve got a huge project in the planning and I was wondering if youâd want to do a voice acting role in it. Let me know if youâd be interested.
Maybe đż
@@dankmotionsstudios5161 please think about it and let me know. Itâs fine if you canât
Whereâd you get the music from? Great cover of Tip of the Spear
Just looked up Tip of the Spear metal cover on YT. You'll find it if you look around a bit
@@dankmotionsstudios5161 alright, cool thanks
How did you do the skydiving scene
Very impressive
Green screening and a lot of masking. My VFX animator did a phenomenal job
Noice
Is this the music you used at the beginning?
czcams.com/video/2LcohwNAXbc/video.html
Yeah man
HOW LONG DID THIS TAKE
3 weeks đż
@@dankmotionsstudios5161 Thatâs incredible, and actually a pretty short time frame to create this, nice work
These are okay, I like your lego animations better though đż
AAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGHH
Aww câmon you purist xd
That CGI was insane and the whole animation was insane xd
@@ClicStudio I love the cgi! I just like LEGO better than halo
@@dankmotionsstudios5161 I like your cgi! I just prefer lego over halo
