CARNAGE & CHAOS :: Halo 3 Dualtage :: Edited by Atiemark

Atiemark sur H3F a écrit:I’m proud to present my last montage, edited entirely by me
and featuring gameplay by QsK Carnage and aKa the Chaos.

I have been working on this Video for a bit longer than a year,
almost 2 years now, on and off, with side-projects like Dutchy’s M2 intro and a video for rhis called “VeniVidiVici”.

I had some longer periods where I had no motivation
at all to touch this video, and others
where I worked on it 6 – 8 hours a day.
Overall it is really hard to guess for me what the total
estimate time put into this is.
I estimate it’s well over 200 hours
(maybe less effectively of
course?).

Most of these hours went into the intro,
especially the 3d Spartan sequences and the 3d ocean
with the title, I learned so much than never before
while I was working on this and it is honestly
in my opinion the best work I’ve ever done.

My actual editing on the body isn’t anything spectacular,
there’s no way to call I amazing or revolutionary,
it’s just simple syncing with a few effects and sometimes very inconsistent color correction.
(there is a reason for it though )

So please do me a favor and don’t expect too much
from the main part of this video,
it took me way too long to make it and to be honest,
I should have tried and done way better in a shorter
amount of time (shorter than 1 year at least).

My biggest thanks goes out to carnage (alex)
and his brother aka the chaos of course, because they seem to have a unlimited amount of patience when it comes to this video,
this is something you rarely find.

They also let me have the most creative freedom
and execute my own ideas without having to
constantly update them with the newest renders.
It was a real blessing.

The other big thanks goes to bjorn,
he capped all of the First Person clips you see in there and
more, and also a majority of the angles, all that for free..
He is also really patient with me, always willing to help and always friendly!

Lastly I want to thank all the people I sent renders to,
for example maple, myzo and rhis, they really kept
my renders for their own ( I hope) and gave me the best feedback.

I really want to point out that almost everything
you see in this video was made in After Effects,
I did all the syncing, effects, nearly everything in there,
it’s the best way of working on a halo montage imo.
I had hundreds of layers and precompositions
but this really didn’t cause any serious problems for me.

This is also my first and LAST full lenght halo montage,
I will probably still prdoduce intros, 3d content and maybe trailers for halo videos though, so you can contact me with your offers.

Lastly I want to say sorry to all people I forgot to thank,
I may have forgot them because I can’t
remember who gave me feedback on my renders 2 years ago
or just because I wasn’t accurate enough.
