I've recently started work on my first Halo Fan Film. The Story takes place nine years after Halo 3 and revolves around ONI's secret Spartan III class 4 Project, specifically a team known as sigma.



I was wondering if any one could help me in acquiring any armor pieces. Any thing any body is willing to donate, sell or let me borrow.



Needed:

Mainly UNSC gear. (Most of the guns I'm making myself)

any 3d files ( Ships or vehicles, 3ds or obj files is all i can really use)



So if anybody could help it would be gladly appreciated.



(See post #12 and #114 for Script previews)
 
Nice:D If you need some files from reach, just look on my tread, i resently made Jun's helmet from halo reach^^ Im just waiting for unfold
 
Just to clarify, you are aware the third class of Spartan IIIs had been completed by the fall of Reach, right? Also, sigma is the 18th greek letter, and they are numbered sequentially - are this unit supposed to be the 18th class, then?

I was not aware of the other two classes of S III's i will go back in my script and change it to class Four than. I was aware sigma is the 18th greek letter, The team name is for two reasons:



1. They are the 18th squad



2. Sigma sounds cool :)

Not to be a downer, but until you get some serious progress done and ready for showcasing, I wouldn't anticipate donations. If you need a showcase of this, look at Operation Chastity's thread. Started small, got their own progress well underway (If you don't have a fairly big budget, chances are you'll be working for a VERY long time before you can even think about filming), then look for anyone willing to donate (but make sure to offer an incentive that would make that appealing, like a donator column in the credits or something physical).



Also, as Peter said a bit earlier, pay 100% attention to the story if you don't want to be blasted for not doing so. Halopedia is a great resource for that.



You might want to start with a script rough draft, revise it until it's presentable, and post it to get some feedback. Make changes as necessary, get to work on props, filming location, and equipment, and move on from there. Armor and weapons should not be your first priority.

I will do Just That. Thank you.

My first thought when I saw the title was "What? I haven't made a Fanfilm!"



Peter is right about the number though. Part of the joke on my name is that my real name is so common that I would be about Sigma on the list of people I know with that name.



Why not Tau or Theta or some other bit of greek that isn't Alpha, Beta, Omega or Sigma? I would also look at the work Peter has put into his film over the last couple of years to get an idea on just how much effort it takes to make something look good. Two words: Real Warthog.

I was Considering theta originaly but i decided on Sigma. The Real Warthog is amazing and Props to Peter for it. I plan on doing my warthog CG.

My best suggestion is read up on Halopedia and come back with a more solid concept. Read and read and read, flesh out your characters and how they can fit canonically within everything else while at the same time being appealing for viewers. It's the best way to survive. :3

Yeah- take everyones advice and read up on Halopedia unless you want an angry mob of spartans with grav hammers and energy swords beating down your front door (I know it sounds cool, but being stabbed with hot plasma would hurt). Even if your effects are awesome, and your script is epic, going against or altering the halo universe will make the fan base turn on you in a heartbeat

wait if its nine years in the future that means no, or little covys, whod be the antagonists

At first it's just innies but later on It's discovered that the few covenant that remained after Halo 3 were building their strength bake up.



So here's what i got so far:



HALO

SIGMA



[Alarm Ringing]



P.A.: All personnel report to stations! Sigma report to briefing room immediately!



[Arming Scene]



[Sigma Enters Briefing Room]



C.O. Smith: Good to see you sigma! The rebels have landed planet side; they’ve set up a camp on the northern side of the continent. We need you to move in and take out the camp.



Sigma 1: As good as done, sir!



Sigma 2: Good to finally see some action [pumps shotgun]



C.O. Smith: Very Good. Now Move Out, Spartans!



Sigma 1,2&3: SIR, YES, SIR!!!



[Salute]



[Sigma walks out, Sigma 1 fixing vest]





Sigma 2: So what’s the plan jack?

Sigma 3: Got it! [Loads clip into sniper]





Jack-037: Rex, you will flank left. I’ll move in and try and negotiate. If that doesn’t work [Loads clip into DMR]… least we got a lot of ammo.

Marine on Radio: Sir, there’s too many of them. We need to pull back.



Sergeant on radio: Marine! When you’re done pissin’ your self, get back in the fight. These good for nothin’ rebels ain’t takin’ Harvest on my watch!

Rex-025: Never stopped us before…



Jack-037: OK, you guys know the plan. Let’s Move!



[Sigma 1 & 2 advance]



Rebel 1: Oi! Who are you?



Jack-037: I’m a Peacekeeper. I’m here to negotiate a treaty with your leader.

Rex-025: On It!



[Rex runs out and begins shooting rebels with his shotgun, stabs one with knife]



Rex: HAHA! Come Get Some [fires a shell at a crawling rebel]



Erica (over radio): Sir, Rebel leader is trying to make his escape.



Jack: Take the shot! Don’t let him escape!



[Erica is about to take the shot when a rebel tackles her]



Jack: DAMN IT!



[Jack fires 4 shots from DMR and kills rebel who tackled Erica]



[Jack and Rex Run up hill to Erica]



Jack: You Ok? [Helps her up]



Erica: yeah, I’m fine.



Command: All UNSC Report to Evac Stations immediately. We are ordering planet wide evacuations. I repeat all UNSC personnel are ordered to fall back to Evac Stations.

Jack: Rebel camp has been breached but their leader Escaped.



Command: *damn* Sigma Move Back To Alpha Sector For Evac.



Jack: Copy That, Command. [Turns to team] We have to Get Oscar Mike; All Ships are pulling Out of the System.

Jack: Good to hear some one’s still doin’ pick-ups. ECHO-500, This is Sigma Team; we are 3 Clicks East of ONI Alpha Sector…



ECHO-500: Say no more Sigma Moving to the tree line for Pick-Up.



Jack: Rodger that, Thanks ECHO-500.



[Sigma makes a run for the tree line]



[Fade To Black]



[Pelican Drop ship seen flying towards a large group of ships on the edge of the system]



ADM. Kepler: ECHO-500, ONI wants you to dock with my ship.



ECHO-500: Understood, Admiral.



[Pelican flies and Docks at the UNSC Grey Hawk]



[Focus on Kepler standing in his office, Sigma Team walks in]



Jack: [Salute] You Asked to See Us, Sir?



Kepler: Yes. ONI has assigned you to my vessel, as you already know, so I’ve been looking at your service records and I have to say, I’m Impressed. Liberation of Cairo, Battle of the Thermopylae Station, Your training at Alpha Sector. Very Impressive.

[Dissolve]





Epsilon Eridani System

Operations at New Paris, The Battle of Tau Ceti, Even the recovery efforts on Reach. Yet I feel worried, like something is about to happen and Sigma isn’t even going to be able to stop it.

Kepler: What do you mean Unusual?

LEELA: As good as done, Corporal!



[View of Inside of Drop Pod]



[Leela appears on Screen in pod]



Leela: You’ve got 2 brutes guarding some kind of tunnel.



Jack: That’s it?



Leela: If only. I picked up multiple life forms INSIDE the tunnels as well as a large power source of some kind.

What's your intended run-time on this? Also, personally, while it doesn't necessarily matter to you, I wouldn't post scripts openly.

so are you doing the armor as SPI or the crap-that-makes-little-sense from Reach? and not to be a fanboy, but the spartan 3 Program was created during the covenant war to trade lives for time with the survival of two out of two classes totaling 600. they where made "better with new technology. Make more of them. And make them cheaper." squads were a total of three, four or six members using MA5K Carbines, Grenades, Snipers and captured Jackal shields, energy swords, or anything they could get there hands on. they were trained to act exclusively in teams with a large amount of training focusing on squad tactics. they were also augmented less strenuously to keep costs down, preventing the use of mjonir armor. and while it is implied the the third company Gamma,was completed by the time of the battle of reach, it is not directly stated.(Please someone check the time stamps in Ghosts of Onyx for me, Cant find my copy)in short it seems unlikely after the end of the war, the destruction of onyx, and the death of Kurt that a forth class would be trained. and the numbers of S3's was letter of company,number from 001 to 300. gamma 256 would be G256
