Ha! I am toying with the idea of a short halo fan film too, but the script calls for two spartans which is making it difficult since I have only 1.2 suits.
exactly i have my secret locations that i go look for cardboard but when i am getting 10ft, by 4ft. solid pieces and big screen tv boxes, why would i go spend money on matting board which is too small for my need any way, which i have also got a good amount of for free but smaller pieces and in fact it is what most of my space ship is made of. And if you read a couple posts ago i said that i just lost my job, and don't have any extra money to splurge on supplies, so i'm going with the most economical rout i can.
My Boss is remodeling his house at the moment. So he has a dumpster full of good cardboard. I grabbed about 30 pounds of it. Theyre not going to be finished for another few weeks. So I have acsess to more when I need it.
Sorry about the job dude =/ Good luck on the new job hunt!
OK i just couldn't wait so i made a short teaser of my series for you all who have been asking for hints. Keep in mind that i just kinda threw it together in a couple hours, but, it has some hints for you, see if you can get them, there is also a quick shot of the ship.
That helmet is absolutely perfect. Yes making armor out of cardboard is perfect when in a financial pinch. I got all the cardboard for my ODST for free at work.
Ya sory i haven't gotten more progress on the armor guys. I have been focusing alot of attention to my other projects such as the mini series props, and our project truck rebuild.
Here is an update on the torso armor. I am gonna try and complete the armor by haloween.
here are some pictures i took off the Believe, interactive thing, this is as good a referance as i could get of the front, I know that the back is different, but i am changing other thing to make it similar but not exact, since the armor in the game is different and the armor in the live action is different, than this armor i will make my own version for my armor.
