So, as the title says, this thread will cover everything connected to the fan film which I'm currently working on with few friends.
How it started?
-About a year ago I was playing Halo Reach, Halo 3 and Halo 4 with my classmate and after that, he said that we should totally make a film about flood, but he didn't know how. Than I saw hiddenxperia's videos about armors designed to counter flood and what happens if spartan gets infected. It just gave me so many ideas and the story began to write itself.
Story
The story is based between Halo 3 and Halo 4 and follows a story of 4-men Spartan Flood Containment Fireteam which was deployed to base on Delta Halo to stop small outbreak but it didn't exactly go as planned.
Art style
Because the story is based between Halo 3 and 4 I can use things I love from both Bungie and 343 art styles
eg. Halo 3 Marines, Halo 4 Hazops
and since UNSC has a truce with the Covenant it opens many possibilities for custom weapons for spartans.
Lore explanation?
In Halo 4 Lasky says that they established pemanent bases on instalation 03 and 05, so for me at least it makes sense that on instalation 05 they'be built flood research facility.
Plans for characters
Flood Containment Fireteam
Every spec ops team needs:
-Leader
-Technician
-Demolition Expert
-Heavy (or sniper but in case of fighting flood, sniper isn't that useful)
Base staff
-Marines
-Facility Administrator
-Scientist
Flood
just flood
and Del Rio but a little bit more similar to Holand in Reach
Build(s)
-4 Gen 2 Hazop, there is separete thread for only one Hazop - my personal, which will be also used for this film and there isn't much sense for showing other 3 before painting.
Their Weapons:
-Leader - SAW or UNSC version of Covenant Plasma Repeater + Energy Sword
-Technician - DMR
-Demolition Expert - Shotgun
-Heavy - Sentinel Beam that he ripped off from malfunctioning sentinel (there is also a story about that and many other stuff, maybe a prequel one day?)
-3 Halo 3 Marines with Halo 4 MA5D's
-At least 3 Scentist (similar to those we saw aboard Infinity)
-Some flood related stuff
Status
Build has begun
Story is almost completed, characters just need to be a little bit more interesting
Need to locate places that will match ones in the story (it's hard to find something similar to a research base)
and... I think it's all for now but every suggestion, idea, any feedback would be very appreciated.
