I'm happy to announce the project is finally complete!

Last Thursday, I completed the Master Chief costume by Spray painting it, and it looks awesome! I might even wear it for next Halloween! xD

The filming also whent along smoothly enough although it was kind of hard to control the kids.

(yes I hired 6th graders for actors...please don't sue me)

Lastly, I edited the film over the weekend. Well, actually to tell you all the truth I didn't do much of the editing. It was mostly done by Ryder Hicks; also known as noodleboy347, a good friend of mine who agreed he wanted to help with the project.

For most of the time he was editing, I was playing Sonny...but really its a damn good game I suggest you peeps play it. ^___^

Well, as was announced before the public release date is this Friday and it should be on Youtube that weekend. I might even upload it to Youtube sooner, but theres no guarantee so far.

I appreciate all who kept up with the updates and everyone on the website for putting up with my absences while I was working on the project.

I also want to thank a few peeps personally who helped motivate me to keep up the work when times were it was frustrating and difficult:

This should be my last progress report update on the project since its done now. Thanks to all who helped and again to all who view the site. Thanks.

The costume is pretty much done, except for some minor last minute taping and folding, and then of course the Spray Painting. We also might have to do some velcro, but that should be pretty striaght forward. I managed to get a picture of the almost complete costume worn once again by my bro. (now fully equipped with a black undersuit and an upgraded helmet)

(I don't have a garage...humor me......)

Sorry for not keeping you folks updated with pictures and the whole deal, I've been busy...actually doing the project. I have made a lot of progress and should have some pictures up soon.

With that, I would like to announce the following important dates of the project.

4/4/08: Film Date

(will update with some Humorous behind the scenes pics)

4/11/08: Public Release Date

(Film is Showcased in a local School)

The Youtube Release date is still undecided, but should be out shortly after the public release date. The Youtube version will also include bonus footage and bloopers and is worth the longer wait, I promise.

I managed to do the other arm today, and it looks even better than the first! Probably from experience since I actually know somewhat of what I'm doing now. ^___^

Lately, I've been leaving out how much my lil Bro has been helping me. He complained and said he should get some credit on the page. So here it is. :P

The picture below is my Brother testing out the armor so far. I was pretty suprised on how good it looked! I can only imagine how good it will be once its done!

Another thing to note; my brother is the one who will actually be playing the Chief in the film. He called shotgun unfortanately, so I'm stuck with being the Camera man. I'm ok with that though, since I've never been that good of an actor. However, I do plan on making a small appearence in the beginning of the film...so see if you can spot me! ^_-

My Brother (the crazy mario fanatic...jesus you should see his room X_X)

This week I was working on the Left arm of the Master Chief MJOLNR armor costume. I got the basics done on cardstock, now it just needs some paint and something to keep it sturdy. Each arm consits of two peices; the forearm and the bicep. It took me awhile to figure out how to do it at first, but now I think I have it down and I should finish the right arm a lot faster then the left.

I'll also keep up a progress report here on how I'm doing, so be sure to check that out for overall completeness of the project.

The Master Chief Helmet is pretty much done...just a few more adjustments and it should be good. It looks kinda weird on me because my Hair is kinda showing through...but I'm not going to be Master Chief in the film, so that problems already been solved. I still look badass in it though 8D

Anyways I plan on working on the body next, which should be a lot harder, but I've downloaded some awesome Blueprints from a costume making website...so we'll see how it turns out. I'm not the greatest artist when it comes to this kind of stuff, but hey the Helmet turned out ok didn't it?

I started working on the Master Chief Costume which I'm making custom for the project. So far I've done some modifications to the Legendary Spartan helmet and I've almost got it wearable. I just need to assemble the rest of the peices. Here are some pics I took tonight of the Helmet in it's unfinished state. (Notice some parts are missing)

Should be completely done this week, or later if I have delays.

I've been looking for a way to express my Halo fandom for awhile now and me and some of my friends have decided that we were going to make a short fanmovie. I'm still setting up, but I'll post progress on this page when I get started. Were not total n00bs at making movies either, we've had some experience. I also have a friend who specializes in awesome video editing, so that will definitely be a pretty cool aspect. Another thing to note is this project will be based on an event from the Halo book called The Fall of Reach; hence the name.


Although this is a big project, it should be done by April 11th without many delays since we do have a time limit because I plan on airing the finished project in a public setting. I hope this will also get promotion for the site, and it will also just be a fun thing to do.

Shortly after the airing, I'll upload the vid to Youtube for all you good people to see.

If anyone wants to help with the project, see this page on the forum.
