View fullsize

For a school project, Welsh VFX artist Daniel Kemeys and two of his classmates created this commercial for Halo 5: Guardians. The video was made to show off their VFX, MGFX, and filmmaking skills. Here is a note from the filmmaker:

The big one!, 3rd Year Final Major Project, Me and my two course mates, James Morgan & Thomas Barry decided to come together and collaborate on a Halo epic fan made ad! We wanted to stay true to the Halo franchise with epic visuals and a quirky nature, but also introduce a twist in the story!

This was a 12 week project, we did all the pre production and post production ourselves, We had some very talented people onboard, Dominic Pugh, who modelled and textured the Phantom Dropship, Josh Samrai who modelled and textured 1 of the 2 CG environments, with lighting assistance by Remco Van Dongen.

I thought the ad was really well done and entertaining to watch. I hope you enjoy it!
