MEMORIAL - A Helldivers 2 Live Action Film
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лип 2024
- A lone Helldiver returns to the now war-torn Malevelon Creek to commemorate his fallen comrades.
This live action short film was challenging, yet so rewarding to make. I could not have done it without the help of my extremely talented and supportive friends.
Huge shoutout to Zac Counts for the VFX work, assistance with set/prop design including the painted helmet, and allowing me to borrow some of his equipment on the day of shooting. You can find his channels here:

Another huge shoutout to the talented "Pianistec" who has several hugely successful arrangements from various games and films here on UA-cam. Link to song used is here:
• Helldivers 2 Theme but...
Finally, shoutout to Arrowhead Game Studios for making an incredibly fun game. Just when I thought we were entering a true dark age of video games, Arrowhead released a $40 banger of a game that deserves every penny it earns.
Behind the scenes video(s) are on the way.
As always, I hope you enjoy the film, and thanks for watching.
"The Hero of Malevelon Creek."
As if there was only one ..........
When you text me in March and asked if I wanted to be in a short film, I never thought we'd put something like this together. Had such a blast working on it with the whole crew! Thanks for having me dude!
@@Boomstick_one still can’t believe this was your FIRST acting gig man. You absolutely killed it. Time to add this to your IMDB 😂
You played your role perfect
"The best actors don´t need dialouge"
@@wolfianius6037 thanks so much!
Your acting was ABSOLUTELY amazing man, great job
@@Pianistecthank you so much! Wouldn't be near as impactful without that absolutely UNREAL music!
Training is where soldiers don their cape and become Helldivers. Eastern front is where Helldivers become proficient with weapons. Western front is where Helldivers become heroes.
@@dragonstrike406 The Creek turned newbies into veterans overnight. We will never forget their sacrifice.
the east is the training grounds. the west is the true frontier.
The west is truly where you earn that cape
@@john02222 agreed. Those battles turned our capes from a part of the standard attire to a part of us.
Everyday I play a level 2 mission to show a new kid the ropes. Then I go to helldive and I spill oil.
Rest in Piece, John Helldiver.
May Liberty guide your Spirit.
@@JoltYT1337 fly high, John Helldiver 🕊️
There will always be a John Helldiver. He might perish, but his spirit will take over another and thus the legend keeps going.

Thank you for letting my music be part of this masterpiece, insanely well done. FOR OUR FALLEN BROTHERS!!!
Thank you for the kind words and incredible music! You’ve got a real gift. I hope there are plenty more opportunities for us to work more together in the future 🤝
@@camerachronicles7 You too my friend, it would be a pleasure to work with you in the future. If you make another Helldivers fan film, I could produce a special soundtrack for it (hope that motivates you even more, we need MOOORE!! :D)
@Pianistec that’s all I needed to hear! I’ll get to writing right away ✍️
To this day it still continues to be the deadliest battle in galactic history
We will never forget.
The Bots were in the trees.
Our Brethren are in the ground.
Liberty is in the air.
Can you feel it, Helldiver?
I feel it. I hear the bots chanting for their march and the sound of strategems being called in in my sleep.
As a Helldiver who fought among those Oil Tainted Waters and Soot Coated Trees, I am proud to have done my part among millions of others who done the same and now exist only in memory and the Blood Soaked Soil...
Let not one of their names fade from History as we forge Super Earth's Future...
Rest easy, Brothers. You've done your part, we'll take it from here... *o7*

For the Creek

@@caydenwoodall2249 we will prevail. We always do 🤝
I may be new but I saw what happened at malevalon creek and I have respect for all those that were there
Many brave souls stood their ground, allowing us to live to tell their tale.
I'm new as well, I served on X-45 and through the recent major orders.
We took the Andromeda sector and now my cape feels truly earned.
Never forget all the brothers we lost there along the way
I fought from the very beginning to the very end lost several comrads but there memory is what keeps me fighting every day
@@halo2d627 we fight in the name of democracy, and in the memory of all who have fallen. We will see them again someday in Valhalla 💪🏼
I can still hear the trees i will never forget ......thank you for honoring the fallen
So few of us made it off that rock.... by the time we were pushed off the 1st time the new blood kept calling us Creek Crawlers, like that was some badge of honor... glad one of us went back to show our brothers and sisters true honor. Remember the Creek, Divers
Remember the Creek!
This is absolutely fantastic. I love the dedication this community has.
Arrowhead really created some secret sauce with this game to bring total strangers together under one banner. I love it.
Rest in peace, Heroes of the Creek.
Gone, but not forgotten. Your sacrifices forever changed the course of the galactic war.
They're a light in the darkness, even now.
This is now official Helldivers lore🔥 Change my mind...
You’re a real boss for saying that 💯 thanks for the kind words!
HOW DOWS THIS HAVE 200 VEIWS?!?!? WHY

I came in towards the end of the Creek battles. But they paved the way to my love for the game. We will always remember Malevalon Creek. For Super 🌎

We dive Feet first into the jaws of hell, helldivers for life!
Spoken like a true Helldiver 💪🏼
I did not expect to be so moved by this
Remember the creek everyone, and honor their name by spilling oil.
Spill oil until there’s none left 💪🏼 thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
no need to cry over fallen helldivers, there are more frozen in the ship :)
There are always more on the way 😂
The musical arrangement for this short movie were AMAZING! Gave me goosebumps, so beautifully done!
Pianistec here on UA-cam is responsible for the wonderful music! Their channel is riddled with great stuff. Thanks for watching 🤝
This is some mandolorian quality stuff right here
What a compliment! I really appreciate the kind words. Thanks so much.
Freedom doesn’t come free.
Your sacrifices will always be remembered.
Rest easy friends, our victories are thanks to you.
We will see them again in Valhalla 💪🏼
Remember the Fall, Remember the liberation, Remember the Creek! o7
We will never forget 🫡
I cried the tear of freedom watching it. In the memory of the fallen we will destroy those cans and win this war
Spill oil, my fellow Diver 💪🏼
5 long years of hell at first we were winning then lost after lost
What is the cost of victory? 😔 thanks for watching!
This is just amazing! I don't know much about acting, but I felt the emotions of the person in the video. When he turned around and the skull became visible on the cloak, (I didn’t pay attention to him when he got out of the ship) my breath caught... And the way he clenched his fist... Damn, great job. Thanks to the creator!
Thank you! This film was that actor's first crack at acting, and I really think he killed it. I'll be sure and pass on your kind remarks to him! Thanks for watching.
As a diver thats been around since the begin, since the fall, and liberation of the creek. I stand strong with my brothers, and remember those who have fallen. I know our numbers have lowered, and our will has been depleting, but I still have hope. WE MUST CONTINUE THIS FIGHT UNTIL OUR DYING BREATH, FOR SUPER EARTH!!!
@@TribalRex66 we may be lowering in our numbers, but our spirit is just as potent 💪🏼 thanks for the kind words, fellow Diver!
this is the first live action helldivers video ive seem, but damn i didnt except you guys to set the bar so high, absolutely loved it. FOR SUPER EARTH
That was the idea! I looked around quite a bit before fully committing to this idea, and I have yet to find any live action stuff out there. Its fun to think I may be the first to post a live action Helldiver film. Thanks for your kind comment, and thanks for watching!
Divers will look at this and say…
Enough said 🫡
Omg the cape!.yes!
@@davidschneider515 the majestic cape really helps sell the whole thing 😂 thanks for watching!
To those fallen Helldivers, I will always remember your contributions.
Rest easy my dear brothers and sisters, we will take it from here. May your free spirits guide me through the darkest hell. Super Earth forever. 💪
Even now they are our lights in the darkness. Their courage shines bright, even now, even in death 💪🏼
Remember the Creek 🔥🔥🫡

To absent friends.
They will never be forgotten 💪🏼
Doesn't look like any bug infected planet I ever dove into. He must be playing on easy.😂
😂 This planet was primarily infested with Automatons. But, the planet is now liberated since we peppered the surface with our nukes. 💪
Man for as satirical as Helldivers can be, stuff like this really stirs the emotions up.
Fight on, Divers. For Democracy.
I appreciate the kind words! Fight on, fellow Diver 🫡
Remember the Creek and never let it fall again.
If we never forget the sacrifices made, we will never fail. 💪🏼
I never left the western front since the invasion of the creek. Its my sole reason to keep fighting these abominations ✊
Victory at The Creek was only the start 💪
Fantastic! Tell Wyatt I loved his dialog!

Amazing work!
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
I am impressed. Simple but strong. And the music was very well made! ❤
Thank you! Simplicity was key here, so I’m glad you enjoyed it. The music was all thanks to Pianistec! You can check out their stuff on UA-cam. Lots of great music on that channel. Thanks for watching!

What an absolute legend. o7

so cool to finally see it all together and posted! y'all did such a great job!
@@vixen__13 thanks dude! Really appreciate your help watching the kids and everything while I drug Wyatt around for this thing 😂
Love the feel. Would have made more sense to me if you'd said Ustotu. Not enough trees for The Creek.
Thanks for watching! The idea behind The Creek looking the way it did is, I figured after we had launched so many nukes on the planet for our missions, it would look more like a barren wasteland due to the radiation and stuff. Around 55 seconds into the video you hear a clicking sound, and that was supposed to be a Geiger counter in his helmet which ticks off like then when it’s near radiation, but maybe I didn’t get the message across well enough in the video. Lessons learned for sure, but I appreciate the view and comment regardless! 🤝
@@camerachronicles7 Yea I picked that up, I mean I don’t blame you, Malevelon Creek’s trees are literally black.
I guess you could have tried editing the sky to be black in post but it’s still good.
This deserves way more recognition

Brings up memories, good ones and really ugly ones... That damn planet... :(
We lost so many Divers. Bonds were forged and broken, sometimes in a single battle.
FOR DEMOCRACY!!!

I joined way after the Creek but man this somehow still hits the feels in places I didn't know I had. Awesome work man!
I’m sure there will be future events like what transpired at The Creek! There are always more battles to be fought. Thanks for watching, fellow Diver 🫡
Most impressive!

@@-hyphenated 100% lots of inspiration from Halo Reach. LOVED that game back in the day.
The fallen shall be forever remembered, as Humanity's finest. Many went into that howling abyss. Few returned. Let this monument stand upon barren ground as a testament to the courage, strength and devotion of the brave, fallen. There still remains a war to be fought, but let their example be a guiding light for us all as we press on towards victory, and finally peace for ourselves in a brave new galaxy. Where man, not machine, nor bug, rules with Liberty and Freedom for all.
Lest we forget.
Remember the Creek.
You’ve got some superb writing skills, friend! Remember the Creek. Now and forever 💪🏼 thanks for watching!
How do you only have 300 subs. This is quality.
I really appreciate that! I only had around 135 when I released this short film so, hopefully with more good quality content I can keep on climbing. Thanks for the kind words!
A short film, but an amazing one. Bravo man.
@@enigmatvarence4319 thanks so much! 🫡 I hope to keep cranking out more good stuff you guys enjoy. Take care.

Thank you! It was a ton of fun (and a ton of work) to make 😂 its fun to see people enjoy it.
How do you only have 150 subscribers? No matter, that number is now 151. Good work, Helldiver. This is an amazing tribute to everyone who sacrificed themselves on the creek.
I appreciate your kind words comrade 💪🏼 this is the first video of this scale I’ve done. Not to say I dislike my other work, but idk that they’re deserving of the same attention that this video is getting lmao. Thanks so much for the sub!
This is amazing man, well done!
@@zakshepps thank you, sir! Glad you enjoyed it.
Holy shit that "Cup of liber-tea" leitmotif is so good
That’s all @pianistec here on UA-cam! They’ve got lots of great song arrangements from various films and games.
i though this was unreal engine 5 for a moment, but very cool costumes!
Thank you for the kind words! The helmet and cape were custom, but funny enough, the rest of it is just dirt bike armor that we dirtied up with a bit of paint 😂 thanks for watching!
I watched the "making of" this film and it's amazing what you accomplished. Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see your BIG SCREEN debut someday soon.
Thanks pops! The big screen is a big dream, but I'll see what I can do to make it happen!
We stand and salute to all who have perished for victory, their sacrifices will not be forgotten
Just as stone can stand for 1,000 years, so too will their legacy.
dope work! Turned out great. Glad to have been apart of it!
@@zcounts literally could not have done it without you man!
Yhe implication that things got so bad yhat we or they nuked this once-forest world.... Wow. Might happen; who knows. Thanks for this. Helldivers never die.
I’m glad the idea that nuclear warfare transformed the planet surface clicked for some folks! I don’t think it fully came across for everyone, which is on me. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
We must continue to spill the oil of these Liberty forsaken bots, fight on Helldivers.
this is awesome
Thanks for watching, fellow Diver.
Very 😎 cool!!
Thank you thank you! It was a blast to make.
This is beautiful! Fantastic job Harrison and team!!! 👏
Thank you! Good to hear from you. I hope you’re doing well
Shout out to my friends who were last online after the purge from sony... I'll remember the times we fought in the creek.
@@Alpha00Fox gone, but not forgotten. Nobody can take away the fact that we fought with them to take The Creek.

this was super cool, definitely needs more attention. for freedom, for liberty, for super earth, and for managed democracy. o7
(though i am a little confused as why melevalon was shown as a wasteland here and not the jungle, still awesome though.)
@@Carnillion 😂 thanks so much! The idea behind Malevelon Creek looking the way it did was due to the nukes we launch on the surface during our missions. I figured in 5ish years after the liberation of the planet it might look more like a wasteland due to the radiation and stuff 🤷🏻♂️
This video is one of the greatest symbols of Malevelon Creek! I will not say no to another video like this! You just got another subscriber!
@@nukatea-rex883 thanks so much for the kind words my fellow Diver! We’re talking about perhaps doing a prequel leading up to this video, going into a bit more detail on this character, but nothing is solid yet. Thanks for watching 🤝
