Arbiter vs Heretic Elite Animation - Behind the Scenes (Halo Mega Construx Animation)

Take a look behind the scenes at the editing and VFX I used for my Arbiter's Quest animation where I recreated the Halo 2 cutscene of the Arbiter fighting the Heretic Elite using Mega Construx.
I show how to make the Banshee fly, how I made all the Plasma FX, and duplicating the Banshee!
The editing software I use is called HitFilm. The basic version is free, and you can download it here: fxhome.com/product/hitfilm
The studio lights I use are made by Neewer. You can find them on their site or usually they're available on Amazon: neewer.com/collections/softbo...
The smaller LED light is made by Zecti: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...

Nice! I much appreciate a behind the scenes on this, never thought about doing the duplicate method for things I might’ve needed it for, glad you showed it!

You should do a 20k thingy

[@JxzMasterChief]

where you found the images of plasma?

[@Quillian]

Man, I really need a good editing software lol

[@motionmadnessstudios3027]

I have a question, how much fps did you use for that animation?

[@SonicJohn117]

All the animation was done at 15fps. The actual video was rendered at 30fps, because of those couple of banshee shots I filmed at 30fps

[@motionmadnessstudios3027]

Ok thanks
