Halo ODST: Operation Whiteout
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- Operation Whiteout is a fan made cinematic, entirely created by HaloVFX over the last 6 months (ish). We follow a Hell jumper as he drops from a UNSC ship into a mountainous and hazardous zone behind enemy lines in order to carry out his mission with his fellow ODST's.
Sometimes drops don't go as planned....

Absolutely love working with you man, this one turned out AWESOME as always!
Thanks for letting me get my hands dirty with the audio 😜
Dude from one audio nerd to another, amazing work!
Well done
Well those odst will have ptsd if they survived
This would cure halo fans from that halo series
Screw a movie make this a game
This dude needs his own company, he would literally direct a 10/10 movie whether it’s halo or not. Did you see how beautiful the movement was after he fell out the drop pod?
Voice acting was also amazing. You could practically feel the tension as he tried to stay calm while plummeting to the trees below.
343 could learn something from a man like this
I mean he is a lead animator for ILM, the premier animation studio in the business. Bro is doin big things
@@deathxbyxteacup1868 Lead?? I'm promoted?? ;) I'm only a Senior Animator not a lead yet!
@@HaloVFX If you haven't been made a lead then someone's not doing their job. Good job on the animation btw.
Dude, this was fucking incredible
ua-cam.com/video/mP6kwibLT-U/v-deo.html
You are fucking incredible
No YOURE fucking incredible! 💪🤓 glad you liked it man!
The ODST burning alive in his pod is absolutely horrifying.
"When you first saw Whiteout, were you blinded by its majesty?"
Yes, most definitely yes!
blinded?
@@EremisYamamotoparalyzed, dumbstruck?
@@EremisYamamoto paralyzed!? Dumbstruck!?
@@EremisYamamoto Paralyzed? Dumbstruck?
Dumbstruck?
Absolutely fucking masterful, how you keep putting out animations of this quality pretty much entirely on your own with no funding or budget is quite frankly insane. Probs the most talented dude I know, keep it up bro!
Thank you sir! Would love to see your reaction to it if you by any chance recorded it! Feel like this could be a good vid to get reactions from 😂
Honestly, an ODST add on to infinite’s campaign starting similar to this would be incredible. Would fit perfectly into the story prior to Chief arriving on Zeta
@@HaloVFX I agree with this. Make sure Actman sees this.
@@HaloVFX This video was better than the entirety of the Paramount series.
Comparison doesn't do it justice but man this is incredible.
@@index52 Would be cool but I think he's a little tied.
"HELL IS OUR DOMAIN!" is this guy's equivalent to "Troopers, we are green, and very, VERY mean!"
2:15
The risers swung around his neck, connectors cracked his dome!
Suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones;
The canopy became is shroud; he hurtled to the ground. *And he ain't gonna jump no more.*
This is just so fucking good, I love every little detail!
Glory glory, Hallelujah.
Oh wait wrong song.
i was thinking of how clever this was to make a short animation about an odst who never made it far, a sort of giving honor to those who suffered the same fate in real life, but then i read this ode and suddenly it clicked on my head and made the connection to the hymm that was playing at the very start.
mind blowned
what a helluva way to die
I appreciated the "aye sir" and the "ooh rah" it's always nice when military games portraying the marines use our proper terminology
Meanwhile 343 couldn't do that in Halo Finite lol let alone the TV series.
rah devil
Sadly the Army was only in Reach, it’s always Marines that are the poster boy of the military
it did feel nice, didn't it?
Which is funny since the U.S. Marines aren't u.s. army airborne, which the ODSTs have more of a connection with. Hell, our poor boy was humming to "Blood on the Risers," nor are the ODSTs UNSC marines.
Love the "Hell of a Way to Die" humming in the beginning, it's a nice mix of real life military culture and fiction.
I started to picture 101st airborne patches on the ODST's
I was thinking it was 团结团结就是力量
Blood on the risers
That was better then the entire Halo TV series. in all seriousness though outstanding job! I especially like him humming blood on risers in the opening. That was a nice touch.
This shit is miles better than 343s garbage.
@@EvilPhoenix007 For real, compare that to anything in Infinite
I would legit love to see an entire series of this than to see "Non-virgin, unchadly, masterqueef" that is proudly produced from paramount.
Hello beautiful polish man
@@jackalsniper892 Hello
the opening with the odst humming blood on the risers was a perfect touch. 10/10
Glad you liked it!
This is insane, literally gave me chills. In the games and books you see/hear of how tactical and rugged ODSTs are, but this gives you an idea of how easily their missions could turn them into cannon fodder.
Have you not played halo 3 ODST
@@bigbluetits Nah I have a lot, but this feels more fluid than the game, if that makes sense
I went "WOAH!" out loud when they exited the clouds. My jaw remained dropped until it was over. Fantastic work
Seriously dude. Not even bungie did this for ODST and their budget was in the millions. They had a black fade out and in when they cut thru atmosphere. This was beautiful
@@BrickedUpp ODST was supposed to be the final DLC for Halo 3 among the mythic maps all in one package but Microsoft greediness interfered.
"And he aint gonna jump no more!" I'm speechless, this was ABSOLUTELY badass!
my guy just raw-dogged the treeline at terminal velocity.
Why did this make me laugh 😆
He bounced.
(Bouncing refers to when irl skydivers die due to parachute failure.)
This is a community moment on par with 'Astartes'.
The Halo game I most remember is ODST.
The book I most remember is Cole Protocol. Specifically the ODST parts.
And this is shaping up to be the animation I remember most, alongside 'Day at the Beach'.
Great job bud, keep it up.
if i recall correctly the creator of astartes was actually contacted by game workshop (the developers of warhammer 40k) and offered him a a pretty penny to work for them. i cant recall if he took the offer but i remember a person somewhere posting online saying "our boi did it, he got recognized!" and it was a picture of an email sent by GW offering a job to the guy that made the astartes videos. with any luck this man here will get discovered by MS and offered money to produce an actually GOOD halo series (fuck you paramount and your halo tv series) where we as a community can be proud of our franchise again.
Way better than what Paramount gave us. 👍
I love how this dude is putting out better content then the Halo TV show.
Same situation on the Warhammer side where fan content is better than the stuff officially put out.
*And for 2 minutes and 45 seconds, I was a young boy again, sitting in front of my old CRT and playing Halo. 2 minutes and 45 seconds of peace.*
343 industries needs to hire this man
No paramount lol
So true
They don't deserve him.
That was really well done. Cheers to another great project mate! Also makes you wonder why ODSTs don’t seem to have parachutes
They should actually have parachutes and have a ejection system that would be pretty cool idea.
They do...... it's in the pod
they probably assume the pod will hold and anything strong enough to rip a trooper out of one would probably make a parachute redundant anyways
only specific loadouts have that getup, and those boots do the old airborne proud
@@LuoSon312_G8 When you say that specific loadouts do you mean a physically separate parachute because all ODST pods have a parachute like system which is what I meant. That being said the likely reason they don't have chutes standard is because AA already kills a pod going terminal velocity and then humanities God of war has to fist fight gravity itself so that the pod can land at all the issue with parachutes that hold a person are they are a big slow target honestly ODSTs are literally peak performance as far as Futurisitc paratroopers go in my opinion
Well I guess we know why they call him "Legs" (if I heard that correctly) now. Can't wait to see more of this, ODSTs have always been my favorite branch of the UNSC ever since their introduction in Halo 2 and I feel like we don't get enough of them.
You did! Legs might still make another appearance yet, looked like he hit some branches and soft snow to me 🤓
By what I've heard, that's even consistent with how real military guys get callsigns.
@@HaloVFX I would really dig a short follow-up where we follow legs (probably injured) as he tries to reorientate himself in the forest, an air battle raging above him. Could be incredibly atmospheric, as combat rages all around but a lot of it would still be hidden by the trees, and only bits can be seen when looking straight up
That longsword at the end Is the cherry on top
For 2 mins 45 seconds, I had the same feeling I did as a child watching and playing the original trilogy. Well done bro, seriously well done
That’s the exact feeling I want to bring back to Halo
Exactly
@@HaloVFX 343 needs you man
@@HaloVFX you are doing gods work my guy, you are bringing back that love that we all had for halo at one point or another in our lives and i couldn't be any more excited even if i tried. halo is my life blood, it was my first game i ever played way back in 2001 and i remember the pure joy i felt even being 5 years old how much i loved halo, years later i rediscovered halo with halo 2 and 3 and that feeling came back like a damn freight train and ever since i have been addicted to everything halo related. its no secret that halo is losing its soul, its very meaning due to lazy writing and corporation greed; and with that its no secret that the wider community is starting to hate and resent the franchise because it almost feels as if the franchise has become one big cash grab meant only to suck us dry and move on to the next halo project to rinse and repeat the cycle. but YOU are bringing that love back, the chills i got watching this were the same as they were back then and i would trust you with every fiber of my being if i heard halo was being left in your hands. what you make and the feelings your work makes us feel is exactly what we need more of and i cannot possibly thank you enough for your service to the community. I look forward to seeing more great things in the future.
Imagine if the Halo show put in the same amount of effort as you have.
I got attached to these ODST's and then experienced loss under 3 minutes, excellent story telling and execution on all fronts
You and SODAZ are easily some of the best animators I’ve ever seen. Seriously the time and detail spent on these shorts is amazing.
Wow it’s mind blowing that technology allows people to do this type of work, well done lad
I'm so glad I was here for the premiere. This friggin' RIPS. Can't wait to see what else you come up with!
"We are the Stewarts and we are looking green, and very, very mean! - oorah!"
Amazing voice acting and dialouge, spectacular animation quality and action packed sceneary put all together in 3 minutes in this one video. It was worth the wait 😎👍👍
Thanks man I voiced the male troopers 😁
@@theshapeshifterva6928 Reminded me of the clone troopers from Starwars: The Clone Wars. In a good way.
@The Shape Shifter VA you are incredibly talented brother, golden voice for sure
This needs to be a full movie, it would do so well
Fricking phenomenal. I watched this on my phone and it still had me on the edge of my seat.
I pray one day you'll have the budget and team to make your art into films.
Holy hell that was incredible bro! 🔥
you already making a vid about this?
"When you saw this animator, were you blinded by its majesty?" Fantastic work!
I love that you had him humming Blood on the Risers. The lyrics of that song saying "He ain't gonna jump no more", and the fact he's humming that just before this awful event is so perfect and brutally accurate.
That was shapeshifter the talented voice actor who did those lines. He sent them to me and I was like “damn that’s an excellent choice to put in, I wanted the odst doing something but didn’t know what and shapeshifter delivered :)
This is perfection. Please, please, please, make this an entire series. This was a soul-completing watch, and I would love to see more of these ODSTs!
I'm watching this for like the 5th time now, it's like a trailer to something I have literally always wanted to see. This would be awesome as a series
Love when a creator makes the ending very dark and just real to grasp how disappointing and unforgiving the cruel world is. Halo should be very dark and unforgiving, but it's never truly felt like that except in cinematics or certain campaign mission (which are honestly only in Halo CE, H2, ODST and Reach).
Now, it IS possible that ODST survived, since he hit trees from not all too high an altitude. But yeah. If that was the end right there, I wouldn't even be mad
@@Sigma-gb9yd Highly unlikely, he was already falling at high velocity, he'd have to bleed off speed to reach terminal velocity, and he fell for about twenty seconds. He probably fell a good four or five thousand feet there. Even hitting trees with advanced armor to avoid getting punctured he's got incredibly poor odds of survival.
@@WB1813 This trooper's survival is unlikely, but there is always the small chance that he somehow survived if he landed on something at an angle and/or the snow could've cushioned it somewhat, or just anything to break his fall for that matter. However, even if he did survive he would have severe injuries which may or may not include broken/shattered bones and internal bleeding depending on his level of luck. By the time he wakes up he is going to want to find a med kit and biofoam immediately.
@@WB1813 A human can survive a fall of terminal velocity. And we don't know how fast that trooper was falling. From the looks of his CO, they had deployed airbrakes by the time he was pulled from his pod. And even then, at terminal velocity, he would have slammed into those trees far faster than he did. He has a much better chance of surviving the fall. He probably won't be walking away from it, yeah, but he has a pretty good chance of not dying.
As for the actual distance from his pod that he fell, I would give maybe a thousand, thousand five hundred. Still fucking nuts and he will probably have several broken limbs, among other things. But death isn't a guarantee. Especially since we have actual, real world records of unarmored and unprepared civilians surviving far deadlier falls
I agree. Though the books are also pretty dark at times
That humming of blood on the risers was just the cherry on top
Shapeshifters excellent improvisation:)
Humming blood on the risers was the perfect touch.
This is the kinda potential that every fan knows that the Halo universe has and you keep realizing our deepest dreams. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Halo is so under-utilised it’s frustrating to me. I just hope I add something cool to the franchise even though it’s not official and not lore-based
that was a hell of an experience
That was amazing, and the quality is on par with blur. Would love to see you, Laper Larden and Wernissage collab to make the ODST story DLC a mini series. It would be amazing to see more stories from the battle of zeta halo.
I loved the faint humming to the tune of "Blood on the Risers/Gory Gory What a Helluva Way to Die" right at the beginning as a throwback to the OG paratroopers.
These 2 minutes and 45 seconds were more entertaining than the "Halo" tv show.
Hard to believe this video didn't need 10 million dollars to make. This is what Halo is.
@@Sanya6496 Ooo-rah!
@@Mate397 I literally said that with the vid man it's awesome.
Man I love these vids too be honest these vids are amazingly done and It brings back what halo truly is
I really love the Sound FX of the Anti-aircraft explosions after they start their drop. It sounded almost like Heartbeats, which made the atmosphere of tension that much more palpable.
This was outstanding. The back and forth before keying into comms with the other ODSTs to stir them up, the frenetic movement of the dogfighting, the handle grab and break... then freefall. Don't even get me started on the one Trooper's pods literally cooking them as it's heat ablative panels fail. Such attention to detail and working in nuanced bits of the ODST experience in such a short span of time. This is a masterpiece, and a masterful display of Helljumpers like we haven't seen since Halo 3: ODST and I love every second of it!
I've been looking forward to this
Incredible stuff! Felt like I was there in the middle of it. Just like Kylo Ren I want MOAR
"We must not forget that we are Helljumpers, and Hell is OUR. DOMAIN."
Chills dude
*Chills*
“He hit the ground, the sound was splat, his blood went spurting high…
His comrades they were hurt to say, a hell of a way to die…”
Leagues above everything Paramount put out. You can feel the passion oozing out of every frame, and the voice acting, oh man, that was a thing of beauty! Kudos to you, friend! Thank you for making this!!
Feet first into hell. Just like it should be! I wish this was a series because this was hella amazing to watch! Phenominal job!
Oooh, the joy I felt hearing "Blood upon the risers" hummed by the ODST. Perfect song choice.
At the start of this, the ODST is humming "Blood on the Risers", an old song about a WW2 paratrooper who falls to his death because the parachute fails, just like this ODST falls to his presumed death because his pod broke open.
This gave me chills, like wow this is stunning…
I would watch more of this if this could turn into a mini series or something. 10/10
Excellent
why is this so much better than the Halo Series and its only 2:45 minutes, wtf
Dude, hearing them hum “Blood Upon The Risers” sent chills down my spine. This was an amazing video.
Woah. I got literal chills from this
I love everything about this, the little creaks and sounds, the anticipation before the drop, and just chaos! So well done :D
Live the “gory gory what a hell of a way to die” at the beginning. Instantly set the tone. Instantly. 10/10.
Haven't had a fan animation give me chills for a really long time now! Oustanding job, going to donate to your patreon, keep up the good work! wish 343 would notice this and take some notes
Holy mother of God that was both exciting and horrifying at the same time. And again, I am absolutely blown away at the quality of this little project. That was awesome! This is amazing work.
Bro.....that was amazing please never stop making these, keep that creative spirit alive VFX
We're lucky as a community to have a person like you, seriously amazing work.
A halo movie with these darkness and realism would be fantastic, maybe some day you direct one! you have the skills, again...amazing
This animation alone shows the seriousness of the halo universe....
Need more of this lol
Omg!?! Love every second! I really love the style of the odst Helmet you did with it! I swear it look more sharp and sleek and not bubbly!!
FEET FIRST INTO HELL! Let's go, I want to hear that pre-drop speech every morning!
Its actually insane how good this is, please do follow ups of when the ODSTs are on the ground. Your High Charity videos were so good i would love to see more of this ODST mission. Keep up the good work, youre an artist
This would be a perfect introduction for an ODST campaign expansion. Amazing work !
It makes me happy that such an artistic person, with so much appreciation for the Halo universe, exists. It's evident in the quality of your videos. Thank you for your hard work and all of the time you put into it.
Had me feeling like I was there! This is incredible work Fr
Seriously awesome work, well done!
Bro whoever decided to put in “blood on the risers” at the start of this video is doing it fkn right
That was my idea lol. (Im the voice actor for all the male ODSTs) I figured since the ODSTs are basically the newer paratroopers why not give a little omage to the OGs.
This was insanely well excecuted. Great job!
Awesome!
Ngl every time I see something ODST related it’s always a calm wait in the drop pod and then sudden chaos, literally the definition of “0-100 real quick” that’s for sure
That watch yo jet reference hit with 7th degree whiplash lmfao
I need more! The atmosphere and lighting composition was just incredible.
That was hype 😁👍
“We are Helljumpers, and Hell is our domain!” God I fucken love that line.
the sound and visuals make this feel like an official halo trailer, i always enjoy seeing the stuff you put out!
Only 600 views? This was one of the best cinematics I’ve ever seen! We need to get it up!
Oh it will reach 1 million 🤞🏼
This is super dope! Imagine what could be possible if HaloVFX got a budget 1/100th of Paramount's
I’ve always been a massive fan of ODSTs and wish there was more media about them. This short film sooo scratches that itch and leaves me wanting more! Amazing work, can’t wait to see what you do next!
Love the switch at the end where they're just completely falling.
absolutely incredible to watch, great work!
Absolute banger!!! Looking forward to more ODST trailers, well done!!
This was amazing, I came across this randomly.
Beautiful animation dude! Your one of the few people keeping the Halo franchise alive!
What genuine amazing work
Absolutely love this piece, you should be proud
Hopefully bungie/343 watches this. This is gold, this is how to get your fans hyped
Dude, you always knock this shit out of the park. This is next level, and I want to play a game that opens exactly like this.
Soon as I heard the humming I knew this was his last jump. "What a hell of a way to die". Well done
That was awesome!
That was AWESOME! Can't wait to see what's next :)
Hearing the agony in the screams as the pod burned up was chilling. 1000/10 would watch again
The blood on the risers really hit
