Also I like how in your stop motions you dont use dialogue, only actions to tell the story. Its rlly unique and works well!

Thanks! I’ve noticed that a lot of animations have issues with the concept of “show don’t tell” so I strive to tell a story without words. It’s really fun, especially when I see people noticing small details. For example: Adam hesitates to hell the elites, which can be seen as him being xenophobic, but is also hinting at his affiliation with ONI, and his lack of trust in other people (hence he pointed his gun at Pliskin on multipolar occasions, even when they were working together).
When the opening words appeared, 'current objective' I was taken back to reach
At a loss of words, its just really damn good.
To see a terrific stop-motion film by none other than a guy who likes hollow knight is just terrific. Wonderful storytelling without dialogue.
man this is good and the metal gear 3 music in the background perfecto it takes me back to the good old days of halo 3 the rising and metal gear 1 music is pretty good to

I love the mark 7 designs and enubis too so great to see them here
I'm only about 5 minutes in but I really want to point out the detail of the detail of the blue light when the spartan is punching elites - its showing they have shields without actual shield affects like most animators hate addressing and doing (understandably). really amazing idea and detail I love about this so far.

Thank you! benis
This was a fantastic animation absolutely loved every moment of it. I'm definitely late to it but that didn't stop me from watching the whole thing. Definitely a great twist with the ONI Spartan wasn't expecting that and the practical effects are done so well plus the fights were awesome loved how you animated those. Lastly the story it's self was great as well as your set designs. I'd have to say again hollow this was a great animation film and I'm excited to see another film from you when the time comes.
Epic battle scenes! Great movie!
You are truly talented! Well done!! [+1 sub] 👍

They are different virgils. I kinda forgot that engineer Virgil existed, but I like the idea of them being counterparts. Though don’t read into it too much, it’s less of the RWS AI’s name and more of their classification.
