Would you like to see a Video of the Week series?

thehalogod — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 00:27:59 +0000

I am interested in seeing how interested people would be in seeing a video of the week series done by myself. Each video would be posted every week by me and would be one play in particular that was pretty awesome.

Who’s interested let me know by commenting on this post.

Stick to your roots

Stick to your roots

Here is my third full Halo 2 montage, Stick to your roots. I always choose titles for my montages that mean something and I’m sure you’ll be able to pick up on a few things after watching this video. The song was created by my roommate back in college Andrew Lindberg with some help from Nate Moceri. I hope you enjoy this montage as much as I enjoyed creating it. And if you don’t get both of the references, perhaps you should revisit your roots. Enjoy!

PDZ Montage Trailer

thehalogod — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 07:54:47 +0000

Back when the Xbox 360 first came out I played PDZ for a couple weeks and captured some footage. I decided to make a montage trailer in case I ever got back to playing the game, but I never did. There weren’t enough people playing PDZ when it came out because no one could find any Xbox 360’s to purchase. So when I was off playing PDZ my entire friends list was still on Halo 2. In any case, I made this with a very little amount of footage and posted it because I didn’t want to just toss it away . Does anyone even play this game anymore or did it die out long ago?

Either way, I hope you enjoy

Just Wanna

thehalogod — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 03:47:59 +0000

I made ‘Just wanna’ the mini montage / trailer at a time when I felt that all of the montages coming out were far too serious. I’d like to say that I started the “funtage” trend back before it had a name. I don’t know for sure if I was one of the first, but it wasn’t common for montages to be created just for fun. I tried to combine a few things that hadn’t been done before and a little humor. From the feedback I got, it turned out just like I hoped it would. Lots of people were caught off guard both by the song and the content in the video and I got a lot of laughs. Don’t get me wrong, I take the game seriously as well, but sometimes you just gotta have fun. Enjoy.

Sephownage – “I’ve got it under control”

thehalogod — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 06:19:09 +0000

I have been playing Halo with iR Sephiroth (Dillon) for almost the entire time Halo 2 has been out. Along with Uncensored (Dat) and Vendetta (Carson), we went to two MLG’s together. Because we were on the same team most of the time, we rarely played against each other. The following footage in this montage has been collected from the few times that we actually played on opposite teams. I think this is a pretty funny montage and I enjoyed making it in April of 2006.

Untouchable – My second Halo 2 Montage

thehalogod — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 05:00:13 +0000

Untouchable is the second montage I released on the internet. I was originally going to title it Hands Off, but changed it to Untouchable at the end instead. I got a lot of great feedback from websites accross the globe and I estimate this video has been downloaded over a million times places like Halo-Pro.com, GamingVidz.com, YouTube and various other websites. I spent a lot more time gathering clips and editing this montage then I spent on Dust 2 Dust and I think it shows. I had over 40 GB of video footage that I used in the creation of this montage. I had a blast making this video nearly two years ago and I hope you enjoy watching it! People still tell me this is their favorite Halo 2 montage of all time and I’m always flattered to hear that. Here it is:

Dust 2 Dust – The first montage I released online

thehalogod — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 04:03:35 +0000

This is the very first montage I released on the internet. After making Vengeance, I decided to buy a capture card and spend more time collecting footage. The result was Dust 2 Dust. You’ll notice some of the better clips from Vengeance were also put into Dust 2 Dust because I never intended to put Vengeance on the net. (I don’t usually use old footage from past montages). Anyway, after posting this video in mlgpro’s forum nearly two years ago I got a lot of feedback and around two thousand downloads from a guy that agreed to host it. A few weeks after putting it out I started getting a lot of friend requests from people talking about how much they loved my montage. One of the people that sent me a friend request said they saw my montage on Halo-Pro.com. So I went over there and sure enough the video was on their front page. I didn’t even know it was on the site until I started getting tons of random friend requests. I talked with Matt (Phreak from Halo-Pro.com) about this later and he said he posted it because he used to go over to Stew007’s house and watch me and other Utah Noobs playing team slayer matchmaking. This was way back before the first patch, BXR’s, Double Shots, and even standby! Anyway, in my opinion this montage is much better than Vengeance and since it’s release two years ago I would estimate that it has received over half a million downloads from a variety of websites like GamingVidz.com, Halo-Pro.com, YouTube and several others.

Hands Off – Previously unreleased trailer to Untouchable

thehalogod — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 18:54:17 +0000

This is the previously unreleased trailer to my montage Untouchable. This was made about a month after I finished Dust 2 Dust in a relatively short amount of time because I needed to turn in a video for my video editing class. I never planned on putting it on the internet because I thought the sword clip was too long and there wasn’t enough ownage footage. I also didn’t feel it had the level of energy that I was looking for. So I scraped this video and started from scratch to work on what I would later change the name to Untouchable. (Side note: If you haven’t noticed already I purposely title my videos as a reference to the song used. I’m not really sure why, but I keep on doing it.)

Vengeance – my “first” Halo 2 montage

thehalogod — Thu, 31 May 2007 05:55:53 +0000

This was my very first montage created before Dust 2 Dust and was at first never meant to see the light of day. I made it with only two hours of game play and because I had a limited time I set up a few staged plays when I started recording. I needed to make sure I had enough footage to make a montage for my video editing class I was currently attending and I only had one 2 hour VHS tape. So, as a result some of the plays are pretty basic, but for only two hours I thought it was all right. This is the only montage IÂ ever staged a play in and as I said before, it was to make sure I had enough footage for my video editing class. So without further ado, enjoy the show.
