"The battle for the Lamda Novus system was a naval skirmish that took place in the Human outer colonies' Lamda Novus system constellation two years after the end of the war and fought between the Second UNSC defense fleet that consisted of 3 battlegroups and the Covenant remnant's "hereditary ascension" fleet , which after the human-covenant war retained only a fraction of its previous power numerically .It was one of the first battles where the new "pillar of autumn" Halcyon class cruisers were used in live combat. Although outnumbering the covenant fleet , the UNSC battlegroups were met with -more than heavy - resistance and although eventually coming out victorious , the losses were significantly bigger than those the covenant remnant suffered , making it clear that although the covenant was now shattered into small factions and remnants , they still held technology and power far superior to that of the humans , and they were not to be underestimated ."

F.A.Q :

Did you know that F.A.Q doesn't stand for "Frequenly asked Questions" , but rather for Fundamentally Adequate Quintessentials ?


Q: What is this?
A : An animation created to serve as an advert / PSA for the NAVAL Branch of the HALORP Server.


Q : What programs did you use?
A:
- Source Film Maker
- Blender
- Sony Vegas Pro 15
- Adobe After effects
- Audacity (it's free what do you want)


Q: How much time did it actually take you to make this shit?

A: It took me about 1 and a half week (12 days) . Animation took me about 10 Days and the other 2 days consisted of me audio and video editing the footage , creating and adding visual and audio effects , so on and so forth.

Q: Is the description of the battle lore-friendly?

A: No , the system , the covenant fleet name and the whole story in general is completely fictional and created by me , the only lore-friendly thing in there is the UNSC and Covenant ship and fighter classes.

Q: What was your favorite moment / the moment you enjoyed most animating?

A: O.N.I throwing the marine out of the airlock. 110% positive.

Q: Will there be more animations like this?

A : Of course ! A marine corps animation has already been made and with the naval cinematic being the latest addition, there is still much to do as there are still other faction/branches (namely ONI , Air force and Army).

Q: Are you willing to accept a personal request aside from your Graphic's team assignments?

A : Yes! I'm 100% devoted and willing to make anything to promote or make the servers of Revival better.( For ex. i have already been asked to make an ODST specific animation).

Q: Are you only making animations / willing to make stuff for the HALORP Server?
A: Right now , yes but my job is to help all the community servers , so if you are from another server -ex. SCP- and need anything ranging from custom art , emblems , textures to animations and cinematics like this one don't hesitate to message me.



Fun facts :

The music that was used in the video is from the halo 4 soundtrack and shares the same name as the Revival Servers , with the track also titled "Revival" . I chose that track in purpose 'cause a) it matched perfectly and b) its name serves as a subtle easter egg

SFM crashed 3 times in the same day during one particular scene where i had to animate 15 or so UNSC ships , 12 or more Covenant ships and 62 fighters on each side , making a nice , whooping sum of 164 models in one scene at the same time.

i rendered the video 5 times in sony vegas and 2 times in after effects.

the file after rendering the video in after effects sized 42GB.


I had to animate each of those 164 models ,ranging from Battlecruisers to fighters , INDIVIDUALLY.

One scene took me 3 days to animate

The Laser , plasma and tracer rounds are all custom made effects which i created in Adobe after effects !

The cinematic uses over 100 mp3 files of audio !

A thing hardcore viewers will say is this "WHY THE HECK ARE THERE SOUNDS IN SPACE?" . And you are absolutely correct , there shouldn't be. I had that detail in mind all the time but after constantly animating and generally trying to make this video come into life for 1 and a half week , i was leaking brain fuel and completely forgot about that detail.I remembered it after the final product was rendered and i tried muffling the sounds but i couldn't do it without muffling the music and the rest of the audio too , so its on me , and im an idiot. Sorry .

All the UNSC paris class frigates have the name Savannah and all the halcyon class cruisers have the name pillar of autumn cause i had to use the same models for all of them since they were the only available models to me at that time.

I'll do it when army is good enough to deserve a cinematic

im joking im taking some time off cause im actually exhausted from what i went through to make this and i need some time before making another project like this one . In about a week or so i will create a poll where the community can vote on what they want to see next (namely : ONI , ARMY or AIR FORCE).
