Halo - The Battle for Brick Valley
I hope you enjoy this video! It's my entry to the 2012 Halo Toymation Fest. If you could vote for me, that would be great! It only takes a minute to register an account, and any support is very appreciated.
You're animating was great as usual as well as the visual effects. The place where this video suffered though was in the plot and the fact that most of the shots were taken from the same side of the set. The ending of the video didn't leave me with a sense of excitement or much enthusiasm for the video. Your set was fairly large so I can see why it would've been a pain to rotate it or change things up more. Some more variation in the shots though next time I think would've aided to making it feel more realistic and cinematic. If you use a webcam (which I'm assuming you do) you should be able to get those angles and different positions easier (that's a major downfall to using a DSLR sometimes...).
Really impressed though with how you are taking your skills and effectively using it as a source of income while still making good videos. Keep up the good work!

The film was originally going to be longer, but we had to cut it short due to, well, the need for votes. (We wanted to get it out as soon as possible) 
The squad was supposed to be surrounded and Master Chief was going to come to the rescue and then they would win.
However, I didn't shoot this film with a webcam, I used the Canon Rebel T3i. (You can't even tell the difference)
My sister helped do some animating, and we had to wait for the batery to charge every 400 shots, so yeah. (I was waiting for my AC adapter)
Well part of me was wondering if you used a DSLR because of the post-production zooms and camera shake (the need for a higher resolution). Also, welcome to my world of charging batteries haha. I still don't own an AC Adapter. Ill probably buy one as soon as I get Dragonframe.
I'm afraid I'm leaving your world of "charging batteries" I got my AC adapter. This is the one I have.....
