THS News #5

Time for some TEAMHALOSWAT news! We thought since we haven't had one in quite a while, it's time for one, and the fact that we got some cool stuff to say. We have news on Requiem, news on SpaceSports, and news on THS Shorts!

First off, is Requiem. Requiem Season 1 is going slowly, very slowly. The fact that we can only really work on the online battle scenes one day every other week kinda sucks. Offline scenes we can do whenever and voice recording we can do whenever. The fact that the script is done means it wouldn't take us long if it wasn't for awesome battle scenes. So, sorry for the long delay. Season 1, if we're lucky, will be released very late this year or very early next year. Again, we're sorry for the very slow delay. However, in it's very slow place, will be SpaceSports, many THS Shorts... and Requiem Origins. We'll talk later about Requiem Origins when that time is right, which will be in the next few weeks.

Secondly, SpaceSports will now finally start to air on YouTube every other Sunday again, beginning this Sunday, so get ready for your two favorite hosts Bob Doodle and Mara Star to finally get off from vacation and start showing you Top 10 awesomesauce, ranging from the sloppy Mongoose to the realiable Gravity Hammer.

And lastly, THS Shorts will also be making a return. If you don't remember what THS Shorts are, well, let's remind ya. THS Shorts are short 2-5 minute comedy episodes that are randomly made when we feel like. An example of one of our THS Shorts is Out of Gas. Make sure to go check it out on our YouTube channel!

And that's all for now. We're starting to do more stuff, so start coming back to our Blog more often. We're not going anywhere.

Requiem - Season 1 Help

We here at THS are going to start working on our Machinima Requiem - Season 1! Now there are some (or actually a lot) where we are going to have big battle scenes. This is where you come in. If you want to help on those big battle scenes, you just have to message the Xbox LIVE Gamertag: HAL0 M4N (Note: That 0 is a zero). Your name will be wrote down and when it's time to work on an episode, we'll invite you. We will also need various voice actors for some random characters that appear during Season 1. You may not be invited on every episode if we have to many people that want to help so we'll just rotate the list for every episode.

Note that while you may want to help, there may be some requirements that you will need when you are on Xbox LIVE and helping on the big battle scenes:
1: Xbox LIVE Gold, Xbox 360, Mic, and Vanilla Halo: Reach
2: Certain armor requirements (Mostly Default)
3: At least one (if not all) Map Packs

Please try to be reliable, and by this mean, you can help most of the time and also try to be mature as possible.

As far as recording your voice to be a voice actor, you just need a microphone and a computer. When we need your voice, we'll send you the lines via Xbox LIVE message(s) from HAL0 M4N, we'll tell you a end date when you need to send it via Email, and that's it.

Please remember that while all this will be taken, recorded, made, and all that good jazz, Requiem - Season 1 episodes will ONLY be released on YouTube after all the episodes are done and your Gamertag will appear ONLY in the last episode's credits.

Time will mostly be every other Saturday at 9 p.m. EST, starting this Saturday. Machinima making may take from usually an hour to even longer. But mostly an hour, actually, maybe even shorter than that. These number thoughts are just based on how long it took to make Part 3 action scenes from the Requiem Prologue.

Thanks to all that decide to help and make sure to let everyone know.

Requiem

Our new Machinima mini-series Requiem will not have a trailer, but Part 1 will be released tomorrow! Followed by Part 2 Wednesday, then the conclusion of the mini-series Part 3 will be released Thursday!

Now to tell you a little bit about what Requiem is: Requiem, at the moment, is a Halo Reach Machinima mini-series created by THS. It has 3 parts to it. It is about a four-man squad sent to a powerhouse to investigate why communications were lost there. As the squad arrives and finds clues as to what has happened, they find out a horde of Zombies have taken over the powerhouse. Now, they must fight for their lives and make sure none escape.

Requiem, Part 1 will be on YouTube August 2nd. Make sure to check our official Facebook page to find out when it is on, including when Parts 2 and 3 are on YouTube.
