What is your favourite Halo video out of the ones that you've been involved in?

Thought it might be an interesting thread, see which videos people think of as their best vs. what others think.

EDIT: Figured I'd put my choice up as well. For me, it's pretty obviously All the Gold 2. It's the most proud I've ever been of a video I released and I'm so glad Chimp gave me the chance to edit his clips, which were arguably some of the best at the time. I don't think I've ever put more effort into a video. I remember Chimp almost dropped me but the intro blew him away and he ended up adding even more clips for the last Pendulum song, happy moment for me. This might sound arrogant but I think it's definitely one of the top 5 MLG Reach videos ever released, behind The Avengers, Legend, and Ol' Man Makowski. I doubt I'll ever make anything better (although I hope to surpass it with my next release haha).

This one's my fave. Although the gameplay definitely gets beat out by a few other videos, i just love the style, theme and song i went with. To be honest i wish i could make something i'm this proud of editing-wise again but we'll have to wait and see if that happens.

Interesting thread idea.  Unfortunately I have nothing to contribute to this list yet.  Hopefully that'll change soon.

I thought about this for a few hours--and there's one I'm both proud and ashamed to be a part of--The Dancetage.

 

I helped record footage for 8, 10 and 11, but since I was visibly credited in 10, I decided to post that one here.

I met up with 2 Bukks online and he's actually very nice. Completely different from his F@G exploits. He even allowed me to use their clips in Communitage 3, which was a big help.

Is anyone aware of where 2 bucks is now? He has a youtube channel with like 500k subs! Crazy to think he started with little ol' halo 3

Definitely not my best, but this is my go-to video if I'm in a bad mood. I'm probably 800 of those 3,000 views.

This is my favorite video i've made for a lot of reasons, and it will probably continue to be my favorite until i make another one:

In terms of achievement, I think Dying Breed is the best overall video i've been a part of. It was the only gameplay i really liked from myself on MCC (Jumping 3 over the sniper shot on lockout, 3 Dub 3sk on lift, rrxbxr frenzy etc.) and Hustla/Hurricane/Tony's gameplay was obviously insane. My two favorite clips from this are actually tones bxr tac and hustlas creek tac, both on myself.
I wanted us to make a video that embodied how we felt about video making and because I feel we achieved that, that makes this the best video i've been a part of:

When my m5 come out it will be that but until then it's probably my dualtage with my buddy Jay (Detox). Definitely not our best video but anytime you get to make a project with a close friend it's instantly better than most solo projects.

Really proud of the blue goonies tage mainly because it was made with some of my closest friends on xbl. I literally talk to these guys every day. Also it reminds me of how much time and effort we put in early MCC. We would literally stay up all night running scrims and PGL matches then wake up early sunday mornings to play in the HCS cups. Just a lot of good memories.

The first half of this is just unreal. Not a huge fan of it once the lyrics kick in though.

​BC community tage. Had tons of fun rounding up all the clips for this. And it turned out pretty sweet.

Pretty sure 2 Bucks co-started the website "Distractify" with the guy who ran failarmy or something. I believe the site is worth quite a lot of money. His "AmazingLife247" channel was re-branded as Distractify for a while before they switched it back to AmazingLife247, you can see it in videos like these: https://youtu.be/tHCDnKhppw8?t=10s

My favorite montage is probably my Halo 3 Montage 3 just because I put so much effort into it and I think the clips are my best (though I wish I had more variety of playlists), but my H3M1 is more nostalgic (and has tons of skirmish clips). I spent 3+ years gathering the gameplay for it as well so it kind of reminds me of being a lil' tager who is constantly stoked on getting newer, better clips. Releasing my H3M1 was probably a better memory too, since it gave me a bit of attention (getting recognized on xbox live, talking to other montagers on AIM every day, getting really nice comments on Youtube and THF). I went from only talking to maybe 5 friends to having 70 people on AIM in a month or something, and I made a "FatRat" gamertag when I released my montage just to see if I'd get recognized online (lol), which happened like every day cuz multi team. feels gud mang.

Your M3 is absolutely incredible but, personally, my favourite video of yours is your M2. The first song is especially nice I barely speak or understand French (which I should having learned it for like 8 years lol) but it's such a relaxing song and the clips are great. Really enjoyed the soundtrack in general, definitely one of my favourite montages. I still remember the killtac exterm towards the end of the song where you stick two people and snipe a guy going up the lift and continue the multikill, amazing.

@SHER is BATMAN Still sorry about disappearing while editing that video lol. Ended up being busier than I expected but you ended up doing a great job anyways. Too bad audio is muted :/

Also put up my favourite video up in the OP. I'd be surprised if people liked another one of my video's more (unless they hate Reach).

all good. shit happens.

Some Months ago i found this song on soundcloud and instantly fell in love with it. I always wanted to make/edit atleast one legit montage/video. And even if it wasn't flawless, the edit isn't anything special and the gameplay features only some better highlights im really proud of the outcoming. This video will always be something special to me.

some of my favorite/best clips

one of the first times I edited (and one of my first videos on the old channel)

Mine would definitely be my Halo 4 Montage 3 from September 2015. It's not only the video I'm most sentimental about, it's just the epitome of my experience with making Halo montages. Just thinking about it makes me reminisce back to the summer after high school where literally all I did was take the train across town to my girlfriend's apartment, spend nights there, then go back during the day and literally sit shirtless and sweat for clips all day before going back and repeating the whole thing. I guess just writing this now is making me appreciate old videos that much more, and that when we go back and rewatch them, we remember what was going on outside of Halo just in life at that time. Damn...

Even sweeter that it was the last video I made on my then 6+ year old macbook using iMovie '09 of all things. The software was so slow that I actually made the tage in 2 separate projects and then at the end copied and pasted part 2 into part 1 and added back the sound effects while switching back and forth to align everything back together by the frame. It was the jankiest thing ever but the final product was by far the best video I'd ever dreamt up. It felt great getting uploaded to FBW and watching my subscribers shoot up as I felt like I was finally getting discovered by the community. Safe to say that this was the video that inspired me to get serious about editing.

Good thread, Fatal.

No  way did you make that in imovie! If this is true, that's seriously impressive

It's true, not just this but everything I did before October 2015 was made on iMovie '09. I updated to iMovie 10 when I got my new computer and made SHER and his buddy's competitive H4 tage, then finally upgraded to FCP X once I decided to get serious about video making.

Also made with iMovie...

this video always manages to give me a warm feeling on the inside because i think the end product is just too satisfactory compared to all the bullshit we went through just to get it out. also, because I got to make a fucking awesome montage with a bunch of friends and awesome halo players. it just really captures that 2007/2008 Halo 2 tage feel. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2agkxPT-7g

also, i support Dying Breed 2

I'd start watching from 4:20, speaking in retrospect. I'm on my phone now, not sure if the link works. http://youtu.be/RqArveQhfTE
