In nuce: Who remembers the dawn of the noughties when Halo: Combat Evolved from Bungie Studios was strapped to Microsoft’s games console as an Xbox-exclusive title? More than two decades have passed since then – and Halo has recently leapt from the gaming cosmos into the streaming stratosphere. MPC has published a VFX breakdown of the series spectacle. VFX house MPC was involved with over 400 shots in translating the popular sci-fi video game series into a series format, which celebrated its premiere on Paramount’s streaming platform in March of this year.
What is the Halo series about? As in the original game, Halo tells the story of the warlike conflict between humanity and an alien civilisation called the Covenant. According to the description of the VFX breakdown, Halo aims to captivate with a mixture of action and drama, as well as a fictional vision of the 26th century in which the series is set. Of course, John-117, aka Master Chief, the iconic protagonist from the game series, will always be there.
