one of my favorite video game trailers
I’ve always loved action dramas, and I‘m a huge fan of scifi. Saving Privet Ryan is one of my all time favorite movies, and not just because it’s about WWII. I love watching gamers play video games that have a good script, like Halo and Portal, because some of those games are fairly interesting. I’m not a good gamer, and I hardly ever play, but I can sit for hours watching people play. I do play some games, I have American McGee’s Alice on my computer and I play Portal because the scrip is so fucken funny it’s a blast to be in that game.… “the cake is a lie!” *lol*
Anywho, a few weeks ago when I was putting the last touches on my final web site project and needed to embed media in it, I was looking through my files and came across an old favorite trailer of Halo 3. “We Are ODST” the live action is awesome, and I loved everything about it. The music, the script, the visual, the acting, and the theme was overwhelming and made such an impression on me.
The setting is futuristic with alien war, the language is Russian, and the music is Gallic. The music is “Lament - ODST version,” by Light of Aidan. I haven’t been able to find this version in any Halo soundtrack album, nor anywhere else for download. Wish I could find it though, it would a nice song to have. It’s sorta awesome that Halo was the first games that had its own musical score and soundtrack, they also used a full symphony for most of the music in the game.
In the beginning the nameless main character, a symbol of all nameless soldiers, watches as a battle scarred leader bury a dead soldier with wide eyed awe. I would say he is the son of the dead soldier, but he’s not standing next to the woman who receives the flag. The ODST flag is a recurring image, making another appearance and helping to bring the whole story back to the start, a never ending story of battle and life and death. The impact of the first scene on the main character as a boy is lasting, you see him go through initiation, intense training, fighting in battle, and gaining his own battle scars. In a very dramatic style, the viewer becomes aware that the boy has now become the man. In the next and last scene, the funeral is played out once more, however the battle worn leader sending off one of their own is the battle worn and much aged boy, and another wide eyed boy soldier is watching him as he once watched the battle scarred leader from before.
Here is the you tube video of the “We Are ODST” for Halo 3.
