Well, that’s it – the Operation Chastity teaser trailer, filmed on the RED One over the past weekend across the South of England, has wrapped. We can now look forward to a whole lot of VFX work!
The shoot itself was beyond extraordinary, in terms of both quality and scale. With a massive cast and crew on a set that wouldn’t have looked out of place on the lot of a multi-million dollar summer blockbuster, it didn’t feel like I was on the set of a fan film at all. To have this as my first foray into film making, I am indeed a very lucky guy!
I was like a kid in a candy store, a lot of the time. Seeing Marines humping their gear from location to location, the Warthog wheeling up into frame. It’s hard to put it all into words. It was awesome. No, correction. It was EPIC.
Needless to say, it was an absolute blast seeing the Halo universe coming to life before our very eyes. The level of excitement on set was intense. Both the cast and crew were amazing people to work with, and without every last one of them, what we achieved would not have been possible. All I can say is thanks – you guys were the bomb.
We’ll be giving further updates over the coming months as post-production continues. In the mean time, keep your ammo dry, stay frosty, and keep checking back! We have a lot of stuff in store for you.
