I voted No Scope Was Involved.
I voted No Scope Was Involved too.
I’ll keep my vote secret and safe for now. :D
Guy, gal, Villian. Cool vid!
HE GOOOOOT A……….
How many times have you said that in matchmaking?
my point exactly
Vote cast. :)
I went with No Scope Was Involved, hilarious!
Gal Guy And Villian got my vote
“Oh So Beautiful.” I feel like there is not enough appreciation of the time that Bungie’s artists put into the game, and this is a great tribute.
Always enjoyed the “Oh So Beautiful” series.
Argh! Too many good ones. I picked Without Providence. It wa done really, really well. Thoughtfully epic.
No Scope Was Involved, hands down.
OSB. I agree with Foman. They put loads of detail into the game that a lot of players probably have never noticed.
Gal, Guy, and Villian. Nintendo themes + Randomness + Halo = Win
Bag Boy. WWMCD Bracelet :P
LAWL=vote.
I voted for “He got a no-scope” here. The video was so random and hilarious, who couldn’t love it?
No Scope was involved was so original and freaking hilarious! I loved how the song was played out then at the end, “I got a no-scope too…” “He got a…”
I always use to sing that whenever I got a no-scope in H3. God I love that video…
No Scope was involved, no questions asked. I found out about it while playing with a bunch of Hawtites and I got a Noscope on that very map on that very ramp and I said “Woot! I got a noscope!” and all of a sudden about 5 guys start singing into their headsets “Heeeee gotttt aaaaaa Noooo Scoooooppe!” and I became very very very confused and they summarily pointed me to the video, at which point I lulz’d for a very long time.
Hahaha no scope.
Oh So Beautiful. A rare look at the things you miss amidst all the explosions and teabagging and whatnot.
Bag Boy! I love Smooth Few Films their stuff is awesome.
No Scope Was Involved was absolutely freakin’ hilarious!
voted
LOL @ Penguin, I think I was one of those guys. Soon followed up by WORT WORT WORT!
Sad face, my Banadu video wasn’t a nominee :( Lol
But ultimately I went with Bag Boy… “STEVEN! What would your mother think!?” LOL I loved that guy.
Oh so beautiful reminded me of overlooked beauties in halo 3.
Darkspire all the way. :D
Bag boy, it made it on to my iPod. Thats saying something
Voted!
No scope was involved. It’s Legendary. Maybe even Mythic.
Oh so beautiful
Voted!
You got my vote :)
Clearly No Scope, always makes me laugh.
Oh so beautiful was fantastic!
No Scope…in fact, I’m going to go watch it again now just because!
i voted for the dougroup vid…..
No contest … vote goes to NoScope.
“He got a no scope…… he didn’t scope his gun”
This was the hardest one to vote for. I absolutely loved 3 of them:
Gal, Guy, and Villain
Oh So Beautiful – Halo 3 Edition
Without Providence
However, if I had to choose one, I’d choose Without Providence. How such a short film can have such an epic feel I don’t know. But they managed it.
HE GOT A NOOOOOOOOOOOSCOPE!!!!!
Yes, the no scope song is QUITE catchy, but it really didn’t do much in my opinion. It was merely a clever little song, the “Video” aspect wasn’t really all that great. I’m going to have to give my vote to “Blackstone [Log 1]“
Blackstone did what most machinima’s lack. It gave AMAZING audio to an even better video. Not many of you guys know this, but Blackstone was also nominated for an award at the 2008 Machinima Awards. Although it didn’t win, I do feel like it should have. Blackstones’s video editing was top notch, and it’s use of first person view was well done (better than Mr. DigitalPh33r in my opinion.)
Dispatch film’s proved themselves as an amazing production team with this video and I am always on the look out for their next video.
Blackstone here too.
no scope was involved
LOL
Voted No Scope Was Involved :)
No Scope Was Involved. I seriously rofled for about 3 minutes when I heard the song. Everyone has seen it, heard it, and sings it. Definitely gets my vote, as well as pretty much everyone here. :)
No Scope.
:P
Voted!
ahaha Bagboy i love it
Voted for Oh so beautiful- halo 3 edition.
Why? Cause Halo 3 is awesome and looks amazing!
It was a hard vote, but I had to go with No Scope Was Involved.
It reached cult status. What can I say about that? ^.^
I once got a no scope. Yep, true story. That’s why I voted for them.
Voted. We have a clear winner here in my opinion…
Voted.
Out of all the videos, No Scope Was Involved is the only video I can’t get out of my head. I love watching this video and love watching it often….. in a non-creepy-stalky sort of way…… DON’T JUDGE ME!!!!!
I have to say Bag Boy is awesome.
I voted for the thing i found most innovative and groundbreaking the halo way xD :P.
I voted for Oh So Beautiful
Gal, Guy and Villain!!!
I love the ideas behind what they did such as using different armour effects for Pokemon such as the powerdrain. The mario scene was great at the end lol
lol go blackstone!!
the Bag Boy was hilarious. They deserve something special. Like my vote.
no scope… just wrong and i hate when it happens to me… but something i cant do and respect greatly
I voted for Guy, Gal, and Villain. It flowed very smoothly, was very funny, and was unique. The audio matched well, and spoofs on games i played as a kid are always funny to me. It points out just how straightforward Nintendo games were (princess gets captured, you have to save her)…lol. I loved Guy, Gal, and Villain because it never gets old.
Guy, Gal, Villain.
=X meh not saying nothing
I voted “Oh So Beautiful” for it’s originality
I voted for “Gal, Guy, and Villain,” because it was the first video to parody other video games inside of another video game. It was hilarious, it had a good script, nice camera angles, and the one thing that should win everyone’s vote: Peppy told him to do a barrell roll. Guess what? He didn’t. Guess what happened because of it? He exploded. That’s what you get for not listening to Peppy.
He got a Noooooo Scooooooope.
He’s dead, he shot him in the head.
“Gal, Guy, and Villain.” It’s like a short movie! Never fails to make me laugh!
VOTED
“Was there any scope involvled? I… I don’t think so!”
“DID HE JUST GET A NOSCOPE?”
No-Scope. By the end I was laughing out loud!
the gal guy villion was hillariouse, it brought back awsomes memories and made me ROFL
voooooted, not veeeetoed. LOLOLOL
I voted No Scope Was Involved
No Scope evolutions awesome
It’s a hard choice between Bag boy and No-scope.
I guess Bag boy wins because of it’s genuis lines and crazy humor.
No-scope makes me laugh too but in this fight Bag boy wins.
Deifinitly no scope was involved
HE GOT A NOOOO SCOPE
No scope was involved! that song’s on my ipod!
i vote no scope
So many good vids, too bad we had to pick just one.
No Scope was OK
No Scope Was Involved. It just…makes the most sense. haha
I voted for “He got a…. No Scope!”
OMG, nintendo halo 3 LOL, so FUNNY, and EPIC
OH SO BEAUTIFUL FTW!
he got a no scope!
do I need to say any more?
No scope was involved? I voted for that because i thought it was the most original Machinima ever….and ever
No scoping was involved gets my vote..
No scope was involved. Never have i heard a song more widely sung throughout matchmaking. i hear it at least once every time i play matchmaking and get a noscope
I voted!
Oh So Beautiful, I noticed all of the scenery but I just wasn’t able to slow down to take it in, wow what I missed half heartedly just to save the planet.
He got a noooooo scope! It is funny because it is true.
Okay.I have a pretty good idea what the community likes but once again I beg to differ.Without Providence was beautiful.Very well done.There are two reasons why I liked this one.#1 is that this can happen at any given time.By the Government or a crazed group.Showing you that there is always somebody that dosent like you so watch out.#2 is that it reminded me about No Country For Old Men.I liked that movie.Hehe.
i thought there would be other canidates in this one. i dont know a few of these.
this was a hard one
No Scope for me.
I love the No Scope Vid. xD
“Heeeee gooooootttt aaaaa noooooo scope, he didn’t scope his gun.” Very funny video but close between gal, guy, and villian
I have to go with no scope was involved its just hilarious but the guy gal and villanin one is also very funny
he…got…a…
the bag boy was a film short for the ages… i laughed i cried then i laughed so hard i cried. my face was melted by the urber awesomness of this short motion picture.
no scope for the win. like really that was one of the most addicting songs ever also the matchmaking series is one of the funiest series ever.
I voted No Scope Was Involved.
Without providence I say with confidence.
It truly is so beautiful…
“oh so beautiful” great tribute.
Gal guy and villain got my vote, first time i saw it and it was hillarious!!!
Oh So Beautiful was awesome. :P
No Scope FTW. That video comes to mind every time I get a no scope.
No Scope Was Involved!
Gal, Guy, Villain …. tooooo FUNNY!
Never tweaked harder in my life then for Guy Gal Villian
I voted for Noscope was Involved, just because it was hilarious, and it was much different than the rest of their Matchmaking series. I am dissapointed that none of DigitalPh33r’s work is being recognized, he has produced many great series this year.
no scope, it was so funny and it just gets funnier. i love the guy with the rocket launcher towards the start of the movie.
Oh so Beautiful cuz its original and Unique :D
Guy, Gal, and the Villian. Lol this video was pretty great. It put Halo in the position as if it had the essensce of other great games from back in the day. Pokemon, Star Fox, Legend of Zelda, Pac-man, Final Fantasy. It was like an awesome adeventure/comedic/action-packed mini-movie. Using Halo as the main setting with little allusions of other video games. It made me laugh and also didn’t leave me not wanting more. I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. I believe this video should win, but good luck to all other nominees.
Gal Guy and Villain
there were a few good ones on there, voting was hard. but bag boy got my vote. it was hilarious.
The one in wich a feature wasnt involved
Oh So Beautiful was pretty good. It really makes you appreciate all of the time and money Bungie Studios put into making Halo 3.
no scope was involved! priceless!
Do a barrel roll!
I Voted.
No Scope Was Involved!!!!! Great video, have it as my ringtone. =)
Looks like I’m a member of a very small minority. I voted for “Without Providence” based on the very strong camera work and editing. No Scope is a favorite of mine and “Guy, Gal and Villain” is a new addition to my fave list, but WP is just so damn beautifully done that even humor can’t overcome it.
If youve seen Without Providence you would know the effort the Duo Group put into that awesome video
no scope was invovled
Definately Bag Boy: Let’s face it, this is what everyone wants to tell the little kids that ‘bag. Just say no.
Oh So Beautiful. Shows the Ture in game graphics are great if you would just look more closer.
I voted
The Bag Boy. Father and Son, Great Moments.
No scope :D!
No scope is awesome to watch i love it
the song is sooo catchy ” he got a nooooscoooppeee”
Voted
Guy, Gal, Villan – funny video, it gets my vote
it was either the bag boy or no scope was involved but i went with no scope
once again i went with the one that made me laugh the most and that is no scope.
Gal, Guy and Villian, to good to be true :D
THE BAG BOY! Ahahaha, man, I nearly pissed my pants when I saw. Pure Awesome. I had to vote for that. It’s the best one ever. It never gets old. If you never saw it before, you have to see it.
Had to go with Oh So Beautiful on this one. It was a tough choice, but ultimately I feel that was the best.
Oh so butifull. Finally someone seing the buty of halo
No Scope Was Involved. XD
No Scope just made ROFLMAO! haha…bar none the funniest…haha
No Scope was Involved – Best
It’s so true that people are like that when they no scope, was hilarious
My vote wil have to go for the noscopes video, i love watching crazy noscopes and always try to get em in the head myself :)
i voted no scope song ftw
‘Oh So Beautiful – Halo 3 Edition’ is an impressive video even if it is simple. It basically shows how well the graphics are in this game, I love it!
Without Providence.
The best video ever created in the Halo trilogy. I was flabbergasted by how much work was put into the video. The scene where the character looks out at the desert below and is greeted by the sight of a massive war effort comprised of hundreds of soldiers and vehicles left me breathless. The Duo Group puts the same effort into all their other videos and had their other short, Knocking on Heaven’s Door been an option, I would have voted for it. I urge everyone who has not yet voted, to please acquaint yourself with The Duo Group (http://theduogroup.com/).
Voted, yes.
no scope was involved nuff sed
Blackstone gets my vote.
Gal, Guy, and Villain. Blackstone was a close second though.
bagboy was great
“He used No Scope” Omg it was just right for the moment,when people were crazy with sniper no scopes.The others realy didn’t catch my attention as much
DAMN that was a hard choice. I’m gonna go with No Scope Involved though.
My vote is secret.
Best video. no scope was involved. I love this video. I saved it to my phone, my ipod, my computor, and i memorized it. All the videos are great. If i had to pick somthing else i would pick bag boy.
as much on each individual category page
The best video by a long shot is no scope was involved. It has that humor, and musical side to it. It makes you want to dance, and when you see them messing around in the video, makes you want to laugh or smile or grin or even smirk.
He got a no scope…
BLACKSTONE FTW!!!1!1
Voted Blackstone. A better video, story wise, audio wise, and most ways in general. Can’t wait for Log 2.
without providence is mega epic
I have no clue about montages but I voted for no-scope cause that is cool! :D
No Scope
It’s just too catchy
I chose Gal, Guy and Villian. As a former Nintendo fangirl myself, I found this video particularly hilarious. All the references to classic Nintendo games really made me laugh :P
I would have chosen Oh So Beautiful since (from the first day I got Halo 3) I have always thought the scenery and backdrops of every campaign mission and matchmaking level are beautiful. However, I felt the video was a bit on the boring side with too many shots of the some of the same scenery. They didn’t even include Avalanche or Blackout!
no scope the song just sticks in your head and makes you wanna get a no scope
Went with No Scope Was Involved, because it needed no talent and everyone deserves an Oscar Award.
Blackstone Log 1 ftw! Anyone can attempt humor in machinima, but it takes talent, creativity and patience to pull off what Dispatch Films did.
Pingback: Battle Shots » Smooth Few Films
No Scope Involved has some good lulz but The Bag Boy would have to be my vote. Yes it was just mostly comedy but it had some nice elements and the others (Blackstone for example) tried to hard.
oh so beautifull deserves to win
Noscope all the way. Sniper rocks plus I love their singing voices.B-E-A-U-tiful.
Bag Boy. The guys from sff r great, u’ve got to see the leet world, it’s awesome http://smoothfewfilms.com/theleetworld/
No Scope Was Involved
Other than Bryan’s songs, I’ve never heard something sung as much over Xbox Live.
I voted in this category.
oh so beautiful – i never actually stop to look at the scenery in halo3, its always too frantic, but what they did when building the game is just incredible. An excellent showcase of the engines capabilities
No Scope Was Involved
OSB FTW!
He got a…..
Oh So Beautiful – Halo 3 Edition
Quantifier said it best…..OSB FTW
