The Sprint – Season 3 Ep. 2 “Press Start”

Posted on by

From Foley to Acting to Music, this episode has that all.

Foley is one job I’d LOVE to have. Making sounds out of things you might not think of to make sounds… I first learn about Foley art when I was a young teen. I was watching a behind the scenes video of how some of the Star Wars sounds were made, specifically the blasters. If I ever had a chance to work in that field, I’d JUMP at it!

As for the actors, I really enjoy seeing the actual people (sans Nathan Fillion in this vid) playing their parts. Does anyone else think Vale looks like a younger version of Bonnie Ross (343 Studio head)?? Continue reading →

Building a Warzone – 343′s Kevin Franklin on Halo 5′s new multiplayer mode

Posted on by

This is a reblog from rocketchainsaw.com.au:

Making a game of the calibre of Halo is no easy undertaking. “We built a lot of momentum crafting the first game,” explains 343 Industries’ Design Director Kevin Franklin. Now onto their second major title in the Halo universe, Franklin concedes that taking over development from original studio Bungie wasn’t easy. “We felt a lot of pressure,” he says, speaking to us about Halo 5 Guardians while taking a quick break at last weekend’s EB Expo.
