HaloRadar: Machinima Academy Awards
For Outstanding Achievement in Saved Film. We honor the five best directors
1st Place...Darkspire Films
Quality.Quantity.Diversity.Darkspire offers the entire entertainment package. To be honest, though, they probably would have ended up the winners even if they'd only made the following clip - "More Blood." Adding buckets of guts and gore to Halo is a fantastic concept, but making it look almost believable is what's really impressive.
"More Blood"
The directors at Darkspire are also blessed with a subtle comedic touch that other machinima makers lack. They don't push obvious jokes in your face. Take this clip, which is inexplicably sublime.
"What's Going On?!"
