Orions Spartans is a flash-based series of short animations set in the Halo universe which focusses on the exploits of a group of Spartan Soldiers.

Origins

 * "Well I never really intended to do a series based on the clan, it sort of just turned out that way on it's own."

Back when I was still in high school (probably around 2005-2006), I loved playing Halo 2. I liked playing the campaign and for me there were so many memorable moments. But more than anything I loved playing it on XBL with my friends.

Now I'm not the best person to talk about OS's online origins (since I never had a X-Box of my own until the 360 came out), but from what I can remember the founding fathers of the clan were:


 * Enzer0 (later OS Enzero)


 * Jessus 99 (later OS Orion)


 * Albert Wooten (later OS Wooten)


 * Evil Mouse (currently MIA)

I was never there to witness the joining of these legendary individuals, but from I what I heard they met in combat and became brothers in arms from that day forward Orions Spartans was born. Despite this I became a member of the clan (as did many others) through my friendship with Enzo.

So one day I decided to try and make a Halo animation, but all it ever amounted to was a Flash file full of Spartan character models and some weapons. Then I showed them to my friend Enzo (the guy who got me into playing Halo 2 on XBL in the first place), I gave him a copy of the file so he could fool around with them.

About a week later I went over to his house, he said he had something he wanted to show me. He loaded up Flash and pressed play. What followed was the starting sequence for an animation that would be Orions Spartans part 1. Needless to say back then I was surpirsed, my own character models were moving before my very eyes and there was some element of a story behind them.

After the sequence had finished Enzo looked to me and said

"Wanna make a Halo animation?"

I immediately said

"Yep"

And the rest they say is history
