On September 26th at the Berwaldhallen concert hall in Stockholm Sweden, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra will play an interepretation of Martin O´Donnells and Michael Salvatoris's Halo music, the rock band The Backyard Babies will play Halo-inspired music, a Swedish film director's Halo machinima film will be shown, and dancers from the Royal Swedish Ballet will perform a Halo interpretive dance, with Master Chief dancing along. As you can see in the video, a lot of work has gone into making sure old MC can keep up with the ballet company, and put in context the video isn't nearly as disturbing as if I had just dropped it in your laps and said, "Here, he dances." In retrospect, I probably should have done just that. Oh well, hindsight and all that. For more details on the

No good can come of this.
I think I speak for everyone when I say "wtf."
So, who is the first person who has the balls to tell me that Halo isn't overhyped at this point?
@Anemone: at least it isn't cramming it down and down my throat, this is 'almost' a breath of fresh air after being told constantly about it
@Anemone: I'm still waiting on Halo - the Coloring Book, Halo - the Lunch box, Halo - the Breakfast Cereal, Halo - the Flame Thrower...
Yeah, I used to think that the Halo 3 adverts weren't as bad a everyone made them out to be. But this video confirms it: Halo 3 is over-hyped.
But at least this isn't the doing of MS.
Halo music is awesome and deserves a chance like this.
Yes, Halo 3 is overhyped though. Doesn't mean it's not going to be awesome.
I tolerated the drinks...i put up with the food....but microsoft,fuck off with the amount of HAlo your cramming down our throats.
Do you even know who your marketing to now!?WHY IS MASTER CHIEF DANCING!?Who is gonna see this and say...wow Halo3 is worth my money now.Actually il tell you who,dumbasses who think halo3 comes with a dance mat.
Hurry up and release the game just so the advertising will die.Or at least put a bitta money into MAss Effects advertising,Halo doesnt need this,Mass effect looks like it deserves to be shown to every man woman and child on this earth.
I assume a Haruhi dance version is next in line.
LOL @ everyone getting so bent out of shape about having Halo 3 "crammed down our throats" when the majority of this shit is read, of your own free will, on sites like Kotaku.
I still have yet to see more than a couple poster ads for the game anywhere. The only time I hear about Halo 3 being over-hyped is when I read Kotaku, or hear someone bitch about it somewhere.
Das is not stackenblocken!
@Hoogie: That would be pretty funny. Have the chief dancing with the Arbiter and Johnson. Dunno who the other two would be though.
This is the first time I'm glad my roommate's 360 doesn't work. I'm so fucking sick of hearing about Halo 3.
Make it stop! Please!
Greatest... game... ever!
I wish this would have been posted with the the Halo 3 ending article. That could've triggered some priceless comments.
Overall, this disturbs me.
@Citan359: You mean.. Master Chief doesn't really go to candy mountain? :(
That animation looked like crap...
What is this Halo you speak of?
I find it strange that Bungie didn't donate their own 3-D chief model for the dance. This either means that this isn't being funded by Microsoft or they have finally met their 10 million advertising budget. I assume the latter.
Master Chief is a woman! METROID homage!
I hate Halo.
That said......this is a fuckin great idea.
Damn....those were some slick moves. I'd love to see an orchestra interpretation; add Master Chief dancing and it's fucking gold.
I don't get it, Master Chiefs armour is mostly geometric, yet he was using Z-brush to sculpt it? why!?
also, yeah, overhyped etc. etc.
So... Do the chiefs' legs pass through each other's arms on purpose?
I'm not going to acknowledge an hype/over-hype scenario here, too juvenile. I would like to know one thing: who are they trying to market it this to?
I mean really... I can understand the soda, burgers, cars, toys, commercials, ect... but who are they trying to reach with this?
What is the purpose of the Master Chief doing an interpretative dance? Who is going to say, "Yeah, that makes me want to shoot aliens and save the human race!"
I ordered tickets for this concert!, I thought it was going to be a pure orchestrated orgasm of the halo soundtracks, AND WHAT THE HELL BECAME OF IT?
I'm not even sure I can return them, but I will promptly use the tickets at my next toiletvisit.
@RRRansom: The standard MC model has too much body mass to fit to this style of dancing, they've cut out a fair amount of his armour to give the mesh more flexibility.
I do hope that the render at the end of the video was far from final, there were all sorts of things wrong with it (arms going through legs, rotating the wrong way etc).
interpretive dance = bollocks anyway.
this is stupid.
I am scared, so very very scared. D:
This Halo marketing campaign is getting out of control. Next we will see Microsoft Windows Vista: Halo Edition or Vista HE for short.
