"A broken journalist uncovers a daunting secret of his late wife, discovering hidden files and information not meant for public eye.
The man decides to publically uncover these secrets, but soon gets caught up in something bigger then himself."

Welcome to 'Incognito', a Halo fan-project of mine. It tells a story of a journalist, happening to find himself in a position that allows him to find out all about the secrets the government holds back.
The project started at the end of my last internship in college, which opened my eyes in the terms of Adobe After Effects and it's capabilities of storytelling. Previously, I mainly used it for editing pre-rendered animation sequences, but as it stands now, it's just as capable of telling a story if handled right.
Halo is a vast universe in which anything can happen, proven by the games and books in which some very fictional things happen. With this project, I wanted to aim for a more realistic approach to an occurrence that happens often in the canon. One man snooping around too much and being caught in something bigger then himself.
Ultimately, this has been mainly inspired by 'Hunt The Truth', a marketing audio campaign to both market Halo 5 as well as an addition to the Halo canon universe. In these audiobook, if you will, a reporter documents the history and accomplishments of the Halo games' usual primary antagonist. However, as he delves more into it, he finds out that the contacts given to him are telling a pre-fabricated story as he gets caught up in something bigger then himself.
