This should have been the look of the recent series.

I remember when I first saw this short film online, I was extremely excited about the possibility of it becoming a full length feature film. Neil Blomkamp perfectly captured the look and feel of the Halo universe out to that point. I can't but feel disappointed of what was finally in the Halo series. I keep coming to this and the "Deliver Hope" ad, as the definitive example and the "should have been" of a Halo TV or cinematic.production.

Very good short film!

We see Blomkamp take a very interesting path when shooting this film. Shows the desperate lengths the UNSC went through to find Master Chief and shot brilliantly

Trivia
This short originated as test footage meant for the since canceled Halo movie. Director Neil Blomkamp was frustrated with how slow development was going so he used some of the money meant for the film and shot this as a means to use as a trailer. Despite positive response from Bungie, Microsoft, producer Peter Jackson, and even fans of the game, it was simply not enough for Universal and 20th Century Fox, who quickly pulled the plug on the project when both Blomkamp and Jackson asked for more money. Feeling sour about the situation, Jackson and his production company used the 30 million that had already been invested to fund what would become District 9 (2009).
