ViDoc

"ViDocs" are seven minute video documentaries (except for Journey's End) occasionally released by Bungie Studios. These videos give players insight into the creative development processes involved in the progress of Halo 3 and, more recently, Halo 3: ODST.

Contrary to popular belief, ViDoc does not actually stand for "video documentary"; it is a Bungie-created combination of the words "visual", "informational", and "documentation". Each ViDoc has a title in Latin (except for Journey's End) that is, somehow, related to the content of the videos. These videos also contain interviews of various Bungie employees working on that aspect of Halo 3, and a great deal of game footage.
