These ''Halo'' shorts were intended as promotional material for the then-upcoming ''[[Halo 3]]'' game, drawing interest to its release. | '''Halo: Landfall''' was a group of three short live action films created in collaboration with [[Bungie|Bungie Studios]], [[Neill Blomkamp]], [[Wikipedia:Weta Digital|Weta Digital]], and [[Origami Digital LLC]].
