''Halo: Faith'' was inspired in early 2010, when Jared Pelletier was approached to direct a short film based on [[Wikipedia:James Cameron|James Cameron]]'s ''[[Wikipedia:Avatar (2009 film)|Avatar]]''. Pelletier said of the project: "The goal of the film was to showcase unprecedented visual effects for a micro-budget film exhibited exclusively on YouTube. That project never came to be, but the idea of creating something incredibly ambitious and revolutionary was inspiring. I wanted to set the standard in this category."<ref name="4D Fiction"/> | |||
A script was written by Jake Commons, but was discarded after finding the first few days of shooting of it didn't translate into a cohesive narrative. Instead a new script was written by Erik Tallek, ''Faith'''s director of photography, while keeping some of Common's touches. The story would not fully adhere to the ''Halo'' canon, but chose to be its own story while maintaining the basic feel behind the franchise. Most of the focus would be on the Spartans, who Pelletier felt were the series's backbone, and what made it unique from other science-fiction franchises. | A script was written by Jake Commons, but was discarded after finding the first few days of shooting of it didn't translate into a cohesive narrative.
