The '''Halo Shorts''' refer to a group of short live action films created in collaboration with [[Bungie Studios]], [[Neill Blomkamp]], [[WETA Digital]], and [[Origami Digital LLC]]. These films were the Halo Franchise's first foray into live action films, followed colosely by the [[Museum]] series of films, the Halo shorts are intended to give both fans and sponsors a preview of what the [[Halo Movie]] could look like, should production be resumed. | |||
==Timeline== | |||
Kept under tight wraps, the set was announced unexpectedly on July 10, 2007 with the release of the first video, '''''[[Halo: Arms Race]]''''' on the front page of [[Bungie.net]]. ''Arms Race'' featured several shots of characters as well as special effects and set props, but little real action. The film was also shown at [[E3 2007]], and with it came promises of additional shorts. | |||
''Arms Race'' was followed up with another film one month later, ''Combat'', released on WETA's webiste in August 2007<ref>[http://www.wetaworkshop.com/projects/filmography/film/halo3 http://www.wetaworkshop.com/projects/filmography/film/halo3]</ref>, telling the story of two [[ODST]] troopers fighting off [[Brutes]] while trying to retrieve an object on the battlefield during the [[Second Battle of Earth]]. | |||
A third film, ''Last One Standing'', was released on November 24, just hours before the release of [[Halo 3]]. This film was released first on the Discovery Channel's website, as part of their promotion for an unrelated show, ''Last One Standing''<ref>[http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/last-one-standing/halo-sweeps/halo-sweeps.html http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/last-one-standing/halo-sweeps/halo-sweeps.html]</ref>. This film continued the story of the two ODSTs in ''Combat'', featuring more weapons, special effects, and live action combat between the [[Marines]] and Brutes, ending with the sight of a fireball descending into the atmosphere, a scene which is the beginning for in Halo 3. | |||
