Despite the simplicity of the short, and its apparent purpose as an ad for [[Halo 3]], it creates some possibility of what the [[Halo Movie]] may look like. Neill Blomkamp, the director of the short, is also set to direct the Halo movie, and would likely use some of the developed graphics from the video for the movie.

Halo: Arms Race is a short video created in collaboration with Bungie Studios, Neill Blomkamp, WETA Workshop and Origami Digital LLC depicting the first real time images of the Halo series. Released on July 10, 2007 at Bungie.net only hours after the Halo 3 E3 2007 Trailer, the video is intended primarily as an experiment to test Halo's real-world media potential as well as advertise for the upcoming Halo 3. It runs for 1 minute 52 seconds[1].
Synopsis
The video contains no dialogue, instead narrating with text from a computer. It begins with the request from a UNSC Battle Group, Sol Defense Group 3/A-5 requesting repair and resupply. The video then goes on to show production of Sniper Rifles, Marine and ODST helmets, Warthogs, Pelicans, Battle Rifles, and M6G Magnums on the assembly line. It also shows several shots of what is assumed to be the conscription of UNSC Marines into a unit called S4/BAG/2/5, and them arming themselves to fight, before ending with "Halo 3, Finish the Fight." It has also been agreed that if this is a test than it passed with flying colors as the animation looks nearly life like and it is hard to tell what is digital and what is real.
Preview of the Halo Movie?
Despite the simplicity of the short, and its apparent purpose as an ad for Halo 3, it creates some possibility of what the Halo Movie may look like. Neill Blomkamp, the director of the short, is also set to direct the Halo movie, and would likely use some of the developed graphics from the video for the movie. Though most of the short is computer generated, several full size props appear to have been constructed, including full Marine uniforms and weapons. In addition, the short was released five days after it was announced that the Halo movie would resume production under the sponsorship of FOX[2].
