    Why is it taking so long to make an actual Halo Movie? With all these short movies that have been made over the life span of Halo. With 'Birth of a Spartan' and the likes.

    If they need to put all these people in a room together and get it made.

    hands up from everyone who thought the trailer represented events from the reach game. I was somewhat baffled to find out these events take place on some other planet (this is how kat loses her arm), and the guy with the jetpack is the one Six replaces. the trailers for the halo games are always excellent - especially the live stuff - but there's always been such a peculiar disconnect between the ad content and the content of the games themselves.

    also: make a bloody film already.

    / edit, because "hand up everyone" sounds like it fell out of a copy of Viz.

    I'm impressed; it seems like a lot less was pure CGI than I had assumed! The costumes and props are fantastic and you'd certainly think they wouldn't have bothered with wire work for the jetpack sequence.

    And that's the shame about effects-driven cinematography nowadays: because it's possible to create literally anything you want on the screen using a computer, whenever anyone produces something amazing and convincing using traditional methods (all or in part), it's equally easy for the audience to 'dismiss' it as all-out CGI. That's not to say that CGI is a soft (or cheap) option, but when I ask 'how the heck did you do that?' I find 'with computers' to be a very uninteresting answer. I'm always fascinated about any kind of old-fashioned craftsmanship, from an age where you got nothing on the screen for free.
