Weta Workshop & Bungie Halo videos

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Bungie Studios, director Neill Blomkamp, Weta Workshop, Origami Digital LLC and HT Limited have collaborated to make 3 short Halo clips.

Part One

Part 2

Part 3

Let me know what you think of them. It looks as though Weta Workshop have worked hard to create most of the props such as a fully functioning four wheel drive Warthog, with a working machine gun, digital displays, airbags and the ability for the Warthog to crab crawl as well as four wheel steer. Pretty awesome, if you check out their site also you can see many weapons they made as well as USNC body armour including Spartan.

The videos are a good in-sight into what could be done with such an amazing project. After Lord of the Rings I think Weta are keen to get thier creative teeth into the whole Halo franchise.

‘True Story’

I met and spoke to Richard Taylor (Director of Weta Workshop) briefly at the Return of The King Film premier in London a few years ago and asked him if I could get a job there?! As I expected our conversation abruptly ended with him looking at me horrified at the thought of this and walked off haha! Owell I would have been wasted there anyway!
