Cant wait to see him in the movie. He is right though, Weta Workshop and Weta Digital are the best in the business. I cant wait to see what they do with the Hobbit movies.

Weta Workshop is awesome, they do a lot of these kinds of things.

Westerners??? Isn't Weta Workshop in New Zealand???

My favorite part is his compulsion to mimic the game's animations of reloading the weapons.
Yeah, that was what struck me the most about this, not only has he gone to the effort of reproducing the bulk of he available weapons, he has the postures, poses, and animations down well enough that he could probably be a stand-in for the mo-cap actor.
That level of obsession with detail would serve him well in the game industry. When he gets older, I think he should submit this with his resume when he applies to work for Bungie.
Otherwise, this just might come in handy for his insanity plea...should he need one, of course.


Hmm, he seems more like a hands-on type of person to me. I worked in games for years and even the artists complain that they don't get enough chances to do "real" art (real as opposed to virtual art). Mostly you sit in front of a computer all day long, regardless of whether you're a programmer, designer, or artist. He seems more suited for movie-making--set and costume design--where both the attention to detail and hands-on know-how will serve him well. I'd see him easily fitting in at say Weta Workshop or Lucasfilm.

It's not a separate production. From Weta:

Weta Workshop are supplying a range of products for all the Halo shorts, in a collaboration between Bungie Studios, director Neill Blomkamp, Weta Workshop, Origami Digital LLC and HT Limited.

We have created a fully functioning four wheel drive Warthog, with a working gun, digital displays, airbags and the ability for the Warthog to crab crawl as well as four wheel steer.
