Check Out Halo Reach "Birth of a Spartan"

The new live-action short from director Noam Murro has hit the airwaves. In a sparse and futuristic world, the soldier destined to lead Noble Team gets injected to become a Spartan warrior.

The sixty second spot moves methodically through a simple scene, ending on a great shot of the soldier's face reflected back in the Spartan's Armor.

If you were wondering, it's not the same director that handled the ODST live-action campaign. That was Rupert Sanders. But despite the switch, I think their new direction was solidly executed. The CG looks smooth, the subtle glances tight, and the world believable. There should be an extended cut available soon, but for now check out this original entry into the Halo universe which is actually just advertising the upcoming Halo: Reach beta which starts on Monday.
