Check out the above behind-the-scenes featurette detailing how the ODST live action commercial was made.

Given how good fan films look these days, it's a little surprising when you come across a massive undertaking like this. But given that it's for Halo, I shouldn't be surprised. Shot inside inside the cooling tower of an active nuclear power plant? Hungarian special forces? A full-size animatronic brute with a custom-built spike gun? There's even a deleted scene. That's right. A commercial has a deleted scene.
