The Little CJ character is some amazing CGI. This a great short. No wonder D9 was a great film.. Can you imagine your very first feature gets nominated for an Academy Award ?
@fredannett Not even one Academy Award - four! One of those being "Best Picture". Think about what an honor it is - your first feature film, out of all the hundreds of films created in 2009, could possibly be named the best film of the year.
@DesiBaavo69 Neil Blomkamp, him and Peter Jackson were to work on the Halo movie together but after that fell apart they still wanted to work with each other and decided to expand this short film into a full length movie to fufil that want
@jadooindia You have to remember that District 9 was filmed in abandoned places. The camera's were low budget and they only used one cgi actor during the whole process. But nevertheless it is a good movie.
yes... district 9 is actually an expanded version of this short film... it was pretty much the influence... you even see the main character from district 9 at 3:18

The budget and the success of D9 should serve as a wake up call to directors like michael bay and george lucas.
This proves that budget needn't be restraint for 'cgi creativity'.

This is so realistic, so life-close! It's like, if a situation like this happened on Earth, it would happen like this.
