Bungie has released the Halo 3 documentary 'short' that it confirmed was in the pipeline earlier in the week. Delivered in video form, the documentary takes us behind the scenes of the creation of the trailer for the sequel that Microsoft showed at this year's E3.

"In this fascinating short," explains the developer, "you'll see some of the teamwork, thought processes and imagination that went into this Halo 3 teaser. You'll see the actual orchestra and choir session, some of the in-studio production work and interviews with some of the key folks who worked on the E3 presentation. You won't see everyone - lots of folks who slaved over hot keyboards to make this trailer a reality were simply too busy to be interviewed - and to them, our heartfelt appreciation."

Bungie also informs that, if we look really, really carefully at the documentary, we can glimpse a hint of things to come - "Nothing too dramatic, but the fans will spot stuff, of that we're certain".
