Neill Blomkamp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neill Blomkamp is a Vancouver-based director of short films and advertisements. Blomkamp employs a documentary-style, hand-held, cinéma vérité technique, blending seamlessly with naturalistic and photo-realistic computer-generated imagery effects. He was hired to direct the movie adaptation of the hit video game Halo, but rising costs and increasing financial risk caused Universal Studios and 20th Century Fox to drop the film.
