My Grandfather was a Desert Ranger, my Father was a Veteran Ranger in the NCR. My father was killed by Caesar's Legion and they took my Brother. It's now my responsibility to uphold the mantle of the Rangers and avenge my Father and find my Brother.

What are the rewards? I hope it's cool props! I want me a SMG!

Our troops are facing towards the Sun,
Stepping on the earth of Motherland,
Carrying the nation's hope,
We are an indomitable power!
Our troops are facing towards the Sun;
Marching towards the final victory
And the liberation of entire country!

Heres stuff written by the Author,

this guys name is Dan Wong or Wang or something, hes got current donators and you can check on the site for their names and the legitimacy,

Our Story

My name is Dan Wang. I'm a director and producer from a group of filmmakers called Method Pictures. I first started shooting films in late 2009 when I bought a DSLR that could shoot HD video. Since then I've done a couple local car commercials and recently two short films that have been moderately successful at film festivals. But since the start of my career, my goal has been to successfully make a Halo film.
Halo: Helljumper

Halo is a popular video game backed by a huge universe and tremendous storyline. It's hard to tell even a faction of the story without having to read countless hours of Halopedia. That's why I believe that the best way to tell the story in pieces, like a series. But every series needs a pilot, and that's what we're trying to accomplish with this project. With a little research, we've decided to base our film loosely on the short story, "Dirt" by Tobias Buckell.

With Halo: Helljumper, we want to take you through the life of an ODST that's been lucky enough to see it all. Gage Yevgenny joins the UNSC before the Human-Covenant War and fights his way through 27 years before coming to a crossroads with his own conscience. In this time, he witnesses first hand, the cruelty of war, what it took from him as well as the war's ability to create hope.

In this particular pilot film, Gage is at the end of his road, telling the story of his life and attempting to inspire hope to a young ODST, the Rookie. Throughout the film, Gage regrettably leaves his father on colony of Harvest, joins the UNSC and then eventually becomes an ODST. However, during his first year as an ODST, the Covenant declare war on the human race and the first planet that is hit, is Harvest. Homesick and desperate to reconcile his mistakes with his father, he volunteers with his squad to help evacuate civilians in hopes of finding him.
What We Need & Why

We're currently in the pre-production stages of the film and plan on starting production in the early half of September. However, everyone knows that making movies is not cheap, and Halo is certainly no exception. I've already invested 20,000 of my own dollars into purchasing all the props (which include four (4) full ODST suits, five (5) Marine suits, and corresponding weapon props), pre-production costs (such as casting and storyboarding), and hiring a 3D animation team to build the CG effects and Covenant in the film.

Unfortunately, it's not enough. My budget currently is not capable of feeding a projected cast and crew of 50 people for the 8 full shooting days that we have planned. The additional $20,000 that I am looking to raise would help us cover:
- On-set production costs (such as transportation, travel, and catering expenses)
- Paying salaries to specialized departments (such as Soundtrack Composers, Make-up Artists and Set Designers)
- Hard-to-Obtain film locations and set design
- Backup props (in case the primary ones break or malfunction)
- Equipment rentals (though we own some equipment, we need to rent certain crucial pieces of equipment for several complex shots that are planned).

Hopefully, you can help us reach our goal so that we can successfully shoot an epic Halo film that everyone has been raving for. If we don't reach our goal, we will still attempt to produce the film to it's full extent by trying to cut costs at whatever we can (i.e. no backup props and possibly less awesome film locations)

Other Ways You Can Help

Donating money is not the only way you can help us succeed in creating a great Halo film. We would also really appreciate it if you helped spread the word about this production to anyone you know that may be interested. Don't forget to share on Twitter and Facebook. There are many, many Halo fans out there, that I am sure would love to finally see a good live action film.

-.-
it says "spartan-II: $5000"
the title of spartan-II is givin to people who donate that much money, they arent spending $5000 on making a Spartan suit. theres no forerunners in the movies and why would they need $10,000 to make one?
the ranking system for people who donate is grunt - forerunner
where grunts get the least benefits and forerunners get the most, then theres all the in between.
