Short Films By Neill Blomkamp

With 'District 9' and now 'Elysium' under his cinematic belt, here are a few early short films from director Neill Blomkamp.

'Tetra Vaal' (2004)
Tetra Vaal is a mocked-up advertisement for robotic police.



'Alive In Joburg' (2005)
The film explores themes of apartheid and is noted for its visual effects as well as its documentary-style imagery, that would later be expanded upon in Blomkamp's 2009 feature film District 9.



'Tempbot' (2006)
Directed by Neill Blomkamp and written by Mark Fitzloff. 'Tempbot' is an Office Space-esque spoof.



'Yellow' (2006)
Adidas created a film series celebrating colour, customisation and personal expression. Each director was given a blank canvas to create a short film based on their emotional and creative response to a given colour - Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Pink, Black or White. Neill Blomkamp took on yellow.



'Halo: Landfall' (2007)
Director Neill Blomkamp explores the lives of Marines and ODSTs on a last, desperate mission in a post-invasion Earth - a mission that may secure the salvation, or usher in the destruction of the entire galaxy.
