From stazima and submitted by GrimBrother One:

Trying something a little different. Decided to make an artistic Halo video showcasing the beauty of Halo by employing an effect that makes everything look all miniature (Tilt-Shift). Features gameplay from Halo: Reach and Halo 3. Edited in Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premier Pro. I know it is not nearly a perfect tilt-shift effect but I made an honest attempt at it and I hope you can appreciate that!
