Praetoria is the next visually-stunning CGI sci-fi short from Neill Blomkamp and his Oats Studios. There’s still no clear plot in this video since they’re still “testing the water” but it appears the District 9 director is experimenting with some original ideas as he’s done for his last few shorts.
