The website takes the form of the [[ONI Candidate Assessment Program V5.02A]], a program with video screens on the left and right, a search bar with multiple key words related to the interview, and various monitors of the applicant's status. The video of the interview itself is shown on the left side of the panel, while the screen on the right side shows the current thoughts of the applicant. Below the screens, interviews of the three Marines can be selected.

==Behind the scenes==
==Production notes==
Several of the memory scenes were filmed at the same location as ''The Life''. Special effects where done by Matthew Law.<ref>[http://matthewlaw.blogspot.co.uk/2009_09_01_archive.html '''matthews blog''']</ref> The part of Romeo's interview where he remembers an assassination mission is likely filmed in the same place that hosted [[K. Stark]]'s funeral in ''The Life''. The set is actually the interior of a Hungarian nuclear power plant's cooling tower. Several other filming locations appear to be the same as well.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qghs2-4fwT4 '''Youtube''': ''Halo ODST TV Ad: Behind the Scenes'']</ref>

The principal characters and numerous extras are filmed in live-action. The squad members are portrayed by different actors than their in-game counterparts, even Buck, despite his appearance being modeled on his voice actor, [[Nathan Fillion]].
