Do you remember those cool movies that were released around the time of Halo 3

I've always thought of those two cranes from the shorts (above) as naggingly familar to me. And think I've figured out why - as I walked to work the other day I spied in the distance two cranes found at Wellington's Port, CentrePort.
And that was it for me - knowing that Peter Jackson and Neill Blomkamp made the short films in preparation for the production of the Halo movie only a 15 odd minute drive from this spot made me wonder if these cranes in the Wellington Port were used as inspiration for the short, or were even copied directly.
Here's a shot of them from the Centreport's own website:
What do you think? Am I seeing things?

yeah.... na....maybe
Well, those kinds of cranes are fairly standard. when I was a kid, getting driven around in the back of my parents' car, I always thought of them as dinosaurs. There's a boatload in Baltimore, MD, USA, and I imagine any big port.
Oh don't spoil my fun..... ;)
