This has a sort of an Appleseed, Final Fantasy feel to it.
Here is a CGI Breakdown.
I was thinking could you make a Final Fantasy looking Anime, Cartoon or Manga using Poser or Daz 3d?
I was thinking you could take a few elements like this and do something similiar to the above without having to create every single asset.
Get to it folks.
Also why are almost every short animation out there about someone getting chased by something else in a weird world. Do we like being chased?
