I'm not a hardcore fan of the HL story, but this looks like it is going to be great if it turns into a movie or series. These kids are doing better than the team making the Dragonball movie. It is amazing what really talented people can pull off nowadays without thousands or millions of dollars. Edit: Yeah this could probably go in the YouTube thread, but I thought this worthy of it's own because the quality is just mind-blowing. | ||

I can't believe this was done on a $500 budget. The props were dead on target for matching the game, the animation was flawlessly comp'd, the acting was good, and the lighting was fantastic! My god. And CharlieMurphy, I can't believe the CG is straight from HL2, as the models look higher poly and with higher res textures. I could be wrong, but it looks like they did it all themselves. Jeez this is freaking fantastic. | ||

The action got a bit lame after a while, though...four guys shooting at each other in a narrow alley between trains with automatic weapons can't land a single hit? Aside from that lack of realism...everything else about that video was amazing. I would LOVE to see a HL movie...though I hope they do an adaptation of the first one first. | ||

In fact, that's so expensive, that you're often better off doing much of it yourself, which of course raises your costs immensely. A lot of it goes into paying the staff and whatnot as well. Paying salaries and whatnot stacks up very quickly. If everyone is volunteering, that's a HUGE amount of money you save. | ||

I hope Valve takes this and makes it into a separate game like Blue Shift and Opposing Force. | ||

Now I guess if they rented the equipment cheap I guess that's cool, but again if you were to shoot that in a city and make money off of it, you'd probably need a license or permission or what not from the city me thinks. so it's not impressive they can do better with scrap (and let's say it was 5k, or 500 big deal); than some movies that have millions put into them with teams. =/ What's impressive is their designing capabilities- amplified by how little they apparently spent. | ||

So the $500 most likely went into things they didn't already have like costumes/props or whatever.Wonder what software they used...but from the quality of it that must have cost more than a couple thousand, not 500. Still just as amazing of course, but not because of the budget... but as you said, impressive regardless of their budget. | ||
