Half-Life 2 as a movie: Escape from City 17 - briefly
(hx) 11:08 AM CET - Feb,14 2009 - Post a comment / read (4)
The Escape From City 17 short film series is an adaptation based on the Half Life computer game saga by Valve Corporation. Originally envisioned as a project to test out numerous post production techniques, as well as a spec commercial, it ballooned into a multi part series. Filmed guerilla style with no money, no time, no crew, no script, the first two episodes were made from beginning to end on a budget of $500.

Incredible, how with only 500$ and enthusiasm you can do a stunning short film like this one! Lots of things could have been better, but I was like "holy fucking shit!!!" when I first watched it. Awesome! Hope they'll get support from Valve. Many thanks and good luck for future projects to those guys.

Agreed. It was really well done. Looking at the depth of the Half Life story-line, I was wondering when something of this nature would come out.

For a $500 budget that is pretty good. Was too bad there was no grav gun. :)

Excellent! I think it also shows the accessiblity and quality of video editing software, digital cameras and so on availible in our current day and age. It shows you don't need an uber budget to make something of a very good standard - as long as you bring the talent. Technology at the end of the day is just a tool.
