Half-Life 2 short film

[The Other Colbert]

Its called "Escape From City 17 part 2" and was made with a $250 budget... but yet it looks badass.

250 if you don't include the props, cameras, lights, and computers plus the the hours and hours editing and compositing.

not trying to get down on it because it is really cool but there's at least $10000 worth of equipment and software alone involved in making something like that. plus people working for free. if people making big budget movies worked for free they wouldn't cost much either.

yes you are right, the software was donated, and the manual labor was all volunteered. That doesn't change the fact that it's a excellent accomplishment.

very well done. I enjoyed it. That's the type of stuff I want to do. Make some cheap cool horror movies with friends.

Just finished watching. I'm so jealous they got that opportunity to make that. Wish I had a rich family or live in a cool town that would chip in, I would do a project.... based off of whatever...haha
