Escape From City 17
Apparently these guys made this amazing first episode to this miniseries with $500. Now, I'm sure that's not counting camera and computer equipment, but that's still impressive. What's sad is it looks better than probably anything Hollywood can make. I suggest going to the Youtube page and seeing the larger version.

I loved this so much. I just can't believe how well they mesh the live-action actors and the computer work. Just outstanding stuff, especially for amateurs.
ReplyDeleteThis probably is better than anything Hollywood could produce, because a big-budget movie would try to do too much, or it would try to follow the story of Gordon Freeman. I think a big budget would actually get in the way of creating something genuine, visceral, and interesting. What I love about this is that it's a side-story of Half Life...it's almost like Left 4 Dead set in the Half Life universe (which is, OH MAN, such a great idea for a game too!).
It also makes me realize that there's so much potential within the rich, deep Half Life universe for more games, comics, movies, stories...anything. There's just so much left there to explore.
Yeah, that was pretty damn cool! Lately, I've been checking out various webisode series, and I was thinking we could definitely make something pretty cool for cheap. Obviously, it would have to take place after we all get back to AK. Any takers?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I always thought Half-life would make for a sweet RTS.
