Half-Life Short Film Grabs Attention

Posted by Soulskill on from the also-grabs-a-crowbar dept.

switchfeet writes "For any of you Half-Life fans out there, this new short film based on the game by The Purchase Brothers is really garnering some attention on pretty much every gaming site out there. 'It's a mixture of live action and game footage, and makes smart use of in-game sound effects, and some really fantastic location hunting. ... The Purchase Bros describe the production as '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.'"

    Gordon would have to TALK, and that can't possibly work well.

    I heard Uwe Boll is free. I'll give him a call...

    Except Gordon Freeman isn't in this video...

    Yeah, but actors with no lines don't get paid nearly as much as ones that get to say stuff. Would you want the part of Gordon, when everyone around you gets lines, but you have to just stare at people (with the option to take a crowbar to them, admittedly)?

    I'm a mime, you insensitive clod!

    You'll need to watch Freeman's Mind if you want that.
