that's the fundamental difference between a movie and a game and actually the reason why I think a movie about a game wouldn't be a good movie. movies heavily rely on characters, and not so much on incidents or actions. for a good movie, you just need a protagonist and their personality is very important for the audience being able to empathize with said protagonist.
the Purchase Brothers are extremely talented, their CG and compositing is top notch. overall it's great action, but unfortunately good action isn't enough to make a good movie. I just doubt there is enough substance in the HL series to make a good full-length movie. If they also manage to write a good story with strong characters then we will see a great HL movie.
It got pixelated towards the end but great job! if you fix that, you should really do another one! get a friend to help and, y'know, do, like, Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2 EP1 and all that. You're great at this!
i agree with most people on the subject of the (hopefully coming) half life movie,because how would they do freeman...he never talks,he cant do any moaning like pain cuz no1 knos his voice..trust me i want a hl movie more than anything..but i doubt it.
Didn't really like this version as much. It builds up waaay to slow, or stalls fighting for unusually long periods of time to seemingly show off more CG effects instead of portraying a 'believable story' like the original version did. Plus, despite the scenes and locations being rather accurate and well chosen for a City 17 location. The landscape feels extremely bare for no understandable reason. One would usually run across another citizen or Metro-cop by now, but there's no sign of life.
thanks for your honest comment, I value every opinion. however, I'd like to point out that this was done as part of my thesis about post-production, so one of the main purposes was to show off CG effects.
I intentionally didn't show that many signs of life to create an eerie, barren and nightmarish kind of feeling, but I understand that not everyone might like this and would have liked to see more of HL2's creatures ;)
i think, they should make a real full-length movie from this game. maybe, as we really don't know much about gordons character, the movie should be first-person. that would be interesting, i think xD
I'd love to do a full-lenght movie, however, I don't think it is a great idea to show the whole movie in a first-person view. good movies are usually character-based; I guess if there is a lack of a character which the audience can empathize with, most people would get extremely bored.
Ahh ... I remember watching this when you uploaded it first 2005 or so...that was and is awesome! I am from germany so I am happy that you used a german city, hehe. looks really similar to City 17 :)
I think the bit with the crowbar would have been funnier without the additional reaction shots and without the additional shot showing the crowbar falling.. It was pretty unnecessary, however, overall, wonderful short :D Great composite work.
thanks! I had a friend helping me carry and set up some equipment for half a day and then some others giving me advice during post-production, but during most of the shoot it was just the actor and me. fun times tho.
That's why me and my crew of six people are working on a decent storyboard and script before setting out to make a movie which lasts 2 minutes and has no to little effects ;)
If anyone wants to participate, we're still new at 3DSMax. The editing program for the movie we use will be most likely AE since at least two of us have basic knowledge at it.
I shot early in the morning when most people were still sleeping. I had to remove an eldery woman in one of the shots tho. why do old people have to get up so early? :(
with an interview with valve they said that they have had many scripts come in for a half life movie, but he said all of them sucked and it would ruin the series. so it doesn't seem like their will ever be one :|
I think it's quite difficult to turn a computer game into a full-length movie because computer games are rather about playing than storytelling. most computer games simply lack the substance and strong characters to create a good story. even Half Life, it's a great game, but let's be honest - I found the story to be rather weird and confusing. and what do we know about Gordon Freeman as a character? - actually not much... I also doubt that there will ever be a (decent) half life movie.
I agree, but I still think HL is more realistic. You dont get told everything and so thats why your confused, remember if Gordon got told the whole story by someone it would look fake. And anyway, the game is meant to confuse and bewilder people. :P
btw it was a good short film, although the acting could have been slightly better xD
funaticfilms , your correct about the difficulty of creating a film from a video game, but Half Life 2's story is very deep and could easily be made into something like a short series and though it may take a lot of work and patience, it could be done well, the problem like you said though is Gordon isn't much of a relatable character since he never speaks, but the storytelling of the plot could be well orchestrated if done right
anyway, wonderful job on the movie! Excellently filmed!
I believe that Gordan Freeman is a sarcastically intelligent bad ass, who is scared of commitment ( ALYX) haha. I believe with a great director and cast. It could turn out to be a great movie. At least not a flop like........ Cough.. DOOM.. Cough.
Nice Job. Great Locations! that building is EPIC!!! the SFX are well done too!
I could see someone making a great scifi movie in the hl2 universe but it would have to be a separate story line with new characters, but i doubt that will actually happen.
it is real. I was told it was an old ship propeller factory (that's why there are those huge round holes in the ground). at that time I was living and studying near by, not a shabby area tho, it's just an old factory. lots of debris and broken glass everywhere, some water dropping from the ceiling but overall not really disgusting, rather desolate.
Really like this piece. Short and fairly simplistic, but the shots were well done and I really liked the the modeling. And I like the one liner. Only wished you had posted HQ, but the quality is still there. Keep up the good work.
That was very good buddy :) I wanna do a simmilar movie but i cant find the time.. lol.. very nice motionstracking and 3d modeling.. 5 stars for creativity and an awesome storyline.. loved the ending :) Nice one :) KEPP IT UP
Has the quality of the video decreased drastically when you uploaded to youtube? Because im considering getting the xl1, but want to make sure the video quality is up to par.
the XL1 is a great camera, but when you upload any footage to youtube, it will be compressed upon upload and thus decrease quality of course. that does not have anything to do with the camera, its just the way the video data is stored and played back on the youtube servers. your raw camera footage will always be of better quality than what you will see on youtube.
I shot it early in the morning so there weren't that many people around. only in a few takes you could see some people in frame, but I simply removed them with Adobe After Effects.
no, its a real city, no green screen was used at all. I 3D-motion-tracked the footage and added the CG. there was no need to key anything as I could use some simple track mattes to composite the CG and the live action footage.
Everything seems so slow. It forever just to kill that damn flying camera thingmabob. Just going around in circles for 20 seconds iwas like kill the damn thing already. Good job though.
Wow ummm how must I say this? The cg was good and all. But ummmm the scanner scene took up half the video. What's good about that? Add some combine and some shooting and you have yourself a good video.
I know, I also wanted to add Edward Norton as Gordon Freeman but my budget was a bit limited. Also, I had some time constraints while making this for film school - so no shooting and combine, sorry. :)
i really liked this "extended" cut of your short, really nice! always liked this short of yours, and the ending far from cheesy, like someone said before, the ending is awesome!! keep it up! :D cheers,
how did you make that there is no people in the city? I mean, it WAS empty!..
I doubt you.
My guess is that you just took a picture of a place in the right time, when there are no people. And just green-screen in your self[you told you didn't, but why should i believe]
Beside, the movie was long and boring. Just some guy killing one little robot. I mean, c'mon! you can do better on story. You know i forced my self to watch till end to criticize your film.
I like this, you should make one with more action, maybe a story of a rebel living in the suburbs of City seventeen, escaping through the canals? Just trying to give ideas. This still is beast :)
did you render the hl2 models yourself or did you rip them from the game and if you ripped them from the game how did render them so nicely and how did you make such excellent 3d tracking if you could message me back i really appreciate it
I took the models from HL2, imported them to 3dsmax, applied the vertex weld modifier to make them smoother, set up a light-dome to match the lighting of the environment and then rendered them with mental ray. later on during post production I did some grading too. The 3D tracking was done with syntheyes and with boujou. hope that helped :)
thank you! for this shot I mounted the XL-1 on a rather small, very basic manual camera crane. I rented it from a rental which made most of their gear by themselves. Although it was balanced out perfectly, it was quite hard to operate it in a steady and smooth way because it wasn't very stable at all. It took me 7 takes to get this shot right, no other shot was more difficult. however, its one of the shots that was most fun to shoot and that I'm most proud of.
colognes a great place for filming half life...especially cause of all the old half-bombed, graffiti-scribbled factories in the industirial part of town, (or in other cities in Germany, you can find exactly the same...)great stuff man!!
thanks for pointing that out. I haven't noticed that before and I'm quite sure it wasn't like that when I uploaded my video more than a year ago. I will see if I can do something about it.
It was a little boring... until he picked up the crowbar. (FTW!) lol, and I swear the factory he ran from the strider in looked like it had antlion pits in it!

Not quite as good as Escape from City 17.
That acting could be better, the guys reactions at the beginning seemed a little artificial. Could do with more emotion.
Overall the cinematography was great, but a few shots lagged behind the standrad of the others.

Sigh....America doesn't have the awesome urban shooting locations like Europe does, no matter how hard you look.

colognes a great place for filming half life...especially cause of all the old half-bombed, graffiti-scribbled factories in the industirial part of town, (or in other cities in Germany, you can find exactly the same...)great stuff man!!

To solve the quality problem around 6:30,
Just press the "HD" button.
This worked for me.

thanks for pointing that out. I haven't noticed that before and I'm quite sure it wasn't like that when I uploaded my video more than a year ago. I will see if I can do something about it.

Where is a combine? Film is cool, but escape from sity-17 better. где комбайны? фильм вроде ничего, но побег из сити 17 лучше.
