Eddie Smithson's Tutorial (Half-Life 2 Machinima Tutorial)

[Khanggarrymod]

YOU ARE AWSOME

[drifter402]

MAKE MORE

[therealGLaDOS]

how do you make your garphics so good in the movie?

[pwnzro]

@therealGLaDOS it's all in rendering and after-effects

[MultiAnimals1]

Awesome dude, you got me back into Machinima-making. Would you mind sending the Advanced Fire addon as a link in the description? I looked on gmod.org but it didn't have anything. Thanks anyway

:D

[HumphreyTheWolf]

This is amazing :D Thanks 

[Biohazard931]

Please. PLEASE HELP. I have posted on eight forums with ZERO replies.

Every time I used the catmull rom addon with source recorder I either get orange code lua spam, crashing and this weird white glowing thing that covers my screen.

PLEASE I AM IN DESPERATE NEED. You have NO idea how long I've been trying to fix this.

PLEASE I BEG SOMONE TO PLEAAAAAAAAASEEEE ANSWER ME.

[PulpAwesomeness]

@Biohazard931 can you kindly please STFU?

[Biohazard931]

I just CANT get the source recorder to work ://

How do I choose the codec? It only shows up when I alt tab and then everything screws up

[Biohazard931]

Somone PLEASE link the pyro addon ...and how do you get smoke grenades?

[Biohazard931]

Do I need to get half life 2? Can I just use CS Source? I haven't seen any machinimas within the cs maps tho :/

[Biohazard931]

I have another question! I have source sdk model viewer...but I have half life 2 models in it and I don't even have half life 2. I'm really confused... :/ Why is there random models and stuff.

[Biohazard931]

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOURCE RECORDER AND FRAPS?

FRAPS IS ONE BUTTON TO RECORD :( somone help?

[Biohazard931]

Help! You say use the Source Recorder but why not use fraps? It does the exact same thing doesn't it? I looked at a tutorial for source recorder and you have to do so much stuff...

[Lukasmbtv]

Needs a little more detail

[Biohazard931]

HELP! What is the difference between the normal camera tool and catmull rom??

[Lukasmbtv]

@Biohazard931 Catmullrom cameras move and zoom. Definetley a must-have addon for Machinima makers.

[Biohazard931]

Warcraft machinima is failing. It's so limiting. Map viewer doesn't work. I'm migrating to this now.

Don't use WoW Machinima.

[uttermostjackdude]

where do you find pyro advanced

[Semyon256]

Thank's Eddie Smithson for this tutorial and thank's Autor. Sorry i bad write English.

[1323riley]

how do i bring out models

[Biohazard931]

For some reason I can't load background textures...I really need to.

Please help.

Apparently I need a background texture as a refrence. Learned from how 2 machinima.

[PsychoFlounder]

do you use souce recorder? i use fraps is that better?

[Raond11]

I tought I would learn something, already new this... I tought it would be something else :'(

[counterstrikenerd321]

Someone Needs to tell me How to add the Animations into the video itself.

[DominationDarren]

Very nice tutorial. The only thing I didn't quite think you did was chroma key out of the model viewer. I had assumed that you, and other professionals simply loaded those animations in Faceposer and used then opened your .vcd in GMod using the setexpressionoverride console command.

[av3nger3]

He has yet to tell us how to make custom animations for hl2 models.

[counterstrikenerd321]

@av3nger3 Model Viewer

[TDakotaW]

LOL!!!!!!!

[danieldjdk]

Didn't he forget sounds? One of the most important things lol. Anyway awesome =D

[Necro12511]

It's sort of a knock off of Star Wars III, but damn it's alomost better than the real thing.

[QwukeStudioz]

@Necro12511 "DURP IM 12 AND A NERD. DURP. REAL THING. DURP I THINK IM PROFESSIONAL AND TROLL REAL MOVIE MAKERS AND HAVE NO OUNCE OF TALENT IN ME. DURP."

[KRAZY7777]

im actually really good at camera work just with the phone cam. so if you need me for anymovie just PM me :D

[QwukeStudioz]

@KRAZY7777 what you said, was retarded. go die you 12 year old, anyone can noclip in slowturn and hold the camera, now stop.

[CanadianSalocin]

A tutorial from a machinima god? Suhweet!

[FiloVanMewa]

You sir, are a god.

[Firefox3339]

Dose motion blur work in Sony Vegas 9?

[Zender1994]

Seriously...You're awesome :D

[bmar896]

Where I can download that awesome catmullrole camera?

[featurecreature18]

Catmull ROM camera. Not role.

[gunnerjaxx]

were can i find the adv pyro pyro addon

[bmar896]

Weel I could try to find Fire advance but I cant find smoke grenades in Garrys mod. Help me somebody.

[JURPO90]

[amityaadav]

Amazing! I am pretty sure it takes a lot of work! Great job!!

[xdassinx]

Man, that's like... work or something. But, the film studio finish is worth it.

Makes 5 guys recording Halo while trying to act funny look like a circle jerk....

[you4bananas]

[DrakeSpartan]

[mavenGamer]

and how did you make it so you can move the charactors in source model viewer freely?

[mavenGamer]

how do you get rid of the red blue green lines in source sdk model viewer. that are normaly on the head or hand..

[barret98]

@mavenGamer go to "Attachments" and click "none" there!

[NemesisX00]

in model veiwer, how did you get the camera to show above the waist of the model, in your case police.

[101maxplayer]

omfg christian bale getting pissed at terminater salvation filming

[paintballmasta69]

Wow, it's amazing how long it took to set up 5 seconds of action, but it came out looking awesome.

[FrozenAtrox]

Nice! Might use this in BF2 :o

[SteveTheBad]

Half Life videos like these are EXTREMELY hard and time-consuming to do. Though, they have to ability to be the best Machinima-type videos out there. The tools are amazing.

[ChaferFilms]

nice

[giizismukwa2]

im a bit confused on the moveing cameramod

[zpenguin65]

just go to a website with gmod addon dls and search for catmull rom

[Turkey5695]

Pretty sick.

[RICOROCKOROCK]

2:46 what did he say at the end ??

[JinRenegade]

He said Film Grain.

[lolhiyal]

Motion blur, film grain

[GravitayDawg]

LOL

[DynasticProductionz]

can soemone help me, i try to do gmod machinimas but i dont know how to make them talk like he does in this video ?

[moviefact1]

[DynasticProductionz]

Source SDK ?

[HemisphereMachinima]

thanks dude you guys really must have your own you tube to

[KeuleMedia]

Nice look behind the scenes. Keep up the good work!

[TheGman2011]

wow thts long!!!

[gameaton]

it didint help cuz i dont have any of the animations or editing stuff

[DrakeSpartan]

Yer thats a real help, it gives a glimpse of ways you can film the machinima without having a large cast. Thanks alot :)

[mistermasterplan099]

nice :P

i really think that vae victis is THE best hl2 film ever made :P

[RustyBinProductions]

I don't understand why you'd greenscreen the metrocops over the original shot... why not just script them? That way you'd have the added advantage of dynamic lighting, and far less work to do at the editing stage.

[Hexthevex]

Field of view, mah boy!

[Niosus]

can be done in the source engine

[KTheBoi]

My computer can't even support Half Life 2 wtf

[pcgamerguy1234]

[MunchyToast001]

@pcgamerguy1234 The AD on my vids is "Slevomat" wich is a server to find cheap price deals, but its total sh*t.

[LordRhyme]

really usefull thx for posting :]

[fopp69]

that was cool

[LithiumHammer]

This is definietly one of the more helpful videos on hl2 machinima

[z3ziman]

Christian Bale FTW!

[Vinc3ntPh4m]

Genius

[Rahman413]

garrys mod seem complicated.

[ElChrisman99]

It can be if you have serious intentions on making somthing huge. Like a video or a large model. But for gaming purposes its very simple and fun :)

[zpenguin65]

the only complicated part is wire mod

[TheBeeseik]

did he say anything about wire?

[zpenguin65]

not in the video

[loltalker667]

indeed it is.

[TheGermanMarines]

your movies are epic

[conder17011994]

wat program do u us for make half life movies

[2007excalibur2007]

2:41 >_>

Are you deaf?

[augustuen]

@conder17011994 source recorder is probably the best to record and for editing you can pretty much choose what ever you want

[NyBeatMaker]

amazing

[Ldotplop]

Very useful

[Palmcrusher]

i wish he would have gone into more detail. a three minute tutorial is not enough to do any of this stuff and ive seen people create over 30 minutes of tutorials on things hes just barely mentioned in this video.

[coreysvidz]

you need at l;east a basic knowledge of video editing to do what hes doing.

[Potatogalaxy]

I've never even seen Vae Victus

[pg]

[KickButtUnggoy]

Excellent tut. Only after watching this did i notice the green on one of the guy's outline, but w/e, lol.
