Half Life 2 - Session (HD) Made 2005

This is where it all started for me, the first video I ever put effort into, Session. Entirely made from Gmod and Sony Vegas alone. I made it in August 2005 over a 3 day period and a load of editing. Strangely enough this was before HD really existed and i didnt know much about video resolution but i somehow managed to actually shoot it in HD. After realising HD was too big for the time compared to everything else I made a shrunk down version, which i put online. I actualy kept the huge one, don't know why. But now i'm glad I did. If it wasn't for this video, I wouldn't of got the job working on Black Mesa. If it wasn't for Black Mesa, I wouldnt be working for Bioware now. So all in all, I owe this vid a lot. I'm hoping people who do videos and watch this now (after seeing what i've been capable of more recently) take this in, and helps motivate them towards industry work too.
