Forever At Ravenholm

"Forever At Ravenholm" focuses on the depressing, lonely atmosphere of Half-Life 2's Ravenholm. For some story background, Ravenholm was a small mining town that had City 17 settlers... until the Combine soon found out about it and bombed it with pods of headcrabs.

This is a remake of the first video I have ever made back in May 2006, with a much better concept. It's a project I've been looking forward to doing since during the production of UnKnown Moments 4. Now that I am finished after two days of work, it looks damn beautiful. This video is probably one of the best Machinimas of mine to date.

Tools I used for this were strictly Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, Fraps, and Garry's Mod. The reason I used Garry's Mod instead of Half-Life 2 itself was because Gmod uses the latest source engine, ability to use cameras, and the bloom feature, which I used to my advantage to give Ravenholm more of an atmosphere.

Music is "Tearjerker" by Korn.

Udder beauty, Caleb. Tearjerker fit with this so well and i actually thought of that song while playing through Ravenholm.

Another Topic:

What exactly do you use Adobe Premier Pro 2.0 for and is it free? Because i feel as if you drug the color out if some shots and used different more "dramatic" effects on others.

[1337CaLeB]

@matt10394 Premiere pro isn't free. The color you see in the video was generated by Garry's Mod itself.

@1337CaLeB can you mask with premier pro?

[1337CaLeB]

@ExpertPizza I'm sure you can, but I've never done it myself.

[ExpertPizza]

@1337CaLeB thank you for the answare, pls, can you tell me, that are there any effects on premiere pro? it looks much easier to use, than after effects.

[1337CaLeB]

@ExpertPizza Yeah, there's a good collection of them.

[Metalsonic2008]

even tho this is a game, i feel kinda bad for those people. many people. in a mining town. suddenly the motha fuckin combine comes with their headcrab artillery and bombs the place. now they are zombies, in a dark town. and this town has only one survivor... Father Grigori. great video, i love it. downloading it before WMG removes it.

@Metalsonic2008 And i don't think those screams are zombies, cause zombies have headcrabs on there head witch would make the screams muffled.

[isprel221]

@Metalsonic2008 Well, there mite be more survivors. (Cause you can hear female/male screams sometimes)

@jonesland10 Well, ravenholm was a mining town where people used to flee to, but the combine trew bomba filled with headcrabs on it, since then all people there were zombies... Exept for father georgi

[Polored1066]

and the people turned into zombies do feel, in their subconscious, the pain of feeding a crab with their own flesh. How horrible... the atmosphere of this level is just perfect, the poison crabs and the fast zombies frightened me like nothing else before...... aahh

[videosmuestra]

@peachyindetroit agree

[videosmuestra]

niiiiice dude, very good job

[jonesland10]

Is there a story behind ravenholm?

[peachyindetroit]

Half Life 2 is the best game ever made

[misterrandompancake]

i feel so sorry for the citizens of the quiet mining town of ravenholm. it gets me so pissed at the combine to even think of a zombie or stalker or any of their synths (gunship, hunter, advisor, etc)
