Escape From City 17 - Part One Released

[MrKLM]

Yesterday The Purchase Brothers released the first part of their series The Escape From City 17. Take a look:

The Escape From City 17 short film series is an adaptation based on the Half Life computer game saga by Valve Corporation. Originally envisioned as a project to test out numerous post production techniques, as well as a spec commercial, it ballooned into a multi part series. Filmed 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.

well made, some better acting would have been nice

I thought it was pretty good, but the lighting kept changing in the trainyard which made it look kinda fakeish. Other than that it was well done. After seeing this, I think HL2 could be adapted to a movie, actually.

I think a miniseries would be more fitting than amovie :)

Or webisodes Which I hope this will turn into :)

Even Valve made a announcement for this so it's pretty good.

Yeah a miniseries would fit it better than a movie. They could follow some random resistance people (like they did) and have a little interaction with people like Barney, Dr Kliner (or w/e his name is), and Eli throughout the story.

Uh, that was awesome!!!!! Been waiting for a HL2 movie forever! And remember folks this was made on like 500 bucks. So don't get too critical of the acting or lighting. Very well done, and so professional looking.

That was really well made. I like how they were able to blend in the gunships and the stryders with the environment.
