I’m always interested in what amateur filmmakers can do now-a-days — a while back I linked to The Hunt For Golum, a Lord of the Rings ‘fanfilm’ that was made with a small budget and limited resources. I just saw another fanfilm, this time for the video game universe of Half-Life. Escape From City-17 is only about 5 minutes long, but I think you’ll be impressed with what fledgling talents David and Ian Purchase managed to accomplish with $500 bucks.
For a more indepth look at the project, check out the Wired article where I foudn out about this in the first place.
Escape From City-17 is projected to be a trilogy, and the previews for the second bit (at the end of the video) look really interesting, containing as it does headcrab zombies . . .
