Half Life 2
Wondered what a live-action Half Life would look like? Follow the link to watch the first part of a short film series based on Valve's video game.
Directed by The Purchase Brothers, The Escape From City 17 is a short film series adapted from Valve's Half Life video games.
At first the team only wanted to test out a number of post production techniques (the special effects are impressive for such a small team), but the project ballooned into a multi-part series.
The project was filmed with very limited resources; the first two episodes were made on a budget of only $500.
Watch in awe as the Half Life atmosphere is perfectly recreated. It really is impressive for an independent company on such a tight budget.
