It’s amazing what a little talent, a little gear and a lot of imagination can accomplish. The Purchase Brothers purportedly spent $500 to produce two episodes in a Half-Life movie series. This isn’t machinima , folks, but real human beings acting this stuff out. Very, very cool. The Purchase Brothers’ website has the full quality video available, too.
As Kotaku observes, a straight-up Half-Life movie, focusing on Gordon Freeman, would be pretty boring. But the Half-Life world is rich with other stories to tell, and it’s exciting to see people run with their ideas. For more home-made movie fun, check out 405: The Movie , and my favorite, the Star Wars themed IMPS: The Relentless .
