- A short video made with the intention of being independent; no parodies, no derivative world, just Face Poser. Besides trying to show off my own abilities, it's a way of getting people interested in Face Poser.

Real Heroes of Half-Life 2
- Choreographer(s)
- Half a Beer Productions
- Released
- December 2007
- Length
- 2:29
- Synopsis
- Recreation of a humorous Budweiser advert.
- Blurb
- Dr. Kleiner, complete with Trump-esque custom hairpiece, prefers Bud Light to teenage cheerleaders in the first ever radio ad machinima. This movie is pretty quick-fire, so you may need to play it a couple of times to catch some of the details, such as citizen "Kenny's" white stick and G-Man's first date. We've tried to use custom models, textures and maps to full effect in what was supposed to be a short project, but turned out to be 4 months of toil. If you're wondering where you've seen the fantasy sequence before, watch the first 20 minutes of American Beauty again. So, crack open an ice cold Bud Light, Mr. Stud-in-a-rug, then watch our movie and let us know what you think.

- Tim Kitevski
- Released
- September 2007
- Length
- 03:36
- Synopsis
- A short Occupational Health & Safety induction video for the police officers of the 15th Precinct Police station.
- Blurb
- This is a short film Machinima that was created this year as a spoof of regular OH&S Videos. It was powered by the Source engine using completely original material created by myself. All the content used is part of the Half Life 2 mod project I am currently working on known as "Dead End".
- NOTE
- The film itself has no direct relation to any events within the mod, and should be treated as a stand alone product.

Confessions of a Security Guard
- Choreographer(s)
- Half a Beer Productions
- Released
- June 2007
- Length
- 5:06
- Synopsis
- Half a Beer productions serves you a man-sized pint of Irish with a twist of menage a trois. This is a Monty Pythonesque take on the dystopian society of Half-Life 2, where our beloved Barney is (almost) the last man on Earth. Watch out for "Kenny" (oh my god), who dies a total of 5 times. It starts slowly, so give it a chance. It's a fun music video, so just sit back and let the insanity wash over you. Music by U2 and Van Morrison..
- Blurb
- This is our first attempt at Machinima using the Source SDK and Half-Life 2 environment. Enjoy.

Right now I am the writer, animator, director, producer, cinematographor, editor... pretty much everything you see in the episode is my fault."

- July 2005
- Length
- 5:50
- Synopsis
- The climactic court scene of A Few Good Men, in which Colonel Jessep (Jack Nicholson/G-Man) is grilled by Lieutenant Kaffee (Tom Cruise/Barney).
- Blurb
- "Hey gang, this is my first crack at making movies with the HL2 engine. I originally thought this would be a quick 'two-weeks' maximum project ('hey, the phoneme editor practically does all the work for you!'), but turned into a 2 month learning experience. I probably would have hesitated had I known what I was in for, but thought this would be a good test project (and didn't you always want to see the G-Man get grilled?)."

I'm Still Seeing Breen
- Choreographer(s)
- Paul Marino (Archive)
- Released
- March 2005
- Length
- 05:08
- Synopsis
- A machinima music video portraying some of the events in Half-Life 2 - with a singing G-Man...
- Blurb
- "After I completed Half-Life 2, I thought it was one of the more exceptional games I had played. Around each corner, there was yet another experience that would forever be burned into my gray matter. Afterwards, I found myself playing through some of the more exciting levels again and thought to put together a music video around it. I had been itching to put FacePoser to work, and it became obvious that a music video would be a good place to give it a try."
