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..

This is our first attempt at Machinima using the Source SDK and Half-Life 2 environment. Enjoy.

Synopsis

A comedy series set in the Half-Life 2 universe, looking at the lives of some of the more dysfunctional Civil Protection officers.

Blurb

"As for the Civil Protection series, it's inspired by the oppressive policing force within the game Half-Life 2. It's a comedy series created using the game engine itself to animate everything. Right now I am the writer, animator, director, producer, cinematographor, editor... pretty much everything you see in the episode is my fault."

A Few Good G-Men

Choreographer(s)

Randall Glass

Released

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?)."

Paul Marino

Released

March 2005

Length

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."
