Half -Life 2 video finally up, featured on Kotaku.

2012-01-27T14:52:00.000-08:00

After months of slow and steady work, I finally finished and uploaded the Half-Life 2 video project I've been working on. The kind folks at Kotaku posted about here.

To sum it up I will just repost the YouTube description:

The goal of this project was to take the song "The Dead Flag Blues" and match it with striking imagery from the Half-Life 2 series to create a unique video that fans can enjoy. Call it a trailer, short, montage, music video, machinima, whatever you want, this my tribute to one the best game series around and everyone's favorite hero. Oh, the band rules too.

All video is 100% in-game footage that I recorded and edited myself. Gary's Mod was a big help with some of the scenes.

There you have it, hope you enjoy!

Guild Wars 2 Ambassador Contest & Project Updates

2011-05-25T18:26:00.000-07:00

Guild Wars 2 developer ArenaNet launched a contest this month called the "Become A Guild Wars 2 Ambassador" Video Contest 2011. I'm a huge fan of the original Guild Wars games and I'm verrrry excited for GW2 so of course I had to jump on this contest. The premise was simple and left a lot of room for creativity:

"Create a unique video no longer than 1 minute in length that demonstrates passion, creativity, a clear understanding of Guild Wars 2's key features, and that shows your friends why you're going to play Guild Wars 2 and why they should play Guild Wars 2, too.

Make a video blog, live action skit, infomercial, machinima, info-graphic, animation, or anything else you can dream up – as long as it shows people why Guild Wars 2 is the game for them! "

Contest Page & Prizes

The winners are being decided this week. Here's my entry:

Besides the Guild Wars video I've been working on a few more videos using Garry's Mod, Half-Life 2 and the other Valve/Source games. Some of the projects are still in the beginning stages but I'm really about the Half-Life 2 homage video I've been working on. I' hope to have it finished in the near future.

That's all for now, thanks for tuning it!
