I really like this narrative which is based in the video game half life universe which has quite a small cast and large amount of editing which i really liked. The lighting for this piece was moody and suits the actual game enviroment. what makes this so impressive is how much special effects in pre and post production are done such as the zombie make up and the costumes for the combine armed soldiers. I would like to try something like this but the factor that shocked me was the budget and the 2 years in the making but all in all this was a good find.
