I see this primarily as a portfolio piece (SEATTLE AREA VIDEOGAME DEVS, I NEED A JOB), but hopefully you'll get some entertainment value out of it (or at least rent the movie). I feel that this is about 75% of what I wanted to accomplish (I may write up a post-mortem after I get back from vacation). The animations are spotty in some areas and I need to make some of the expressions more fluid, but overall I think it's a pretty decent attempt (I need to work a little more on Angry Tom).

All of the camera cuts were done in the game (at least 15 point_viewcontrol entities). When you launched the level it went right into the movie and didn't stop until the end credits. I used Cannonfodder's tools to create the animations (with 3DS Max). There were a few glitches along the way (I'll go into detail later... you may notice that there isn't hand animation in some shots). I plan on doing at least one more cut of this movie with some of the missing details put in (for one, a Marine uniform for the G-Man).

I'll be out of town until July 18, and won't be able to return any emails until then.

thanks for watching!
