Half-Life : Escape From City 17
 
A live-action adaptation of Half-Life 2 is being made by the Purchase Brothers. And they've done a great job at it, considering they've only spent 500 dollars so far. The first part was released and you can see it here. Be sure to click "Watch in HD" for maximum effect.

Really impressive. I'll be keeping a look out for this.

Not bad actually. I'm not buying the "only spent 500 dollars so far" part of it though.

It totally captured the half-life "feeling", so intense! :) And think how cool stuff these guys can produce with so little money. In contrast to professionals like Uwe Boll who can't even direct a decent film with 20 million.. Hopefully these guys gain good name with these fan films and get to make real movies.. They show some talent!:)

You might want to check out Star Wreck: In The Pirkinning -- it's a feature-length parody of you-know-what, with some pretty slick production values, and according to the guys who made it, the biggest cost was keeping the producer's computer up to date. You can (legally) torrent the DVD, or watch various other versions of it too.

Making a movie is not about the money any more, but the will to do so and the wits to make best of the available resources. A computer, a camera and couple of programs (Adobe's Premiere and After Effects and Newtek's Lightwave 3D) were the bare necessities for Star Wreck. Desktop video is here to stay.

It's not great art by any means, but if you're into space opera and get the references, you'll probably like it. It's genuinely funny in places.

Great but short movie. I hope they'll make more episodes :)
