Half-Life Fan Film: Beyond Black Mesa Trailer






A teaser/trailer for a fan-made Half-Life 2 short film has been making its rounds on the internet.
The film, titled "Beyond Black Mesa," is set a short time before the events of Half-Life 2 as shown with Ravenholm not yet being a Headcrab Zombie hot spot. It centers around Adrian Shepard (whom some fans may remember as the main playable character in Half Life: Opposing Force) and a band of resistance fighters struggling to get out a warning about an impending invasion.

The film has been in the making for about two years, and is operating under the budget of only $1200. I'm pretty excited for it, especially after watching the other HL fan-made short "Escape From City 17." (Which, despite being less than 15 minutes looked fantastic and was only operating under the extremely small budget of $500.) Most, if not all of the sound effects are ripped straight from the game which also gives it a nice touch.

Edit: Check out the official trailer below!


Expect to be able to watch this with your eyeballs some time later this year. I'm totally unsure.
