A celebrated series of award-winning FPS games which has consistently pushed the limits and expectations of the first-person shooter genre since its inception.
I hope the next decade is full of video game movies. Like this decade is all Comic movies. Can't wait to see more well done movies using video games as source material.

Don't get me started on the WoW movie."
You're probably one of the few that hopes that. Movies based on Comic books recently have actually been decent to really good movies, the chance that we would get a single good video game anytime soon is pretty slim to none, just as its always been.
This is either higher budget than it lets on or just makes brilliant use of guerrilla cinematography. Scratch that, regardless of how high or low budget it is, it does make brilliant use of guerrilla cinematography. I'm also really impressed with the costuming; spot on. It was probably a good idea to give the two actors so few lines though, as they seemed really uncomfortable and wooden. Hopefully they will loosen up later and we'll see some real work from them.
It looks like the other episodes have already been at least partially filmed, so maybe they're just undergoing editing before release. Here's hoping this one keeps a steady flow.

From what I've heard, the budget for the first two episodes was only $500.

I doubt that. Just the costuming and props would probably eat up a solid $250-$300 bucks. Add in the pay for special effects, actors, cinematographers, etc., not too mention the unavoidable "miscellaneous cost" category... Naw. I mean, if it was that makes it all the more impressive. I just...
PIX OR IT DIN'T HAPPUN.
EDIT: Wait, first two episodes? Wow, I thought we were just talking about the first episode here. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that definitely didn't cost less than $500, unless like, 80% of the cast and crew were doing shit for free.
I was really impressed with that video. Its what movies of games should be like. I think a smaller budget allows the crew to focus more directly on the source material which makes the videos more niche but absolutely awesome!
Does anybody think that a bigger budget would help this movie at all. Or is keeping small this it is better. In my opinion, I think it would be better keeping it small.
