From the synopsis: "The Escape From City 17 short film series is an adaptation based on the Half Life computer game saga by Valve Corporation. Originally envisioned as a project to test out numerous post production techniques, as well as a spec commercial, it ballooned into a multi part series. Filmed guerilla style with no money, no time, no crew, no script, the first two episodes were made from beginning to end on a budget of $500."
For $500, that just blows my mind. Then again, when working with digital cinematography and not paying anyone, $500 can go a long way. I imagine, since they are commercial directors, they had some in-house people do the FX work as a favor.
