Garry’s Mod is a sandbox mod for the Source Engine. Unlike normal games there aren't any predefined aims or goals. Players are given tools and are left to entertain themselves. The player is in a world where objects can be created and destroyed on demand. Where people can be created and destroyed with the click of a mouse. A world made for him. A world he made.

A short video based on the Half Life 2 beta to improve my skills at editing with Sony Vegas and get an idea of how to make machinima-like videos. If you arent familiar with the Half Life 2 Beta/Leak, I'm afraid that this video may be rather confusing, sorry D: Please keep in mind this was my first attempt at gmod filming, though all criticism is appreciated!
Here is the map used: Garrysmod.org
That was pretty good. One of the hardest limitations of Gmod is how everyone is either a mannequin, human, or moving grossly unnaturally(and simplistically) Another thing gmod lacks is a good way to slowly pan the camera without it looking like you're using a controller or holding the A/D key. You worked around those very well.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! Though I got around these issues with very simple gmod addons, the NPC controller addon gave me a wide selection of animations which let the NPC's move naturally. The camera panning was done with the catmull-rom addon, which is used by many machinima-makers. Both very useful!
