VIDEO NOW HAS ANNOTATIONS! LEARN THE REFERENCES AND CREATIVE PROCESS BEHIND THE VIDEO! Winning video of the '08 Ivy Film Festival Machinima Judging and Audience Competition!


All he wanted was to find a bathroom.

A man who has just been relocated to City 17 finds himself at the top of the Civil Protection's most wanted list - he is mistaken as Gordon Freeman. Knowing very well what might come to him if he folds up, he escapes his arrest in a twist of fate and is pursued across City 17 to the coasts as our mistaken identity citizen struggles to survive in this suspenseful action-adventure.

A homage to the more famous works of Alfred Hitchcock, made with a similar style full of suspense and with plenty of nostalgic references to the movies North By Northwest, Vertigo, Psycho, Rear Window, Lifeboat, and more. Also, see if you can catch onto a few of the trademarks located in the video that Hitchcock is famous for. So if you've ever seen a Hitchcock film, you're in for a treat, if not, you're in for a suprise! Enjoy. A more serious movie, I know, but don't taze me over it.

nice attempt. but read a bit about the 180 degree line rule. it makes a film a little easier to watch.

I like the fact Gordon kept being quiet when his car was stolen. I can imagine what he was thinking (!@#!%$%%^ sth like that ^^), but he didnt dare to open his mouth. He didnt say a word in whole hl series, so it could be another referecne :D

Nice vid, very creative.
