A friend of mine over at Strike A Pose Films has entered the (
http://www.gametrailers.com/usermoviecontest_halloween.php) Gametrailers Halloween BOOO-VIE Contest with a pretty cool System Shock 2 themed film. I am really impressed how quickly he put this thing together and was able to meet the entry deadline. I am not sure if anyone has attempted a live action short film based on System Shock before, but I figured I would post it here since I am sure a lot of you will get some enjoyment out of it.
Quote:
Based on the cult classic PC game SYSTEM SHOCK 2 by Looking Glass Studios, THE FIRST ENCOUNTER follows an unnamed man, awakened from Cryo-Sleep aboard the Von Braun, an intergalactic starship that has recently approached Tau Ceti V.
Something has gone horribly wrong, as he soon learns. Hauntings, monsters, an insane AI, and a ship that is falling apart at the seams all endanger his life. Each step he takes could be his last!
Capturing the classic horror moments of video games that we all know and love, FIRST ENCOUNTER takes us through long hallways, tight corridors, pits the hero against hideous HYBRID monsters, serves as an unknowing pawn to an overlord presence that only wishes to manipulate the character into his own destruction, and audiologs that let the player in on what terrifying things have happened before. And might happen again.
The film can be viewed here:

Quite good on the overall whole. I like. The text in the credits at the very end is very hard to read. Thats my only negative thing to say on it.

Yeah, they compressed the video a lot more then we were expecting. A higher quality video will be up eventually. Thanks for the comments!

Not bad. The beginning was a little shaky as far as sound and visuals are concerned, but the rest was pretty good.

Good job on a difficult task. It works as a homage, but I don't think it's actually understandable for anyone who is not familiar with the game. Still lots of fan respect of course. :thumb:

Thanks, Kolya, for bringing up a good point.
I just decided to register for this site, as I have made this video that I hope you all can love and enjoy as fans of the series and the second game, specifically, and all things horribly "SHODAN".
Yes, this video is VERY MUCH homage, its incredibly fan specific, and I knew that right from the beginning--it is pretty much how I designed the film. Moments like the ghost and some of the audio logs used are designed exclusively to show moments from the game that fans could associate with SS2 most fervently.
Seeing as this was a vid made for fans, yeah, I hope I can get the evaluations of guys like you who are most interested in it. We are uploading a higher quality version of it to the site in the next couple of days, and I'd love to be reading the opinions of some of the true fans of the game!
Our website, once its up, is (
