cylonlover writes "Valve has gained a reputation over the years not just for consistently putting out great games, but also for the slick trailers and promo videos that go along with them. But now the developer is turning the tables and handing over its own video-making tools to fans free of charge. With the Source Filmmaker, gamers will be able to direct, animate, and record their own videos as if they were shooting on location inside a video game."

Seriously I hate sounding like a fan boy but I can't think of many companies that would do this when they could likely sell this as DLC or something else for cash. I 3 Valve.

Be it 35mm + live actors, digital, silent B&W, IMAX, or this game engine...you still need a good story teller to make a good movie or short.

Let's hope some good story tellers jump on this and make some good stuff.
