You do realize the planethalf-life article is a joke right? There is no Uplink film.
Does anyone know if the dissued USAF base in the film was RAF Chicksands? It seems to fit the description Artw 04:06, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
As far as I can tell this is a rather minor event in the community history of a video game. Does Wikipedia really need this article? 81.151.88.192 13:04, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
ChrisBIrchLondon 13:47, 5 October 2007 (UTC)I made the Half Life film back then, we were provided sound fx by Sierra and on an ultra low budget were given the task of making a guerilla style film which would give the games magazines and websites something to talk about - which it did, it was always intended to be a rough, amateur looking movie, seeing as it was made on a shoestring and provided a month long promotion for Sierra and generated considerable pr coverage for them. It was never meant to be a professional movie with starwas quality sfx (which would have added several 0's to the budget). It's notable the Half Life went up again in the charts in the January the film was released, which itself was sometime after the release of the game. Finally we were actually given the go ahead by Sierra's UK office to release the film and then Valve changed their mind.
The base in question is RAF Alconbury which is a fantastic airforce base containing three major underground bunkers capable of withstanding direct nuclear hits, a perfect setting for the film. Last time I visited the SAS had blown the doors of one of the bunkers and left scores of bullet holes in a training mission 'allegedly'.
