Source Filmmaker vs. Batman

     So I've been on a huge Batman kick ever since I saw The Dark Knight Rises at the midnight premier, and these Team Fortress 2 videos made in Source Filmmaker really hit the spot.  What's Source Filmmaker you ask?  Why it's only the tools game developers Valve use to make movies for their games, such as this spot for TF2 (important details within for understanding a joke in one of the later clips).


     Recently, they released these tools free to the public to do with as they please.  So far, almost every video has involved characters and areas from Team Fortress 2, but that doesn't stop the work people do with Source Filmmaker from being amazing.  Both clips I am highlighting can be seen after the break.


Check out this parody of the interrogation scene from The Dark Knight.  Not only is it hilarious, but I found the animation and lip-syncing to be incredibly well done.  The mannerisms of Heath Ledger's Joker are spot on.

My only complaint is that it doesn't include the whole movie.  Or just the scene, I guess.

Another gem is this spoof of one of the TDKR trailers done completely within Source Filmmaker.  Simply incredible.  

"I'm 2 Fort's reckoning...."

Well done sirs, well done.
