Hello Patrons,
I know this isn't technically a Noclip video but many of you were asking for this one. Our production company created another Half-Life documentary for Valve - this one about the iconic Half-Life 2 which recently celebrated it's 20th Anniversary.
The doc without commentary can be viewed on Valve's YouTube channel.
This was a large project for myself and the crew with a lot of moving parts and creative decisions being made in a pretty tight production window. So there's no shortage of stuff to talk about in a 2+ hour director commentary. I rant enough in the video so I'll keep it brief here.
I hope you enjoy the commentary and if you have any questions about the doc and/or it's production please stick them in the comments and I'll reply as soon as I can!

This was originally posted for Bonus Video Patrons only last week but we're in the middle of re-organizing the tiers here and these style videos are going to be for Supporters from now on. Expect more news soon.

Just a quick answer to one of your questions from the commentary: Thanks for including the story about how and where they found the person playing Eli. I knew nothing about it and it's such a unique story, it almost feels unreal. It also serves the purpose of this being the definitive version of the story a little bit. Just massive props to you and the team for pulling this off in the short amount of time you had. All your considerations about the edit and the beats, they work very well and make for a very palatable 2 hour doc. 👍👍👍
