Valve Software Ep. 4: All Your History S1E19 (Game Development History)

From Half-Life to Left 4 Dead 2, Valve has been one of the trailblazers of the video game industry. In this fourth episode of our retrospective, watch and see how Valve’s long-delayed Half-Life 2 is finally unleashed onto the world next to Steam, its digital distribution service. Both were incredible gambles for the independent company — both of which paid off in spades

The reason I chose to shoot indoors (with and without artificial light) was to better illustrate “extreme” conditions – knowing that people shoot video “inside” all the time with little regard for light sources.

Notes:

* I didn’t edit the raw footage for a reason; compare sources for yourself.
* The Evo seems to have a wider field of view compared to the iPhone.
* The iPhone audio sampling rate is 44k (64Kbps) vs 8k (12.8Kbps) on the Evo.
* Sunshine through my red curtains was difficult for each camera to handle.
* The Evo lens seems to tint blue or red at times.
* Frame rates were diminished on each device: 24fps (iPhone) vs 11fps (Evo).
* The Evo produces an MPEG-4 “3GP” file vs an MPEG-4 “MOV” file from the iPhone.
* The default Evo camera app is superior in features, but lackluster in performance.
* Research indicates the Evo upscales 320p to 720p, FWIW.

Clearly, the Evo (with default settings) doesn’t hold a candle to the iPhone 4 (with default settings). I’m sure other camera apps would force the device(s) to record differently, but this test was designed to compare phone defaults.

While the iPhone isn’t perfect, I’d certainly consider it a Flip, Kodak Zi*, and Vado killer.

You are more than welcome to upload your own tests as video responses to this.

Song: Fallen Leaves
Interpret: Billy Talent
Album: Billy Talent II

Lyrics:
In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground

I hitched a ride, until the coast
To leave behind, all of my ghosts
Searching for something, I couldnt find at home

Cant get no job, can you spare a dime?
Just one more hit, and Ill be fine
I swear to God, thisll be my one last time!

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground

When it gets dark, in Pigeon Park
Voice in my head, will soon be fed
By the vultures, that circle round the dead!

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground

I never once thought, Id ever be caught!
Staring at sidewalks, hiding my track marks!
I left my best friends, or did they just leave me?

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground

Run away before you drown!
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground

If your impatient the most intense part is from 1:30 to 2:40, however the beginning sets the scene well and gives it an ominous and dramatic mood so I recommend watching the whole thing I recorded this from the Greyhound bus on our way from Airlie Beach to Hervey Bay, believe it was close to Rockhampton. The fires were burning all the way down to the road and I could actually feel the heat from the flames inside of the bus. Apparently the fires had been raging for some twenty odd days in the area by then. This capture was made on the evening of 20th Oct 2009.

From the look of it the firefighters had just cordoned off the area and allowed for traffic to pass when suitable, the entire area was so dry that it seemed implausible that much more than an attempt to limit the spread seemed likely.
