Zachariah Scott has released an amazing Source Filmmaker Short movie that is inspired by Portal 2. As Scott describes, this video was shot on black void, using a rebuild version of glados’ chamber that I put together by hand. The video features music from Lars Erik Fjøsne, however we should also give our thumbs up to JP Neufeld for mixing Glados’ voice to Lars song. In addition, Valve has released a new update for Source Filmmaker, and you can view its complete changelog below. Enjoy!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
