Valve Source Film Maker

It's no secret that the tools video game designers use are becoming increasingly powerful "movie making" editors that can turn anything you dream into reality. And if you're wishing you could use it yourself, you'll like to know that Valve has just released their own internal Source Film Maker - the exact same tool they use to create their own promotional game videos.

Though you can create every single prop, character and every other element by yourself, you can also speed up things considerably by using all the elements Valve puts at your disposal - though, as expected, you'll not be able to use it commercially.
