Hollywood handsome: live action Half Life short 'Escape From City 17'
Just overlook a few parts, like the floppy-rubber-masked Overwatch, the, uh, not quite so menacing headcrab zombie flash at the end: the Purchase Bros.' "Escape From City 17" short, for a team that heretofore were basically unheard of, is as strong a debut as you could ask for.
Their Coke Babies short, seen here, is actually quite nice as well.

those are some very unscary zombies, otherwise consider myself impressed.
I always found Half-Life 2 had a very believably strange setting and they captures it quite well.

Wow.
They've really chosen their locations well - very believable. And the game vehicles are combined quite nicely with the footage.
I hope there's a lot more coming. :-)
