Could somebody go into Left 4 Dead, get to an outdoors somewhat darkish spot and stand still as a horde comes twards you?. I'm picturing organic (forest and such) outdoors, rather than city outdoors... but try to not get any abandoned cars or anything in the shot. (ideal if there was a light behind you, but not in front)
If possible can you hide your gun? (if there's some devmode thing or something.. I'm not familiar with the source engine, or what you can do...)
If you can't hide the gun, just pull out something that will use the least screen real estate as possible.
If you could do that... and record it that would be immensely helpful for me. (That is, if you send me the footage :P)
As for resolution and compression and all that of the video... the bigger the better. Like... I dunno 20 seconds of footage?
Another one that'd be useful would be to have them just standing around idle, both shots standing in the same place, looking in the same direction.
So I guess... you'd find this dream spot stand there and wait for a little bit... if the horde notices you after a little while great, if not... shoot your gun or something to get their attention haha.
I'd really appreciate it and you'd be awesome forever for it.
It's for a youtube video that I'm planning.
Of course... if you have any questions about my request... ask em haha... or shoot me an IM (AIM = TheJuicyLlama).
Thanks!

Re: Left 4 Dead request.
I would, but my schedule's full until Sunday. For anyone that wants to do this, here's the best way (IMO, anyway) to fit Llama's requests:
- Blood Harvest, versus
- One guy as spectator (I think it has to be a dead guy for L4D), recorder
- Position people as necessary, get proper camera angle
- Boomer hits focused character, goes off-screen
- Plenty of horde attacks, should be able to get a good shot. If not, see previous step.

Re: Left 4 Dead request.
Ohh yay, thanks for the input guys.
I still need the clip however, can anyone help a Llama out? :)
I obtained the game and filmed the shot I wanted. Thanks for your guy's help with the console stuff.
I haven't ever toyed with source stuff... I didn't feel like learning a whole new tool just for a background element for a video. That's why I asked you guys for help. I figured it'd be a five-ten minute job for someone who already has Left 4 Dead, knows how to work the console and it's commands. Garry's Mod probably would have gotten it for me better, but I think what I have will do just fine.

Surprising enough, not everyone has everything needed to do so. :/
