Description
The Sacrifice has got to be my favorite campaign from both Left 4 Dead games, if only because there was such a great story behind it and whatnot. Though it's mostly shown in the comic, the campaign's still a great experience, and I would recommend it to anyone who gets the game.

I also have had a great desire to try and capture the moment where Bill jumps off to the best of my GModding ability. My first attempt was dismal to the point where its one of the few deviations that I deleted, but this I fell has a better attempt to replicate the scene better.

It's not without its problems. SuperDOF is limited in certain aspects (unless I haven't found out yet how to manipulate them), like the range of what's in the focal not-blurred range. So the other survivors had to be blurred (I think I can get away with that being a stylistic aspect). I could've possibly used some better fire effects but I don't have Photoshop and I'm not that good with GIMP yet to edit in any flames in post-production. I could possibly experiment more with the lighting, though I personally don't feel like going as far as some of the jaw-dropping works I've seen around here. Great as they are, I prefer my works having a little more simplistic and game-ish lighting going on. Plus Louis's faceposing is partially broken and I can't mess with his eyelids for whatever gawdforsaken reason. That was annoying.

Still, I feel proud with this one. And now, I leave you with this epic recut of the Sacrifice trailer: [link]
