The Original FPS Movie Sequence
As I had stated in a prior post, the Doom movie was pretty decent, and the FPS sequence cool. But, it’s not all that original. Way back in 1996 three friends and I did a movie for our end of year project in World History. Somehow we got an A on the project. Not bad considering our budget was $0, the thing was shot with a single old camera (and by old, I mean at the time), edited with two VCRs and the pause button and a little 3 channel mixing board. This became the staple of the following two years of High School. Campy little movies that had plenty of silly moments that seriously made you question our sanity. But on to the real meat and potatoes…
The movie that we created for this year was call A History of Warfare, and was basically a tracing of man from discover weapons like clubs and stones, all the way up to nuclear weapons and beyond. There was some interesting fact sequences in the movie, but the part that really made it stand out was the over the top left field parts. One of the most memorable parts of this movie was the “Doom Sequence”. We were trying to recreate the “gun” portion of the movie, and since my house backed up to 10 acres of woods or so we went out back and had ourselves a little battle.
No please remember while watching this that these parts were never really meant to be taken very seriously and were mostly for the enjoyment of my friends and I, they just happened to get us an A on the project. Also, I am sorry for the quality, but this is a 10 year old tape almost, so there is only so much that I can do in that respect. Without further ado, here is what you guys have come for in the first place:

I hope you enjoy this little clip, and if I get some good feedback I’ll make sure to post some more silliness from my younger days when I get a chance. If nothing else though, I proved that I had the FPS sequence on film long before Doom came out! *grins*
