These guys shot a real-life first person shooter — with random people taking control

Who needs video games like Doom or Half Life when you've got a production company in England that'll give you a real live-action first person shooter instead.

British film company Realm Pictures recently shot a live shooter game, with the actions controlled entirely by unsuspecting users of internet video sites such as ChatRoulette, Omegle, and Skype. The results were amazing.

"Many years ago we experimented with the concept of 'random stranger' control - and one afternoon strapped a webcam to my head while someone followed me around with a laptop," David Reynolds, a director at the company, told Tech News Today. "The idea stuck in my head - and eventually resurfaced while we were talking about fun projects for the summer. We decided to throw some of our indie film tricks behind it and see what happened."
