So, this sounds kind of crazy but I'm trying to find an old Resident Evil short fan film from the 2000's. I saw it back on YouTube when I was a teenager, probably around 2008-2009 or so.
The basic premise was that it was a prequel focused on the character HUNK and was largely shot from a first-person view. The video heavily featured music from Creedence Clearwater Revival as well as generic stock footage and images, and it also noticeably used an RC toy helicopter to depict a scene of HUNK and his crew of mercenaries flying out in a chopper.
Given the CCR tunes and possibly also the stock footage in certain scenes, it's very likely been stricken down by YouTube's copyright bots but I'm not entirely sure since I can't remember the specific title of the original video.
Some other details I figured should be worth noting...
1. The introduction was narration lifted from the 2002 Paul W. Anderson movie adaptation.
2. The introduction narration was followed by stock footage of the Gulf War set to music before the first proper scene of the movie, shot in first-person and showing a sergeant issuing a gasmask to a young HUNK and then that was followed up by a second scene where HUNK joins Umbrella Secret Service and talks to a recruiter at a desk.
3. The music was largely Creedence Clearwater Revival songs probably ripped from a CD, with three songs in particular standing out.
"Fortunate Son"
"Bad Moon Rising"
"Travelin' Band"
I can't be the only one who saw this fan film back in the day, can I?
