Valve's Source Film maker

Anyone using Valves Source Film maker? If you saw the recent clip meet the medic etc you know the animation it produces from Team Fortress 2.

Been messing about with it today and its pretty easy to get started but i'd reckon pretty hard to master. Anyone managed to make anything good?

After watching them i'm embarrassed to out this up but I guess they are done by professional animators and this is just my first attempt after about 2 hours with the tutorial having never used the software before.

Used 5 or 6 camera's, 4 "actors" added the music and voice and sound effects myself. Clip is only 12 seconds long I know its crap but i'm kinda proud of it

Michael Bay said it needs more explosions and you've got yourself a film.

it is pre production the special effects guys will add Ben Afleck flying a jet into a truck full of petrol.

I see these videos, and they all just remind me how amazing TF2/L4D2 and Valve are.
I love you Valve

All of the videos seem to re-use existing Source engine assets / models, no?
I haven't seen the program itself, but are you restricted from adding your own charater models, etc?

I think this was made using it though it could have been Garry's Mod?

Definitely Garry's Mod. There's a distinct difference in animation quality and rendering quality.
