I certainly can be. I twould take a lot of time to set up a relaiable frameowrk, but if you would be using mocap, things would go a lot smoother after that. Copying all the assets would be a first hurdle, I doubt that the tools would be very kind with textures and such.

You can always try Blender. It has the marked points well covered, as well as the others. The problem is that you would have to convert the models and I havent found a real way to import maps (maybe rip them with a pipline spy). http://www.chaosincarnate.net/cannonfodder/cftools.htm tool to convert Source models to SMD https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Category:Blender SMD tools used to import the models to Blender http://www.moddb.com/games/half-life-2/tutorials/how-to-import-source-models-in-blender a handy tutorial Of course, then your videos would lose the tag machinima, but maybe that's ok?

So, they asked you to pay for the things they didn't do?

I've heard that egg carton is a good echo isolator. Should be quite cheap too.
