Valve recently created a beta for the tool they use to make their cinematics. This tool is called source film maker (sfm). Go to http://sourcefilmmaker.com/ if you want to participate in the beta. It is basically a mix of a modeling program (3ds/maya/c4d), a movie making program (vegas/premiere), and aftereffects. Or something like a mix of gmod with a movie editor.
