Basicly, (And I'm not positive), but I believe the blackout.mdl does what it sounds like, and blacks out the camera. If it begins active, and on map start slowly disables, it givs the appearence of waking up. Then it's all triggers / camera movements for the rest of the motion.

Edit: I hate laptop keyboards.

A camera is parented to it. Its also used in hl2 episode 2's intro, and in the final video of portal. Im wondering how i can edit it and add my own animation to it.

You'd have to create a new model in a 3D-modeling program like 3dsMax or Blender.
