I like how Gordon is portrayed as a real person in this situation and how they would actually react. When we play the game we don't think about that we portray Gordon as this bad-ass Scientist with a PhD in Alien Ass-kicking who just doesn't give any fucks but in reality He would b just like any of us, vomiting at the sight of fellow Scientists crushed in an elevator accident.
I would believe that he'd be that way, being the "badass with a PHD" towards the end of Half Life 1 and the entirety of HL2 and its episodes, where he's been completely desensitized to violence and the horrors of Xen.
The elevator crash scene, I used to laugh my ass off at the corny screams and ridiculous explosion. Here, it is presented in a whole new light and has me feeling sad. Amazing.
I also find it a bit more realistic how Gordon gets glass shards wedged in the side of his face considering he was standing right in front of the doors.
So many walking scenes must be detrimental to the flow of animation, which makes me think he's most likely doing it for artful reasons. For instance in the previous episode, animating Gordon walking up to the test chamber's ladder and proceeding to climb, must have taken many hours. A lot of that could have been cut, yet, it does add to the building suspense.
this is really really good. while the specific details of the animation are a little bit stiff, what those animations convey, combined with the stellar cinematography and editing really get you into gordon's head without him needing to say a word
I love how humane Gordon is, his expressions, acts and body language makes him so real, I LOVE IT! I'm already hooked on this, so I dearly hope another episode soon!
Even the relationship between Kleiner and what I assume is to become Lamarr is well portrayed. I love your work, pinwheel. The amount of humanity you have imbued into Gordon, from fear to pain (especially with the glass in his face) is amazing.
You really did an amazing job here ! This intro was awesome and you really did a great job at representing how a normal human would react to all this gory. Also the close-up on Gordon's face when he takes the shards out or is attitude after seeing what he has done to these poor scientists trapped in the elevator. No really this is just fantastic !
This animation is where gordon is like an actual person. Can't wait until it comes to the parts where he's battling a whole fucking army. Don't stop I wanna know how this is gonna end because this is beatiful
Man, this is probably the best thing I've seen in SFM in a while. You've really improved a lot. The camera angles in this part were really well done especially at 2:06. And that intro, my God. I forgot I was watching an SFM video for a second. It was so well done it looks like something from an offical TV show. The animation is still a bit jittery but, that's to be expected with SFM. All I gotta say is, keep up the great work man.
This reminds me a whole lot about a project I was going to do some time ago, but unfortunately lacked the artistic talent to pull off (even to the title itself). You've done a really good job so far, doing what Valve never did with Gordon. Giving him Character.
Definately getting the "Gordon will need a lot of therapy after this" vibes. And i can read what he's thinking while he doesn't even say a single word! Good job!
Great animation. Would you consider adding the HEV suit voice to various things Gordon goes through? Things like "Blood loss detected" or "Minor lacerations detected" etc when appropriate. In my opinion it would add to the immersion.
I can say your animations aren't 100% perfect, but the editing and creativity you have... Are the best (to be honest, the part where gordon took off the glass shreds from his face surprised me)... Can't wait to see the next episodes and see you getting better and better! Keep up the awesome work ya doin there! :D
Occasional wonky animation notwithstanding, that was some pretty impressive stuff. The elevator sequence was well done. And that intro is just bad-ass. Keep up the good work!
The animation may not be the smoothest, but for sure there was effort and love put in making it a very enjoyable experience and one that makes me want to watch more.
broooo the amount of terror and horror in gordon's eyes just in that short bit where he had t crawl under the desk that was spilling down blood like rain... you could just tell he was panicking but also resigned to it, so well animated
@@randomboi6350 "head humper" is not a scientific or technical term. Both headcrabs and jockeys are called head humpers. It's like calling you an idiot, but then someone else says "no, he can't be an idiot, because someone else is an idiot."
Yes, that is intended to be Lamarr. This appears in Black Mesa, the redone Half Life 1 aswell. That gives backstory for Lamarr and why Kliener loves him so much.
now heres my comment after watching the video i really love what you have done with everyone making kliner look like he is going to have a panic attack Gordon's reaction to the glass in his face and him throwing up after witnessing death for the first time he looking away from the body with that thing in his eye i loved how you gta 5 it in the control room lol this was worth the wait even tho it did not fell like it before this released but thats because there was only 1 ep out thats the hardest time to wait for something
I love how you added the humanistic detail of Gordon vomiting after the elevator plunges. Because that is typical real life reaction for most people when they understand they just caused the death of another human.
I head j j abrams wanted to ruin HL with a "film" (or what ever that man call his shit), and i feared that there would be no way to stop that mad man from ruining stuff i love. But Pinwheel, you have the power, you are the chosen one. Make us proud Pinwheel, as you are, you doing good!! The gory take on it, and the shocked reactions of freeman is fantastic, i love it, and the fact that you creeping so close to the events of the game, fitting in the dialog so it sound so natual. I'm very interested in if freemans gonna remain completely silent, personally i'm not against him saying something at som point (maybe not words) i just mean i buy that he's a man of few words, but would someone really be able to get a job if they never spoke a word? The only thing I can be critical on, is the movements like the hands and stuff, but of course i know that because limits you ain't really in control of. But i just feel a need to say it this once, as to point out how perfect this is, it's like a scratch in a golden lamborghini, like -0.0001 one a clear 10/10 Landing this on a 9,9999/10 But im gonna round down to 2 digits anyways. My god, keep up this awesome work. Sincerely a big fan of HL and now also your work.
i really love the small details you guys have put in certain scenes, like the blood in the observation room, when Gordon realized whats happening and vomited (really shows character). i saw the first episode when it first came out, and after seeing this? im really hyped for part 2!
Mocapped or not, this is a FANTASTIC series and I love it so much. You've directed it extremely well - very natural character reactions and interaction.
Is he's going to be without the helmet? You can make him carry it like he did in the poster for RTB, and it would make your job easier by removing some facial expressions in the moments filled with action. It can work, so as both versions are officially canon. Yeah, nice work! Take any time you need to release another one, better wait some time and get something, rather than have a rushed one. Yee.
@YayDude123 Freeman is literally just 🗿 the whole time. But I guess that is why people make animations like this. Although Half-Life Alyx showed us Freeman putting his glasses back on, as well as how damaged his HEV Suit had gotten over the course of Half-Life 2 and it's Episodic Expansions, when Gman recruited Alyx.
The animation needs some fine-tuning, but apart from that, I think this is my favourite portrayal of Dr. Freeman. A lot of people portray him as stone-cold and a bad-ass (he still is the latter), but in this, he acts a lot more humane. He's scared, he's worried, he needs to stop a bit now and then to assess the situation and has no idea what's actually going on. Kinda like how you as a player felt the first time you played the game. Like, instead of portraying him as the character, you're portraying him as the player, if that makes any sense. I love it.
Amazing stuff, keep them coming man! Loved how you pictured Freeman. He gets afraid, hurt and that puking part was an incredible touch of realism. Can't wait for the rest!
Rewatching this video, I 've seen animux one. In his SFM, the characters movement is more human but, they aren't expressive. Your SFM characters aren't that smooth but, they are more expressive.
Damn, that's just amazing! Great job! I forgot why I was subbed to you, but saw it was Half-Life! I know EXACTLY why I'm subbed! Keep up the great work!
This may have been poorly animated, but how you pulled off the concept alone was so cool that I just couldn't stop watching. the first two minutes of Anomalous Materials put me off, but now I'm gonna give it a second chance. hope you get keep it up and get better!
oy, how have I not kept up with this for....almost a year o.o didn't realize parts 1/2 of Unforeseen Consequences were out already, heh. Looks great so far, keep up the great work :D
I love how realistic freeman is, he looks just as desperate and worried as the scientists trying to survive.
Are you joking? He looks like a cyborg
@ he means the reactions dumbass... Not the movement
i love when you say "i love" word
He is far from gorgeous freeman

Notice his jaw trembling before he vomits huh
@@p_filippouz I'd say he is arguably at least some what up there towards the end of the game or at least Half Life 2.
The elevator crash scene, I used to laugh my ass off at the corny screams and ridiculous explosion. Here, it is presented in a whole new light and has me feeling sad. Amazing.
I still laughed at it. Shits funny
I also find it a bit more realistic how Gordon gets glass shards wedged in the side of his face considering he was standing right in front of the doors.

Without forcing them to think like you
I really like how we see Gordon as much more human.
Gordon was a trained professional from Black Mesa. But I always wonder, even to this day...why Gordon never had access to the retinal scanner????
Yeah!
ACCESS DENIED
Because of the system crash remember? Since he was late, he didn't have time like other scientists to get put back into the security system.
*point insertion*
It was his first day on the job also supposedly i dont think he was even in the system yet
kyle the dued lol alrighty 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Freeman: Only human, after all...
The blood effect is nice. I can't wait for part two
Watching the opening credits for this it felt like something out of a TV show. Very well done.
