I sent this to my dad cause he's a talking heads fan and he'd played the half life games back around when they originally came out so I figured he'd appreciate it. I walk in on him watching this on his phone absolutely grinning. thanks for making something my dad liked so much it means alot to me
Canon Gman’s only exposure to humanity before he was assigned by his superiors was the music video of Once in a Lifetime, and you can’t change my mind.
proof talking heads is the g-man in the song "born under punches" david bryne says "i'm a government man" government man = g-man half-life: talking heads confirmed
@@buddette5513 It looks like that, but there's more to it. When there's motion blur, you can see the green screen effect better, which wouldn't happen from chromatic aberration alone.
G-man's Employers: "Per our contract, we have granted you the ability to perceive and travel in the fifth dimension. We trust you know what to do with this." G-man:
It’s even better when it looks like gman was poorly green screened in. The model doesn’t have that effect, Corey spent effort to intentionally make it look low effort.

Angry Bidoof basically this animator made a parody video of bugs bunny with very crude jokes including bugs bunny being a serial rapist. The video got taken down with the reason being it was their property. So technically speaking that video is there property and that bugs bunny is theirs

After watching and coming back to this a few times, I just noticed that you can sometimes see the slightest bit of green outlining gman’s body, as if he actually was in front of a green screen like the original. Except that wouldn’t be unintentional in an animation, that would have to be painstakingly added in. God damn.
Easiest way to do it would be to just do the animation with a green background export it and then do the green screen effect in an editing software the same way you would for anyrhing else. Its not the worst thing but is deffinetly extra effort they didn't have to go through.
The best part of this video is that you inadvertently introduced Talking Heads to a bunch of people who didn't know who they were before. That's a net positive for the world.
Can’t believe it took me more than thirty years to work the double meaning out. My god! What have I done? - “I’ve done something terrible.” My god! What have I done? - “I’ve done nothing.” Which is worse?
Maybe it's because it's Gman. But I can totally see this being made it Gmod back in 2007 and I think that's amazing. You really nailed the animation in this!
If i remember correctly they actually used a blue screen in the original, but i could see how that would be difficult with the blue suit and everything.
I believe it is called juxtaposition. Something cute to contrast something grim. Case in point, Warhammer 40k. In the grim darkness of the future, there is only war and children's playground arguments.
0:32 _"You may find yourself in another part of the world..."_ That's actually a quite fitting quote for G-man, considering how Half-Life 1 takes place in New Mexico, while Half-Life 2 takes place in eastern Europe.
I had to take a minute to shout out how much I adore the "bad greenscreen" lines around G-Man here. Really nailing that 80s "bad bluescreen" look from the original video. It's those tiny little extra things that really sells it man. Great job!
I mean this with 100% sincerity: This affects me on an emotional level in a way that the original didn't even do Like, I knew before what David Byrne was saying but now I like, GET it I FEEL it
You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful citadel?" You may ask yourself, "Where does that train to Nova Prospekt go to?" And you may ask yourself, "Am I the right man? Am I in the wrong place?" And you may say to yourself, "My God! What have I done?"
I can't tell if your animation has gotten smoother since this or if it's just that David Byrne was really stiff in the original music video and you captured it perfectly
Not gonna lie. This was Always a radio song for me as I had no clue of it's name or it's artist. And was only played on the radio as I knew no one that would play this song elsewhere, so It has stayed under my radar. Now I know both Name and Artist and the actual video that this is based on. What a fucking rabbit hole for the day dude! Thanks!!!
And you may find yourself standing in a testing chamber. And you may find yourself wearing a HEV suit. And you may find yourself behind the bar of a large push-cart. And you may find yourself in a beautiful cascade, with a beautiful crowbar. And you may ask yourself, "..."
I love this video. Its such a fantastic Passion Project. It comes across my recommended videos every now and again and I always watch it. Then afterwards I am humming the tune to myself for days. Much Love Corey
Honestly, this song encapsulates the ethos of the G-Man perfectly. The uncertainty of self. Seemingly being in multiple places at once, yet not knowing where. And yet, in the end, acceptance and no fear. I love it.
I swear, The G-Man Model from Alyx is so realistic it keeps confusing my brain slightly, especially in the close ups. The fact that you animate it so well probably doesn’t help XD

I believe it is called juxtaposition. Something cute to contrast something grim. Case in point, Warhammer 40k. In the grim darkness of the future, there is only war
and children's playground arguments.
We make fun about a game which is literally the most depressing thing ever created.
@@gastlygod10 Haha, Very funny /s/
I have a idea *distorted lifetime*
@@aftertale238 very very very very very funny yes
/shit
0:32 _"You may find yourself in another part of the world..."_
That's actually a quite fitting quote for G-man, considering how Half-Life 1 takes place in New Mexico, while Half-Life 2 takes place in eastern Europe.
1 million witnesses to this masterpiece
I had to take a minute to shout out how much I adore the "bad greenscreen" lines around G-Man here. Really nailing that 80s "bad bluescreen" look from the original video.
It's those tiny little extra things that really sells it man. Great job!
I believe the effect you're referring to is Chromatic Aberration, FYI.
@@carrotsporks not really, with chromatic aberration you get a rainbowed outline, but this outline is just green
caught that too! very nice!
@@dsdy1205 there is also chromatic aberration used
It's the same as it ever was
I mean this with 100% sincerity:
This affects me on an emotional level in a way that the original didn't even do
Like, I knew before what David Byrne was saying but now I like, GET it
I FEEL it
You and me both
Maybe you fee something because his song has a really good message
That why I have always come back to this song for years
You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful citadel?"
You may ask yourself, "Where does that train to Nova Prospekt go to?"
And you may ask yourself, "Am I the right man? Am I in the wrong place?"
And you may say to yourself, "My God! What have I done?"
And you may say to yourself "my god, what are you doing??"
“There’s black Mesa underground”

"this is not my ridiculous tie"
It would be bad if you don't have my like
LETTING THE HEADCRABS GO BY!
I thought G-Man's motions was really strange and robotic, but then I watched the original, and they're spot on! Amazing video!
I love how you even managed to replicate the imperfection of the green screen key. Great work!!
I thought that was just chromatic abberation at first. But I guess G-man was in front of a green background then the usual techniques were used.
He finally finished it, the absolute madman.
The right animator in the wrong place, can make all the music, in the world.
so, wake up, wake up and smell the ashes
@@pyrogaming5560 So...
Wake up, Mister Laddo.
Wake up and smell the views.
No regrets, Dr. Freeman.
You may found yourself... In a beautiful city 17, with a beautiful Gravity Gun!
And you may ask yourself... "Well, how did I get heerrrre"
I can't tell if your animation has gotten smoother since this or if it's just that David Byrne was really stiff in the original music video and you captured it perfectly
Actually got me in to Talking Heads, thanks dude.
Sameee, after I heard once in a life time here, i listened to remain in light and speaking in tounges
@@ians9045 Their best two albums!
"How did I get this beautiful wife and beautiful house?!" says no Millennial
They prefer the "polycule" anyway.

*"This is how I hire my employers Gordon" - GMAN*
Looks like it's about to go to 1 million views
999K
Almost there
WE'RE THERE NOW
Me: Wait, gman sang this, not David Byrne and the Talking Heads?
Gordon: 🔫👀 Same as it ever was
Nic3
Maybe David Byrne and G-Man are the same person...
Gordon:
Always has been:
Always has been: "Have I been replaced?"
It's just Talking Heads. No "the".
If you ever so a follow up, do Thomas Dolby's song from the movie Toys, The Mirror Song. That would really fit the G-Man.
Y e s
HELLO YOU
"Hyperactive!" would look good in SFM as well, lol
Do you put this on your bum ?
*H E L L O Y O U*
My god...WHAT HAVE I DONE!?
As a character modeller, rigger and animator: Colour me damned impressed!
I've eagerly awaited this, you absolute king.
This is like 60 minutes in Black Mesa
😂
“Where does that highway go to?”
To a nice lighthouse.
Oh yes!
This is simultaneously incredibly out of character and incredibly in character.
Close-ups on G-Man's face during this animation are hypnotizing, nice job.
I've lost count of the amount of times I've watched this
Time isn't holding up
Time is irrelevant
Same as it ever was.
same
Losing your head?
"My god, what have I done!?" *Footage of Resonance Cascade*
"Time to wake up, Doctor freeman"
Freeman: w-wuh?
0:27
I don't know what creeps me out more: The fact that the G-Man is having a mental breakdown, or the fact that it isn't David Byrne
Yes
Not gonna lie. This was Always a radio song for me as I had no clue of it's name or it's artist. And was only played on the radio as I knew no one that would play this song elsewhere, so It has stayed under my radar. Now I know both Name and Artist and the actual video that this is based on. What a fucking rabbit hole for the day dude! Thanks!!!

Well how did I get here *teleports to Xen*
Underrated comment
And you may say, “…”

I love this video. Its such a fantastic Passion Project. It comes across my recommended videos every now and again and I always watch it. Then afterwards I am humming the tune to myself for days. Much Love Corey
Honestly, this song encapsulates the ethos of the G-Man perfectly. The uncertainty of self. Seemingly being in multiple places at once, yet not knowing where. And yet, in the end, acceptance and no fear. I love it.
HOW DID I GET HERE?!
The once in a lifetime song cover is under our control for the time being thanks to you...
This is THE BEST
SFM is such a blessing
I swear, The G-Man Model from Alyx is so realistic it keeps confusing my brain slightly, especially in the close ups. The fact that you animate it so well probably doesn’t help XD
