replicating the actual camera angels and movements here is probably one of the more impressive things. the choreography still holds up too when animated. this is awesome.
Well, he literally is, just not in that sense. G-man is a slang term for "government man" ie agent of some bureau. G-man is called so because he posed as one. Smith and other Agents also pose as so.
Love the fact at 4:03 you so accurately animated Keanu grabbing his safety lines to complete the flip, can see the reference so clearly it's uncanny, phenomenal work
What's really impressive is how you did the facial animations, especially from 3:45 to 3:55, there're so many subtleties in how their lips curl and their cheeks strain that really make the expressions look realistic, even moreso than most cutscenes I see in AAA games nowadays. Great work
I'm _starting to believe_ that this is a seriously underrated channel, and this gem of a vid deserves a few more zeroes at the end of the current view count Instant sub and craving for moar!
It's always extremely disappointing to see amazing animation work like this not done proper justice by the algorithm. 1 month and only 50k views? Not acceptable. Shameful. Do better, UA-cam.
As someone who watched this scene probably about 1000 times, this is absolutely amazing. Even watching at 1:24 the animation managed to replicate the feel of Smith's punches how heavy they are compared to Neo's.
No wonder about DOCTOR Gordon Freeman's abilities in the Matrix after all what he experienced during Black Mesa already. He's highly trained professional, after all!
0:25 I can only imagine how frustrating it must have been for you to get the paper flying in working only for it not making it in for some reason cause only a true fan would spend so long making this
Thanks. Can't actually recall why i haven't added it, might've simply forgot. I remember that i haven't found a suitable model for it. I could've made it myself, but i just forgot.
I gotta say this: The Subway Fight looks so much better in animation. There's more room for fast pace in the movement of the choreography, and the impacts actually feel very powerful and visceral (thought here and there you can tell when the characters are throwing ragdoll attacks fit for puppetry, though they are still overshadowed here) the expressions in animated faces also make up for some of the bland wood acting in the film. And the choice of G-man as Agent Smith was absolute GENIUS!! Hugo Weaving's voice bleeds right into G-Man perfectly.
Back in the early 2000s one of the most common online animation tropes was for people to recreate scenes from The Matrix in Flash, I made a few of them myself in fact, it's great to see this still alive in 2024.
Wow I remember seeing a wip of this a long time ago, I didn't realize you were doing the whole fight. must have been a pain in the ass to animate. I need to make some fighting animations of my own.
Thanks! Well, i wanted to abandon this project, took a long break from working on it. But then i thought to myself - i got all scenes from first SFM back then, when i was less experienced with animation as a whole... i can just make them a little better, acceptable. Probably the biggest project i have ever worked on. It would be dope to see your fighting animations, all the best!)
Now that's a masterpiece, each and every angle, movement and soundtrack cues are on point. I could never imagine how much work went into this, greetings from a fellow Matrix fan❤
Holy shit, one of the best videos S2FM I never seen ! Everything is well done, the movements, everything ! Now next challenge: Recreate the entire movie with half life characters
1:23 Sorry for commenting again, but I keep coming back to this and noticing new things. The way the expression is done for those final couple of frames before the next sequence is so brilliant. The amount of detail you've plopped into this is absolutely unbelievable
Jesus christ, this is one of the best made animations I’ve seen in ages. The smoothness, the details, the way their faces match the face movements in the original clip- Mate, you even have the ticket taking booth break the same way it does in the film, where the top board doesn’t break, which actually gave the stuntman in that scene a concussion. Weird little details like that remain because of how much bloody work must have gone into this…
This is absolutely incredible. I'd be happy to help crowdfunding a full remake of The Matrix on SFM. Hell, with this quality of animation, I'd help funding an entire original feature film. Astonishing job!
As a big matrix fan and half life fan, this ABSOLUTELLY ROCKS! Great job on the animation! (Also the facial animations at 1:20 are insanely good, looks almost real)
I got so engrossed that I just simply expected thr rest of the film to keep playing, this is an amazing animation! I can only imagine the man hours this took to replicate!!!
absolutely amazing! the attention to detail is off the charts! I love gman being an agent too, that was a perfect choice hahah, the choreography especially is fantastic, very good lip sync, just spectacular stuff all around
The whole thing is an amazing recreation top to bottom, but what really stands out to me is just how phenomenal all the little facial expressions are. Part of what made this fight scene so iconic is what it means personally for each of the characters. They're BOTH trying to escape from the matrix, but through opposing means that set each up as an obstacle to the other, and Reeves' and Weaving's performances really sell both the animosity each character has for the other, as well as the ideals that they both fight for with Neo's staunch stoicism in the middle of a life or death battle, and Smith's sadistic glee at the mere idea of causing Neo pain even if it means taking a train to the face himself. You managed to masterfully capture the subtly and humanity behind both of those performances, which I feel is even more of an achievement than recapturing the hype of one of the most bad ass fist fights in all of American cinema. Exceptionally well done!

This is the HL SFM equivalent of an Emmy award, and it's very deserved
Thanks! Love your stuff

"We hope you have a safe and a productive day"
That was a joke. HA HA. No chance.

This comment had me dying 😂
THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING.
Always knew Smith was a Gman
Thanks a lot!
real
Well, he literally is, just not in that sense.
G-man is a slang term for "government man" ie agent of some bureau. G-man is called so because he posed as one. Smith and other Agents also pose as so.
2 pillars of late 1990's pop culture in pure symbiosis.
It just feels RIGHT.
Thanks!
2:39 A legendary moment faithfully recreated
Too iconic)
He needs to make a version of the whole fight but neo only uses the throat attack
Fantastic work. Hope this is your calling card for UA-cam's algorithm to pick you up.
that's why i'm here, youtube algorithm, and it does not disappoint. This is beyond incredible!
Thanks a lot!
Oh shit, hey neo. Not surprised to find you on a SFM video, to be honest.
@@AnAngryRetrO added to favorites, you're welcome
Well, you've got your wish.
Bound to become a half life content classic
Thanks a lot!
at 2:19 i audibly exclaimed YES when i saw the dust particles come off gordon's clothes love that detail in the movie and im glad you put it here
Thanks a lot! Yeaah, me too. Probably missed some particles in other shots, but with this i couldn't.
kind of fitting that this fight takes place in a train station considering that the Half-Life games tend to start/end on trains.
Thanks a lot! Oh, i never thought of that actually. You're right)
This is one of the coolest things to come out of the Half-Life community, INSTANT sub!
Thanks a lot!
Love the fact at 4:03 you so accurately animated Keanu grabbing his safety lines to complete the flip, can see the reference so clearly it's uncanny, phenomenal work
Thanks a lot!
1:19 I got goosebumps, the facial expression is incredibly accurate. Well done.
Thanks a lot!

This look so good. Make you understand how strong original choreo and posing was
Thanks a lot!

I need everyone on planet earth to see what you did.
Thanks a lot!
It's always extremely disappointing to see amazing animation work like this not done proper justice by the algorithm. 1 month and only 50k views? Not acceptable. Shameful. Do better, UA-cam.
Yeah youtube is busy giving skibidi toilet 20 000 000 views 💀
Wtf
1:21 superb animation, that blink before changing the direction of stare is so professional
As someone who watched this scene probably about 1000 times, this is absolutely amazing. Even watching at 1:24 the animation managed to replicate the feel of Smith's punches how heavy they are compared to Neo's.
"Mr.. Anderson..? (chuckle) Ms Vance, you wouldn't NEED all thaat- to imprison.. Mr, Anderson..."
No wonder about DOCTOR Gordon Freeman's abilities in the Matrix after all what he experienced during Black Mesa already. He's highly trained professional, after all!
I like that G-Man actually got hit by the train instead of a keyframe being tweened left out of frame.
Absolutely insane level of quality, I’m shocked I’ve never seen this channel before, this is amazing
Thanks a lot!
This was insanely well done. This video currently having 1.7K views is criminal.
Thanks a lot!

This might be one of the most impressive animations of 2024, the angles the camera, everything is just unreal
Thanks!
Really appreciate the attention to detail like the dust being throw from Gordon/Neo's clothes at 2:19. That was always such a cool bit.
Thanks a lot!
man, you won.
YOU JUST WON.
so detailed, accurate (and even better) plus you know how to s2fm, i respect
Thanks!

its crazy how well animated this is im impressed
Thanks a lot!
0:46 love that detail of gman looking at his weapon
Thanks!
this is criminally underrated, solid job man, the animation actually looks incredible

Better effects than the actual movie, but also can't unsee Stephen McHattie as G Man XD

Dude, this was absolutely phenomenal work I swear, The movements in the animation seemed identical to that scene.
Now that's a masterpiece, each and every angle, movement and soundtrack cues are on point.
I could never imagine how much work went into this, greetings from a fellow Matrix fan❤
Thanks!
I didnt think that this would be so good. Both Gordon and Gman really fit in the matrix universe
Holy shit, one of the best videos S2FM I never seen ! Everything is well done, the movements, everything !
Now next challenge:
Recreate the entire movie with half life characters
Thanks!

Of course some madlad put the throat punch as the highlight with Sponsorblock (don't worry i watched without ads too)
Gordon Freeman be like "I'm gonna do the matrix on this guy"
Thanks a lot!

One of the best SFM animations I ever seen. Congrats 🎉
Now now make it into the YTP throat punch
Thanks a lot! I think somebody will do this iconic meme) I'm gonna do more Half-Life stuff in the future.
@@AnAngryRetrOnow this looks like a job for me (?)
@@erikpng go ahead)
I was keeping this idea to see a scene of Matrix on S2FM. And you did it! Congratulation !😎
Thanks!
This is a masterpiece. Such a shame you don't have more views and subs
Thank you very much!
Genuinely one of the most amazing things I've seen on UA-cam. If you don't already, you should have a career doing this work
Thanks! I already work in gamedev, this channel is just a passion project)
@@AnAngryRetrO outstanding 👏
I like how we all can hear G-Man say _"Mr. Freeman"_ in our heads despite the audio calling him _"Mr. Anderson"_
I like how the dust from the original scene at 2:17 is still present. Glorious!
defines the word masterpiece, bravo vince
Thanks a lot!
The moment when the G man says: “Mister Anderson!” gave me chills!
You put so much work into this, it paid off. May the algorithm be kind to you!
Thanks a lot!
3:55 Unforeseen Consequences
You need to make cutscenes in big AAA games after that much work)
Thanks a lot!
This is one of the greatest SFMs I have ever seen. Kinda wish I could see the whole Matrix film remade. Incredible work.
Gj bro
Thanks bro!
Wake up Gordon.
The Xen has you...
Follow the white Vortigaunt.
10/10 👍
Thanks a lot!
1:18 - absolutely phenomenal animation work. Looks so realistic wow
this is absolutely inSANE how amazing this is, you should be proud of your work, this is phenomenal
Thanks a lot!
Really good attention to detail, you even got the subtle eye expressions that Hugo Weaving did.
Great work! I really dig facial animations during talk.
Thanks!
What a work of art! Be proud!
Thank you very much!
One of the best animations I have seen!
These are one of those videos that should belong to classic youtube.
Absolutely incredible! You replicated the scenes and fight coreography to the most minute detail, masterfuly animated!
Thanks!
This is absolutely incredible. I'd be happy to help crowdfunding a full remake of The Matrix on SFM. Hell, with this quality of animation, I'd help funding an entire original feature film. Astonishing job!

As a big matrix fan and half life fan, this ABSOLUTELLY ROCKS! Great job on the animation! (Also the facial animations at 1:20 are insanely good, looks almost real)
Thanks!
This is going down in hall of fame already.
Thanks!
Just went to see this movie in the theater for the 25th anniversary and it was epic! I love this movie so much!
Anyway, great video as always!
Thanks!
God, even in this animation, 2:19 still gives me goosebumps. it's such a badass scene, and beautifully recreated in this video 🎉
Agent smiths "Mr. Anderson" has the same energy as the Gman whispering "Doctor Freeeemaaaaan...."
He's waiting for you, Gordon... In the Subway Chamberrr.
Amazing work! I really loved the little details, especially the facial expressions.
Yeah, you can tell those 2 years were definitely well spent.
It was perfect. *Perfect* everything down to the last minute details.
It’s now my headcanon that G-Man visits Gordon in stasis every now and then and forces him to remake scenes from the Matrix.
I got so engrossed that I just simply expected thr rest of the film to keep playing, this is an amazing animation! I can only imagine the man hours this took to replicate!!!
this is SO GOOD DUDE
Thanks!
One of the best fight scenes in cinema and lovingly recreated. Bravo!
Thanks!
Whoever made that Skip to Highlight timestamp deserves a raise.
OKAY, THAT 4 MINUTES IS ABLOSULTE MASTERPIECE OF RECREATION.
I've never seen such a high quality animation, can't wait for entire Breaking Bad series in Half Life
IDK what RP server this is but they have a cracked animator.
Damn this was awesome, great work!
god I wish we can have whole movie of this animation with this but there going be so much animation to do for a whole movie it was worth the wait
Gman- "Only Human."
Alyx "Dodge this."
Wow this was incredible! Really well-done! earned a sub right away!
absolutely amazing! the attention to detail is off the charts! I love gman being an agent too, that was a perfect choice hahah, the choreography especially is fantastic, very good lip sync, just spectacular stuff all around
