I played the whole Half Life with this in my mind. Like "Ain't this suit supposed to shelter me from hostile environments? How can it do that if my head is exposed?" Then I got to Xen and saw the dead scientists with helmets on and I was like "oooooh I was wearing a helmet all along"
One of my biggest life crisis was when I played Half Life 1 again at 30 years old and realized Gordon Freeman is 27 with a Ph.D from MIT. As a kid, I never thought I’d ever be 27 years old.... And as an adult, I realize I didn’t accomplish shit. Lol
@@snazzymcnazmy There are also programs now where one can obtain an associate's degree while simultaneously pursuing their high school diploma. That, combined with getting an accelerated bachelor's means he could definitely achieve a doctorate by 27.
Well he is pretty young for a PHD holder, probably hasn't written a lot on the subject, definitely the youngest of anyone in the facility short of the security guards, at least in the original. Could you imagine any of the old scientists being nimble enough to pass the Hazard Course though to get certified? My dad is like 50 now and he would be aching by and in pain by the time they had you crawling in vent space. And they want you to jump off a scaffolding close to the end of it.

I might sound a bit like a stuck up snob for this, but I do appreciate the long and drawn out cuts. It really brings out the idea of how this was all supposed to be another mundane day at work for Gordon.
I feel the exact same way. You worded it well, and you do not sound like a stuck up snob at all to me, don't worry. Thank you for wording these thoughts I share so well.
I disagree. The long drawn out cuts immerses you in the world of it. It SHOWS how it was just another day at work and nothing else. rather than just jumping to the disaster. Its called story pacing and its one of the reason why i love this series so much, as much as it pains me that it will never be finished. i hope someone else takes this mental.
I love how this is more slower like an old school sci-fi "science gone crazy" film. Really fits the situation. You have a legit talent for cinematography and building tension.
Gordon can be late if he wants to. He can let his friends move ahead. Because his friends are all on time, and if they're all on time, then they're no friends of mine.
Let's face it: with all his degrees Gordon is doing an assistant job in the Black Mesa. Technician even. Go there, grab that, press the button, push the cart. Nothing's breaking down even if this guy's running late 2 hours. I'm not sure whether Gordon feels highly unmotivated because of being underappreciated and doing unqualified labour, or if he is unappreciated and untrusted with anything important because of stunts like this.
@John Johnson_5 I see. Like how to screw the world up without screwing up. On a serious note though, if he's entrusted with pushing buttons now, imagine what heights he can reach when he learns some responsibility and starts arriving at work at the beginning of the day! Hell, they may even let him to **HL2 spoiler alert** connect _plugs!_ Now that's what we call career opportunities!
Just think about being personally involved with bleeding edge tech. The test couldn't even begin without Gordon. This isn't "pushing buttons", this is an agency making the most advanced experiments in the world at the time, and Gordon was personally there operating the most advanced machinery in the world, manually handling a priceless crystal from another world. I can't say this can get more demotivational than any other job there is.
And yet, he somehow managed to fvck up both the military and the aliens at the same time. He even got through some of those highly dangerous situations that barely any man can make it through.
The helmet was a much needed addition. He's always shown without it, yet in the game he has a HUD that projects to the inside of the face shield and it would not be much protection if his head was exposed.
Man i always disliked how outside of the gameplay itself, it was always implied that he never wore the helmet Besides, the helmet is like the coolest part of the HEV suit, atleast appearance-wise
could have a glasses attachment or a hologram on the suit collar projecting straight into his eye's like those smart glasses that are coming out eventually.
@Nintendough I noticed in the black mesa remake, when you go up to the balcony to start the machine, on the console there's a button that says "emergency shutdown" with a sticky note that says "fix ASAP!"
6:12 Gordon's mind: "Something's not right. Everyone is so tense, not just standard amount of Black Mesa tense. What is going on? And what is that sample? Who send it and why now?"
Dude. This animation is amazing. It’s not the most fluid animation, but the cinematography is pure gold. The resonance cascade is definitely my favorite part of the entire game. It’s just so intense, with the scientists on the verge of panic: “Shutting down. Attempting shutdown! It’s- It’s not- It’s not shutting down!”
I never understood why they had Gordon physically in the chamber to move the cart... you'd think with all the technology that it would be completely automated.

@@PinwheelArts I don't know if you're familiar with Alan Clarke's work ? He was using a lot of long take just following the characters with a steadycam in his work, like in Made in Britain, or The Firm
Big fan of Alan Clarke. He was one of the first filmmakers I got into when “getting into film”. Elephant, despite how unpleasant and bleak it is, is something I can’t stop coming back to.
He does actually speak,but valve wanted you to project as gordon so they removed his voice lines and just hoped that you'd substitute. Like "Hey,Guard,Let's go!" And then the guard replies.
Makes no sense, there are probably only 2-3 chapters in all of Half-Life with enough story to make an SFM. You wouldn't want to just watch an animation of some guy shooting aliens.
Amazing! Love all the little touches like how the audio is drowned out when the two scientists are about to let him through the door, the fistbumps, shakey camera, etc... Feels so much more alive!
Finally a Half-Life themed Video that is calm and NORMAL in it's own special way. It shows how normal the BMRF actually can be. And quite boring if one thinks about it. But You still managed to deliver it's monotone office-like atmosphere interesting enough for the viewer. Altough i have to admit (even tough i'm a patient viewer myself) that some scenes could be a tad bit shorter, but nonetheless it's still looked promising. Apart from the somewhat "unfinished" or, we could say "unpolished" animations, i am looking forward for more videos like this to come! It's a nice exchange for all the action packed and hollywood-like mini-sfm movies one sees here in UA-cam. Keep it up Mate! Also: I loved the reactions You put into the characters. Gives them a more humane perspective, Ya know? And last but not least: Some atmospheric / background noises would be nice, as one could only hear the voices in the video and that's it. Still, ya made an ace job!
P¡ℤ☡λ - ℙⅈᵴ$ It would have been great if all the scientists screamed the entire time like every other person's mod out there. I definitely never get tired of that. This is not refreshing because it keeps in tone with Half Life.
As a fan of half-life since the early 2000's I always thought that the story of the game was deserving of a movie... Thank you for making it almost real!
"Dr." is reserved for medical doctors. One of my family relatives once announced himself as a "doctor" when boarding an aircraft. During the flight someone fell ill and so of course the aircrew came looking for my relative... Guess he looked a bit stupid when he had to say he was the wrong kind of doctor!
Turns it even worse: It may or may not be reserved for medical doctors--it depends on where you live... "Oh, you wanker, don't be so sil--" "See for yourself: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_(title)" "..."
My friends and I had a running joke in school that the reason that Gordon never spoke was because he was hungover, and was trying to pretend he wasn't. I like this film because it holds up.
I remember the first time I played - when the crisis started in the test chamber, I kept trying to make it to the exit and got warped away both times just as I reached the door. It was so immersive.
+spongedog 001 that's what I thought - a few people have asked why he isn't in a lab coat, but you wouldn't wear your lab wear on the commute. It would be extremely unhygienic. Gordon has sharp dress sense in my version of the lore.
In the original Half-Life,he has a proper model because of the multiplayer element. But Half-Life 2 doesn't have the multiplayer element so they just had that black statue as a placeholder.
Damn, half life created something that's inseparable. I mean no matter what u make, a mod, a video, a teaser, anything related to half life, it just works. It's addictive and it's consuming. Love every bit of this ❤️ Love black Mesa, Gordon and everything in between. Half life = complete gaming life
Brilliant! Thank you for including the helmet, ive always enjoyed the helmet player model and wish it was included more in the art and gameplay itself but oh well.
I think you did amazingly with the SFM. The animations with Gordon and the other characters were smooth, although some had a noticeable amount of blur. Limes were synced well and the music for well. My only other complaint, aside from the blur, was some characters felt too stiff and some of the pathing was noticeably odd.
"Gordon, if you can go over to the delivery chute you can collect the sample....I hope you remembered to bring a pound coin with you, we got the trolley from Tesco's car park - Barney stole it when no-one was looking and we haven't had a chance to change the lock thing on it yet...."
This is great! I really like that you dimmed Gordon's eyes. Personally I think the music from 3:18 onward was better in the previous video, it gave a feeling of something big and epic going on. It also seems like the scientists are still screaming after they're dead, but those are just details. Looking forward to the next part :)
+Jana Zachovalová I agree on the music during the HEV strut section, I just wanted to avoid using copyrighted music so kind of composed a knock off. Next part coming soon!
"[Barney's] bar tab must have finally caught up with him." And I'm ded. A buddy of mine and I one time tried to see how many beers we could get from the guards before the test chamber incident removed that dialogue option. The rules were no more than 2 beers per guard and no using cheat codes (like noclip)to get to restricted places. I think we got up to like 14 beers before we ran out of guards.
This is amazing! Feels like how the day actually should've gone instead of the ridiculous events in stuff like Freeman's Mind, Make Your Time, and Gorgeous Freeman.
You have improved a lot! The camera work is much better, but your animation still needs work. The character's movements are too stiff and abrupt. Just keep practicing, and you'll get better. I look forward to seeing your next animation! And P.S, I'm glad you took note of my comment on the Super Metroid audio in the opening scene, I'm surprised you cared to fix such a minor little detail. :)
+Kyle Morgan thanks! I didn't really do a great much to the animation itself, or I'd never get round to continuing the series - this was really for the sake of character models and audio fixes. Hopefully the animation will start to improve over the next few episodes!
I was hoping someone else caught the mix of Lower Norfair music and....what I vaguely remember as sounds from the final boss (which doesn't make sense for a few reasons- because you'd be hard pressed to die with the hyper beam) I just wasn't sure how to bring it up o.o That being said, this was really well done and I can't wait for future installments ^^ (er, that is if you plan on continuing this as a series o.o)
If Gordon gets an HEV suit for himself, which was hinted at during the hazard course, that means he's not just some intern like person, they wouldn't fit and build an HEV suit for just some button presser, and say, once he eventually quit, retire, or out grew his suit, would he be allowed to keep it? Since it was built for his size alone?
Freeman just walks into the coffee shop and stares at the barristas till they figure out what he wants and place the right coffee in front of him at which point he picks it up and walks off
The thing that made me cry at the start of the game was.. The death of the two scientists who let us inside the Test Chamber They kept saying, "We believe in you!" And, "We have confidence in you!" And all, it just made their death's sad ;~; Yep, the two at 6:25 moved me quite emotionally ;~;

@M4m4 Lu191 what does that mean?
i wonder how hard it is to have friends without speaking
he can emote. that's one way to communicate.
Love the long shots and lesser cuts, amazing camera work !
Thanks! Most people criticise the long takes but I've always been a big fan of slow cutting and oners in film so I try to emulate that style.
@@PinwheelArts Keep that up! I personally love that style as well, as to me, long cuts = skill, most of the time.
@@PinwheelArts I don't know if you're familiar with Alan Clarke's work ? He was using a lot of long take just following the characters with a steadycam in his work, like in Made in Britain, or The Firm
Big fan of Alan Clarke. He was one of the first filmmakers I got into when “getting into film”. Elephant, despite how unpleasant and bleak it is, is something I can’t stop coming back to.
@@PinwheelArts to be honest, his work's influence on your craft shows a bit in this video

You know, I LOVE how this SFM is done without jokes or memes, just as if it would a serious movie, keep it up! I really enjoyed it.
1:34 so this doesn't count as a joke

i love the directing on this. The pacing and atmosphere was really nice
same. well shot and characters feel alive and like actual people.
How did he get a PhD without talking
+CakesAreVeryCool he’s got The Shinning.
Online classes.
He does actually speak,but valve wanted you to project as gordon so they removed his voice lines and just hoped that you'd substitute. Like "Hey,Guard,Let's go!" And then the guard replies.
It would be politically incorrect to fail a mute
He menacingly stared at everyone until they caved in and just gave him the PhD
This is amazing!! I love how you managed to keep Gordon in character and at the same time make him more human! Love the brofist at 5:12
10:12 scientists already spread over the walls in a pasty soup but still screaming lol
Make a series with every chapter!
Halosince151101 I think that was the plan...
+++
Пожалуйста!!! Сделайте их :)
Yep, it is the plan, since they did Unforseen Consequences in two parts.
Makes no sense, there are probably only 2-3 chapters in all of Half-Life with enough story to make an SFM. You wouldn't want to just watch an animation of some guy shooting aliens.
@@GIJew or marines
Amazing! Love all the little touches like how the audio is drowned out when the two scientists are about to let him through the door, the fistbumps, shakey camera, etc... Feels so much more alive!
Security playin Super Metroid on the SNES. Dope.
Was that an Alien action figure in Freeman's locker? Love it.
It’s called a Xenomorph.
Finally a Half-Life themed Video that is calm and NORMAL in it's own special way. It shows how normal the BMRF actually can be. And quite boring if one thinks about it.
But You still managed to deliver it's monotone office-like atmosphere interesting enough for the viewer. Altough i have to admit (even tough i'm a patient viewer myself) that some scenes could be a tad bit shorter, but nonetheless it's still looked promising.
Apart from the somewhat "unfinished" or, we could say "unpolished" animations, i am looking forward for more videos like this to come!
It's a nice exchange for all the action packed and hollywood-like mini-sfm movies one sees here in UA-cam. Keep it up Mate!
Also: I loved the reactions You put into the characters. Gives them a more humane perspective, Ya know?
And last but not least: Some atmospheric / background noises would be nice, as one could only hear the voices in the video and that's it. Still, ya made an ace job!
P¡ℤ☡λ - ℙⅈᵴ$
It would have been great if all the scientists screamed the entire time like every other person's mod out there. I definitely never get tired of that. This is not refreshing because it keeps in tone with Half Life.
P¡ℤ☡λ - ℙⅈᵴ$
Wait, I think this counts as a mod.
3:19 Me and my group of friends walking to the lunch room from theoretical physics class.
As a fan of half-life since the early 2000's I always thought that the story of the game was deserving of a movie... Thank you for making it almost real!
This is perfect. But it bugs me a little that everyone calls him "Mr. Freeman" and not "Dr. Freeman".
"Dr." is reserved for medical doctors.
One of my family relatives once announced himself as a "doctor" when boarding an aircraft.
During the flight someone fell ill and so of course the aircrew came looking for my relative... Guess he looked a bit stupid when he had to say he was the wrong kind of doctor!
No its not, lmao.
Dr is reserved for medical doctors and people with a doctorate (PhD), Gordon has a PhD
Turns it even worse:
It may or may not be reserved for medical doctors--it depends on where you live...
"Oh, you wanker, don't be so sil--"
"See for yourself: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_(title)"
"..."
in the non remastered version they always call him doctor, these audio clips are from the remastered version
My friends and I had a running joke in school that the reason that Gordon never spoke was because he was hungover, and was trying to pretend he wasn't. I like this film because it holds up.
Me:*Clicks on Half-Life related video*

dccooltiger ok, it’s good, but not that good
I remember the first time I played - when the crisis started in the test chamber, I kept trying to make it to the exit and got warped away both times just as I reached the door. It was so immersive.
it took me until 9:21 to realise they were wearing scout's headphones
God damn Gordon wearing fancy suits like he's the Administrator :D
i dont think the suit was from black mesa they could not afford it i think its gordons suit before he would put on the lab coat on a normal day
+spongedog 001 that's what I thought - a few people have asked why he isn't in a lab coat, but you wouldn't wear your lab wear on the commute. It would be extremely unhygienic. Gordon has sharp dress sense in my version of the lore.
yep can wait for unforeseen consequences any idea when you going to upload it? or still to far off
+spongedog 001 still got quite a lot to do - I've slowed down to deal with some more pressing stuff, so I can't make too many promises
eli did say in half life 2 that gordon "belongs" in a lab coat but what you did say makes sense
6:00 I really like what you did there. Like he's lost in his own thoughts preparing himself for the experiment. Nice touch
That part when he enters the test chamber reminds me of 2001: Space Oddysey when they reach the monolith on the moon.
Great work!
I thought Gordon Freeman was just a third person black statue.
That profile picture... Code Lyoko !!!
Its a fan-made model on the Sfm workshop.
In the original Half-Life,he has a proper model because of the multiplayer element. But Half-Life 2 doesn't have the multiplayer element so they just had that black statue as a placeholder.
The statue is fully articulated, so it could have been used...
2:37 I feel more bad on this guy then the entire world dying from the Combines
THEY SHOULD DO FULL MOVIE LIKE THAT!!! Who is with me?
oczo22 i agree. Should make a great movie
They should! But what would it be called though?
@@williamlumsdon1604 Half-life: Gamemovie maybe?
Gordon Freeman, the speechless warrior
HBO just released Chernobyl mini-serial, enjoy it ;)
"Aw man, you cut the ponytail. Sellout."
What? What's wrong with keeping it casual?? ^_^
IT is a refference to the original model of freeman wich had a ponytail a beard and kinda looked like a space pirate
Although, I'd argue that a ponytail is the more casual way and cutting your hair short is conservative and business look.
How dare you. His name is *I* *V* *A* *N* *T* *H* *E* *S* *P* *A* *C* *E* *B* *I* *K* *E* *R*
@@LawabidingG wrong, that's Ivan the space biker u.u if you use thirdperson in HL 1, you can see Gordon has a ponytail.
This just makes him so much more cooler.
Damn, half life created something that's inseparable. I mean no matter what u make, a mod, a video, a teaser, anything related to half life, it just works. It's addictive and it's consuming.
Love every bit of this ❤️
Love black Mesa, Gordon and everything in between.
Half life = complete gaming life
Brilliant! Thank you for including the helmet, ive always enjoyed the helmet player model and wish it was included more in the art and gameplay itself but oh well.
You can't even use the helmet in any games other than the first.
3:25
Black Mesa employees on their way to open the world to the aliens.
"Greeting me little petri dish!"
"Quiet! I'm trying to concentrate."
ROTFL!
I think you did amazingly with the SFM.
The animations with Gordon and the other characters were smooth, although some had a noticeable amount of blur. Limes were synced well and the music for well. My only other complaint, aside from the blur, was some characters felt too stiff and some of the pathing was noticeably odd.
I love how the security guard at the beginning was playing Super Metroid. Truly a man of taste.
"Gordon, if you can go over to the delivery chute you can collect the sample....I hope you remembered to bring a pound coin with you, we got the trolley from Tesco's car park - Barney stole it when no-one was looking and we haven't had a chance to change the lock thing on it yet...."
This is great! I really like that you dimmed Gordon's eyes. Personally I think the music from 3:18 onward was better in the previous video, it gave a feeling of something big and epic going on. It also seems like the scientists are still screaming after they're dead, but those are just details. Looking forward to the next part :)
+Jana Zachovalová I agree on the music during the HEV strut section, I just wanted to avoid using copyrighted music so kind of composed a knock off. Next part coming soon!
Oh, I see, in that case it's pretty cool that you managed to compose it :)
Jana Zachovalová I like the ending you can see his eyes saying this is bad
yeah¡ gg
Jana Zachovalová Know the music name?
4:38 they’re waiting for you Gordon...in the test chamberrrr...
"[Barney's] bar tab must have finally caught up with him."
And I'm ded. A buddy of mine and I one time tried to see how many beers we could get from the guards before the test chamber incident removed that dialogue option. The rules were no more than 2 beers per guard and no using cheat codes (like noclip)to get to restricted places. I think we got up to like 14 beers before we ran out of guards.
Dargonhuman wait... What? Dialogue option?
@Cakenja There is one "beer related quote" after Unforeseen Consequences actually:
"You think there's a cold beer for us at the end of all this?"
@Cakenja That's why i said "beer related quote", i didn't say he was offering Gordon anything.
You should release that track at 3:18, its epic as f***, I would do my night drives happily with that track :)
9:40 Aw shit here we go again
"Greatings my lil petri dish!
Bullshit! Gordon Freeman is a flying camera!
And a black statue in the hl2
press don't stress There is 3rd person view in Half Life 1. You can change the camera from the console. Gordon Freeman has a visual model
true tho. But the third person in half life 1 is kinda shitty and very inconvinient to use.
Nonesense, Gordon is a floating crowbar. Duh!
This is amazing! Feels like how the day actually should've gone instead of the ridiculous events in stuff like Freeman's Mind, Make Your Time, and Gorgeous Freeman.
You have improved a lot! The camera work is much better, but your animation still needs work. The character's movements are too stiff and abrupt. Just keep practicing, and you'll get better. I look forward to seeing your next animation!
And P.S, I'm glad you took note of my comment on the Super Metroid audio in the opening scene, I'm surprised you cared to fix such a minor little detail. :)
+Kyle Morgan thanks! I didn't really do a great much to the animation itself, or I'd never get round to continuing the series - this was really for the sake of character models and audio fixes. Hopefully the animation will start to improve over the next few episodes!
cant wait to see new episodes
I was hoping someone else caught the mix of Lower Norfair music and....what I vaguely remember as sounds from the final boss (which doesn't make sense for a few reasons- because you'd be hard pressed to die with the hyper beam) I just wasn't sure how to bring it up o.o
That being said, this was really well done and I can't wait for future installments ^^
(er, that is if you plan on continuing this as a series o.o)
You should also try to avoid clipping. I mean, minor clipping is acceptable, but the way the female scientist clipped through the chair...ewww.
+Pepper Millers oh shit, I must have missed that.

5:54 Gordon looks different for a split second.
This is really good great job it feels like another day at work then it all gose down great job
Freeman looks lowkey fresh in that Tuxedo
If Gordon gets an HEV suit for himself, which was hinted at during the hazard course, that means he's not just some intern like person, they wouldn't fit and build an HEV suit for just some button presser, and say, once he eventually quit, retire, or out grew his suit, would he be allowed to keep it? Since it was built for his size alone?
Ooh man I’m late, sorry. But it’d probably be scrapped.
@@legmaster99 damn :(
@@finmueller7827 Yeah, knowing how Black Mesa usually budget cuts, they’d gut the suit and cram the parts into another shell.
The man is a research associate.... (late reply, completely normal.)
Freeman just walks into the coffee shop and stares at the barristas till they figure out what he wants and place the right coffee in front of him at which point he picks it up and walks off
The thing that made me cry at the start of the game was..
The death of the two scientists who let us inside the Test Chamber
They kept saying, "We believe in you!" And, "We have confidence in you!" And all, it just made their death's sad ;~;
Yep, the two at 6:25 moved me quite emotionally ;~;
Those two returned in Half-Life two so they didn't die!
