This is not animated in any kind of 3D-animation software.
When I first started I thought alright, this is going to be the Portal 2 ending IN Minecraft.
Legit!
So, the first thing I did was to of course install a shit load of mods. At the time we didn't have creative mode so I had to use mods that replicated things like that. I used the portal mod, different camera recording mods, eeh some creative tools you could use at the time to edit chunks easy, world editing tools etc.
I textured all the skins and blocks my self in Photoshop. Downloaded tons of inspirational photos from google and videos from UA-cam of different angles and things from the portal game to know how everything looked.
Too bad I have lost the private Minecraft Portal texture pack I used for this video. The models are made in Sketchup. The map I made in Minecraft by hand. It was made perfectly scaled of how it was in Portal 2. The map is also lost with time, sorry : (
Well anyhow I used my school laptop I had to play all the actors. And my stationary computer was used as the cameraman. I didn't have any friends that would know how to move perfectly as I imagine in my mind so I had to be creative haha.
I Pressed record on the stationary computer and the camera would move on it's ow path while I used the laptop with a second account on a fucking Bukkit server to make the player act live on camera. I studied film and graphic design in high school at the time and watched many documentaries about film directing, behind the scenes etc.
So, therefore I wanted to film everything the same way like a real movie company would do it. with special blocks textured green or blue. I even made red stone wired scenes timed perfectly so that the sealing would explode timed with the camera. I really wanted to make this as minecraft authentic as possible.
GLaDOS
I made Weathley and GLaDOS the same way in Sketchup. They are not animated or anything. They are legit moving in time synced with how they move in PORTAL 2 game ending.
I modeled each of their body parts in a green screen rooms and recorded them separately synced to how they moved in the ending. Each body part I would move with my mouse while Fraps was recording the desktop.
After that I would place all the parts together in Sony Vegas and manually stick and edit them together. That's why the parts move so smoothly.
Some special effects was added were I just pixelated and placed on top for finishing touches. A lot of layering and green screen elements. The rendering of the official video took 8 hours! I had to render it 6 times because ONE clip had the wrong color edit or something had to be re-shot.
So that's basically how I did it :P
