Office 'Complex'? Gordon is a highly trained professional, he actually finds it quite simple.
BYEE 💀💀💀 this comment got me DEAD
Simply terrifying
How many children are you a dad of
Office simple
you beat me to it, goddamn it
Love how Gordon was only willing to say his name. Its crazy how well the voice fits
look up The Freeman Chronicles, it's short live action HL1 stuff but really well made, that's what this was inspired by (and where the voice was from)
Not even "Stop, there's a turret!"
In episode 2, when an elevator with people is about to fall, Gordon screams "No!" as it does. I think he has a crush on that blonde girl judging from the sighting in episode 1.
hes the silent protagonist
@@freemanwithoutthephd639 Damn, that's one hell of a reference
i like how you made the HEV suit feel "clunky" like an actual space suit
I'd like to see a remix version where he moves at Gordon's in-game walk speed of 22 miles per hour 😂
It's less dramatic but of course a properly protecting suit would be covering his head and face
@@mybadvideoshe lost his helmet in xen
I appreciate that he HAS the capacity to talk, he just doesn't much. I think that's more profound than he's just mute.
exactly! well said
"man of few words aren't you?" -alyx
@@elijahpelito4722 right!? Few words, not no words.
I love how you made Gordon look beat up, tired, scared and soaked in dirt from head to toe. That was exactly how I imagined he would look after all the shit he went through! This series is an absolute dream come true as a long time Half Life fan 🙏🏻
Omg same im loving this series! I love the voice he was given too!!!
He looks simultaneously rugged and clumsy. That's quite a balance to strike.
Ms Vance... You wouldn't NNEEEEEDD all this to imprison... Gordon.... Freeman.
He even resembles his box art. The sweat makes him shiny.
Yeah but... he didnt even encounter a H.E.C.U soldier yet... if he is this dirty/tired now, i wonder how he would look like near the end.
I am very pleased with how you decided to have Gordon pause to hesitate and/or think before every action he took. This made things more tense. Every move he made seemed more methodical and deliberate as a result of this.
He is but a man after all
@@Animux.StudiosHe's only a human after all, we shouldn't put the blame on him.
@@thecipher8495ugh don’t remind me of that garbage mod
@@goldenfiberwheat238 hes referencing a song tho
@@the_irs_real a song that was used in the trailer for fallout the frontier
literally the only criticism i have of this is the voice acting for the guard but then the voice acting for freeman was flawless and made up for it. amazing work as usual
its from a live action series called The Freeman Chronicles
@@freemanwithoutthephd639 all of the voicing?
@CobaltTS for the guard it sounds like it was ai
@@InsertName159 it's 100% AI; Give away is the finality of each word, as if the word was the last word of a sentence, each ended with a period before the next word. The tone of voice is what gives it away
I thot all voices were from the Black Mesa game
Holy shit this was really good. People often forget that Gordon's not some action hero, he's a physicist in a hazard suit surviving through almost impossible odds. The subtle way he started walking quicker towards the doors after hopping over the first exposed wiring, the jump scare in the vents, hell even the very brief one-liner of his name are all super in-character. Excellent job!
he is but a man indeed, well said
Hes the wrong man, in the right place
The odds really aren't almost impossible even in lore given how broken the HEV suit is.
firing that 357 in a vent would blow your ear drums out, but im not complaining.
In Zen there were others in HEV suits that got wasted. The suit recognizes weapons and tracks ammunition. They knew about the creatures on the other side and some surely were battle trained.
Your headcrabs are terrifying, well done
They were terrifying to me over 20 years ago so i tried to keep it that way 😃
You don’t get nearly enough credit for all the work you put into these. Keep it up man.
I appreciate that! Thank you
I love how human he is. He was just some scientist a moment before, now he is in literally hell where his friends are getting killed one by one by creatures he has no idea existed before and horrors one cannot imagine
I absolutely love this model of Freeman. This episode was so elegantly detailed. A job well done brother. Waiting for the next one.
Thank you very much!
11:40 absolutely love the Freeman Chronicles reference and audio, Great work as always
There's a reference at 3:24 as well
There an opposing force reference as well i hope you noticed 😉
Fantastic direction and cinematography. Well done. Loved the scene with the Guard at the end.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Who needs a Half Life movie when we are blessed with this amazing series. Keep up the awesome work Animux. 👍🏼
Thank you it means a lot
IDO ! but this will do for now lol
I have always wanted a live action or animated Half-Life. This fills that wish and I hope one day it will get to Roll FIN? at the end. I would love to see the events as seen through Adrian's experiences as well.
So Freeman has a voice after all these years😅. Glad to hear him
To bad he couldn't use it to worn his colleague before he stepped into gunfire. Freeman's a jerk lol
can't say the same. Didn't like it when they did it to doomguy either... easy to edit out, though
@@valethemajor he spoke in the comics
@@clintonbyers930 that's where the problem started yes
@@valethemajor characters don't have to be mutes
Favourite bit was him deactivating the gun turret. I really got a sense of how nerve-wracking that’d be. The original sound effects, like the clanging of the crowbar, are blended in nicely as well. Great job.
Very nice! I like how bulky the suit looks and how that's reflected in Gordon's movement. It's realistic. The slender skin-tightness of how the HEV is usually portrayed really doesn't lend itself well to the reality of armor.
I get the notification and i get an unstopable impulse to click it
After watching this animation, in this style, i could totally imagine a fully fledged movie, where you hear Gordons thoughts in most of the settings, when he is not interacting with other allies.
Like in Sherlock Holmes Gordon calculates everything in milliseconds foreseeing all the consequences of every action based on deep knowledge in physics and then turns into a cold killing machine eliminating every threat. He is completely silent because he is doing it all the time in his mind and emotional relations enfeeble his intellectual potential.
Freeman's Mind pretty much fits that description. Not a movie, of course, just a machinima. But probably the next best thing...assuming you don't mind the narrative of Gordon's mind being more of a dark action/comedy rather than a tense thriller, as was portrayed here. I'd love to see an actual Half-Life feature film, but I'd also be nervous as hell that it would turn out to be shit! 😅
It's just unbelievable that this insane amount of work was done by just one man. It feels like this was done by a studio or something. Truly impressive! Looking forward to the next episode. Good luck man.
Wow, thank you!
This is really fantastic, Gordon feels so much more human. And also from the third person knowing what is coming but not being able to do anything makes the jump scares worse 😂
He is but a man after all
after months of development, it DEFINITELY was worth the wait
I only recently went through the HL games for the first time (finished Episode 2, 2 nights ago now). I found the longer I inhabited the HEV suit, the more and more amazed I became at the world I found myself in. As a lifelong diehard Halo fan, I can say that Half-Life is now easily tied for my favorite sci-fi universe.
I've never played a game quite like HL1 in such that it let me PERFECTLY put myself in Gordon's shoes - or, like I said earlier - inhabit the HEV suit. I was Gordon, and Gordon was me, there was no distinction. I'm really not sure how to round this one out, but for as little time as I've spent with this 26 year old franchise - I love Half-Life and you're an absolute legend for allowing us to re-experience Gordon's journey in such a cool way. I absolutely can't wait to see this finished. Keep up the amazing work my friend! 🔥🧡
This project shall be the Astartes of Half Life community
Thank you ❤
Cant believe I've been living under a fucking rock not knowing this exist, my friend i know how painful it is to animate in 3d and at this length while keeping the quality consistent and i salute for that, half-life have been my favorite game of all time and it makes me happy seeing stuff like this, i wish i could throw some money your way because you definitely deserve it but it's practically impossible to send money internationally where i live, again thanks for making this and kudos for the good work you've done
Your kind words are enough thank you so much
Gordon wouldn't waste his bullets on glass and/or the monsters that are already dead.
Maybe later... But not at first. You think he's experienced for that sort of thing at the beginning of his life? It was pretty intense situation back there. Being alone for so much time and trying to figure out all by yourself... makes you a bit of edge, don't you think?
3:25 Freeman Chronicles reference
I have no words to describe how much I love this
I can see the Creator was having fun playing lethal company while making this animation, I could hear two or three sound effects right from it
Please keep these up they are beyond fantastic
Thank you so much
Another incredibly well made chapter.
I'm really enjoying the facial expressiveness of Gordon, especially the headcrab at 3:08. Just adds another dimension
This feels well made on so many levels, I love that Gordon is careful and takes time before each decision he makes. Well done, keep em coming.
I feel when gordon gets to the we got hoatiles chapter and meets the US Marines. Their probably be evident conflict among the marines who believe they have to follow their orders to kill everyone accept Gordon, and the ones who believe this is wrong.
I can see this becoming a full fledged series! 😂 Please don't cancel this!
Will do my best
The way you had his eyes posed in the opening was stellar. Really conveying that “wtf just happened” energy
Dang this is HIGH effort. Love it! Great work.
hi greenskull
The headcrab jumpscare was on point tho. My favourite episode so far, keep going
Bravo on the voice for Gordon. I was skeptical , I knew he would have to talk and you nailed it.
Thank you
Gordon's voice was accutaly taken from the half-life fanmade live action series: the freeman chronicles
Your cinematography on this is astounding, great use of your angles and framing. Love how you've managed to make use of the lighting to convey such suspense and uneasiness. Gordons behavior in this is spot on with someone whose capable but scared, confused and just trying to get from point A to B
This is so amazing, seeing Gordon from an outside perspective, rather than “being him” really makes you feel how alone he is and how difficult it was to survive
please, never stop until the end of HL1 at the very least. it's clear you have a passion with every episode of this retelling and it shows in how you portray gordon as a mostly silent protagonist.
only one line from this scared, scarred scientist trying to survive. and it's to a random co-worker we can bet he's never met until this moment forced them to cross paths in this hellish moment of Half Life history no thanks to how huge Black Mesa is. it's not even cheesy, it's simply stating the facts, as if using the question the guard asks him about his name, to reassure himself he's still Gordon Freeman.
we all know how the story ends. but Gordon isn't *the one Free Man* yet. and it shows in the voicework.
Thank you for the feedback ❤
I really love this model of Gordon. Also the voice fits him really well
Came across your work today and watched all three episodes and I must say you totally captured the atmosphere of what it was to play Half-life for the first time. The immersion and the tension of not knowing that would be around the next corner.
Fabulous work! Looking forward to part 4! ❤👏
i like how this video reminds that gordon is a human being just like everyone else. He struggles, fumbles, gets panic, and all he ever wanted is to survive.
YESSSS!!! I've been waiting for this since you talked about it. Seriously been enjoying you putting this story together just on your own and not just the big moments from the game too. It's downright impressive!
thank you s much
You know there's probably a lot of amateur voice actors who'd love to supply lines for this for free/cheap, for any future scenes with dialogue. No offense obviously just an immersion critique :p Looking forward to the next entry!
Yes i happily announced open position for VA when needed for future project for those interested you dm me on discord
I especially appreciated the facial expression on Gordon. A combination of fear, alertness, and focus. Combine with the sweat and blood it really made you feel like this was a man that had survived a true disaster and was only getting warmed up.
Thank you for your time and for the wonderful entertainment. Great job. Truly a great job. Tech and everything apart, this a masterclass in storytelling. Lovely.
THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!! God I can't wait to see the rest of it! Amazing job man, seriously!!
Thank you so much
For a one-(free)-man project, this is incredible! I am impressed, and simply inspired!
Thank you
Like how Gordon beard changing a little, giving what he look like in Half Life 2
Such a nice touch in it.
People like you are the reason I love this community so much
Best way to start a new year. A near full 13 minutes of excellent half life content.
Glad you enjoy it!
Seriously underrated work dude! Movement is still a bit stiff, but It's actually pretty good for a one-man project (and in the case of Gordon, it can be explained by the HEV Suit making movement a bit harder). One gripe I have is the voice acting, I understand you're alone on this, but maybe try and find some more people for the next episodes? I'm sure at least someone would be kind enough to volunteer.
All in all, great work on the episode, can't wait to see how you interpret the rest -λ-
He's a good animator, but he completely misunderstands the half-life universe. I would show it in a diametrically opposite way, in principle, I will do so. By the way, the costume should not restrict movement at all, if this were really the case, then Gordon would have been killed long ago. However, it's still interesting to look at it)
@@SoulFreeman3650
*"...he completely misunderstands the Half-Life universe..."*
In some instances, I agree, but the series, mainly Half-Life 1, doesn't really have much to go off-of, leaving most things up to how the player (or in this case, the animator) interprets them. Of course, if you have a different interpretation, I ain't taking it away, I'm just saying it doesn't necessarily need to match up with the others.
*"...the costume shouldn't restrict movement..."*
Now, this is really nitpicky, but in the Hazard Course, Gina tells you, and I quote "Moving around in your H.E.V suit may be slightly disorenting at first". Let's think about it. The suit is mostly metal, which I assume is lined with rubber or plastic on the inside, I don't think it would be the easiest to move around in. Now, sure this is jumping to conclusions, but, again, HL1 leaves a lot to be desired in terms of what we know.
@@stellarbastard98 At the same time, she says exactly that at the beginning your movements will be constrained, besides, I found a muscle booster in the game files , and so on. The fact that moving around in a suit for the first time will not be awkward does not mean that it will be permanent. You just have to get used to it.
@@stellarbastard98 Yes, I also confirm that the author understands the universe only partially, but I would just change a lot, down to the atmosphere, queries, and even the anatomy of mutants. My first change would be zombies, because in half life they are practically harmless, and I would make them a real threat, no less dangerous than headcrabs.
@@stellarbastard98 In fact, I wouldn't rely solely on the game. The Black Mesa disaster is a terrible event, very, very frightening. Contrary to the canon, I would try to add additional creatures, even the same Gonome. To limit ourselves to a modest selection of half-life mutants means, in fact, to show the same thing in every episode. It can get boring, and I'm worried that it might happen. We need an improvisation that will not strongly contradict half-life and will fit perfectly into the plot.
Amazing way to start the new year! I love the attention to detail and camera work. How Gordon methodically makes his way through obstacles. Keep it up!
Thank you very much!
This is excellent man, and you can see the improvement over the three videos. Cinematography, atmosphere, animation, sound...really looking forward to seeing this progress.
Great job as always man 👏👏
Thank you
I bet my life over ur success. I am hoping you blow up and get millions of views... Your videos are soo high quality and greatly animated tht its hard to think its not by a *ONE MAN PROJECT*... gl bro-
this means a lot thank you
Absolutely phenomenal work. I love the use of handheld cam and the fluidity of the action.
Thank you very much!
Your movies are amasing. Can't believe this is done all by yourself. Nice work !
Чувак, ты потрясающий! Не останавливайся, пожалуйста! Делай это еще!
большое спасибо
This must have taken months to produce, hopefully valve can hire you to create half life TV series, thank you for your amazing work
That would be amazing thank you
always so good to watch these
I love two things especially about it
a) how Gordon runs away before he's able to learn that the military is coming
b) how terrifying you made the vents to be
Really solid job. The things I'm not sold on are the character models and voice acting for security guards, but I think it's still cool!
Simply exceptional work, the animations, sounds, interactions and Cinematography... They are beautiful.
And surprisingly, Freeman's voice suits him very well.
Worth the wait
You couldn't even have watched the whole video yet...
@@DualScreenGamers??
@@DualScreenGamers i watched it now and my suspicions were confirmed.
Very amazing work guys I’ve waiting all year for this! Never stop! Gordon finally speaks!
I love how the black mesa incident has really become this all encompassing event where anything and everything could/did happen it makes all the multiple cinematic sfm movies about the black mesa incident seem all plausible. Also i love how you made the movement of everything feel and look so heavy and weighted like things have momentum, really good job 👍
thank you for the feedback
Damn the new walking animations is waayyy better than before! Perfect job right here..
This is the fruition, and beginning of the Half Life film, I always imagined. Thank you, and please continue your superb work.
I watched all three episodes sofar and they're awesome. Really great work here man. Hope there is more of this series. Absolutely love Half-Life, brings back so many memories.
This is rad.
I can’t believe you got me with Headcrab Jumpscare. I almost yelled out loud at work while on break😅
Very kickass animation! Great action and intensity with solid lighting, camera work and posing.
A excellent video once again, everything is on point, especially the ambiance, you feel the dread Freeman is going through. Well done ! Can't wait for the next ones :D
Run. Think. Shoot. Live. It’s as though each scene encompasses the core gameplay of the original Half-Life. The quality has been increasing and I’m excited to see more.
It just keeps getting better and better, this is beautiful. What an amazing start to the new year!
Thank you so much!
Damn fine work on this series. Cant wait to see how you do the HECU encounters
Hey man! just today I discovered your content, I'm in love with it! the quality of your work in all the episodes are beyond words, the way you present Freeman is amazing and my favorite by far, I hope that you be doing great and that you be enjoying this a we all do!
lots of luv
literally so blown away cause you literally nailed the execution. the lighting, the shots, the way gordons face moves like a REAL fucking persons would. This might be the coolest thing I have ever see come from the HL community.
This is absolutely fantastic and unbelievably impressive. It’s like a breaking bad episode but half-life. Keep doing what y’all do, for real!
Always loved the level Office Complex. Really showed how disastrous the Resonance Cascade was and how quickly it overran the complex.
This section in the game allways stresses me out and you captured its essence so well! Amazing work!
thanks a lot
There's a lot to love here. I think you do a fantastic job of conveying weight and momentum.
thank you
What a great way to start a new year. Thank you
You're amazing! Fantastic work, and so enjoyable to watch. Half-life is my favorite game of all time and being able to watch it like this is astonishing :)
I'm always delighted to see you're still working on stuff.
You have a very unique way of portraying the series as very grounded and human, letting Gordon be an actual person going through this shit.
thank you so much
This is downright incredible. Makes me wish for the whole game to get adapted like this. The camera work and subtle acting from Gordon is just amazing. It all works so damn well and I'm super glad this was recommended to me!
Thank you
Incredible work! You deserve huge credit for all the love, effort and expertise you've poured into this series. It's truly wonderful to see Half-Life brought to the screen with such authenticity. Thank you ❤
Glad you enjoy it! very much appreciated thank you
What a way to start the year, you are doing god's work.
Wow this was great! Love the pace and dark atmosphere...has all the elements of the game too!
I was literally rewatching these episodes TODAY!
I love these, I look forward to each episode!
Great job! Some really really nice shots in this... especially in the vents: the cutaway to the gunshot flashes, and the blair-witch feeling of the first person vent crawling
Also feels like the animation went up a notch too.
Thank you so much
Man the atmosphere and the camera work are amazing! GG!
Excellent job! I love knowing what puzzles and passages are coming up next
the lighting here is super good holy shit
amazing job dude!
I'm always so excited for your updates you have no idea! You are doing such amazing work 😍
Thank you so much!!
Woah! I love the movement animation. Especially jumping. It feels so natural! Great work!
thank you so much
You are most welcome! Keep going with your amazing work~
This is insanely good! Never knew this existed until today. I love the atmosphere, Gordons characterization and the attention to detail, like him always carrying both weapons like the revolver and crowbar at the same time since there's no space on the suit to store them. That always bugged me a bit when playing the games. 🤓 Amazing work!
Amazing, great work. The only giveaway that it isn't 'real' is the eyes. It's always the eyes. But everything else seems so solid and tangible. It's incredible really. I've watched computing and graphics go from simple line drawings to such splendor as this over the decades and it makes me proud to have been able to see it happen. Same with audio recording. I had always wished for a 'recording studio in a box' for years before the DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) came along making my life so much easier. This video is fantastic in so many ways to me. Thank you.
Always a pleasure
