Yeah I rember that moment were gordan and his friends go to a abounded mine ship and and find out that the crew have been infected by parasites and gorden get split up with his friends and get chased to an elevator but then a parasite opens the elevator door and then gets choped in half by said door, i totaly rember that bit, it was right after anomalies materials
Im only 3 minutes in, but my God, I love how you made Gordon look distressed, hurt, tired as fuck, and scared out of his life. The way his hair is a greasy wet mess, the way his eyes are wide in fear and shock, and the way his tight lipped grimace has him emote is fantastic understanding of the character and the circumstances he went through. Bravo!
@@jkaritthat actually makes sense. I imagine the two being close. But now we would never learn or know that since she is unfortunately killed with Gordon being helpless to save her and the other two scientists. We can only imagine due to their being the hint that female scientist and Gordon Freeman may have been friends and were on the way to be more maybe Gordon has a flashback of seeing Alyx Vance reminding him of that female scientist.
15:48 Oh man, the recreation of that classic promo of Gordon getting choked out gave me CHILLS. There's no doubt this was made by a true fan of Half-Life down to the little details.
Gordon has the composure every man wishes for, no matter how many deaths he sees, even killing a vort for the first time, he remains un-phased. A true silent hero. Also, this is beyond amazing. Great work!
I know right I almost don't believe it, there's been a couple attempts at making Half-Life into a cinematic experience but none have I seen as impressive as this, I find myself utterly intrigued and fascinated :)
This is EXACTLY how I’ve always wanted Half-Life to be adapted into a film. We never leave Gordon’s perspective, a visual survival story, uncomplicated story telling, and faithful to the vibes of the original material. I’ll definitely keep watching. GREAT work!
4:33 He really just grabbed one the most unintentionally funny moments in the original game and made it the most depressing shit ever. I'm never seeing that scene in-game the same again.
@@nicolae-alexandruluca7853 It's just tragic. The thing about all the Half Life/Black Mesa games from Half Life 1 to HL2 Ep2, is that even though you're the hero in the game, the game will force you to watch people die while you're helpless to do anything. It adds a layer of tragic and disturbing realism, because in reality in any disaster, you won't be able to save everyone.....
Holy shit, the amount of effort you put into conveying Gordon's emotions purely through his actions alone is crazy. When he shouted at 4:33, I genuinely felt chills down my spine. I'm glad you didn't make him a mute, just someone who doesn't talk much. AMAZING work!
@@Animux.Studios I think that's why Gordon couldn't talk all the way. Not only was he still speechless but he's also mentally scarred. (not scared. SCARred. Like a scar on the head except it's not physically but mentally) Especially afterwords. Like in Half-Life 2 for example.
Not only that, but that woman on that elevator was also (or could be) the same woman that Gordon saw during the tram ride in the first episode (hinting a love interest?). This makes this scene even worse to look at. :(
@@johns250 With the Glock's automatic fire. In semi auto it's 5 (for some reason). The MP5 also weirdly takes 5 shots. Plus the Hive Hand does the same damage in semi auto as the Glock, and also takes 5 shots to kill a barnacle.
There are moments when Gordon looks to other people or just what's happening around him that gives the sensation the poor guy is about to collapse. Great work, nicely animated.
I'm loving this. Gordon is just the right amount of cautious yet badass. Him being a silent protagonist is probably a pain to work with when showing the events rather than playing through them, props to you. Can't wait to see episode 3!
It would be cool to see him having a breakdown, or similar. He is mute, but through his body language we can tell that this journey, even though he is a badass, is taking it's toll on him
@@jiraffe9600 He isn't. He's just speechless but remains silent almost the whole time. At least in Black Mesa but in Half-Life 2 (when the Combine took over Earth), Not only was he still speechless but he was also Scarred from it.
Simply for a one man project, this is rather outstanding work you've delivered! I really love the references you've used with "The Freeman Chronicles" around 7:44 (Freeman whacking down a zombie) and 11:14 (G-man appearance, both are from Episode 1 of the live action movie) This was worth the wait for sure and I really can't wait for the retell of "Office Complex" on the next one!
I just love the fact that you incorporated the gameplay portions in a way that fleshes out Gordon as a survivor (that man had to see so much death and deal with some crazy shit). So damn well done on the storytelling, so far! More people need to see this!
This was awesome. Simply that. I also liked how you humanised Gordon very much. He keeps his cool despite wanting to scream about the entire situation. He cares about his colleagues, seeing them dead or dying doesn't let him cold.
I really love that this series does a great job at giving Freeman a personality, and showing him adapting psychologically to the situation. It's something that is absent from both hl1 and hl2, and makes this series of videos very unique. Great job dude! By the way, thanks for not making Freeman completely mute. By making him say very small things from time to time, like in 4:30, you really highlight how overwhelming some situations can be to him.
I’ve always assumed the reason why Gordon doesn’t talk in-game is because he’s completely terrified shitless and is more focused on not getting ganked. Which makes sense since Gordon’s just a scientist in a HEV suit with an incredible amount of luck, considering he doesn’t have the military training that Adrian Shepard had. G-Man himself pointed this out in the “The Wrong Man in the Right Place” speech.
First reaction, Dude you took that cover art image of Gordan getting strangled and made it move! I was pretty wowed there at 15:44 nice work and detail. Also surprisingly you put in every major moment I can remember from that chapter. Also you did a great job of keeping Gordan quiet but also getting a better idea of whats on his mind. The callback to the first chapter when he saw that lady he liked fall to her death as well as the Noo part was icing on the cake. You did a great job and creatively making each scene a more impactful and interesting. Like how Gordan slowly becomes more accustomed to fighting, even letting the security guard do most the work during the first encounter just like any normal scientist would. The click as he runs out of bullets, the way he's moving in the shadows getting thrown around and freaking out over each new alien encounter. Anyway great job, you even fixed his walking problem which was a hilarious thing for the first part but would have been totally off putting for this stealthy horror episode. If there is only one big complaint on my mind is that some of the game voice acting is pretty flat and unfortunately there isn't much you can do about that. You still do a great job at using what you have though.
Between this and Emesis Blue, the SFM community is really cranking it out this month! I saw the attempt made by Pinwheel Arts at this concept, but your version is so much more fluid and cinematic!

I’m 40 now and the amount of nostalgia and amazement I get from this is phenomenal. I’d love to see the full animated series of the games 😊 really well done
Yeah, mine too... I've been in the midst of an insufferable while, awash of technical problems with my computer, and all of it derived from some defective Anti-Cheat system of a game, claiming mistrust toward some God-forsaken .dll from System32. After the BSOD, all went south. Then Animux's animation came in, with perfect timing. God bless him.
WOAAAH MAN AMAZING WORK WHAT THE HECK HOW FAST DID YOU COMPLETE THAT ANIMATION ALL ON YOUR OWN AND THAT GOOD. Seriously man this is amazing you perfectly describe the entire situation here with the enviroment, Gordon facial expression my man looks like he went through two world wars after like 3 minutes in and the voice lines THIS IS AMAZING IN SO MANY WAYS I CANT DESCRIBE IT IM JUST WAITING FOR COMBAT FROM MY TWO HALF LIFE BOYS FREEMAN AND SHEPARD HECK YEAH MAN KEEP GOING!!!!!!!!
Wow the expression and sound along with the movement is just so fluid. It gave me chills, especially the elevator scene at 4:33... That's just how someone would react. I always imagine Gorden as someone who isn't a mute, just someone who isn't somebody who talks much.

Я не любитель писать комментарии,но как фанат halfes скажу -Да это же крутейший проект!Графа на своей высоте превосходна.Удивительно,но экранизация компьютерной графики первой части,когда в самой игре всё было такое грубое и топорное,просто потрясающая.И скажу больше,у вас получилось гораздо круче передать атмосферу самой сцены,чем на канале HALF PEEPS c его экранизацией half-life Alyxe .Там есть некоторые сцены вообще как комиксы .Я конечно и их обидеть не хочу,понимаю на сколько тяжёлая эта работа и она в любом случае командная,но судя по двум частям ваших выпусков видно,что работы было произведено гораздо больше и качественнее.Так держать!А на последок у меня к вам пожелания - включите автосубтитры на разных языках в настройках,что бы привлечь как можно больше зрителей.Ведь это же не плохо,когда больше народу прибавится из разных стран.И ещё на последок пожелаю процветания на канале,творческих успехов ,свежих идей и конечно больше подписчиков .Всех благ вам🖐️
@@4blK-4blPblK Моя искренняя благодарность за то, что нашли время написать, это очень приятно, я надеюсь, что следующий эпизод превзойдет ваши ожидания.
I like how you went a realistic route by making it so Freeman has to carry a crowbar in one hand and a gun in the other since it's still unknown how he can store and carry so much weapons and ammo considering the HEV suit doesn't have any visible pouches or holsters.
@@Animux.Studios I guess my head canon always was. The crowbar stayed magnetized on the back with him swapping for one gun and ammo at a time off of corpses. The rocket launchers used and left where they were found and mostly the gluon or tau cannon on Zen.
I think it would work best if the weapons he had kept changing between chapters and situations, with the constant being the crowbar and glock attached to the back and thigh. These suits were designed to be able to brave Xen, so they must have some means of weapon and ammo storage.
You see that glowing circle on his back? It's probably a magnet, he can attach metal weapons there. And Glock and revolver he can attack to his hip, probably. It is still unknown how he stores so much ammunition and those alien weapons he gets later, tho.
My god! I can't even imagine how much work you've put into this! And to think this is a single person project! The camera angles. the movement, the sounds, the expression... It's all so amazing! This is the work of a true professional, absolutely insane! Honestly, this should have at least a couple million views just by the quality, work, dedication and love alone.
10:48 the way Gordon didn’t immediately vomit is astonishing. Also earlier when he shot the eye scanner instead of using his perfectly good crowbar is hilarious but not unexpected. What is unexpected is that it actually worked. The whole series has always been about using your head first. Anyway excited for more of this.
I can only imagine the amount of time and effort that went into making this. You really captured the horror and chaos of this part of the game better than anyone I've ever seen. I loved it! Keep up the stellar work! I can't wait to see your next installment.🏆
oh mann, for me this feels like a freaking movie. the animations are top tier here, so awesome to see that this project was continued hope this will continue, we're here to support this wonderful project
This is some of the deepest, richest & most passionately conceived Machinima I've seen since "The Seal of Neharha". I've been searching for just this kind of Machinima for quite some time. In a case of serendipity, I stumbled upon it by a mere TH-cam algorithm miracle recommendation. Masterful editing, grand storytelling & overall glorious execution! Truly outstanding work.

@@Animux.Studios No matter how low or high the level of traffic is, it'll never define you. Your amazing artistic quality and tenacity do. You're making wonders.
I know it's already been said, but the amount of emotion that, not just Gordon, but every character shows is incredible. I can't believe you're doing this as a one-man team, it's so high quality. The sound design, the framing of the shots, everything is perfect. I absolutely loved the absolute intensity of the destruction. It felt so intense and real and claustrophobic, and the way Gordon reacts is so vivid and realistic.

SALUTE TO YOU
Wow, im thoroughly impressed. Word for wor, moment for moment perfection. This looks like an astronomical amount of work. I sincerely hope youre able to do more. I love these HL sfm series, theyre so much better than anything from those jokers in Hollywood
You working with giving Freeman emotions to make up for his silence is impressive. You've got lightning in a bottle here. I only see it improving moving forward. This is awesome.
Your cinematographic skills are amazing. I love Freeman's feeling of fear and heartaching when it comes to kill zombies and when he sees his dead co-workers.
Phenomenal. Interesting concept of Dr. Freeman being a mute - it fits perfectly with the convention of the game. An outstanding physicist, but at the same time a person with some degree of handicap - which, of course, one does not exclude the other.
23:04 a missed opportunity to poke the bullsquid to see if it's really dead But yeah, a fantastic job, and not to mention that this is a one man work. Simply fantastic, from the camera work, scenography, and ending with the animation quality it's one of the best Half Life SFM series we've got (the series that are still in active production and all that) Keep at it Animux, you are doing God's work for the Half Life community and we are looking forward for what you will bring to us
The production on this is absolutely insane. I want you to know how much I appreciate this. I'm glued yo my seat. The animation, the emotion, the music, the camera. It's all done so well. This is phenomenal, and I'm fine with waiting however long it needs to take! You are making something amazing! I can't wait for the next episode. You are an amazing person, thank you so much for this!
This is amazing! Keep up the good work. I'm sure someone else has pointed this out, but there are some missing bits. From 21:36-21:40, it just shows black. From 21:55-23:43, there is no sound.
Came to the comments to mention this. I cant explain the black, but the lack of sound might be a content claim. Maybe they used the HL soundtrack music and YT has muted that section.
@@mr_sauce_cooks Guess that means the works of the worst of us on TH-cam, then. People who abuse the TH-cam copyright claim systems just to try to bully us into submission and TH-cam ultimately blames the victim.
@@damienfinnegan8272 I doubt black mesa would do something like that it would be pretty scummy besides, they seem pretty supportive of this stuff, but then again the world is full of surprises
This animation is beautiful, I've always wanted a Half-Life live action series and this is the closest I'll get, thank you so much for taking the time to animate this :D
This was great! Also love that at 4:34 it shows that Gordon can talk and that's he's not mute. It's my personal headcanon that Gordon went through a trauma prior to Black Mesa, hence why he doesn't talk all that much. Maybe it even has something to do with the picture of the baby in his locker? Then again I'm just theorizing here. Can't wait for the next episode.
It's wild watching the events of Black Mesa this way cause, as playing as Gordon you don't really grasp the possibility that this man has gone through one of the most traumatic events in his life or all of mankind for that matter. You just run and gun and take out literally anything you stumble across but this literally shows moments were Gordon realistically reacts, detatches from reality for a moment, and genuinely seems horrified.
I WAS LITERALLY JUST TALKING about "What if Half-Life Movie" and i chanced upon these two vids. I must say i cant WAIT for Ep 3!!!!! This was amazing! Also although that elevator scene was BONE chilling, i gotta give it to the Barnacle scene! I was wondering how you were gonna adapt that to film and that was PERFECT!!! Ive gotta share this with everyone.
Really good, showed how I felt as a player experiencing those scenes for the first time. Weird though, sound seems to cut out around 22 mins on. Back at 23:43
So much effort has been put into the modeling, movements and animations of the characters, I can't tell. It wasn't like watching the animation, I focused like watching real actors. It was a movie that I enjoyed watching. I can't wait to see the new episode. Thanks for your effort ♥
I've been waiting for this! This video rocks! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 It deserves so much more views! 😍😍😍 looking forward to watching the upcoming chapters! I love all the details that were put in and the changes for a more cinematic experience ❤️❤️ I'm so sad it ended 😥
The facial expressiveness 3:00-3:10 made me stop the video to comment how impressive this is. That’s as far as I’ve watched. Liked. Subscribed. Dope as hell
The fact that unlike other animations, where he just slows down so much from fear. He just rushes out of all that carnage rather, makes him the true Gordon Freeman that we never got to see. This has to be my fav half life 1 unforeseen consequences animation yet
Love this entire video, your camera work is extremely impressive!! At times, it felt like we were in the eyes of the G-Man; stalking Gordon throughout his adventure, out of sight. I can’t wait for this to get more traction, you deserve it!
I really love the recent development in the community of portraying Gordon as a person with complex emotions and trauma. It really adds so much to one of the most badass characters in history
WOW! Extremely good job!! Stumbled upon this by accident and just couldn't stop watching, amazing work compensating Gordon's muteness by making his emotions very expressive
I can't even imagine a cinematic with the big momma scenes where it hunts and chases you which was epic af even in the game. Hope you get there. Xen is a masterpiece in black mesa
It's amazing how accurately you recreated every little event that happened in Half-Life and made it captivating to watch. Also this looks like actual goodd movie. Great camera angles and everything.
WOW!!! Awesome job! This series will be golden! I was getting some Max Payne 3 vibes. Like a moody pessimistic narration will start any second now :). Keep it up!
This is truly amazing, it's unbelievable this is a one-man operation! Also very nice nod to one of Half-Life 2's promo art (I think) at 15:49 with Gordon clenching his crowbar while trying to release the barnacle's grip on his neck! Same facial expression and position! Very cool indeed!
All sound disappears at 21:57 and doesn't come back until 23:41. Have tried refreshing and switching from firefox to chrome. Doesn't do anything, just near 2 minutes of utter silence. Other than that, this is great video and I look forward to the next one!

Thank you so much this means a lot
I’m 40 now and the amount of nostalgia and amazement I get from this is phenomenal. I’d love to see the full animated series of the games 😊 really well done
You made my awful and depressed night. God bless you!
Yeah, mine too...
I've been in the midst of an insufferable while, awash of technical problems with my computer, and all of it derived from some defective Anti-Cheat system of a game, claiming mistrust toward some God-forsaken .dll from System32. After the BSOD, all went south.
Then Animux's animation came in, with perfect timing. God bless him.
i hope you're doing well, It’s nice to hear that!
Жиза вид лютой мясорубки успокаивает
WOAAAH MAN AMAZING WORK WHAT THE HECK HOW FAST DID YOU COMPLETE THAT ANIMATION ALL ON YOUR OWN AND THAT GOOD. Seriously man this is amazing you perfectly describe the entire situation here with the enviroment, Gordon facial expression my man looks like he went through two world wars after like 3 minutes in and the voice lines THIS IS AMAZING IN SO MANY WAYS I CANT DESCRIBE IT IM JUST WAITING FOR COMBAT FROM MY TWO HALF LIFE BOYS FREEMAN AND SHEPARD HECK YEAH MAN KEEP GOING!!!!!!!!
it really means a lot thank you so much.
Wow the expression and sound along with the movement is just so fluid. It gave me chills, especially the elevator scene at 4:33... That's just how someone would react.
I always imagine Gorden as someone who isn't a mute, just someone who isn't somebody who talks much.
Indeed he is not mute just like what you said

Wow, copyright claiming a video that some one took time to make over whatever sounds were is that part of the video is just sad, I might not be an expert on that crap but that is just wrong!
Я не любитель писать комментарии,но как фанат halfes скажу -Да это же крутейший проект!Графа на своей высоте превосходна.Удивительно,но экранизация компьютерной графики первой части,когда в самой игре всё было такое грубое и топорное,просто потрясающая.И скажу больше,у вас получилось гораздо круче передать атмосферу самой сцены,чем на канале HALF PEEPS c его экранизацией half-life Alyxe .Там есть некоторые сцены вообще как комиксы .Я конечно и их обидеть не хочу,понимаю на сколько тяжёлая эта работа и она в любом случае командная,но судя по двум частям ваших выпусков видно,что работы было произведено гораздо больше и качественнее.Так держать!А на последок у меня к вам пожелания - включите автосубтитры на разных языках в настройках,что бы привлечь как можно больше зрителей.Ведь это же не плохо,когда больше народу прибавится из разных стран.И ещё на последок пожелаю процветания на канале,творческих успехов ,свежих идей и конечно больше подписчиков .Всех благ вам🖐️
@@4blK-4blPblK Моя искренняя благодарность за то, что нашли время написать, это очень приятно, я надеюсь, что следующий эпизод превзойдет ваши ожидания.
@@Animux.Studios Be kind. This is action. I look forward to another goodness 💪
Dude do you make maps and textures by yourself? The quality of your work is insanely Good
2:20 "My god...what have we done."
LETTING THE DAYS GO BY-
I like how you went a realistic route by making it so Freeman has to carry a crowbar in one hand and a gun in the other since it's still unknown how he can store and carry so much weapons and ammo considering the HEV suit doesn't have any visible pouches or holsters.
It can be done even realistically
I assume some of the weapons has straps, like the shotgun.
@@Animux.Studios I guess my head canon always was.
The crowbar stayed magnetized on the back with him swapping for one gun and ammo at a time off of corpses.
The rocket launchers used and left where they were found and mostly the gluon or tau cannon on Zen.
I think it would work best if the weapons he had kept changing between chapters and situations, with the constant being the crowbar and glock attached to the back and thigh. These suits were designed to be able to brave Xen, so they must have some means of weapon and ammo storage.
You see that glowing circle on his back? It's probably a magnet, he can attach metal weapons there. And Glock and revolver he can attack to his hip, probably. It is still unknown how he stores so much ammunition and those alien weapons he gets later, tho.
Animux this is an absolute masterpiece! The feels I got watching this..This should be a feature length film!
means a lot ❤
You are most welcome
My god! I can't even imagine how much work you've put into this! And to think this is a single person project!
The camera angles. the movement, the sounds, the expression... It's all so amazing!
This is the work of a true professional, absolutely insane!
Honestly, this should have at least a couple million views just by the quality, work, dedication and love alone.
Thank you so much muchpyrookil so glad you liked it
10:48 the way Gordon didn’t immediately vomit is astonishing. Also earlier when he shot the eye scanner instead of using his perfectly good crowbar is hilarious but not unexpected. What is unexpected is that it actually worked. The whole series has always been about using your head first. Anyway excited for more of this.
Wow this is amazing! The atmosphere tense and the way how you make Gordon look distressed is very well done. Keep it up!
11:17 nice callback to The Freeman Chronicles
I can only imagine the amount of time and effort that went into making this. You really captured the horror and chaos of this part of the game better than anyone I've ever seen. I loved it! Keep up the stellar work! I can't wait to see your next installment.🏆
thank you oculartremors
oh mann, for me this feels like a freaking movie.
the animations are top tier here, so awesome to see that this project was continued
hope this will continue, we're here to support this wonderful project
thank you so much for you support the project is still going for sure
This is some of the deepest, richest & most passionately conceived Machinima I've seen since "The Seal of Neharha". I've been searching for just this kind of Machinima for quite some time. In a case of serendipity, I stumbled upon it by a mere TH-cam algorithm miracle recommendation.
Masterful editing, grand storytelling & overall glorious execution! Truly outstanding work. And I don't use my words lightly.

You're one hell of an underrated artist. Thank you for your hard work.
means a lot thank you
@@Animux.Studios No matter how low or high the level of traffic is, it'll never define you. Your amazing artistic quality and tenacity do. You're making wonders.
Calmest day in Gordon Frreeman life:
I know it's already been said, but the amount of emotion that, not just Gordon, but every character shows is incredible. I can't believe you're doing this as a one-man team, it's so high quality. The sound design, the framing of the shots, everything is perfect. I absolutely loved the absolute intensity of the destruction. It felt so intense and real and claustrophobic, and the way Gordon reacts is so vivid and realistic.
Thank you so much this means a lot ❤
1 - This Video is Completely Piece of Art it's unbelievable how much the hard work and the time spent to make this Legendary Edit.
2 - Legends like Animux will never be forgotten.
3 - This Legend and His Edits Joined the Gaming History and Especialy Half-Life History Form The Golden Big Gates.
SALUTE TO YOU
It is such a pleasure and means a lot thank you
Wow, im thoroughly impressed. Word for wor, moment for moment perfection. This looks like an astronomical amount of work. I sincerely hope youre able to do more. I love these HL sfm series, theyre so much better than anything from those jokers in Hollywood
This is like a true ending run because he's just nice to every friendly NPC
?
You working with giving Freeman emotions to make up for his silence is impressive. You've got lightning in a bottle here. I only see it improving moving forward. This is awesome.
Your cinematographic skills are amazing. I love Freeman's feeling of fear and heartaching when it comes to kill zombies and when he sees his dead co-workers.
Thank you so much karolyne
I personally liked how u showed up the Gman appearance in this video
Great job
Keep going 🎉
Thank you so much
Gordon seeing the girl he loves fall in the elevator really adds a new dimension to what he must have been going through, absolutely brilliant mate.
Phenomenal. Interesting concept of Dr. Freeman being a mute - it fits perfectly with the convention of the game. An outstanding physicist, but at the same time a person with some degree of handicap - which, of course, one does not exclude the other.
23:04 a missed opportunity to poke the bullsquid to see if it's really dead
But yeah, a fantastic job, and not to mention that this is a one man work. Simply fantastic, from the camera work, scenography, and ending with the animation quality it's one of the best Half Life SFM series we've got (the series that are still in active production and all that)
Keep at it Animux, you are doing God's work for the Half Life community and we are looking forward for what you will bring to us
Thank you so much for your comment ❤
Also, he didn't smash up all the wooden crates scouring for ammo/health pickups :)
@@SireSquish not all will be made in one video.. I don't want to spoil everything
After 1 year in development, it had been worth the wait.
The production on this is absolutely insane. I want you to know how much I appreciate this. I'm glued yo my seat. The animation, the emotion, the music, the camera. It's all done so well.
This is phenomenal, and I'm fine with waiting however long it needs to take! You are making something amazing!
I can't wait for the next episode. You are an amazing person, thank you so much for this!
Much appreciated ❤ thank you
The little details are amazing - the flashlight on the chest, the HEV voice having an actual sound in the environment...
This is amazing! Keep up the good work.
I'm sure someone else has pointed this out, but there are some missing bits. From 21:36-21:40, it just shows black. From 21:55-23:43, there is no sound.
Came to the comments to mention this. I cant explain the black, but the lack of sound might be a content claim. Maybe they used the HL soundtrack music and YT has muted that section.
@@AdrianBawn as far as I remember valve don't do that kind of crap
@@mr_sauce_cooks Guess that means the works of the worst of us on TH-cam, then. People who abuse the TH-cam copyright claim systems just to try to bully us into submission and TH-cam ultimately blames the victim.
@@mr_sauce_cooks This may be because they used somthing from Black Mesa, and they enforce content claims, or someone did a false claim
@@damienfinnegan8272 I doubt black mesa would do something like that it would be pretty scummy besides, they seem pretty supportive of this stuff, but then again the world is full of surprises
This animation is beautiful, I've always wanted a Half-Life live action series and this is the closest I'll get, thank you so much for taking the time to animate this :D
well, there are the freeman chronicles
it's a pleasure, thank you so much Australis
Dude, this is in another level, omg, hope you keep doing it until the end
Thank you
This was great!
Also love that at 4:34 it shows that Gordon can talk and that's he's not mute.
It's my personal headcanon that Gordon went through a trauma prior to Black Mesa, hence why he doesn't talk all that much. Maybe it even has something to do with the picture of the baby in his locker? Then again I'm just theorizing here.
Can't wait for the next episode.
Probably the first non-silent depiction of Gordon and it's actually perfectly fine.
indeed gordon freeman is not mute, " its a case of whats better left unsaid " .
@@Animux.Studios I understood that reference
I thought he sounded like Duke Nukem when he talks
@@sillkthashocker god Gorgeous Freeman 😂
This is the best try at "recreating Half life" through SFM i've seen (and there are VERY good attempt)
PLEASE keep going
It's wild watching the events of Black Mesa this way cause, as playing as Gordon you don't really grasp the possibility that this man has gone through one of the most traumatic events in his life or all of mankind for that matter. You just run and gun and take out literally anything you stumble across but this literally shows moments were Gordon realistically reacts, detatches from reality for a moment, and genuinely seems horrified.
I have no words for such a master piece of work! I cannot wait for what Office Complex will be like!
Thank you so much
Seeing Gordon trying to remain calm while scared is just something else
Dear God, this is absolute art! It's animators like you that give the fans what Hollywood refuses to!
I WAS LITERALLY JUST TALKING about "What if Half-Life Movie" and i chanced upon these two vids. I must say i cant WAIT for Ep 3!!!!! This was amazing! Also although that elevator scene was BONE chilling, i gotta give it to the Barnacle scene! I was wondering how you were gonna adapt that to film and that was PERFECT!!! Ive gotta share this with everyone.
thank you so much for sharing stay tuned for EP3
Really good, showed how I felt as a player experiencing those scenes for the first time. Weird though, sound seems to cut out around 22 mins on. Back at 23:43
So much effort has been put into the modeling, movements and animations of the characters, I can't tell. It wasn't like watching the animation, I focused like watching real actors. It was a movie that I enjoyed watching. I can't wait to see the new episode. Thanks for your effort ♥
it is a pleasure ♥
Shit's so cash. You really feel the weight of certain moments. Brilliant work 🧡
Thank you
I've been waiting for this! This video rocks! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 It deserves so much more views! 😍😍😍 looking forward to watching the upcoming chapters! I love all the details that were put in and the changes for a more cinematic experience ❤️❤️ I'm so sad it ended 😥
Thank you!
Only the video ended not the serious : )
The facial expressiveness 3:00-3:10 made me stop the video to comment how impressive this is. That’s as far as I’ve watched. Liked. Subscribed. Dope as hell
I love how Gordon doesn't shoot anyone unless he has to. That's more realistic for what he'd actually do than what many of us do during gameplay.
Unbelievable. I've seen so many SFM's and animated movies on TH-cam. But this is the best one I've had the pleasure of watching by far.
The fact that unlike other animations, where he just slows down so much from fear. He just rushes out of all that carnage rather, makes him the true Gordon Freeman that we never got to see.
This has to be my fav half life 1 unforeseen consequences animation yet
Thank you Glad you enjoyed the video
@@Animux.Studios thx, this is the best version of Gorgeous Freeman ever
Love this entire video, your camera work is extremely impressive!! At times, it felt like we were in the eyes of the G-Man; stalking Gordon throughout his adventure, out of sight. I can’t wait for this to get more traction, you deserve it!
Thank you so much
Dziękujemy.
You're very welcome
Valeu!
i was waiting for this, you made a great work
thank you
The Half-life tv series we want but valve's didnt wanna to do. Thanks!! keep doing this, it's beautiful
now they will track me down
I really love the recent development in the community of portraying Gordon as a person with complex emotions and trauma. It really adds so much to one of the most badass characters in history
Indeed
WOW! Extremely good job!! Stumbled upon this by accident and just couldn't stop watching, amazing work compensating Gordon's muteness by making his emotions very expressive
Thank you for making this! Subscribed!
Thank you so much divyansh
The young generation who didn't live that time won't understand how amazing this is.
i sure do remember that time when portal storms ravaged the world with alien wildlife as a result of black mesa’s meddling
I can't even imagine a cinematic with the big momma scenes where it hunts and chases you which was epic af even in the game. Hope you get there. Xen is a masterpiece in black mesa
This is truly amazing work and i hope you do the whole game like this till the ending and cant wait for part 3
Thank you i will do my best
It's amazing how accurately you recreated every little event that happened in Half-Life and made it captivating to watch. Also this looks like actual goodd movie. Great camera angles and everything.
thank you so much
From 21:56 audio is missing 😔😔😔
21:56 No sound 23:42 Sound is back
What’s up with the sound cutting out? Is it unfinished or something? @Animux.Studios
WOW!!! Awesome job! This series will be golden! I was getting some Max Payne 3 vibes. Like a moody pessimistic narration will start any second now :). Keep it up!
This is truly amazing, it's unbelievable this is a one-man operation! Also very nice nod to one of Half-Life 2's promo art (I think) at 15:49 with Gordon clenching his crowbar while trying to release the barnacle's grip on his neck! Same facial expression and position! Very cool indeed!
All sound disappears at 21:57 and doesn't come back until 23:41. Have tried refreshing and switching from firefox to chrome. Doesn't do anything, just near 2 minutes of utter silence.
Other than that, this is great video and I look forward to the next one!
Yeah, I'm having the same issue. It's like the video is muted suddenly.
Anyone else notice the audio cut out at 21:57 ??
Nevermind, just read the pinned comment
4:08 I loved this scene, the moment gordon started to collapse mentally
i could say the same
Very beautiful work. We are excitedly waiting for episode 3
It's beautiful, the direction, moment, feeling etc absolutely can feel it. Can't wait for the next part
Thank you so much!
Sound cuts out at 21:57
Other than that this is perfect.
Comes back at 23:42
