[SFM] Heart to Heart: A Half-Life 2 Ep2 Scene Remake

When Gordon Freeman and the Vortigaunts go against the will of the "Gman's Employers", The Galactic Businessman decides to warn Freeman of "Unforeseen Consequences..."
This is a 4-5 minute long animation, created in Source 2 Filmmaker that I have been working on and off for since at least January of 2022.
It was planned to be released in April, but some of you already know that those plans were interrupted due to the channel being hijacked.
The animation is based off of a scene that occurs in hl2 ep2 briefly after Gordon(the player) and the Vortigaunt Retrieves "The Extract" an Antlion Guard dispensed "Item" that the Vortigaunts Required for bringing Alyx Vance from the brink of death.
If not for the Healing scene itself (Alyx X-RAY) moment) I probably would have cut this shorter. Also considering there is already a source 2 remake of this particular gman speech already out there (which itself is pretty well done), I decided I should add a few more things to keep mine unique.
This animation was both a pain and a pleasure to make, and probably took way longer than it needed to, but I'm extremely proud of it.
I really hope I didn't miss any mistakes....
...And I hope you enjoy it, like it, share it, and even have criticism for it.
Thank you all for supporting me throughout the Entirety of this TH-cam Channel's existence, and giving me more motivation to create and animate than just money and attention.
This will be uploaded on May 30th, 2023
The seventh anniversary of this channels creation, back when I only made gaming videos lol.
I will be going on vacation for a couple weeks after this uploads, there may or may not be a scheduled animation uploaded a week or 2 after.
Now I am become Tired, destroyer of sleep.

At this point. It wouldn't be crazy to believe that the community could make a HL2 complete remake

[@farawaygaming_]

See her safely to White Forest, Doctor Freeman.

[@SpectrumAnalysis]

The best part of this is how he appears in the corner during the "Dr Freeeeemaaaaan~" like a horror movie villain, just on the periphery, and it feels like you're paralyzed and unable to turn your head to see him properly. Creepy...

[@GalanThings]

Only now I realized another layer of brilliance of that scene. We are surrounded by Vortigaunts, which are quite monstrous in their appearance and clearly alien. Yet they are friendly, are trying to help and clearly care out the outcome of all this. THEN the G-Man walks in and while looking human, you can feel that he is the one to be feared in this situation, a real alien

[@ferrumbellatorwarsmith3342]

The Gman is never one to ignore... opportunities such as miss Vance, Doctor Freeman, corporal Shephard. He is a business... man after all.

[@Trivvy]

I am extremely impressed by the x-ray effect. I think I have a feeling how you may have done it, but I'd love to hear (or see) a bit of BTS on how it was done here.

[@haruseyon]

That slight smile, like "I finally got you, Doc"

[@Woodraine]

Question: will the purple vorts have blue or red eyes? They had blue in episode one, and then red in episode two. Ep 1 is cooler but Ep 2 is more accurate.

[@TheEngieTF2]

This is truly a "GALUNGA- DOCTOR FREEEEEMAAAAAAN..." moment

[@homestuckfan8844]

I speak for EVERYONE, when I say WE WILL BE WATCHING

[@Leitis_Fella]

"You beat some traits we thought innate to Vortikind"

[@sufficientframe]

Perfect amount of movement and facial expression - not too static, but not too fluid either; people sometimes seem to forget that, even though he looks

It's magnificent, i like how you kept his expressions relatively tame. Other attmepts have him ridiculously overanimated and grinning almost all the time. You actually put effort and though into making it look like it should. With his being properly unsettling and stilted.

[@KrazyDavLP]

Prepare… for unforeseen…..consequences

[@GloriG_C17]

Cant Wait to see Sheckley and Griggs in Source 2.

[@Tab1300]

Whats even more scary is that someone is able to keep a leash on Gman with all the shit we see him do.

[@DuneJumper]

Fart to fart

[@TheKiller1922]

I seriously admire you paying attention to Alyx having suitable underwear. A small detail that wasn't even in the original despite logic. Great work, as usual!

[@ketaku7515]

Since the ending of Alyx, I feel like this whole scene has a way different kind of weight to it. Initially it seems like the G-Man had his personal reasons to save Alyx, but now with said conclusion it is more like he foresaw the potential "betrayal" of Freeman at the whim of the Vortigaunts. And with Mark Laidlaw's Epistle 3 it seems like a time shift like that was necessary to carry out the true wishes of...whoever is really in charge.
