  • A civil protection team is responding to reports of a miscount in restricted, infested subway tunnels, and discover a rebel network node.
    This is the first 'real' S2FM project on my channel that I've actually put some kind of effort in, and first real attempt at creating an animation that tells a short yet coherent slice of life story. All feedback is welcome!
    Created with Source 2 Filmmaker, and Half Life Alyx assets.

      They obviously still select for the kinds of psychopathic and sociopathic behavior traits that an authoritarian regime would select for its police force, as well as probably some minor brainwashing, but that still leaves gaps where things will slip through every now and then.

    This shows the depressing pristine hell the combine put onto everyone. We also see the remaining humans wether they held on. And the daily lives of those who joined Civil Protection willingly, conscripted, or got desperate to survive. But this is by far one of the most interesting S2FMs I've seen for a while.

    Enjoyed the general idea, but the execution was a bit rough. I'm still thoroughly impressed with what you've made, and there is a lot of heart in it. Some of the animations felt a bit jerky and stiff, specifically. Even with that in mind this was a nice end result. I hope you'll keep animating!

The mixing of voice lines was amazing, the animation overall was good, only the CP running animation looked off but I know that’s custom, the story was enjoyable and you were able to wordlessly communicate plot points. Great cinematography overall.

    The resurgence of Half Life content through S2FM makes me so happy! Especially with new interpretations to build off of the civil protection, and combine procedures, and go into the depth that we don't see in the games themselves. Really proud of you Foxar. Whatever walls you've overcome while learning S2FM was well worth it, and I'm glad you pushed through!

  • @hoizen27701
    @hoizen27701 2 ปีที่แล้ว +67

    This was great. The exploration of the combine from the combine perspective is seriously lacking in the HL universe, and I love every bit of this kind of content. You captured it exactly as I envision it and the focus on CPs without any full-on combine soldiers or especially overwatch really helps to capture the scale of everything; such as how substantial it would be to have combine soldiers on site etc. The games themselves tend to tear down the scale by having you mowing down hundreds of them, whereas this kind of story you're telling is so much more how I'd like the world of HL2 to be told. I'd love to see more in this style, from all mediums: games, videos, animations, mods etc, For now, I'm just happy I got to watch this today. Thank you. For feedback, I know you already know what you want to improve, so I'll just put emphasis on scene transition as the #1 part that needs improvement. Looking forward to more!
