on god i don’t know anything about half life, let alone hlvrai. but for every SINGLE animation/animatic i see of this shit, it only makes me want to watch the series more 😭😭
thanks! we actually didn't have the breathing at first, and the scene was super static and boring without it. it was a bit of an improvisation (a real "let's see if this works" moment) but it ended up complementing the scene really well in the end
I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOVE THE IDEA OF THIS Benrey being so different, so godly and basically NOT a natural part of this virtual world that he's fascinated by what it brings because he's literally like... an eldritch god, is so good. And then his happiness and wonder grows and grows when he starts to hang around Gordan and the rest of his crew because he feels included and has something to do, it's great! Well done on this, it's very underrated!
I have not once until today considered the fact that Benrey in canon is just an all powerful space God that showed up randomly at Black Mesa one day and just started working at it
A year late but oh my gosh I cannot put into words how much I adore this. The concept, the drawings, the details, the animation, it's all so GOOD. I've watched this so many times, it's so fun to watch! I just love the idea of Benrey being an alien that took Barney's place and is now absolutely enraptured by Black Mesa. Absolutely incredible job!
I like how heavily this implies that Benrey is not only completely not human (with his sharp teeth, and three sharp fingers instead of five) but also that Benrey learned all of Black Mesa's rules and regulations, and also got a full passport just before the events of HLVRAI, as well as getting to know all of the Black Mesa staff personally
im not familiar with all the fandoms described here, but at 1:07, i think that's wheatley? at 1:19, im pretty sure those are jesse pinkman and walter white hatsune miku is at 1:39
I love that this shows Benrey being amazed by everything in Black Mesa because Scorpy (Benrey’s actor) had a lot of moments where he was just reacting to the setting since he never played half life. Benrey being amazed by the setting is extremely in character
My idea of benry he is a code corrupted security guard who glicthed nilinth out of the code and became the final boss who glicthed with power of missing textures and his code just spells ERROR
