Half-Life:Episode Two | Unforeseen Consequences 

If you guys don't recognise these moments from half life 1 this animation is for black mesa a fangame/remake of half life 1 Pls pin this

on behalf of all of us die hard fans, thank you so much for this. You really did an outstanding job!

This is more a more faithful adaptation than we'd ever get from Hollywood

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!

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.

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.

I love how Gordon breaks his silence at 4:30 when the elevator broke. Truly, an amazing series you’re building.

"this is a one man project" That just blows my mind, you Sir are an absolute legend.

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!

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.

Never have I seen such an amazing scene of surprise at 4:30. Just breaking the silence at the sudden elevator falling really makes it realistic.

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!

This was incredible.

the suit giving him away during the vortigaunt scene was done fantastically

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!

hope everyone enjoyed the video, Please do like and subscribe to my channel support me on patreon: www.patreon.com/animux UPDATE : unfortunately YT muted my video at 21:56 - 23:42 for the audio was copy right claimed though i had permission to use. Apologies for this messy situation will upload the muted part as a short later on : ru-vid.comg9tTb-70HXI?feature=share ru-vid.comOctxc_Z14LE?feature=share

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!

4:33 Truly caught me off-guard. His crush was crushed. 💀

these 25 minutes went by really fast, outstanding work!

Half-Life:Episode Three?

15:50 I love that you actually used the number of shots it takes to kill a barnacle in-game with 9mm

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!

11:17 nice callback to The Freeman Chronicles

Just imagine the horrors Gordon encountered that day at black mesa

I like the fact, this wasn't done overly dramatic... this actually seems quite realistic (their reactions, movement animations etc.)

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.

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 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!

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! Gordon also looks so much more disheveled! The man looks like he's seen shit! And he does, ho boy does he! This is just *mwah*, magnificent. I can't wait to see how you handle the next episode!

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!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

The young generation who didn't live that time won't understand how amazing this is.

"And, keep that hazard-suit on until you're in the clear!": Can't help but notice that his HEAD is COMPLETELY EXPOSED.

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.

What a great retelling of Half-Life. Hope you keep it up. Really good work

There is progress. The animation of walking, of course, has not become perfect, but it is much better. Excellent job! How many people have worked on this? Edit: Oh, you're alone. Then I am very surprised to make such an animation it takes a lot of time and effort.

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

Why does the audio cut out at 22:00 ?

You made my awful and depressed night. God bless you!

Calmest day in Gordon Frreeman life:

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.🏆

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!

This is like a true ending run because he's just nice to every friendly NPC

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.

After 1 year in development, it had been worth the wait.

Animux this is an absolute masterpiece! The feels I got watching this..This should be a feature length film!

Wow this is amazing! The atmosphere tense and the way how you make Gordon look distressed is very well done. Keep it up!

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

I personally liked how u showed up the Gman appearance in this video Great job Keep going 🎉

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

Its of course way early in this but I am already curious how Animux is gonna solve the 10 or so weapons Gordon carrys in later parts ... 🙄

Sound goes out at the 20 min mark...

Seeing Gordon trying to remain calm while scared is just something else

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

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

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.

21:59 - 23:42 missing audio?

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.

The Half-life tv series we want but valve's didnt wanna to do. Thanks!! keep doing this, it's beautiful

4:08 I loved this scene, the moment gordon started to collapse mentally

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

I'm not sure if this is a recent issue, but the audio completely cuts out around 21:50. Ruins the last few minutes of an otherwise amazing project.

Gordon freeman shouting no when the elevator vwemt down. Actually fits because those scientists were his friends.

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

I have no words for such a master piece of work! I cannot wait for what Office Complex will be like!

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

Amazing video! Is it possible to fix the sound from 21:55 to 23:41?

Near the end the sound cuts out and I can't hear anything. Anyone else experience this?

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.

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.

Sound cuts out at 21:57 Other than that this is perfect.

Masterpiece! But at 21:56 there is no sound ...

Outstanding work :) Btw, did you know that at 21:56 untill 23:42 the audio is off ?

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 😥

My audio keeps dissapearing right before he gets to that ladder on minute 22:08

Dear God, this is absolute art! It's animators like you that give the fans what Hollywood refuses to!

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!

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.

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!

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!

22:20 I'm guessing copyright muted the video here

2:20 "My god...what have we done." LETTING THE DAYS GO BY-

Shit's so cash. You really feel the weight of certain moments. Brilliant work 🧡

Dude, this is in another level, omg, hope you keep doing it until the end

Man, now I feel bad for laughing at all the horrific things that happened when I played the game

Anyone else have an audio cut out at 21:53 - 23:43 ?

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 RU-vid algorithm miracle recommendation. Masterful editing, grand storytelling & overall glorious execution! Truly outstanding work. And I don't use my words lightly. Subscribed & Notification Bell activated

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

Unbelievable. I've seen so many SFM's and animated movies on RU-vid. But this is the best one I've had the pleasure of watching by far.

This masterpiece is second only to Demo Mesa

As a kid I've always wanted a movie about Half life. It was the ultimate for me. Fast forward to today I have grown a fear that they would make a movie and butcher my beloved story for the sake of Woke bs and money. THIS, this is what Ive always wanted. It is so well done and even better than what I pictured in my head as a kid. Please, PLEASE finish the whole of the story. It is absolutely amazing

Another spectacular episode man! I love how terrified you managed to make Gordon, especially with his eyes. The fact that he still does press on is a testament to how heroic he is, in spite of all the fear he must be feeling. Also, the amount of sweat on his face reminds me of the last half hour of Alien when the Nostromo crew are being pursued by the Xenomorph haha (in the best way possible). You have a great eye for the cinematic. I loved how most of the shots in this chapter are seemingly from the perspective of someone..or someTHING that is watching/stalking Freeman. Gives a sense of it being grounded, but also adds a spookiness factor. I didn't know how anyone could've made that elevator sequence even more sad; then you went ahead and added the woman he first saw back in Episode One into the lift. Damn ye ;( I also liked how you envisioned the first Houndeye encounter, with Freeman narrowly avoiding death. You really emphasized how difficult the journey for him must be in "real-life". That G-man appearance through the mirror was also a cool way to respect the way he appears in the game while also being a sneaky reference to Enter the Freeman ;) The standout sequence for me is the entire sewer section from 15:16 to 17:03 . You transformed a short and easy section of the chapter into a tense and claustrophobic encounter. I was especially impressed by how you depicted Gordon getting strangled by the barnacle. Harkens back to that old HL2 concept art that we all know and love. Finally, that crowbar to the head at 16:53 is such a great end to the sequence. I feel like if this was shared with a live audience, that moment would've elicited applause and chuckles.

For a second there at 4:40 I thought I heard ‘anti-depressant administered.’ Like Gordon just saw some seriously scarring and depressing shit and the suit thought he needed meds to not die.

21:56 No sound 23:42 Sound is back

Why does the sound cut near the end?

Я там был, прошёл этими стопами Чёрную Мезу ещё 17-18 лет назад. Прям как дома очутился просматривая это видео.

Very oversaturated & too dark in some places - everything a good MIT Graduate needs with a PhD in theoretical physics .

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
