This Time Tomorrow - A Half-Life Music Video 

This was really nice - looking forward to seeing what you have planned!

It may or may not be a coincidence, but I love how at 0:50 the lyrics say "Leave the sun behind me" and all we see is just a Combine soldier walking. It matches up so well, could be interpreted as the Combine soldiers leaving their humanity behind after being transformed into the biomechanic killing machines.

I love the shot at 1:04 where the grunt on the close left just looks at the light from outside as the door closes. Maybe I'm overanalysing but I like to think he's trying to stay in touch with what little humanity he has, but the door closes and the light fades, and so does his gaze towards it.

Parrygods animations feel like something out of love+death+robots.

I find it cool how your half life animations are slightly connected and have a proper timeline, I've always found the half life universe to be so interesting, and one of my favourite stories ever, this channel is truly what I've always wanted, thank you

"Music is a language that doesn't speak in particular words, it speaks in emotion" - Master Oogway

0:18 I really like this shot here, just simply a CP unit looking at a photo of what I assume is family or friends, a reminder that Civil Protection units are still humans with unaltered minds of the Combine. These people that joined the ranks for promises of better food and protection of loved ones. Sometimes people must do bad things to make sure others are safer.

Like why no one is commenting about throwbacks to previous story videos from the author in this clip? Feels like nostalgia watching the aftermaths of tense events from the past 0:23 The ending of the PROTECTORS short 0:29 The camcorder is from A Tape From City 17 short, same scene was there 0:33 Interrogation of the rebel survivor from the ANTI-CITIZENS short 0:38 INFESTATION aftermath 0:41 ANTI-CITIZENS aftermath There may be more but the remaining scenes are more generic and I may miss something there

0:55 This shot of the stalker is just so sad the fact that living human beings are turned into this is just horrifying if they had a mind of their own they would've fought back

Small thing but man.. that punch at 0:34 was animated so well

This is above and beyond the best worldbuilding and throwback episode I've ever had the luxury of seeing. Building on characters and settings we've only ever seen for a single episode at best, and then using that as a medium to develop the world they live in. Even humanising the Combine to an extent in some places. It even looks like we're swapping era, with more HL2-esque visuals in some places, a completed Citadel and what seems to be a regular HL2 Combine Soldier with a more bulky set of armour. Never change your style, this is fucking fantastic and it leaves me wanting more.

i really love the part where the two neighbors are just casually talking to each other in an apartment then it cuts to a grim combine soldier marching in the middle, kinda implies how the combine became an imposing barrier that makes the humans divided. reminds me of that introduction in half life 2 where people near the train station refuse to talk to you because of the combine's presence

I love at 0:22 the Ordinal and APF are walking away like they’re going into the sunset and not like they just lost half of their squad and brutally cut a small resistance force apart

You are perhaps the most talented SFM artist I’ve seen. Can’t express how much you actually got the feel and weight and grittiness down of the combine in all your other videos. Pure terror, artificial, clinical and unfeeling. A machine eating away at our collective human spirit. Valve should hire you. Or petition you to make a full fledged animated film. Hats off

The juxtaposition of the cheery music with the grim reality of the HL2 universe is so amazing that it actually shows everything under a new perspective. Bravo!

i love the attention to detail and refferences from other cinematics! Like the guy with the CP tatoo getting punched by a cp ,is acually the only surviving rebel from "ANTI-CITIZEN" , the WALLHAMMER getting face hugged by a headcrab is most likely the one from "Infestation" ,and showing the aftermath from "Protectors" .I love it!

wow, 0:45 I know the author of this illustration. In general, you are good at taking ready-made ideas and using them in a video. I love your content.

this might be a great episode in love, death and robots valve definitely should bring half life movie back to production 🥲

Fantastic work as always ! I so very much want to see your take on the gman, incredible world building skills you have my man

Man's straight making his own Marvel-style connected universe

Stunning video. I especially love the shot of the wallhammer walking in between the razor trains.

0:50 I love these two shots, the first and ota solders, who would have given up his humanity for the combine and the line "leave the sun behind me" while in a dark room looks like he was forced to work indoors and never gets to see the sun, smae with the stalker in the next shot, stalker never really left the indoors, so the lines about the cloud is the same, It's really beautiful

Damn, I need 0:52 as a still image, badass shot!

This feels like an ending to a really amazing Half-Life episode, probably either the first episode or the season finale. Idk it gives me that sort of vibe. Amazing video btw.

You must, honestly, be one of the greatest creators on this platform. And I don't mean just Half-Life content, but content overall. Every single piece you put out leaves me in awe. Cinema quality work!

man, you don't even know how much excited i am for your projects

Love how this ties together all your different animations! The suppressor and ordinal from protectors. The survivor from anti-citizen getting interrogated. The zombified brute from infestation. Sad to see no Blue Eyes reference tho, seeing the guy crawl out from under the tank and run off would've been cool, keep it up!

The shot of the Charger walking in the middle of those two passing trains is pure kino

I realize the Half-Life franchise is no stranger to fanmade cinematic masterpieces, but this upgrade to source 2 has done so much in making animations truly feel like a movie, and TheParryGod has done an amazing job bringing this amazing universe to life.

0:14 I just realised that the citidel is going to explode in that one and that guy is probably dead.

you even connected the "Anti-Citizens" video showing the aftermath. AMAZING WORK

Dude this guy is awesome, there been like 3 days i keep watching this, over and over again. I even added the song on Spotify. I even showed this stuff to my parents and my grandma.

AMAZING! All these little peeks into the lives of the characters from your other videos...

Honestly it feels like you're a pioneer on the RU-vid scene of S2FM animation. I really have no idea why I haven't subscribed to you earlier, your work is really bringing Half-Life... to life! Even more so than other projects I've seen at least. Keep up the good work, I love it!

Love seeing the aftermath of your previous works in this video

I love that "leave the sun behind me" bit. It's really striking for some reason.

Omg seeing more extra content from your previous work was so invigorating, like seeing what happened to the charger who got the head crab on him, the charger who got blown up and severely wounded and the guy who survived that charger getting interrogated etc. Your work on half life in s2fm has been a great experience, keep up your great work man

I think these two overwatch soldiers who survived protectors short are the same one from the infestation video where one gets shot by shotgun and second gets turned into a zombie.

Your content has kept improving more than any other SFM creator I've seen and I congratulate you for that, I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!

Watching all the callbacks to previous shorts makes it feel like I’m watching the last minute of a season finale to some anthology show, and I’m just waiting for the next season of more amazing stories. And I think that feeling is a testament of just how well made your animations are, how they’re able to get me invested and hooked with just minutes of content. And the amount of detail and polish packed into those minutes is mind-boggling impressive. You’re genuinely one of, if not the best doing it right now. Never stop.

This video has something special that touches me a lot, the music of The kinks is very tasteful, the 4:3 ratio gives a rather nostalgic feeling and each shot transmits a lot of emotion, congratulations ! (sorry for my english if i made some misspelling 😆)

One word: "gorgeous" by far the best animations I've ever seen, I'm looking forward for more, no doubt , thanks for the hard work

Your S2FMs bring so much depth into the world of Half-Life it's fucking insane. I grew up playing the games so the franchise and universe is very close to my heart, and seeing stuff like this being made in the community fills me with so much joy. Thank you for doing what you do, and I can't (but will) wait to see what else you have in store for us.

Looking forward to seeing what's on the plate :). Looks exciting!

Okay, this is beautiful. Honestly reminds me of how the Halo 2A cutscenes were framed, but if it was Half-Life instead. Truly a spectacle as always, Parry.

I've always loved the music edits of videos/movies. Cinematic shots with the right tune can be so satisfying, you should definitely do more of these in the future!

Amazing! It's like all videos connect in narrative universe, like stories in the main game.

The slow mo walking animation is super satisfying. 0:50

I'm ready for a full length movie directed by TheParryGod.

I like the scenes that reference anti citizen. With the metro cops torturing the last resistance guy, and the 'wall hammers" squad carrying him.

I like how most of the scenes in the video lead to one of his past videos.

Half life is my favorite fictional universe, and i feel its the perfect world building... your animations make it even richer

Another banger as usual. Keep up the amazing work!

I've always dreamed about being able to create sfm videos like this and overlay it with some music or like the other badass cinematics you've made. Great work

Adore that scene of the ordinal walking towards the camera whilst two trains are moving by on both sides

I always get excited for every video. each just a snapshot of people in a grand story that's unseen still grand in each depiction.

Man, your animations are truly insane!!

Loooove the nods to your other stories! Really fantastic work as usual!

"God, I hope you don't remember who you were."

It’s always exciting to get notified a new ParryGod vid dropped. You have been a huge inspiration to me and have shown just how powerful Source 2 Filmmaker can be in the hands of a very talented artist. I’ve enjoyed the journey thus far and look forward to what is to come! Great work as always dude!

Man why is it that 60s/70s songs ALWAYS fit post apocalyptic/distopian settings perfectly? I can't think of a situation where you couldn't cram something like this and have it flawlessly work

Great work!

This was nice looking back on all the work you've done while seeing some glimpses at the future. You post amazing content Parry. Glad to support you.

Looks beautiful! So clean and realistic looking, I don’t know anyone that can make SFMs like this.

This was Awesome, and it is a really nice depiction of how bleak the combine’s reign is. Great job man!

Another great video! Loved all the callbacks as Keksimus pointed out.

most lore accurate Combine I've ever seen, you put in a lot of research for them! Can't wait to see more.

I wondered why the old video we did for this one was getting so many new views and comments, thanks for using our version!

1:04 SO badass!

You are truly insane with this stuff! Bloody chills everytime

I get chills at the dropship scene

Love the dystopia vibe and the image with cheerful music, really gives you some special feeling to it.

Amazing work! Can't wait for more content, I really appreciate you making this for us.

honestly i like the combine they are doing what they are doing and also rule the multiverse

Keep up the good work brother! Absolutely jaw dropping skills and story telling, you'll definitely be getting far with this effort!

ParryGod singlehandedly keeping the Half Life fandom alive

Love all the callbacks to previous works. The couple displaced by the Combine, one of the Stabilization Teams we've followed in their dropship, the cleanup of the listening post we saw get raided, the headcrab charger we witnessed the death of, and many new faces too. Loved the imagery as well - the two sitting on a rooftop watching the birds fly and the striders muck about, the dropship approaching the Citadel which spans well above and below what the screen could possibly show, the framing of so many shots and the atmosphere they have in a literal and figurative sense.

I love the little details that tie into your previous videos. Keep up the good work!

It's very cool to see short continuations to previous animations. Keep up the good work!

So captivating

Cant stop rewatching..

Don't stop! This is awesome!

Some interesting details I noticed while watching this video: 0:14 - Most likely the appearance of the "Initial Spire", which is basically the foundation of the citadel, built out of an unknown material, it has been delivered through some form of portal which Alyx (or whoever drew the diagrams on the marker white board in H-L:A) referred to as a "Perpetual Storm" (some kind of portal storm or a combine portal, not fully certain), the rest of the citadel was built from materials collected on earth, athough some different things which could not be made on earth were possibly still delivered through that. Worth noting that the huge hole which the citadel sits in was created shortly before or when the spire was delivered, basically the area of City 17 was completely removed without any debris, either was just teleported out or completely evaporated, in any case both methods probably involve getting as many materials as possible out of it- I don't think it's known if citizens were escorted from that location or not, I am quite sure that they would at least warn them about it, and if not, surely some Civil Protection or other combine units were at that spot and evacuated out of that area, would be possibly noticed or found out one way or another, there is a lot of things to speculate on this topic, and is surely a pretty fun topic for internet discussion. 0:22 - The Combine Ordinal and Supressor from the PROTECTORS animation leaving to be picked up by the dropship after killing the last Anti-Citizen. 0:26 - Scene from "A tape from City 17", we can see the camcorder laying on the roof, although it happens at a slightly different time, as the characters are sitting in a different spot instead of standing up (the scene in that animation can be seen at 1:12 ), this does mean the person on the left is the one who recorded everything. 0:33 - The only surviving Anti-Citizen from the ANTI-CITIZENS animation being tortured somewhere- most likely Nova Prospekt or some nearby Combine outpost. 0:37 - Zombified Combine Charger from the INFESTATION short. 0:41 - Conclusion of the ANTI-CITIZENS short, the Wallhammer is being moved out after having their whole body paralyzed- makes me hope they do make it out, it is rather safe to assume that they are alive since they are the first to be moved out of there- except for the Anti-Citizen obviously. 1:04 - Some random shot of Combine Grunts taking off in a container of a dropship, definitely not related to the PROTECTORS animation, as in that short, there were only two grunts, and one of them was killed. 1:11 - Absolutely beautiful shot of the Citadel with some really nice, high quality details, truly wallpaper material right there.

Such talent should be illegal. Awesome work as usual. The way you included characters from past videos is really well-done.

You know what happiness is when you see the notification from the parrygod about a fresh awesome content!

MAN THIS CHANNEL ARE SO TALENTED AND UNDERRATED

Amazing atmospheric. Good work!

I really like how there are snippets of what happened a few seconds or a few minutes after a video...or during the point of time in said video.

yo no cap this vid vibe be bussin

1:13 very cool pic

you greatly enrich the half-life universe with the quality and execution of your videos, your dedication is admirable!

I absolutely love your use of the post processing editor in the Source 2 tools. It's insane how photo-real you can get things to look with it!

A Parrygod video? My god what a wonderful day, I seriously don't think days can be better than when parrygod uploads. Love all the little details like the start of the citadel construction in the 2nd clip, still with the portal effects and all that, so much detail.

0:45 is so sweet. the guy has so much charisma just in this small movement. you can tell by the way the woman is listening that he's either damned interesting or funny as hell. each movement is so small but is so well done.

Really well done once again. Can't wait for more!

0:52 I'd LOVE it if the heavier Combine soldiers like this used AR2's or Spas-12's on Semi-auto rather then strictly using their gigantic (pulse?) shotgun.

You’ve never cease to amaze me man amazing job

Wow you are really specifying the emotional tones you want to express

How you've managed to consistently upload with such a level of quality amazes me
