Just want to say, when I get comments on my channel, I usually only heart comments I think are insightful or kind or funny or interest me in some way, I don't use it willy-nilly as many small channels like mine often do, but I've gotten 63 comments as of writing and I think all of them have been all of the above. I just wanna thank everyone for genuinely having something to say about my work, particularly the criticism, as it helps me immensely when planning future animations. I cant tell you how nice it is to have people engage with a creation of yours, seriously, you lot are really great. Thanks so much
I get insane cummies from my comment getting hearted. Hope you hit 1k subs soon, you deserve it!
Dude you’re Awesome!
I love how the FMJ lines fit into the video so naturally since they have the same audio quality as early Freeman's Mind
I think the part that gets me the most about this is the genuinely *dangerous* look in Gordon's eyes. Dude looks like he'd shoot you for looking at him funny... which he absolutely does, multiple times, throughout the series. It makes it all so much funnier when he looks like he's giving the entire world a death glare for daring to keep getting in his way.
Gordon is lucky there was a full on alien invasion or else he'd be up for so many charges of aggravated self defence
That one poor Vortigaunt in the train car in Half Life 2 RIP
@@PaperThinArmor Ptsd can be a bitch.
the cool thing about that, Ross's Freeman doesn't start out that way. Slowly by the end of the first series, he develops a psychopathic personality, shooting first, and at one point, singing in the middle of a firefight.
Yeah, I feel that eventually he'd shoot up the lab complex, aliens or not, it was inevitable. Lucky for him he finally got the excuse to do it.
I like how Freeman's mouth moves just like Ross's when he talks.
Gordon’s eyes are so bloodshot, you can just see the psycho in them-
He has been running around for days on end without sleep, and having eaten only one bag of doritos.
That's just the oxycodone
RIP Doc, J, 8-ball, Cowboy, Animal Mother… you went to ‘Nam against the Freeman.
Freeman kind of did become his own, almost literally one man (save the handful of times he bothered to grab a guard) Vietcong didn't he?
I love the fact that he's got his ponytail back
The way he uses his right hand to keep the MP5 against his body to keep it from bouncing as he sprints around the corner is a 10/10 tiny detail.
Man, that opening shot was perfect! You absolutely nailed the "Annoyed, slightly insane, and hungover" look, it could have come right out of a Kubrick film.
I adore the addition of the ALICE harness, and the slung weapons. It's a very nice addition, because it fits perfectly with the more down to earth attitude of Freeman's mind: of course Gordon would have his weapons slung, and of course he'd grab a load bearing harness off a dead soldier, the HEV suit doesn't have much in the way of pockets, not nearly enough to accommodate the amount of Ordinance he carries around. I also appreciate animating the reloads, and scavenging the ammo.
The addition of the little Full Metal Jacket reference was inspired, shit like that adds little things that make the animation more than just Freeman's mind from a 3rd person perspective, I could watch an entire series of Freeman'a mind redone with little additions like that to just add to the scenes.
The look in the eyes is also spectacular. They say the eyes are window into the soul, and you managed to capture the Gordon look.
Plus the A+ ponytail. ❤
Ross Scott's Freeman definitely has a ponytail.
Can we pay respect to author for showing how and where Gordon wearing all whose weapons and ammunition
This really encapsulates how insane Ross Scott's Gordon Freeman is
I don't exactly know why, but I kinda love the first 15 seconds of Freeman talking compared to when he talks later. It perfectly captures the look of a genuinely *dangerous* person, and just the way his mouth is exaggerated when he's talking about the turret is amazing.
I've toned back my facial animations for the next one I'm working on as I type, but I think you'll get too see just how far gone Gordon is compared to a normal person. The crazy eye is a core feature of Gordons expression.
@@codaboi138 I kind of like the exaggerated facial features, kind of fits with freemans larger than life personality
Love the additions of the turret transforming and the marines talking.
That opening shot of Gordon looking unhinged and annoyed is perfect lol
Amazing animation; great incorporation of the Marine's perspective. Love the kubrick stare at the start.
10/10
Kubrick stare, i think that was foreshadowing
I’m absolutely in love with how realistic the fire arms use and combat looks in this animation
I adore this look for Freeman with all of his weapons and even some of the soldiers' various ammo pouches and slings. I love that it looks like Freeman has just been scavenging everything through the facility.
What I love about this video, aside from how well animated it is and all the humor included, is that it tries to give backstory to why those soldiers kept running around that corner lol.
Having just watched Full Metal Jacket, this is excellent! I love that Private Joker got to meet his fate at the hands of the Freeman.
"The dead know only one thing... dont mess with the Freeman"
I was not expecting the FMJ reference, that was a masterful recreation. Putting that aside, the only areas that still need work are the mouth movements still resembling puppet jowls at times and some of the movement being too fast, like the support beam collapsing and resembling a rubber hose when it hits the ground, though these flaws can be seen as contributing to a comic charm if that's what you're going for, either way I still enjoyed the animation. You continue to maintain a baseline level of quality in terms of attention given to facial movement, camerawork, and action scenes that I rarely see in animation, much less fan works for a machinima. Keep it up!
Thanks you so much for the feed back, it's very helpful c: about the beam, it was a last minute inclusion, just to give some punch to the destruction Freeman caused. The idea was to make it look like the weight and angle of the beam falling caused it to buckle and wobble. I suppose, for a support beam, it shouldn't do that in the way I animated it, so I'll take note. And yes, facial animations need to be toned back for sure. I'm pretty pumped to find the next clip to animate so I can get these things right. These comments have helped a ton and given me some ideas, so thanks for giving me pointers and thank you very much for the compliments:D
Freema's face at the very beginning of the video is exactly how I imagine his face looking throughout the entirety of the first half-life game, perpetually pissed and tired
This is pretty much what I imagine while watching freemans mind lmao
Ross' voice really fits Gordon's face
The FMJ reference was absolutely perfect.
Beautiful. Another Freeman’s Mind Animation is just as good as a new Freeman’s Mind episode. Only criticism I can give is the mouth movements at the later half of the episode were superior to the ones in the first half. I could see the quality improve as the video went on, I can tell you’re constantly improving with each frame!
To be honest, I do see that now. At the start I was drawing inspiration from animated films like Megamind, with exaggerated facial and limb movements, but by the end I was doing more realistic movements. I can see It didn't fit the tone of the video as a whole, so I'm taking notes for the next one :D thank you dearly for the feedback!
I'm impressed by an actual moving head and mouth. Most just have freeman helmeted
I kinda liked the exaggerated expressions
Honestly? Going from deranged exaggerated movement to something normal AFTER the things that got in Freeman's way get taken out, it works pretty well for Ross's take on the character.
Okay so I have just watched it and well here are my thoughts, Freeman was really chattering away wasn't he, his jaw was moving so fast.
The turret trying to transform to chase him was hilarious and the soldier trying to run & spray with a LMG was so funny, especially since he got about the kind of accuracy you'd expect from someone trying to do that.
Overall, solid little video, for which I thank you.
this is amazing man, love the FMJ reference
I love how expressive these animations are getting!
seeing freeman with several of his weapons slung over and with ALICE suspension is a pr cool take on how he carries all that stuff
These are the types of animations that I really love. Rather than just take something funny and add some visuals, you expanded the scene. The turret walking, Freeman actually having all of his guns strapped to him, the inclusion of the soldiers, all nice additions that elevate the original into some new and cool. Top tier stuff.
The lip sync and facial animations in this are crazy good! Both cartoony, stylized, and realistic to a certain degree! This is amazing work!
Thank you!
And that is why you follow orders.
Gotta say I love the way his jaw flaks left and right, really suits the way he speaks so pissed yet confidentally. Awesome animation overall! :D
Very nice. Both impressed with the mouth animations and the fluid action. Also really like that the HECU are wearing the urban MOUT T-pattern camo, a fairly obscure camo.
God dammit, RUclips! Why did take you TWO YEARS to recommend me this video ?!
These videos are absolutely phenomenal. I've been watching Freeman's Mind since I was a kid and I always wished that there were more fan animations. I finally have my wish!
Me too! It's what made me want to make these in the first place :p hopefully I can keep at it and give what like-minded people what we always wanted all that time ago.
@@codaboi138 You completely understand! Godspeed friend!
Hey same here!
I love how Freeman's face syncs up with the audio.
Holy shit, this is absolutely gorgeous. While there are still some limitations that firmly keep SFM content in the uncanny valley, the way the expressions move, the bits of detail in Gordon's model, and the finer details in his movements like how he slapped the charging handle on his MP5 or when he took the magazine out of the dropped MP5 right when the audio says he does. And finally, that extra bit with Full Metal Jacket added in was hilarious.
Absolutely stunning
The framing, face movements, and body language in that opening shot is 100% chef's kiss material
Wow, I love how expressive Gordon is in this animation. Keep up the great work
Really dig the details like him readying the gun and the different things he uses to hold all his guns.
oh, my GOD that looks good. facial expressions, body language and everything! very well done!
gman would hire you because of how good this is
I really like the attention to detail with Gordon taking gear from the soldiers and putting them on his person. The canteen is what stuck out to me initially because it makes sense, like of course Gordon would get thirsty.
I actually never noticed that the gear has a canteen on it lol. I'd just sort of stuck the soldier gear on gordons suit so he could put his ammo away realistically, but I like that you pointed that out. I bet Freeman's mind Gordon would have loved to have that in the serise, though he'd probably complain that it wasn't vodka instead.
[you take a sip from your trusty Black Mesa Canteen]
It makes so much sense that Gordon would’ve stolen web gear/ammo belt from the HECU
very real and believable facial animations :0 some of the best ive seen in source (esp in the last shot of freeman talking)
The lipsyncing is amazing, I also love how you animated all the different guns slung on him. Definitely my favourite freeman’s mind animated to date, I’d love to see more 👀
You managed to get Gordon's face to perfectly convey just the right mix of frustration and contemp.
this was possibley the funniest episode of FM ever and even the quotes have stuck with me for 13 years
I always wanted to see what Freeman looked like with all the weapons you carry in game. Thank you so much for that
I love that you made sure to add the fact Freeman has a ponytail in the first Half-Life.
I love those background gags and cutaways.
You went above and beyond for this one!
This is absolutely stellar. Please, keep going and growing.
Found these clips after going on a Freeman's Mind binge.
They're really nice.
Thank you!
oh man! I can't believe how polished and well animated this is! Love the bit from full metal jacket
I really enjoy how you animate freeman with all the ALICE gear and straps, good stuff!
his face movements are so good omg
Freeman vs Full Metal Jacket is amazing
I like how you added slings to gordons guns and alice gear over gordons hev suit, good detail since the man is walking/sprinting/b-hopping around black mesa with a whole squad worth of weapons and equipment
if they made a Freeman's mind animated movie, i would want it animated just like this XD
The FMJ bit was just perfect
The opening with Gordon's flap jaw had me concerned but dear god it just got better and better, really good work
seriously, brilliant, the FMJ homage was fantastic
@@piggosalternateaccount4917 thank you, more is coming... eventually lol
I can't get over how you animated his face in such a way that's unnerving in the best way possible. It's like Jack Nicholson "Here's Johnny" tier stuff but more subtle.
Thank you for the kind words :D I am drawing inspiration or these animation from Stanley Kubrick films (like that Full Metal Jacket part) so I think you might have just gave me an idea for the next one ;)
@@codaboi138 If that was the goal, you succeeded. God damn, this is a masterpiece.
@@codaboi138 Ohohoh! I had forgotten FMJ was Kubrick too, very excited for the next one then! I love the idea of "genuinely scary sociopath Gordon that was just waiting for an excuse to be violent" a lot, to the degree I consider it canon so this is a treat and a half.
I love that the second soldier is the medic that the first one called for, nice work!
These are really good. Probably the best animated Freemans Minds out there.
Thats some good facial animation.
Freeman proves that camping is a legit strategy.
Great job on the animation.
Wow that’s the best freeman animated I’ve ever seen good job m8
I think this is an alternate universe where Gordon didn't cut his ponytail.
It gave him the ability to talk and turned him into an asshole
unbelievable animation quality
I'm too much of a sucker for Freeman's Mind SFMs.
Also, I love all the little details you've added along side the Full Metal Jacket dialog, it makes it feel like I'm watching a clip from a movie.
This was absolutely astounding!
Hell yeah man, these animations are always awesome!
Ok the turret growing legs and crossing around the corner had me fuckin crying. With the perfect and seamless FMJ reference 😭 this video is blessed. Please make more sometime.
Thank you :p. I'm working on another one, but it's quite long so it's gonna be a while.
You know…it never occurred to me Gordon would take the web gear off the HECU guys, for the magazine pouches. Makes sense since your already looting them for ammo and grenades, just never thought of that.
I wanted to actually show how Gordon carries all his weapons and ammo, since I don't like the magically disappearing guns thing that many people resort too, nor the guns stuck to people backs with glue like videogames often do. The HEV suit doesn't have any kind of storage system so this was the only way I could reasonably do it. I think it works well in the end though.
1:41 This is the "think" in run, think, shoot, live
i appreciate the T block on the marines. very good
The algorithm has blessed me again
Those facial animations ESPECIALLY are amazing, I dont think I've ever seen Gordon quite so 'Animated' (hahagetit)
Amazing work!
man this is really well done. pays a lot of attention to the small details, and the merging of the second half of FMJ was seamless. bravo!
Man,every time I see a Freemans Mind animation, the more I start to believe that Ross Scott should be the canonical voice of Gordon
I didn't expect a Full Metal Jacket reference
its good to see people still care enough about freemans mind to make high quality sfm/gmod videos about it
I just noticed that when Doc Jay gets shot he’s actually carrying a med pack! Also it actually looks like Joker crouching behind the sandbags, based on his glasses.
That is meant to be joker haha. And I'm glad people notice these little details!
In that scene also, you can see that Eightball calls for a medic right before he's tripped over.
I would love a full animated movie of freemans mind. Seeing him slowly get more and more done. I love this animation its amazing.
I only just found this channel and sped watched the whole playlist, and OMG dude you have brought a whole new layer of comedy to Ross' already brilliant work. XD
Well done, sir. I so hope Ross has seen these and enjoyed what his playthrough has evolved into as well as we have.
I hope these videos blow up, brilliant stuff!
Fantastic animated! The 3d is great! Subbed and excited to see more!
Lmao that fmj reference was incredible
'Went back to this video as I needed a pick-me-up and I still can't go over how well animated this is. I especially love the movie references you've implemented which makes this animated short ever so funnier! Good work, really good work!
Thank you so much! I always appreciate you comments man. I've taken a break from animation, but I still have a big project that's mostly completed, so hopefully I can release it one of these days. Hope your doing well with your own work too!
@@codaboi138 No worries! And good to see you still around commenting! I've also taken a break from animating in SFM (to be honest I feel guilty for doing that sometimes...don't know why...), but in the meantime I'm learning Blender. I've got a few semi-animation projects uploaded on my channel and they've turned out really well! And I've got a 3d model project (which is nearly finished) which is turning out really well, and I'm considering in using that project into a slightly bigger animation project! 'Very looking forward to getting those done soon!
@@m.sharif_3d @Doctorus Prime same here, it's why i haven't posted any more progress updates or wip's, cuz I feel the urge to just hide haha. Sadly can't force ot either, when it's done, it's done I suppose. That's awesome! 3d modeling is a great skill to pick up! Hope it all goes well for you.
@@codaboi138 It is going well, actually! The 3d model, im working on is nearly done, I just need to make a turntable animation of it. After that, Ive a small animation project for that 3d model. Hint: They're giant pepperpots of hatred! 🤣
Bro, by giving those soldiers some lines of dialogue, you humanized them. Now I feel bad got them lol
awesome job btw, I want more :D
God I love that I just stumbled upon this! This part and your previous Freeman's Mind part with the tank and the sniper are so well animated and the visual comedy lands so fucking well that I actually laughed out loud at points which, when I'm on my own, I rarely do!
For the animation itself, some of the facial expressions in both videos land so well, like when Gordon is talking at the end or generally the small touches in his eye movements and eyebrows as they kind of accentuate his words. The animation itself, while at times feels a bit stiff or weightless, is so good, especially in the final fight in the last part where he just bursts open the door with a shotgun in his hand and that serial killer look on his face. Keep up the amazing work! You're definitely improving and are 100% onto something here!
I'm so sorry for tuning in late to this! YT didn't remind me, my notif settings are broken! Anyway, the animation is superb! I love how you animated the mouth moving slightly to the sides, to emphasise Freeman's rambling. I also love the Transformers reference you've made and the Full Metal Jacket reference too. Really superb animation!
No worries :D YT is wack sometimes Haha. Thank you, glad you caught both references there. And Thanks for the compliments and support as always :p
Just discovered your channel and goddamn I wish you animated the whole series
Underrated. Really underrated
I keep coming back to this and I adore the details in how everyone handles their weapons, the recoil Freeman feels everytime he fires, the way that one soldier had to hold his M60 because it's that heavy, but my personal favorite gotta be Freeman releasing the bolt on the MP5 as he comes across the HECU
I loved this one!
Haha, awesome video! Great use of Full Metal Jacket as well.
Thank you!
