3:06 - Benry has NO RIGHT making me feel so sad for him!!! Honestly, whoever animated him in this bit is my favorite of the lot. There's so much raw emotion in his movements, his expression, and the actual visuals themselves are stellar. The Black Mesa Sweet-Voice™ as ghostly blue orbs? His mouth and body distorting into his unknowable and inhuman eldritch form as he cries out in sorrow? *chills*
Favorite moment from each animator: 0:19 Bubby's shrug on "I don't know" 0:22 Awesome first person perspective and Tommy's soda 0:27 Props to Doughguts for making me sympathize with Benrey 0:41 Can we just take a moment to appreciate how well Cosmitasia did on the rotating perspective AND the lip sync? 0:51 RingsNRoses had a bunch of sick transitions but this was my favorite 0:56 Love this whole section but the expression work on Tommy here fills me with joy 1:03 The beat sync here is SO satisfying 1:14 "Look, we all have secrets" 1:16 Gordon wobble 1:23 The melody sync on the opening eyes 1:35 The expression and zoom coordination with the music (Benrey's expression could instill fear in the mightiest of foes) 1:37 Bubby, why you so hecking cute? 1:43 Not only did Deirara coordinate with the melody, but also dealt with the changing perspective due to the moving camera excellently 1:58 "WOOF!" (Sunkist is adorable) 2:09 Don't mess with the Science Team 2:12 Benrey's subtle head turn 2:17 I love this whole section (especially the expression work) but Bubby in his tube at 2:39 was some impressive shading 2:51 The expression and lip sync here is so satisfying 2:59 The lighting here is SO cool 3:05 Holy crap this section is amazing. G-man appearing behind Tommy bout gave me goosebumps 3:16 Benrey hanging out with his psn friends 3:24 Benrey's missing texture eyes 3:25 This section's awesome but I'd just like to point out Gordon's luxurious locks and Coomer's "Hollow Tones" tattoo 3:38 Coomers "hi". This whole section had me super nostalgic 3:47 Amazing artwork, love the detail with the dilating pupil at 3:50 Sorry for the essay of a comment. Love this MAP everyone did so well! I was grinning like a fool the whole time on my first watch.
I'm relatively certain 3:24 is also referencing Benrey's passport which has his name labeled as "BENREYBENREYBENREYBENREYBE" and here it shows the same thing
"Its ok I-Im not human" For Real Tho were any of them human at all? - Benrey is a eldritch god - Tommy is G-mans son -Coomer has otherworldly powers and reality bending based on play coins -Bubby has powers too
Coomer is technically the only "Human" of the AI's. While his scripted dialouges and Playcoins implies he has these powers and such alongside Coomer Clones powering him. Coomer himself is mostly human with Cybernetic enhancements and abilites that are based around his role in the story by the game. Coomer himself is a Tutorial NPC, so it makes sense in his role for him to be able to to things in certain "hand holding" titles such as being able to skip puzzles, give you invincible powers to beat bosses, ETC. So TL;DR : Coomer himself is Powerless, it's the Cybernetics in him, alongside his powers as a Handholding Tutorial NPC that makes him Powerful
Bee and the animators were so good, really liked bees benreys because it showed a good designed horror element, I love the idea that he has more then 2 eyes when he’s in zen because it does makes sense when he says he’s not human
1:33 for some reason, I love this shot. The angle and placement of the characters turn the focus to Benrey who also stands out in terms of colors. How his skin is gray to the normal skin tones of the scientists. How the place is blue and the scientists are wearing bits of blue so that he blends in the background. It's the very thing about Benrey where he was supposed to not stand out but he does in a suspicious kind of way.
3:34 i love the idea of when everyone's attention is away/when no living thing that is able to comprehend the idea that gordon is there, coomer transports him to a black void, so they can talk privately.
Holy crap, it took me WAY too long to realize that Virginia's section at 2:17 was in a round. That's why the animated sections aren't the same length for all of them because it's coordinated with who's singing in the round and where they are in the verse. That's an amazingly cool detail that I somehow didn't notice, thank you Virginia Poole
WOW! I've been waiting for this for a while and am very impressed! The animation is really terrific, I especially loved some of the lip-syncing parts near the end! I also keep rewinding the 3:05 to 3:09 section over and over again... Am a little obsessed with those frames. Major props!
3:05 pains my heart :'(( Holy crap this turned out so amazing!! I was so hyped waiting for all the pieces to come together, and it was totally worth it! Everyone did such a freakin' amazing job
BRO I AM A DEPRESSED YOUNG ADULT AND THIS MAKES ME LIKE. MAYBE THE HAPPIEST IVE BEEN IN A LOOOONG TIME???!? this is so cool and creative and full of love to the original series and this song is so nostalgic ngghh g h- beautiful, honestly. it's a shame that i'm too late to party to participate in this kinda stuff, i would love to express my appreciation to hlvrai :') nevertheless, y'all did a great job, this is outstanding. thank you so much for this!
I love this animation a LOT, but one thing got me thinking: This animation wouldn't've happened without Aperture Science's discovery of how to create an interdimensional gateway. Seriously! :)
Can you imagine how terrifying it would be for the the player? They are just a pawn in some sort of AI plan that Benrey made, and all the AI are aware of what is happening. With quotes like "I'm not human" and "There's nothing there..". And all of the AI are personalized from the looks of it, they aren't normal, Tommy is a kid who has a god as his dad, and has a dog. Coomer is some sort of reality bending god. Bubby is pretty much the same as Gordon, as he is just a pawn of black mesa. Benrey is the true god and getting on his bad side either means death or something far far different. The player is just a pawn in Benrey's game and just wants to play HL1, but got a ruined copy of it, causing such lines to be said as "Alright, I'm ending the simulation" and such. This series is a masterpiece, taking something so obscure as HL1, and making a entirely new story out of it, everyone did a wonderful job on this.
I've been following this project for some months and HOLY HELL it did NOT disappoint!! This was amazing, so MANY creative animaters that were clearly passionate about the project and oh my gosh theres so MUCH to talk about This MAP was so impressive and amazing AAAAAAA
my favorite parts 0:22 i love the first person view 0:27 to 0:40 this entire part! 0:40 to 0:47 i absolutely love the animation here 0:57 i love the way tommy gets serious! "It's all instinct Mr. Freeman!" 0:59 idk why but i love this scene so much 1:02 LOVE the animation here also 1:23 i love the smoothness of the eyes opening 1:34 serious benrey! 1:38 i love how excited bubby is and then realizes theres nothing there 1:53 sunkist so fluffy! 2:04 i love benreys sinister black mesa sweet voice laugh 2:51 THE LIPSYNC 2:58 LOVE coomers scene here 3:06 I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT BENREYS ANIMATION HERE 3:28 benrey here is so cool 3:37 from here on made me so emotional EVERYONE DID AMAZING I JUST NEEDED TO PUT MY FAVORITES HERE OML
THIS WAS SO AWESOME EVERYBODY DID SO WELL!!!!!!💖💖 definitely worth the wait and it all looked so good hhhhhhhhh❤❤ I'm honoured to have worked on this with y'all!!
I just love the fact that the communitie thinks that Benrey as a sad and horrible story. He his just a glitch/entity that lives in a videogame, and loves to annoy Gordon lol.
This is my current favorite video on the entirety of RUclips. It's so well-synced, and the singing the characters do is synced too. You all did fantastic.
Woah. This was awesome. This was the first MAP I've ever waited for and heck it was worth it. So excited for the Escape MAP now. Ahhh all this artwork makes me want to attempt the art, toooo!
Oh my God, so many talented animators! There are so many MAPs that usually have 1 or 2 animators that are obviously starting off and so can't keep up with the quality of the rest, but I feel like this MAP has all of the animators doing their parts with flying colours!
EVERYONE DID SO WELL AAAAA,,, thank you so much for having me here, it was an honor to work alongside all these talented people, looking forward to seeing more of your maps in the future! 💕
Oh my god, HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THIS, THIS IS AMAZING, i would never think people would love that series so much to make A LITERAL MASTERPIECE LIKE THIS, well done man and to all other people that worked on this, i am genuinely surprised and shocked to see such an amazing work of art, really well done man, words just cant describe how great this animation is
This is actually absolutely beautiful oh my god I'm sobbing there is so much incredible, beautiful animation and talented animators here oh my god I'm in love
It wouldve fit more to use the male voice for the song, especially considering how his voice tone fits more but other than that this was awesome. It was incredibly well animated and I dont know how you organized this but you deserve way more subs and views for it. Congrats, it was very fun to watch and I couldnt take my eyes off. good job
I know this whole thing isnt meant to have a deeper meaning, but the whole "my enemy is invisible i dont know how to fight" i never saw benrey as an enemy in my mind, the gman is what came to mind. I like to imagine the reason why benrey has no real motive to do anything is because the gman manipulated him and his code to work as the bad guy the game needed, but him acting up the few times he did was him showing how he cares for gordan, even if he knows the role he must play. Also the one where bubby looks beyond the nothing when he uses the rocket just makes me think of the line he said when asked how he would act if he was in a game and all there was was black mesa "we'd kill everyone and take it over" bubby always knew, just like coomer, but pretended he didnt, cause ignorance is bliss. And i love the idea of the reason why you can see a skeleton in the background is cause benrey is abusing his power and his emotions to break the games logic, which is why when the game is over, you get one last message from coomer, cause benrey knows the truth and wants gordan/the player to keep his friends with him. Its a far stretch and really nothing was planned out, but the idea that all these characters knew (except tommy of course) about how they were just characters, but still went along for the ride cause of how much they cared for gordan is a very peaceful and nice idea. which is why i hope they make a sequel, and i hope the first moments that happen in it are gordan giving coomer and bubby a hug, as they say how they missed him.
God, the number of times I've looped this since finding it... I'm watching now in slow speed to better appreciate each frame, the pacing with the song, gaaaah, all of it! It's beautiful! You can see the love from everyone involved, and the entire video just fills me with such joy.
Holy WOW!! this is absolutely incredible!! So much amazing animation, all in one project! I'm so blown away by the tremendous talent on display here! Just....WOW
honestly i love all of you out there that continue to be part of doing AMVs and PMVs, it's really one of my favorite parts of the internet. i hope one day i can make something that inspires this sort of amazing fan work
I love this MAP dearly Come back to it a lot almost two years later :3 I especially love seeing all the different interpretations of the guys, Gordon being my favorite.
Animation- full of emotion, sorrow, action, and obvious signs of Benry going insane from being lonely Show- "LOOK GORDON! ROPES! WE CAN USE THESE TO HELP WI- HELLO GORDON!"
IM ACTUALLY LIKE. MENTALLY BURSTING I AM ASCENDING ALL OF THIS WAS SO GOOD AND COOL AND I JUST ABSOLUTELY ADORE SEEING SO MANY ARTISTS WORK FJSNDNNSNFN THIS WAS SO IMPRESSIVE OMFG AAAAAAAAAA
As someone else said,as tommy rhymes the sweet voice translation with the color of the orbs,the blue to purple orbs benrey throws up at 3:05 could mean”it’s not personal”seeing as he cries as it happens
English subtitles are now available on the video!
Pog first reply
There's hidden captions saying thanks to the artist's and everyone else very cool
Thank
Cool
What do u use to make animations?
3:06 - Benry has NO RIGHT making me feel so sad for him!!! Honestly, whoever animated him in this bit is my favorite of the lot. There's so much raw emotion in his movements, his expression, and the actual visuals themselves are stellar. The Black Mesa Sweet-Voice™ as ghostly blue orbs? His mouth and body distorting into his unknowable and inhuman eldritch form as he cries out in sorrow? *chills*
Benry is falling apart atom by atom the "liquid" coming off him is him destabilizing
One guy pointed out in a comment that blue to purple,due to the rhyming theme of the translation of sweet voice,could mean”it’s not personal”
@@Stanfordscienceman OW
Bro just wants his passport 💀
I love Benry
Going by Tommys Translation method, 3:05 would be... Blue to Purple means 'It's not personal.'
I can’t believe you’ve done this
*lies down on floor*
0:38 blue and red means it’s time for bed
@@Dummi_Doomi *snorrrrr mimimimimi*
As much as I love Gordon with curly hair, Gordon with Waynes hair at 3:26 is awsome.
Truly magnificent
Agreed
Sick as fuck, yeah.
he looks like moist critical
He's majestic as hell
Favorite moment from each animator:
0:19 Bubby's shrug on "I don't know"
0:22 Awesome first person perspective and Tommy's soda
0:27 Props to Doughguts for making me sympathize with Benrey
0:41 Can we just take a moment to appreciate how well Cosmitasia did on the rotating perspective AND the lip sync?
0:51 RingsNRoses had a bunch of sick transitions but this was my favorite
0:56 Love this whole section but the expression work on Tommy here fills me with joy
1:03 The beat sync here is SO satisfying
1:14 "Look, we all have secrets"
1:16 Gordon wobble
1:23 The melody sync on the opening eyes
1:35 The expression and zoom coordination with the music (Benrey's expression could instill fear in the mightiest of foes)
1:37 Bubby, why you so hecking cute?
1:43 Not only did Deirara coordinate with the melody, but also dealt with the changing perspective due to the moving camera excellently
1:58 "WOOF!" (Sunkist is adorable)
2:09 Don't mess with the Science Team
2:12 Benrey's subtle head turn
2:17 I love this whole section (especially the expression work) but Bubby in his tube at 2:39 was some impressive shading
2:51 The expression and lip sync here is so satisfying
2:59 The lighting here is SO cool
3:05 Holy crap this section is amazing. G-man appearing behind Tommy bout gave me goosebumps
3:16 Benrey hanging out with his psn friends
3:24 Benrey's missing texture eyes
3:25 This section's awesome but I'd just like to point out Gordon's luxurious locks and Coomer's "Hollow Tones" tattoo
3:38 Coomers "hi". This whole section had me super nostalgic
3:47 Amazing artwork, love the detail with the dilating pupil at 3:50
Sorry for the essay of a comment. Love this MAP everyone did so well! I was grinning like a fool the whole time on my first watch.
I totally agree but Benry at 3:29 deserves more love
Ok but actually thank you for this comment! You really helped me appreciate every scene in this more than I already did heh.
Goodbye Gordon
I'm relatively certain 3:24 is also referencing Benrey's passport which has his name labeled as
"BENREYBENREYBENREYBENREYBE" and here it shows the same thing
I would've never even noticed ANY of the details you pointed out!
"Its ok I-Im not human"
For Real Tho were any of them human at all?
- Benrey is a eldritch god
- Tommy is G-mans son
-Coomer has otherworldly powers and reality bending based on play coins
-Bubby has powers too
Wud aboud gordon
well isn't coomer a cyborg of some sort?
Ah yes: god, g-man’s son, play-coins, Bubby.
@@eliotmoon5321 I mean, gordon was really the only one who didn't die, plus he is basically the player.
Coomer is technically the only "Human" of the AI's.
While his scripted dialouges and Playcoins implies he has these powers and such alongside Coomer Clones powering him. Coomer himself is mostly human with Cybernetic enhancements and abilites that are based around his role in the story by the game. Coomer himself is a Tutorial NPC, so it makes sense in his role for him to be able to to things in certain "hand holding" titles such as being able to skip puzzles, give you invincible powers to beat bosses, ETC.
So TL;DR : Coomer himself is Powerless, it's the Cybernetics in him, alongside his powers as a Handholding Tutorial NPC that makes him Powerful
3:05-3:11 made me absolutely LOSE IT. really crazy good parts back to back. everyone did a super awesome job on this
Benrey just wanted the passport so bad bro 💀
Bee and the animators were so good, really liked bees benreys because it showed a good designed horror element, I love the idea that he has more then 2 eyes when he’s in zen because it does makes sense when he says he’s not human
what about the part right before that?? Why is no one talking about 02:59 , it's really good too!
Lmao i have no idea what fandom this is, but im glad youtube recommended it
Half Life but the AI is self aware go check it out! Funniest thing to come out of 2020!!!
_First time?_
same
*Half life has entered the chat*
GORDON LOOK OUT EXSPOSIVES!!!!!
1:36
"Look gordon"
"It says BLAST DONGER on the door"
LOOK GORDON! EXPLOSIVES! *BOOM*
@@hriotcthulhu3958 Hello gordon.
GORDON LOOK OUT! ALIENS 😡
1:33 for some reason, I love this shot. The angle and placement of the characters turn the focus to Benrey who also stands out in terms of colors.

I’ll be honest when I got to 3:10 I thought “hey! Gman is Tommy’s stand!”
Still a really cool artistic decision regardless.
Tommy have STANDO PAWAH
Tommy is the son of gman and so should have access to his father's power so in a way yes gman is Tommy's stand
"Please can I be colourful and free?"
"Tommy, he shot out a lot of blue, what does it mean?"
"That's a lot of blue..."
"It means *I hATE YOOOUU."*
Holy crap, it took me WAY too long to realize that Virginia's section at 2:17 was in a round.

It's going to premier in two days, but I know it's going to be awesome.
How is your comment older than the vid? I still dont understand that

I AM SO EXCITED HOLY HECK
24 HOURS LADS LASSES N LAINDIVIDUALS
Okay but 0:55, 1:30, 2:58, 3:06, and 3:26 were my favorite parts, like WOW I love them.
3:05-3:09 is SO AMAZING
1:04 SUNKIST IS STILL A PNG
I love this animation a LOT, but one thing got me thinking: This animation wouldn't've happened without Aperture Science's discovery of how to create an interdimensional gateway. Seriously! :)
god i love this so much, especially 3:04-3:09, all the animators for this project did such a good job!!!!
Loliponki did such a fantastic job with those 2 seconds. The poses for Coomer are very JoJo-esque and it hits right every time.
Can you imagine how terrifying it would be for the the player? They are just a pawn in some sort of AI plan that Benrey made, and all the AI are aware of what is happening. With quotes like "I'm not human" and "There's nothing there..". And all of the AI are personalized from the looks of it, they aren't normal, Tommy is a kid who has a god as his dad, and has a dog. Coomer is some sort of reality bending god. Bubby is pretty much the same as Gordon, as he is just a pawn of black mesa. Benrey is the true god and getting on his bad side either means death or something far far different.

This series is a masterpiece, taking something so obscure as HL1, and making a entirely new story out of it, everyone did a wonderful job on this.
i like how fandoms have collectively agree'd benry has like yellow/cyan eyes and sharp yellow teeth.
I've been following this project for some months and HOLY HELL it did NOT disappoint!! This was amazing, so MANY creative animaters that were clearly passionate about the project and oh my gosh theres so MUCH to talk about

Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, Mr Freeman.
It's..
It's amazing how the stumbling improv comedy that is HLVRAI has just SO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR A DEEP EMOTIONAL STORY
I love how they made this series look, much more serious and emotional than it actually is. But the plot is pretty engaging!
This makes it seem better then It was and makes benry look like not such a bad guy, but more a victim of the explosion
I just have to say this, of all the animations for HLVRAI fits the best, the emotions just bring out so much and I love it
I really hope Wayne sees this, it still amazes me, Awsome job everyone!

3:52 cool Gordon’s a Meta Runner now
oh my god this was soooo cool, everyone who worked on this did an amazing job!!
Everyone that worked on this is so talented
in the part in 2:17 -2:50 i like the part where tommy is like "this is fine" in act 3 like he's in denial of what is going on
This was AMAZING. Such good work from everyone involved, and ...
I remember how I waited for this map to be completed back then, really glad that RUclips recommended me it again
THE SOUL EATER REFRENCE THANK YOU
OUGGHHH THE ANGUISH IN 3:05
Ok my personal favorite of the video has to be 2:18 - 2:50. Idk why, it just so captivating, just seeing all of them evolve over the series.

GODDD THATS SO FUCKING GOOD!!! Y'ALL OUTDID YOURSELVES.... TOP NOTCH PERFORMANCE. BEAUTIFUL.
THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL, GOOD JOB!!
I love this MAP dearly Come back to it a lot almost two years later :3
I especially love seeing all the different interpretations of the guys, Gordon being my favorite.
Damn. This pandemic really got us making fandoms out of programmer challenges, huh? Regardless, I love this. This is amazing.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!! EVERYONE DID SUCH AMAZING WORK!!
Damn this had the whole discord acting up
Animation- full of emotion, sorrow, action, and obvious signs of Benry going insane from being lonely
Show- "LOOK GORDON! ROPES! WE CAN USE THESE TO HELP WI- HELLO GORDON!"
IM ACTUALLY LIKE. MENTALLY BURSTING I AM ASCENDING ALL OF THIS WAS SO GOOD AND COOL AND I JUST ABSOLUTELY ADORE SEEING SO MANY ARTISTS WORK FJSNDNNSNFN THIS WAS SO IMPRESSIVE OMFG AAAAAAAAAA
As someone else said,as tommy rhymes the sweet voice translation with the color of the orbs,the blue to purple orbs benrey throws up at 3:05 could mean”it’s not personal”seeing as he cries as it happens
Look, Gordon! An animated music video of our adventures! We can listen to this as we traverse pits!
