- Finally finished it!
I just needed one more month.
Clearly this video is way too late for the competition that ended more than two weeks ago. But hey, why waste all the effort put into this by putting it on the shelf, right?
Using a combination of Stop-Motion Animation and After Effects, this music video was possible. (Special thanks again to my mother for creating the costume for my puppet.)
Hope you guys enjoy this video as much as I have enjoyed making it.
Thanks again for all the awesome comments on the unfinished version of this video. Hope it was worth the wait to see the final product.
Also thanks for Valve for holding this competition (though I didn't get to enter my finished entry) to allow me to be inspired to create this video. Continue to make awesome games guys! (Like they're ever gonna read this...)

Oops almost forgot this video is 10 years old now.
For whoever still watches this every now and then, thank you for keeping this video in your thoughts!
Stay safe, keep up with your health, it’s caring to get yourself vaccinated, masks are worthwhile minor inconveniences since it keeps you and others around you safe from most pathogens, and it’s never too late to allow your brain to think / learn about something new.
Thanks for reading and be gentle on yourself if need be.
Hey, thanks for the kind sentiments! Same to you, too! Stay safe and stay well!
holy crap, three days ago! A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
It's happy to see yourself doing well.
Ye
Thanks man, I hope the best for you too! this song meant a lot to me a long time ago
it's so crazy to think though that doug rattmann is the ONLY reason why you are even playing the game. chell wouldn't have been tested had he not swapped the files and portal 2 wouldn't have happened had he not hit the button.
I wonder what would’ve happened if the turret that shot his leg wasn’t there...
Anonymous he would probably not “get some rest” as he said in his comic, which will increase his chances of living
0xVENx0 does the thing he sleep in make him live in portal 2 because I know portal 1 and 2 have a 50,000 year difference.
@@At0m1c_At0m Pretty sure he's dead. He got shot in the leg, with nothing to tend to the wound. That means he probably bled to death.
Snazzy Jovial Wyrm remember turrets shoot the entire round including the casing and less deadly but shoots a lot more bullet each round
This song gives me the feels too many times.
My pants will cheer you up.
Pictures of Doug ratman I thought he was a scientist by the Aperture Science plug neurotoxin I called it I like a companion cube I like turtles more weather for tomorrow
Does it still trouble your mind the way it troubles mine?
I know I'm 12 years late but I just wanted to say that this is an absolute masterpiece, undoubtably.
So tru
fr me too
Better late than never, right? I knew Portal was trending on the internet because of the Portal gun. But since I never got allowed to play fps games, I never had the chance to play it.
2021, I finally play 1 & 2. one of the best games ever still imo. And all that starts because of the Wheatley crab meme...
I remember finding this room during my second play through and just sitting there for a few minutes listening to this song and contemplating the state of Portal's world.
I also listened to it on repeat while reading Lab Rat. Moving stuff.
I was speedrunning the game, and I saw the room, and thought, I’ll just look in there later, I wish I abandoned the run there to just sit and listen
Considering Portal takes place in the Half Life universe, yeah the state of the world is pretty bad. That wheat field might’ve been the last patch of any life on the entire planet.
It would be really surprising if valve added easter egg where you noclip outside when you wake up in the sleeping chamber, You can see a old hallway with dried blood leading to the shutted door, With disabled, Rusty turret
that would be awesome
***** In comic he had to make choice to go right and go left. But he did wrong. And in reality you can't just take few hits and be fine and push turret from behind. People that never experienced gun shot will die because of shock even with small pistol shot at their arm
+BJ SPADER
Everyone doesnt die of shock.
+SepticGaming SP (Jin) the turrets shoot with a spring mechanism, including the shell casing, meaning they are practically hitting you with a slingshot. Watch the turrets trailer for Portal 2 and you'll see what I mean.

WHeatley says "I made all the sacrifice to get here"
but lab rat made lots of sacrifice
wheatley is rattman confirmed?!!1?1?1!?1?
When I was a kid around 7 years ago, my older brother introduced me to this song and it became one of my favourites. I come back to this song once or twice a year
You still there man?
This song is good when you want to listen to something calm and being alone thinking about life in the night like a tired man who wishes for a peace of mind
My brother also showed me this animation when I was a kid.
I'm not gonna lie.
This made me cry.
Portal is so... freaking... amazing.
Me too dude, me too 😢
Years later, this still makes me cry,
♪ nooooooot gonnaaaaa liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie...............

THIS SHOULD HAVE WON OH MY GOD ITS GOOD AF
Should have won what? Was this made for some sort of contest?
+Sir Newton Yep. Valve and The National ran a contest years ago. Another video won, though the content wasn't Portal related. It's a video of a sock puppet, try to google it.
+Sir Newton Valve had a music video competition back in 2011 but this was finished about two weeks too late to be entered
Read the description it said so
This is what pops up when you search the song on google. Nothing else comes first.
This always gives me the feels, when i discovered the radio i just took it with me and moving the mouse slowly until the song stopped like it was a companion cube
0:32 when it's 3:00am and your mom sees you eating the whole bag of shredded cheese
So true
that hits too close to home
I reckon if portal should ever be made into a movie it should either focus on the ratman or the life of Cave Johnson building up to the portal gun and glados. It would be boring watching Chell just do what you've already done
+Will Briant (Ihateyourshoes) Havent we learned from Super mario and doom that its bad to make a movie about a video game?
Gabriel myers yeah good point, except they were drunk when they made that for a lot of the time (no joke). They're already making a portal/half life movie co directed by JJ Abrahms. I hope it won't fail
Will Briant If it ever comes out imma pay 1,000,000 bucks to see it
(And i know thats impossible)
+Will Briant (Ihateyourshoes) I'm pretty sure they plan to tie in the portal/half life 3 games for the same year. However I also think they were waiting for the half life 3 hype to blow over first, too much hype equals dissapointment on release of games/movies. Oh and since were here... HL3 confirmed!!! XD
Sonic movie and pokémon detective pikachu were good, I understand that this was years ago 😅

Good to see people still care for this song
Mvp
Me and rattman could relate somehow, I just don’t know... he got sucker’s luck by being trapped, I got sucker’s luck by being trapped as an AI and being killed, also being shocked when I started to actually like humans.
The community test chamber "Portal Unto Dawn 3" lets you escape and uses this song. It's incredibly peaceful and bittersweet in that context, and it's always what I think of. I recommend.
i remember when portal 2 came out i was so excited to play. me and my dad and bro and would watch each other play and help each other and my dad loved this song he would cry to it and he just passed away like a week ago and i just remembered this song and im sobbing it feels so real
Passed 9 years and still
I love IT. I have feelings 2007-2015 YT creators were more....creative about content etc and
also Good job
I.. I have no words.
This might be the most amazing thing I have seen.
Thank you for creating this piece of beauty.

I found the little room where this song is playing!
I found it too.
Same
Oh I was wondering where did i heard this music before now I remember
by the way, according to unofficial data, this song was played in the comic ending of portal 2, like when many endings were planned, in the ending chell opened a portal on the moon and died of suffocation in a vacuum after this song would play..
crazy to think that this music video was so good valve decided to make two games based around it
I miss the past few years I hope you all og gamer out there stay will
столько времени прошло, а этот клип с этой песней из памяти так и не ушли, приятно конечно иногда переслушать и пересмотреть такие шедевры уже прошлого десяти летия...
I can't believe when I watched this as a kid I got so scared of taking out the trash at night thinking clay doug ratman would attack me
About two hundred years later-
"Hello! Is anyone there? Are you gonna open the door anytime soon? Hello?"
Actualy its just 20 years later I think.
Fezdalek Abraian Soooooooooo...Rattmann's copse was sitting there for 20 years???
***** There is a high chance that he did die during the 20 year time skip. He may have escaped but then, where would he go? As was mentioned in Portal 1, aperture labs is in a remote area.
But those could have been made any time during the 20 years or so passed. He may have died from starvation by the end of the time skip.
To anyone who sees this, the time skip was acctually somewhere in the range of 20,000 to 50,000 years
truly a masterpiece of memories and joy.
It is not perfect (especially live action Chell does not belong in my opinion). But you made something that game, comic and music alone were not able to do: you made me cry. Thank you.
Michał Kobus I felt the exact same way.
Michał Kobus its an artistic choice, i think it fits.
By having as little as possible from the game it dissosiates the story from the game and it becomes its own story, a stop motion chell figure would have been the second option but it would take some of the drama away, with a live action chell we can better feel rattmann's point of view, chell is the only thing real for him, shes hope, she bested glados, he couldnt just leave her behind when he escaped because he only escaped thanks to her. A live action chell means much more than just chell, it represents how rattmann sees chell. That and a blank faced gmod chell would have looked awful
@@IsaSaien -- I highly disagree. Either use all stop-motion, or all live-action - trying to mix the two really weirded me out and took me away from feeling immersed. Other than that, though, I could really tell that this was made with love and hard work, so this was still pretty great.
Jenya March I disagree with you. I think GsTSaien’s explanation is very good and makes sense.
I think they did that to represent how they never really cross paths. They live in their own almost sperate stories, never to meet properly
I'm watching this ten years later and the flinch I get when the bullet hits is still the same. So powerful.
I know I‘m 12 Years late but I have to say it.This is AMAZING!🤩
You did a really good Job with everything and you can be really proud of yourself👍
I watched this video maybe a week or two after it came out, and every so often I remember this song and think of this video. I finally came back to it and realized it's been 11 years. Thank you, this video is a core memory.
I heard this song before and when I played portal 2 and heard this song I started to cry cuz the song reminds me of all the people who have died on my family :( and in laying in my bed listening to this and I'm crying thanks for making me cry love ya
Thank you for this beautiful work. Late to the Portal world, but seeing what you and your mother creatred is simply incredible.
Thank you, Doug Rattman.
Nobody saying how Rattman looks like a cross between Flint and Tim Lockwood from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs?
...
Just me?
Now that I look, yea he does. Great observation
This is what probably inspired that movie
Hard to believe that this came out when I was still in school.. Man, do the years fly by.
Despite the age, this is still an absolutely charming and amazing piece of artwork. You can see the love, passion, and creativity, even to this day. It's still gorgeous, over a decade later, and the fact it still gets views just reminds me of how passionate the Portal community can be.. Even if Valve will probably not be releasing another mainline Portal any time soon.
Well, we've all been Chell for a while so... thank you, thank you so much Ratman
Man. This was the first time I've ever heard or seen this, and with my love for the series, this hits home hard.
this video was a part of my childhood.
I come back after all this time to relive my childhood :) love this
If you think about the song from GLaDOS’s perspective, which I’m fairly certain it’s supposed to be from, it just sounds petty. It’s kind of fitting honestly, the song is emotional and gives the listener a feeling of sadness, but if you pay attention to the lyrics it’s just a slightly more aggressive version of “Still Alive” less passive aggressive, and more just normal aggressive.
GLaDOS sounds annoyed more than anything, and she’s attempting to shame you for your choice. It works regardless of who it’s directed towards, be it Chell or Rattman, they both fought against her, and in a way they both won. It’s the “long sleep or the “long sleep”” as it were. I hope we one day get more information on Doug, he seems like an interesting guy, but I would rather his fate be left ambiguous, the man fought hard, he should rest.
Thank you for keeping this song alive. It's been hitting me really hard lately..
I appreciate you..
Man this gave nostalgia
it's been 11 years...and i finally see this. thank you youtube. may this video be blessed within others recommended boxes. good work has been done here
Its been a while since i listened to this.. 9-10 years now.. thank you
Love how this is based on the Lab Rat comic! Nice job!
Yeah
Nine, almost ten years later, and this is still a classic
From what I have seen they has only been positive feed back on this and I agree this is a brill song and animation this has been my favourite story line game since I was 8 years old great game song and animation well done for making this !!
The mixed media effect is just genius
It's 2022 and I'm still crying
4 years later I rewatched this masterpiece...
I still can’t understand how VALVe managed to create such a magnificent universe...
Best song ever. I've been listening to this song for years

Suddenly found myself wanting to come watch this video again, didn't even realize it was 10 years old! I remember watching this for the first time so many years ago and it's still an amazing work today. Rattmann's gotta be my favorite Portal character, wish we had more of him tbh.
LOL You are the first person I have ever seen on RUclips putting parents in the end credit!!
You made this yourself? It fits the song perfectly good work
i noticed a few people are liking my comment well, dont just like the comment! write your own feelings about the vid
Well... It's awesome, what can i say, you basicly already said everything that needed to be said
well at least you tried to write your feelings thxs for trying
true
Well A for effort
gives me goosebumps
have some kind of difficulty watching that kind of stuff
like a shared sadness, hard to explain

He is.

But it is someone else's:

2:41 and when u loose it
I return to this because it’s one of those few examples of blending mediums extremely well.
The contrasting in-game engine to the stop motion clay really sells the mental disconnection between Doug and the rest of the story while also playing right into it…
Portal can be so complex yet so simple which to me will always be the main attraction to the IP
I cried after 5 seconds of the video
this song popped up in my head when a girl who I was friends with on steam disappeared : (
so did she go on vacation?
***** no I can't find her steam profile and it's not in my friends list
+Hayden Franco I know that feel bro, back in 2012 when I played tf2 I used to play with this dude and his sister, we never met in real life, just steam friends. Once playing, I thought he was so rich, he had a white bills hat ( Which was like 8 keys back then, it was considered rich). He and I were some of the best friends, his sister was too. As 1 year past, after summer break, we stopped talking after Christmas, during the period of Christmas my dream was to be better than him, stupid I was, I downloaded LMAOBOX. I never got to use it but I got banned because of valve finding it in my system. Being vacc banned. I did cry trying to look for them in my friends list to tell them that we couldn't play together unless gmod. But I couldn't find them. I was panicked, worried, I tried to find them all over steam, no use. They never left a message saying goodbye to me, I couldn't find them on steam. There names was " Nin CHEEZE US" and " Poptart Kitty". I was depressed. I avoided steam for a long time. Then I came back, made a new account and still have lots of fun, till this day, I still try and find hope in finding my lost lost best friends.
+Nexus Prime the same happened to me I was playing tf2 and met someone called "Neo-Nyte" we played for a long time but it stopped all of the sudden then I went to send her an invite to play tf2 but she was gone I went to her steam group but she was gone and people started leaving but I stayed I was so sad I just sat there and stared at my friend list
Hayden Franco
You feel Empty. Dont ya?
This song is seriously beautiful. I'm so GlaD I found the radio on the den on my first time playing Portal2, I just had to wait until it ended to finally pass through the emancipation grill and go to the next level..
I beat Portal 2 again last night. This video seriously made me cry. It's really well done!
Hey 14 year-old me. You didn't know that you'd have Stage IV cancer at age 23. You didn't know you'd lose so many family members too young. You didn't know you'd go through so much more than that. You didn't know just how scary and bad the world would get.
But I still love this video.
Hey 34 year-old me. I don't know if you exist. I suspect you don't. But I hope we did something good. Something impactful.
2:28 that companion cube looks delicious.
I remember watching this ten years ago... I had a tumultuous childhood... And in the end this video helped me enormously, I thank you from the bottom of my heart
3:26 I was like JUST JUMP!
(who else read the comic before finding this)
I can't stop imagining me living in a giant underground science facility with the only sign of civilisation being one woman that you cannot reach. You must begin to go mad and.....I guess that's why Doug talks to his companion cube.
some spectulize that doug had these pills that made it so he couldn't here the companion cube because in the first portal GladOS says "if u here the companion cube start to speak disregard it"
or something like that
Jojomcfobo Mcflowbo There's an entire comic talking about him.
@@Razuel I thought the pills were his schizophrenia medication, and that's why he couldn't hear the cube once he took them
I guess that’s true, she was the only sign of life. I am mentally and physically bleeding out and dieing ever so slowly, you just can’t see it. So I am not alive, I am dying.

I still love this video so much, and RUclips often shows it recommended. This is such a passionate creation, and if Valve ever produces a 3rd Portal, or another game in addition to the HL universe, this would be an amazing easter egg to see on a console somewhere.
They put it in portal 2. In one of the first lazer test chambers on a radio.
That’s how i’m here 😅

This is art.
I love it dude! you have tons of talent.
nice introducing stop motion with practical acting and some in game assets too it really makes the remake of the comic look good
Still holds up well today, just like the game.
Nostalgia for me
Смотрел это видео когда было написано что оно было выпущено 5 лет назад, теперь уже 13. Как быстро летит время.
One of my favourite videos on youtube. By no means is this perfect, but it has so much meaning behind it. Imo this should be remade in 2019 :))
He knew he could of just escaped but he saved chell that was just so kind
I just rediscovered this video 10 years after (I started replaying portal 2 for the second time since launch) and it hits jus like the first time. Man I love the portal games! They don't do games like these anymore 😥
R.I.P "Doug rattman. Died a hero rest in peace..."

+Annie Trinity i don't really like this video
I'd be lying if I acted like I was interested in why. My point is that actively disliking it enough to downvote means you are impossible to please.
I can't describe how much I love this fucking song, it relaxes me too much and whenever I play portal 2 and I get to the part where they are playing this song I stay there listening to it hehehe
Portal 3's main character should be doug rattman and through the game and it's 20 chapters, this happens,
Doug was hired as a Aperture Science employee, for Cave Johnson( his uncle ) and the game changes dates every chapter, so GLaDOS is built and tested for the second chapter, doug survived the gas chamber made by the monster, so the chapters go on, doug survives in the walls of Aperture where GLaDOS can't see him. And at the end, he goes up to Chell and sacrifices himself for her, with a bottle of pills for $9.99
I'm sure he could have ran behind the turret to flip it or something
Plushie Studios Use the companion cube as a shield?
But the companion cube is his friend!
Easter Lagger lmao cubes are undestroyable
I literally ran through a chamber full of turrets with a cube infront of me and I wasnt even hit
Its not a cube, its The Cube, the Companion Cube. She even talks to Doug. Would you use someone you love AND talks to you as a shield? You monster
Paulo Santana I think the cube is probably easier to hold with a portal gun.
I think Doug knows that we are watching him because right at the beginning he stops drawing and looks directly at the camera looking surprised.
Uhh, in the comic he doesn't die there, he crawls back to the relaxation vault. Other than that, Amazing!!!
