INSECURITY [SFM]

Barney Calhoun, hired as a security agent at Black Mesa Research Facility in New Mexico, is going at work like usual. Except that this day won't be like the others.
I made this shortfilm on SFM based on Half-Life Blue Shift as nobody ever did an animation focused on Barney when he was working for Black Mesa's security. It was an opportunity to realise a work for all who consider Blue Shift as a wonderful Half-Life expansion. Barney deserves his own film too!
I couldn't imagine finishing that titanic life project after one year and seven months of work, and it's thanks to your comments and the incredible view count on INCOMING [SFM] that INSECURITY can see the light of day. Without you, that project would never exists, and I thank all of you very much ❤️
I keep continue to get SFM animations on Half-Life Expansions.

[@Mr.Ambrose_Dyer_Armitage_Esq.]

You ever worked security? Sometimes forcing a smirk or laughing spontaneously at nothing at all is all one can do you get through a shift. You need a _"I'm going to eat shit today and not only will I like it, I'll thank my superior and ask for second helpings!"_ kind of attitude. Barney's better than most guards I've met though; the negative ones tend to eat optimists like him alive.

I love how well this sells Black Mesa as a setting. It’s a city sized facility full of thousands of employees, and places to accommodate them.

The starting point did feel rough, and there was some minor clippings. But the moment I saw the cinematic finishing of the whole thing. I was just amazed how they made Mister Barney actually examine the whole thing. The way he just stared as it all went in vain, with him just being stunned right before getting ready for impact. It doesn't feel like SFM, this whole thing is pushed way further than anomalous materials. The dudes who made this have way too much time in their hands. 10/10 best SFM I have ever seen.

GOD DAMN, THIS IS GOOD, only problems I see is flickering at 13:11, The Source 2 Gordon and Gman look very out of place, with everything being Source 1, and the use of the old compressed HL1 voices. (There is a full audio remaster made by a person called senn, you could ask them for permission for use, maybe.) Overall, it's perfect 8.5/10 I want moar

[@RedBarsik1997]

Totally agree about the models. It's kinda confusing that no one used Gordon's head from HL2: Survivor (even mod developers), despite the fact it's official Source model too. The only videos that utilized that head were two animated versions of Freeman's Mind moments, if I'm not wrong (and I saw one on this channel as well).

​@@RedBarsik1997the funniest thing is that the Survivor Gordon model was the only official one before the Alyx model and it wasn't even made by Valve.

I think one of the greatest things about Valve games is just how much a lot of the VAs love getting involved with the fans. It's so surreal for me to see all these VA's like the gang from TF2, or even Harry Robins, Mike Shapiro, and Lani Minella reprising their roles for fan made mods, animations, and even live action adaptations.
