Half-Life: Live action film

[@ijduncan]

Whenever I need cheering up I come of all places to the KZbin comments to read the amazing fan comments. Thanks all for watching and commenting!

[@rpersen]

You should be proud, your work is freakin’ amazing. The acting and effects are top notch. Best regards from Norway!

[@maniacmattmtl]

Thank you for this! I enjoyed this immensly.

[@jebtalks1152]

Thank you for all your hard work after all these years!! Always looking forward to more of your films ❤

[@Fremek]

Good job! Next episode when?

[@ava_ava_ava_ava_ava]

You did amazingly directing this, it's all on you!

[@osuhog.2008]

this concept has mountains of potential, i honestly have no idea why a larger studio hasn't taken this up before regardless, very good mr doonkan

[@elithris]

a half-life movie was actually in the works at one point, but we don't know if it's still going on- bad robot is the company in charge and was making a portal movie too

[@CorporalAugust]

No, this has limitless potential.

[@SectorCTestLabs]

@@CorporalAugust Quite a nasty piece of work, you managed over there. I am impressed

[@TheAngryOnion]

​@@elithrisback around 2004, when I was in high school, I actually emailed valve. Gabe responded and said that were toying with the idea, but didn't couldn't come up with anything that would be good. I don't remember verbatim.

[@norso]

I wish valve funded this so we could see a full 1 hour movie

[@MonsterJuiced]

Well y'know.. JJ Abrams was supposed to be working on something.

[@fragglefknrock7568]

You should send in a few million and get a kickstart

[@norso]

@@fragglefknrock7568 I barely even have £3 how am i gonna send in millions :(

[@Lolbit308_2]

That would be amazing I would watch it over and over

[@te_rt]

@@MonsterJuiced cancelled, they're working on a portal film instead

[@littlepauls]

Let’s start a petition to get valve to fund a full half life movie

[@ijduncan]

please do

[@Faterpillar]

i love your work this is some masterpiece lvl too bad many dont know about this

[@WillMcConnell-hv4xd]

Ya do we can have an actual half life 2 movie

[@citycowboy702]

Or maybe finish the cliffhanger that Valve started by making Half Life 3! It's not as if they haven't had time ... TIME, Mr Freeman, is an asset that only VALVE could overlook. 😅

[@Just__Garbage]

My god but, after all these years i still think these are the greatest fan films ever made, you're work is indescribable, for it has limitless potential.

[@ijduncan]

wow. Thanks!

[@RandomValveSimp]

2:08 Ah yes Storm Trooper aim From The H.E.C.U

[@andlinux]

KZbin algorithm is doing it's job after 1 year :) Well made!

[@Itheil]

the guy who plays gordon is perfect

[@TheKoppany69]

also the voice acting...

[@SNOUPS4]

I always found the acting so great in this movie, especially Gordon's, and to a lesser extent the female scientist's which was also particularly great, and the guard's and G-man's! On another, I think I have never seen more pop up ads on a youtube video haha

The g man scene was phenomenal

[@ijduncan]

Thanks!

[@doctorlettuce]

We need a part 3! Please do not pull a Valve and make us wait for 13 years!

[@jasperzanovich2504]

Well, it already has been 10 years since Episode 1.

[@glitchbread5724]

They cant its lore acurate (i think its because valve dosent make a 3rd game)

[@924syn]

The guard, definitely peak example of what a black mesa guard should be. Fast on their feet, and vigilant. Though no one's perfect, i believe the security guard and how its portrayed was most certainly great

[@ijduncan]

Thanks he was a close friend and great actor.

[@924syn]

@@ijduncan i low key forgot i left this comment here lmao, yeah he is definitely! I have hope for you and future films you make!

[@ВладимирЗа-щ9о]

91 thousand views in a year? Where is the KZbin algorithm looking? Millions should have seen this movie! I'm shocked, absolutely all fans or those who played HL should see this! Huge respect to you, those who starred and those who did the filming and graphics. I really hope that the world will see the full-length film! I was looking for copper, but found gold! Thank you again for your work, I wish you many views and funding! From Russia with love!

[@ijduncan]

Thanks so much!

[@Batdiangelo]

God I love the freeman chronicles! So glad to see this! Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@ijduncan]

Glad you like them!

[@minchy83]

How have I never known about this?!? This is excellent!

[@ijduncan]

Thanks!

[@SnakierElm62]

10:45 you can see G Man

[@cornishpasty7853]

this movie is honestly incredible. i love the effects and the action, especially since no one else is doing this.

[@ijduncan]

Thanks!

[@Nabulis_]

I LOVE how they implement the gman sightings in this. The fact he can just be seen between cuts and in the backgrounds is AMAZING! You have created a masterpiece of art.

[@ijduncan]

Thanks!

[@awesomeguy2878]

you missed a chance for the scientist at around 6 to yell DONT SHOOT IM WITH THE SCIENCE TEAM

[@ijduncan]

Yes a missed opportunity

Wow, thank you!

[@Matt54315]

Excellent 👏 only just popped up in my feed. This needs way more recognition, extremely well done better than alot of B movies with bigger budgets.

Remember watching this a long time ago, still never gets old

Cheers

[@gongarcia4071]

yayyyyy! I hoped for it to be the final movie, but I still have hopes for it.

Literally us (half life fans) gonna fund you if you wish so that we can see more of these

I always find myself coming back to rewatch this masterpiece. This is truly a fine work.

[@ijduncan]

Praise indeed. Thanks!

[@WeePandas]

Really really good. I hope a full movie will be possible one day.

[@ijduncan]

thanks!

[@hubertthegrand4353]

i just rewatched the og episodes yesterday and i wake up to this

[@drisaackleiner1]

Insane that this only has 44k views, this is incrediBle

[@ijduncan]

Thanks

[@Theodeloro]

The Freeman's flashlight detail is something that prove they really paid attention to the game for doing this

[@niagarawarrior9623]

This is really, really well done. I think we might be on the dawn of more video game based movies / series, and this is certainly one i would watch. Keep up the great work!

[@ijduncan]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Literally_a_X]

Man this felt better than more than half of the hour long movies I've watched. Also noticed a detail aboyt the F key. That was totally a great detail. Hope you can keep going!

[@ijduncan]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Cptslow87]

This is amazing, I really enjoyed watching this. And I love how real the suit looks. And you guys made it look like a proper movie as well. Would love to see more half-life movies like this

[@ijduncan]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@agentmethod]

well holy shit.... this... was incredible. the attention to details of the gameplay and the way things looked,... very impressive. clearly this person was a fan of the game. wow. good shit.

[@ChristophGranz]

As a Half Life fan I am stunned and speechless. This is so awesome made and done like a pro! I like the HEV suite very much.

[@ijduncan]

thanks!

[@StevenChad117]

Fantastic job plus a continuing effort to keep the ide alive

[@Purplepancake_8613]

dude I'm a huge half life fan and all of the references in this, the flashlight sound on Gordon's suit, the hl2 music, the valve intro, all of the zombies and the hl1 noises. It's a fahcking masterpiece!

[@ijduncan]

Thanks!

[@CommanderNoob]

An absolutely phenomenal piece of media made by yet another one of the countless fans impacted by Valve's work. You should be proud of this, Mr. Duncan. Cheers to your future ventures, and here's to this becoming a fully fledged feature film.

[@ijduncan]

thanks for taking the time to say that!

[@thecoolzguy832]

This deserve million views

[@ijduncan]

thanks

[@EnclaveSOC-102]

Would love to see a video for the bloopers of this if possible. I'm sure there are plenty of funny moments that happened during filming that many of us would get a kick out of seeing them.

[@RlifeSolutions]

Hey Ian just watched this vid , I think one of the best part of the Half Life series which is available here, Keep the hard work man, this will be a very successful videos from your side,,... I love this a lot, Continue this series mate..

[@ijduncan]

thanks!

[@Mrgloobintav]

HOLY SHIT BRO this deserved more views man! I loved this movie bro i need more

Hey, this was unexpected.

[@nosh62]

Amazing work, Duncan! I just hope you aren't sad that this series isn't much famous, 'cause this is seriously the best fan movie I've seen

[@ijduncan]

Cheers. Means a lot.

[@vly4885]

This stuff should get a million views, this is a literal movie, way too underated

[@ijduncan]

Thakns!

[@Veerdook]

4:50 HALF LIFE DIOLOG!!! This was a conversation that 2 grunts had in half life, I don’t know the exact chapter but near when you launch the rocket

[@ijduncan]

Yep

[@ijduncan]

And if you notice the names of the two soldiers make the full name of the writer. Little hat tip to him.

[@online_degenerate]

i hope this video blows up i love it

Just found you out and gotta say you make better stuff than some big film makers. Subscribed and hope you get more support.

[@sylumgone]

Amazing piece of media. I do have to say that the g man sounds more like breen

[@ijduncan]

Thanks!

[@neuralglitch]

This is fantastic! I wish there could be a full length movie. I loved this game back when it came out.

[@BertGrimm]

Truly an incredible work of art! Best of all time.

[@ijduncan]

Thanks Bert!

[@mayurchoubeyrealitycreator]

This film justifies Gorden Freeman's silence! After 25 years, I could under-stand now. I'm 35.

[@unknown_player9498]

i liked the part where gordon said: Together! We are Halflife!

[@MrsGordonFreeman]

Bravo!! The attention to detail here is incredible, from the costumes down to the dialogue between marines. This really needs to be several full length movies or an ongoing series! I'm just sad it took me this long to discover your channel! I commend you for your efforts, I'll definitely be sharing this with my friends.

[@ijduncan]

Thanks!

[@breadloaf176]

i like how accurate it is how freeman just makes a crow bar appear in his hand from no where lol

[@mrdarkshoe]

It would be insanity if Mr Duncan made a sequel to this 20 years after the original. "Rise and shine, Mr Freeman..."

[@ijduncan]

I wish!

[@mrdarkshoe]

@ Whats up dude! You did an amazing job with this, it’s genuinely awesome and I just hope you know how much the Half Life community raves about this project to this day. Keep on truckin bro!

[@northwestrepair]

So much effort, so little payback. 100K views instead of 100 million as expected. Makes me wonder.

[@KT.552]

This is masterpiece, very underrated masterpiece.

As one of the big fans of the Half-Life series, I nominate this The Best Fan-Made Series Of 2023.

[@ramikuvaja]

So much better grenade physics than in the game

is the security guard's gun prop the BT&T ASG AEG MP5??

[@Yackass]

I appreciate you doing a remake instead of the 3rd episode.

[@danmoar94]

I come back after like a decade and I only just now see there was a second episode?! I'm so glad I decided to look up enter the freeman again for nostalgia's sake and found the rest too. These films are so fun! Everyone involved fuckin CRUSHED it!

[@ijduncan]

Thanks!

[@couchmaster3773]

The casting of Freeman is great, dude looks just like him.

[@SSSavanti]

yes he is

[@vladislavkazimir4312]

nice work. warming nostalgia, again

[@ijduncan]

*"The world is ending... and I feel... nothing"* That's literally me. Funny how nowdays we see Gordon as a traumatized character, but back in the day, everyone was sure that he was a psycho

[@AlteFore]

This series is incredible! It would be amazing to see one of these based on opposing force or blue shift. The possibilities of a half-life film based on Adrian Shephard or Barney Calhouns story are endless.

[@IdRadical]

This is amazing. I need more 😅

[@ENI_Omega]

I don't mean to nitpick, but an old-men for scientists would've really sold the mood

[@Stickysaltbread]

May I say if there will ever be a hollywood Half Life Walton Goggins would make a pretty good GMan

[@harrisWatari2009]

"The world is ending..and i feel... *n o t h i n g* " the phrase that best sums up gordon after the black mesa incident.

[@ijduncan]

Exactly!

[@EtHaN198718]

excelently performed. great HEV Suit. that gman looks like dracula , too damn palid

[@kumi6797]

personal theory: this is the stasis and it's gman training him (and in the end it's when half life 2 starts)

[@h-1337]

Ian, You smell dat? It's freedom.

[@theseptembersessions_music]

Full movie needed. But fan made. No compromises.

[@Zz0rp2008]

I would pay 100$ for an official movie.

I remember watching this back in like 2014, I think, can't believe it's been 9 years. Lots of stuff happened related to half-life since then, from cool mods to Valve somehow releasing a Half-Life game.

[@BrodiLais]

I know this won't probably be continued by the bait that third parts don't exist in valve But really i wanna see more of this, i've been waiting for 4 years now
