Freeman's Mind Animated| SNIPER!!! (SFM)

[@SeriousSacor]

Freeman's constantly deranged-looking expression matches Ross's voice perfectly

[@RichardMNixon-rt5lg]

If you've seen any of his on-camera appearances- he just kinda looks like that too.

[@Louis.7493]

he managed it perfectly!

[@Swordsoulreaver]

I've honestly never thought about how terrifying gordon must be to other people. Man's moving a mile-a-minute, blasting people and acting completely insane. He is literally dodging bullets sometimes, too.

[@SgtP4in]

God, I love the shotgun scene: between both the door kick and just everything to do with the shotgun: the smoke, the shells, the racking of the slide, everything. I also adore all the fast, agile movement, like the leap over the table, it feels perfect in representing the frantic, fast way Gordon moves. Also, very nice touch with the tank interior shot, and Freeman's muffled, mad shouting.

[@michaelmaage]

It really catches how crazy (and terrifying) he actually is. But given how insane the NPC's acts in HL2 (as shown in Freeman's Mind 2: Episode 16), he fits right in.

[@JamesTobiasStewart]

It kind of helps reconcile the knowledge that somewhere out there, Cave Johnson created perfect teleporter technology in the 50s and then never told anyone about it, even as his company faced bankruptcy.

[@Swordsoulreaver]

@@JamesTobiasStewart He'd rather take the technology to the grave than let black mesa or anybody else use it.

[@thedorgon9682]

These are constantly increasing in quality. I really enjoy the fact that Source 2 Freeman blends in a bit better with the Black Mesa soldier models, does feel more like he belongs in this world.

[@alalvarez7301]

I love how you can tell by the facial expressions alone how far gone Freeman is.

[@remainprofane7732]

His eyes are such a good touch, he looks so sleep-deprived and unhinged. Excellent work.

[@MrManfhis]

That's just incredible! Freeman shooting people with the shotgun looks just like Valve's stuff.

[@PANCAKEMINEZZ]

I honestly wish armed up Gordon was his official design. I love seeing the HEV suit with ammo pouches and the rest of Gordon's arsenal just strapped to him.

[@Michae89]

This is amazing! Love the reaction shot from the inside of the tank. Also kudos for your attention to detail, like the fact that Freeman has guns and ammo bags strapped to him.

[@christiangrey3645]

God, you are so talented. If the whole series was animated, I think we'd all pick you.

[@codaboi138]

Thank you for this comment, it really put a smile on my face :)

[@blackegret666]

I love the little details in the tank section. When the Abrams shoots and misses Freeman, part of the building behind him crumbles, leaving large pieces of debris and blowing out the glass in the process. We also get to see the crew inside the M1 being comepletely dumbfounded hearing Gordon harassing them with a crowbar from the outside. Little details like this I find underappreciated in animation and film making and I think you did a really good job with these small scenes.

[@Isaacfess]

A Freeman's Mind animation with lip sync? *Amazing!* Great and fluent animations, really emotive too.

[@HQ_Default]

0:58 This whole scene is so fucking _FLUID._ You can see the weight behind each character's movements and it's just so satisfying to watch.

[@TotallyNotASpy1]

I absolutely love how finally somebody is using actual weapon slings.

[@revolutionstudios5052]

That is some really fluid fight animation. Reminds me of the Monty era of Red vs Blue.

[@Skeletondude101]

Absolutely amazing! That segue after The bullet hit him right into the firefight was perfect, I also love his screams of rage outside the tank while he’s bludgeoning it. Also the look on the two soldiers faces perfectly captures on how you should react when hearing that shit. i’d probably shit myself, then blow up my own soldier buddies with my grenades, because accuracy isn’t a strong suit in the HECU-

[@hallowacko]

This really puts Gordon into the same category as One Punch Man with me, of ordinary doofuses with inexplicably incredible power.

[@AManNamedHawk]

😍 @ all the details. My favorite one is the mushroom cloud reflecting in his glasses while he begs for it not to be a nuke. That’s exactly how I pictured his face looking.

[@basimaziz]

I love seeing animation put to these scenes. Love how he was just banging on the tank, lol.

[@Biodeamon]

the super expressive eye look on his face when the nuke dropped was great

[@kodybuffettwilson]

This animation is phenomenal! Fluid motion and dynamic camerawork as well as a vibrant personality make this the best Freeman's Mind animation and one of the best Source Filmmaker animations I've ever seen.

[@Kingkool-uo1ew]

“look out there’s a sniper-“ *kills a man* “-outside!”

[@krumz90]

Oh my god, that running animation while he's running towards the tank cued with the dialogue fucking killed me. Same with him bursting through the doorway shotgun in hand screaming. Easily the best rendition of animating Freeman's Mind I have ever seen, along with your other animations.

[@Komegatze]

the action is animated beautifully

[@MrPikaGammer]

Good smooth animation and you used the right H.E.V. suit for the Black Mesa Incident, good job!

[@ElephantsDoingCrack]

1:00 this made me laugh my ass off for no reason. I think because of how fast and ridiculous it is. Those hecus were probably really fucking confused what he was talking about.

[@SKODWARDE253]

Holy shit, I absolutely need Ross Freeman animated LMAO

[@DreadNawght]

sweet jesus this is next level, please turn it into a full time job until your last breath

[@greggorytame6672]

God fucking damn dude! I love it! I love the face work! I love the cinematography and choreography of the scenes! Absolutely solid work 👌

[@lancearnold54]

0:55 "Okay, I'm not blind and my face is still on my… face so that probably wasn't a nuke." (gunshot)

[@blueninjaproductions7816]

*Gordon proceeds to lose his shit*

[@justanother19yearold]

You should have much more views, dude. Each animation is better and better.

[@deathstar628]

finally. another content creator that makes freeman's mind sfm adaptations

[@MDPToaster]

This animation is superb very fluid and the lip sync is great.

[@codaboi138]

Thank you! :p

[@AJGsTV]

I like how "I can't handle a nuke," is more about the emotional labor and not physically tanking it.

[@unchaynd7266]

Holy shit the facial animations are really good

[@voxlvalyx]

The way Gordon's face is animated makes me think you studied Ross's mannerisms, because his face moves in very similar ways. Super impressive

[@codaboi138]

Honestly I think it's just how that freeman model is rigged. The expressions just turn out like that. Maybe someone at Valve did though? >.>

[@TheShkar]

OMG, THIS IS AWESOME! Please, continue doing those!

[@codaboi138]

I still have one on the way! Just taking a break from animation. Also, thank you ^^

[@mr.illegal5268]

This is pretty good! I really like how smooth the action was at the end!

[@WinXP_SP1]

Bro....this is awesome! I hope someday you animate a whole episode :D

[@Guruc13]

I came here from the Accursed Farms reddit. Just outstanding character work and framing yo!

[@thorwhitaker]

This whole animation is just beautiful. Excellent characterisation not only from Freeman, but also the HECU. That last sequence at the end was just the cherry on top. My heart goes out to you, because it must have took a lot of extremely hard work to pull off.

[@Seth1915]

At this rate you'll have the entire series reanimated, ha ha

[@BBrawler101]

This is insanely well done, I’m impressed!

[@codaboi138]

Thank you :D

[@ford383]

Amazing animation. You've got combat down pat

[@PantherCat64]

I've discovered you've made another Freeman's Mind SFM of my favorite scene with the same cinematic quality as the last one I saw. Awesome.

[@MACMAN2003]

[@notfreeman1776]

that was a damn smooth fight

[@ivan-sin-compania5710]

This is an actual pretty good animation! This is kinda how I would play the Freeman's Mind events in a more "cinematic" way, like, outside of a first person perspective.

[@KOTYAR1]

Awesome work, awesome setup of animation!

[@mrsubject1]

That facial posing perfectly captors the voice lines amazing work fr

[@piggosalternateaccount4917]

Re-watching and you have the most wonderful angles, compsition and timing. Just wonderful.

[@lupenngrimpaw936]

That was a damn grade-A animation!

[@Vortexgunner3282]

Considering the amount of views this video has, I was expecting the animation to be low in quality. I was pleasantly surprised a few seconds in. Nicely done.

[@Vortexgunner3282]

I still really like this video lol

[@kas1680]

The fact that it doesn't have more views makes me sad :(

[@MrmaneHax]

Severely underviewed what the hell KZbin these are great!

[@BMofficialvids]

This is incredible

[@gordonfeetman445]

I did this same thing but I just went on top of the tank and starting whacking it with a crowbar.

[@Gizzor]

god if only you were given a budget, you could animate it all

[@Pinnaporaptor]

I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but I really love how the thumbnail resembles Half-Life's promotional artwork!

[@codaboi138]

It was actually :D I'm glad someone noticed!

[@nickybee6878]

Truly this content is underrated the amount of things you put to make those videos are incredible. You deserve more dude. (also a little side note I noticed your using the HECU Romaka there just a small little deatil you can see the Lambada Logo there, sorry I'm just really paying to much attention to the HECU units the are my favourite)

[@codaboi138]

Thank you, that means a lot c: But yes, I noticed that they have that logo on one of my other animations too. In that I tried to cover it with a bayonet, but in the end I figured things were moving too quick for it to matter. I just much prefer how those modes look compared to the Black Mesa one xD

It depresses me how slow production has been over the past few years. He once said if he was any good at improvising he would have been done with the series years ago. I can't imagine what it's like to have absolute originality through the same gameplay for every video.

[@gravemind883]

[@pablovonpablo2590]

Great work! I'm curious why when he said "nuke" he didn't purse his lips for the "oo" sound.

[@codaboi138]

Honestly I cant remember. I usually prioritize the lip sync before I do any other animation to make sure it's as good as it can be. I vaguely remember that scene being frustrating. My guess is the facial flexes just wouldn't allow it. The model wasn't really designed for close up facial expressions I don't think.

[@lonecolamarine]

It’s something… seeing Gordon act in 3rd person REALLY highlights to me how dangerous he is. I mean the training level aside, what kind of world is Half-life that a scientist is a better trained soldier than a specialist unit of the marine corps? I mean FMverse Gordon seems kinda like someone crazy enough to actually know how to fight the way he does. Like all the shit he talks could be backed up in an instant. And on that note, there’s very few times where it’s implied that he’s actually “talking” It’s freeman’s MIND, after all. That means in his mind, he babbles insane gibberish when he gets scared, and goes on deranged tangents about everything that happens around him, and even starts to go insane and stop justifying his killings as “self defense.” It’s tragic, but hilarious. That we watch an educated dude with bad habits that CAN be a prick, degrade into a paranoid trigger-happy nutcase. I hate to see how he’s gonna deal with his monicker “The One Free Man” when the resistance starts to just short of worship him. Although… I noticed he held his fire and told one of the first Metrocops to drop his gun before retaliating. So Gordon’s not completely gone. Yet.

[@dodgeworldl8470]

Seeing the comments of this video put something into perspective; One man who watched Die hard too many times takes on the entire US forces + an invading Alien force, screaming the whole time, or talking to himself like a lunatic. And he still won. That's kinda horrifying when you think about it. (Edit: Great vid by the way. Animations and flow was honestly amazing.)
