He’s done another Half-Life first person animation… except this one’s much more ambitious!
Yes, despite the average-sounding name, this is not your run-of-the-mill trailer. James has taken some of the more well-known scripted sequences from the original Half-Life, and practically transformed them! The result is nothing short of stunning, as first-person animation techniques work to have Gordon swing his beloved crowbar in ways you haven’t seen in a Half-Life game before, crawl about through vents, and he even manages to lose his glasses at one point. Even Black Mesa’s machinery is given new life, as the Anti-Mass Spectrometer buckles about realistically. There’s also some great animation on the various characters.
The only problem is that the animation work can sometimes look a bit too… jiggly, and we would have definitely loved to see more scenes, especially some stuff from Surface Tension. James says this trailer is only 20% of what he really wanted in, both in terms of quality and scope. Sure, some stuff is missing, but if this is what James calls 20%, then we can’t imagine what 100% would be like!
And it was created in a mere 6 weeks! Check the video out below.
Oh wow, the game would be even more amazing if you could play like that! I hope that, one day, he doing a Video with Half Life 2! With scenes like Alyx is tripping and lands in gordons arms, or stuff *hihi*.

He has done it once again! Supurb.
Yeah this is one epic video
this is BADASS, cant wait to watch it
Watch the full thing? Actually… there is no full thing. It’s just a trailer for HL, as James would have made it back in 1998.
darn, I would fund him to make the whole game 😛
this guy is a really talented animator.
It would be insane, but oh so amazing!
