You can see it in G-man’s eyes how terrified he is of Benry. He knows full well what Benry is and must be losing his mind cause he probably had no idea he could still move when time is frozen.
Gordon's subtle half-smile at the end is really great. He looks tired, fed up, vaguely amused and already expecting and accepting of the bullshit he has seen and will continue to see. I just wish the guard model was a little more shadowed around the eyes. That's my favorite part of Benrey/the HL1 guard model--the deep shadow around the eyes makes them look tired, vaguely intimidating and somewhat sickly. It's a great visual contrast to Benrey's nonsense bullshit.
This scene always seemed so interesting to me. G-Man clearly knows what "Benrey" is and he's still shocked on how Benrey is able to move freely as the G-Man froze time. You displayed the facial expressions beautifully here
The implication that Benrey just carries his PlayStation around with him the whole time is. Spectacular. The animation in this was just so good and smooth and lifelike, aaaa amazing
Fave bit was at the end where GMan just. Noclips thru the floor, thumbs up "You-- You'll figure it out. You'll figure it out." And Benrey just, having that PS4 on his back like its a backpack was golden.
0:26 I love that by the sound of G-man's voice, you can pick up that this has never happened before, ever, and now this random black Mesa security guard has simply ignored his time freeze.

Did a big test animation to practice movement and get re-acquainted with SFM as a whole.
