“Alright who’s idea was it to hide a portal gun in the prisoners room”
@The Legendary Overlord Ikr
Sorry mister johnson!
@The Legendary Overlord I don't think surfaces needed to have moon dust, moon dust itself was just capable of conducting portals. So certain surfaces that don't conduct need moon dust paint, but many of the plain concrete walls in portal 2 conducted portals without paint.
@@christopherballard1348 Those walls are made out of moonrock though
Wilo Polis the walls in the test chamber might be. But several concrete walls in the cave Johnson area, which would have been built before they had moon rocks, still conducted portals.
A handheld portal device isn’t super useful if it needs one type of specially designed walls to work.
I can not believe that this movie is 8 years old...
wow it's rly 8 years old..
damn it looks from 2019
@@Daddydj46 Short movie. Feel better?
Movie? Read the title you dumb
How did we not know about this sooner
Yea this is good
12 years later and I still come back to this.
Incredible piece of work it is. Hope Tractenberg stays busy.
I'm Always come back I'm Here that Too Many Times in FNAF history
It's 2022, and out of seemingly nowhere, I had a nostalgic urge to rewatch one of my favorite fanmade Portal videos.

Same here
weird i have all the games on steam and tonight is the first ive seen it. makes me want to go home and play it after work lol
and youtube randomly recommended it to me
now 2023 :D
This is a piece of CZcams history, my children.
Hell yeah it is!
YES
Correct
Yep
Yes i remember watching this 6 years ago

Even 11 years later This is still a really good short film
When she pounded the wall, my heart sunk, like when Truman reaches the wall of the dome in his boat trying to escape the Truman Show.
EXACTLY
Me: "She's in a city? That doesn't make any sense."
Her: reaches a wall
Me: "Ah. There you go. This makes sense now."
Me at 5:03 : "you can tell this is low budget. Look at that obvious green screen"
10 seconds later: "oh, well played"
i had the same thought.
Inded
Same.

YEAH NO SHIT SHERLOCK
YOU MUST BE A FUCKING GENIUS
(Omg he knows dat he figured out afterwards)
Solar terraria creeper [2nd channel] shut up
I was expecting a "hello" or something from glados when she left or at the end.
Luis G. That woulda been awesome
I mean considering there are dead ppl in those companion cubes at the end...
When GLaDOS was launched "she" killed all scientists and staff so if there were guards in film GLaDOS is still in progress.
Yeah that would’ve been cool

11 years later, and I still wish for a sequel
I had no idea Dan (the guy who directed the short) is the same guy who directed 10 clover field lane and most recently Prey. That’s awesome to see he likes portal as well, hope your career goes far man, you got great talent:)
I was like "wow, the green screen is done so bad right at the end" then it starts to pan more and you see the aperature lab space and just, ah, art.
Using your small budget to your advantage in the most creative way possible.
@@flaregamer64 exactly

Took me second to remember what you’re talking about lmao

Chell: *fires the portal gun in her own face*
Glados: Idiot.
I just found this video today. That ending…I’m not joking when I say it gave me chills. Very very well-done.
A portal movie done right would be the perfect mix of funny and suspenseful. Such a great game series
Who else was hoping she would do the thing where you shoot a portal on the ceiling and on the floor and get stuck in perpetual falling?
@TheRealEnderMorpher you seem to forget this isn't real 😂😂
@Lalrivunga Hnamte I don't think so. Example, when you ride a bike and increase the speed, there is many force and pressure at front that will make you slow down. Even when there is no or low pressure or force below you when you falling from the portal, there may have a vacuum state below and above you that make you slow down if not float.
@Lalrivunga Hnamte I'm not scientist and I fail in science at school but no one know what will really happen when you travel between portal...
@@rosmah8925 do you even know what terminal velocity is? its the maximum velocity an object/human/etc can reach while free falling, there is no vacuum state as you'd be travelling through air not a vacuum chamber. Idk where/why you came up with that
Pilots can not fly faster than 700 mph. Fun fact.
first i thought "this is a really bad green-screen" and then... "aww fak"
i though the same T-T

3:07 "Do not look into the operational end of the device. Do not touch the operational end of the device. Do not partially or fully submerge the device in liquid."
Look into, not look at
And most importantly do not-
Its actually “Do not look into the operational end of the device. Do not touch the operational end of the device. Do not submerge the device in liquid, even partially. And most importantly, under no circumstances should you...”
@@Chris_M-fn6yk Technically you're wrong too. It's actually "Do not touch the operational end of the device. Do not look directly at the operational end of the device. Do not submerge the device in liquid, even partially. Most importantly, under no circumstances should you..."
NOTE: If you use some of the broken subtitles (example, Russian) you can actually see that in the end it says "Do not take the portal device out of the laboratory."
Even 9 years later, This is still a really good short film
Yeah
Yes
Yep
Yes
Agreed. I still love putting the soundtrack (on soundcloud) on repeat while I work

Dobar si, bre! :D
2:50 Do not touch the operational end of the device.
3:08 Do not look directly at the operational end of the device.
when its turned on
DANG IT. I should'a noticed that XD
hahaha lol first thing i noticed ^^
The portals have been tested to be completely safe~ the device however has not... (hits person with it)
You're Dovahkiin... I'm Dovahdrog!
I think that this is the first time this video has come across my feed since it first came out. The fact that the director of this would go on to direct media that would become major parts of pop culture absolutely astonishes me. Hell, even the way he put such a dramatic spin on what was just a puzzle game for people E-10+ is amazing. I love seeing the work of people who are now household names back when they first begun.
This aged real well
So good to watch over and over again
It’s 2019 and Portal is still one of the top 5 video games I’ve ever played.
Does that include Portal 2? That one was better in every way imo
@@zombified_pariah7720 While the second one is technically superior and objectively better - the first portal was something new and different that anything before that.
@@LittleNasty Ok...and that's relevant...how...? It's aged like milk. Portal 2 still feels slick and smooth.
@@zombified_pariah7720 the original portal actually aged fine. The graphics aren't terrible, the simple plot is fun, and it being shorter makes it super fun to blast through
@@user-vj2nt7jf7z Look I have as much respect for Portal 1 as you, but I remember playing it back in 2014 and EVEN THEN it felt like something a group of like 10 people put together in a week compared to Portal 2.
She escaped, only to realize she never left.
So sad.:(
Stay alive
There is no cake! 🎂
it's a lie, the cake is a lie
No te rindas. La ergástula es oscura,
la firme trama es de incesante hierro,
pero en algún recodo de tu encierro
puede haber un descuido, una hendidura.
El camino es fatal como la flecha
pero en las grietas está Dios, que acecha.
JL Borges
To english:
Do not give up. The ergastula is dark,
the firm plot is of incessant iron,
but in some corner of your confinement
There may be an oversight, a slit.
The road is fatal as the arrow
but in the cracks is God, who lurks.
Even at 11 years old this is still awesome
Do you by chance know what happened to the maker of this video? I noticed this is the only video they made
@@o0o-jd-o0o95 unfortunately no, sorry. ,:)
One of the best short films i have seen! They got the character of Chell down perfectly! She is very resourceful and extremely stubborn and doesn't give up, just like the game! 12/10!
she looks like a female Keanu Reeves
Yea but can she whoah?
Bruh she does tho
not UwU Shit yeahh omg

She could be the female lead of the fourquel Jane Wick

Dumb ways to die: Portal edition?
It says not to do that on the instruction manual!

The business end
That was an epic ending. With the screen just turning to reveal the cake was a lie.
Why do they want to keep her inside that place ? Is the outside world ended ? Nuked ? Apocalypse ? Or Just to be a test subject ?
test subject
fat cat In Portal 2 the world was destroyed, so that could be a reason. But I am sure that they wanted her as a test subject, same with the games also.
Jake But where are the other people's in Portal 2?
Dead?
Android User Probably, I don't think it says but you never see anyone else throughout the game besides the AI
Yes! Finally!! It came back around in the algorithm and I'm again blown away at just how much they were able to squeeze in with zero dialogue, amazing work!
Very unfortunate ending for her, bit this is an amazing short film. I hope they make a full fledged movie one day.
It's been 9 years and I still wake up in the night wondering what she saw in those drawings on the wall that helped her find the portal gun.
Same
I think what she actually saw, was a need for the plot to move forward somehow.
she saw SPAAAAAACEE SPACE. DIPPER. SPACE. SPACE. MOON MOON YES YES SPAAAACE MOON STAR STARS. STARS. SPAAAACE
I had to replay it so many times..
I only looked through the fan film about 3 times. but I think she noticed the stains on the wall where someone had put their hands on it repeatedly and thought to check it. It's similar to where she put her hands in the following scene.
ending unlocked: trapped forever

Ohhhh this is really impressive ! Amazing work ! Thank you for sharing

Carly The Queen of Chaos no this is an 8 year old short film
;(
no but there is a portal and half life movie happening apparently. just slowly.
@@dogcool8381 watch your mouth dude
OMG "Let's Play a Little GAME" SAW you are The Man, Buzz Saw
This is exactly how I imagined a portal movie would start. It's beautiful and perfect. You monster.
If they did do a Portal movie, it would most definitely not follow the Portal story line.
not really, there are plenty of flaws to this. The effects are pretty low quality(For any movie), the actor was bad, the practical effects were bad. The fact that she mastered the portal gun in a few seconds is not a really good way to start something off... It took most people at least 30 minutes to understand how the portal gun works in game...
Then again this is only a CZcams video...
You should wear a label that says "WARNING: EXCESS SODIUM CONTENT"
+TonyGAMING everybodys a critic :P
Josiah Sanchez Exactly, without critics nothing would be good.

Literally one old lady showed up and walked past the outer gate.
Fantastic, love how perfect the mc is as a stand in for Chell and the premise is great.
always loved this short film!
Great video, it was well worth the rewatch!
One little detail I think is really creative is that when she fires a portal, the wall cracks around the portal. It's a really subtle detail, and it didn't appear in the game, but I really like the sense of realism it lends. Well played, filmmakers! Well played indeed!

What an excellent short film.. that last bit was chilling and brilliantly done. 👏👏👏
At the 5 minute mark I was like, "oh come on all that amazing work put into it and you guys rush this greenscreen scene?!" but seconds later I was deeply humbled.
this could be a really good trailer for the actual game jesus
yea boi
Or a Disney live action remake trailer
Give or take
Na they wouldn't have living people there. It was only GLaDOS ad Chell. All other are in stasis and so on
@@ryseterion NOT disney, they would ruin the franchise
No Not for the actual portal game. There woulde be so much wrong.
A cage surrounded by another cage. What a plot twist.
Yo dawg, I heard you like cages
Well she was clearly meant to find the portal gun, I'd say the whole thing went as planned.
nicolas cage
The real twist is, you are telling the whole story.

I love it great job. One of my favorite games of all time
A faithful adaptation that captures the essence, atmosphere & story of the games. It was a pleasant experience.
damn she figured that gun out fast
If I found something like that I would stick my hand in it
Thumbs up for your name and comment.
The Grinch In A Mask Holding A Gun
Shentonator Because a portal only has two sides like a wormhole or something?
The Grinch In A Mask Holding A Gun Im dumb as fuck so how did she figure it out?
Plot twist: *you haven’t unlocked that side YET*
This ain't EA
JoeMakaFloe
It is now
It's one of the best short films ever
And I am saying that nine years after it came out.
I have rewatched it so often and I still love it.
Fantastic work!
Imagine hearing "Test Champer 1 Complete" in GLaDOS's voice before she hit the deceiving wall with her fist? Oh the chills that could've been.
What a great short film. Must've worked so hard on this!
Well.. she's in really good shape.
From this, to The Boys, my boy has come a long way
I remember watching this when it first came out and being awestricken! I was obsessed and showed everyone then proceeded to binge everything portal
Do not stare directly into the device.
Yea but most importantly you must never under any circ...
Portals only stick to certain surfaces no getting shot with a portal might not do anything
***** At least she didn't have to go throught a material emancipation grid, she didn't have to fear for her teeth.

It probably collapse the local quantum field. Or something.
Yeah, maybe that's the effect of the button...they really should have test it before !!

3:07 "Do not look directly at the operational end of the device."
My first thought when she discovered how portals work:
'Nice, now I can grab the meal without getting up of the bed'
Where the hell is Wheatley when you need him?
The director: he already was sent to space.
Dude yes
Is in the space
Off being an idiot somewhere.
He's a moron
Holyyy!
Such good writing! This looks really like a professional made movie.
Just wow ! A really good choice to use portal this way the concept is nice and the renders are good too. Great job !
It doesn't age at all !!!
I remember seeing this when it first came out and really liking it, but now that I see it again, it bothers me that there are human guards. I know it adds to the sense of urgency, but the beauty of the game is that you're basically alone. It's still very well done.
Shout out to The Totally Rad Show! My life hasn't been the same without it.
That and that she breaks some of the rules, like in the game or says you can't look at the operational and of the device or touch it and she does both
@@iakonasisler4808 I think the idea was, don't shoot a portal into your face. They can't be held responsible for head displacement.
@@SyzygyNoon I'm pretty sure it's just the fact it will blind and/or vaporize your eyes. It's an experimental device and I wouldn't be surprised if it had side affects like that considering their bouncy gel eats your skeleton away
@@iakonasisler4808 At least we get to eat cake.... Right?
I agree, GLaDOS would never use human guards. She can't risk losing those valuable test subjects.
They shoulda just fed her some cake.

To bad the cake is a lie.
But the cake is a lie
MistyEyedDragon the cake is a lie
i think she was fed up with cake...
Even 10 years later.....I still love the sound.
bro, this is amazing
Hmmm...those walls don't seem to be made of moon rocks.
I always thought that maybe the room where you destroy the Neurotoxin pipes maybe those platforms where moonrocks?
I think they are concrete but maybe painted with moon rock gel
Every single surface is shootable by a portal, it just depends how many time will stay on it.
On moon rocks, however, will stay forever.
nope, only moon rock surfaces or moon rock gel surfaces can have a portal on them

Thank you.
well infact, its 2 videos :3
2019 and CZcams only just tells me about this film. Nice work CZcams..
new algorithm I guess
Same here.
Some of these late recommendations seem normal considering they only pop up after I've searched for similar videos (like when you look up a specific motorcycle crash and suddenly every crash video on CZcams is recommended). But I've looked up a lot of Portal videos and this is the first time I've seen this one recommended. Come on CZcams, get better at reading my mind!
This deserves an award from Valf
Am I tripping or are you the same Dan Trachtenberg who directed the new Prey movie?

GLADOS: you LUNATIC!!!!
typical gamer 246
I was under the assumption that “Woman” was supposed to be Chell

Yeah, I just figured Glados would’ve made a weight joke about this woman, seeing as she’s totally ripped. Something like “if your ears weren’t covered in fat you would still have a face and no tumors in it”
YOU DANGEROUS, MUTE LUNATIC!
I was screaming that at my screen when she did that too XD
