The Making of Portal: No Escape (Live Action Short Film by Dan Trachtenberg)

[trybi100]

where did they get the portal gun modle please reply i want one

[SpuckUnites]

I would love to make short films at this quality all the time!

[mBrooks95]

My querstion: Where did they obtain the Portal Gun model?

[Stealtht6]

@mBrooks95 That could be aperture science, they did invent them. Seems odd that they would have human guards though.

[yuliauleea]

super cool!

[HunterEli602]

What's that thing in back of her neck?

[Stealtht6]

@HunterEli602 Barcode. Probably put there by the test centre since she wakes up not knowing what it was.

[joshxboyxelit3]

Nice do make full movie editing was amazing

[DClolvids2]

please make this a full length movie, if money is an issue im sure no one will have a problem donating

[MrEditzzzz]

@DClolvids2 Do you realize how much money it really is to make a huge movie? quite a bit these people are awesome and making this short 5 minute film took that many people making a full movie would take alot of time and money because they cannot just simply torrent the programs to edit this.

[vezer4]

so amazing :O

[jab4188]

I like the ash effect off of the portals... Or I guess the little embers that tail off.

[tannytgz]

like that they used the cubes like in portal

[mohamed123906]

more more moreeeeeeeeee

[sonofkhoaskrasher]

Is there gonna be a 2

[MexicanSniper2099]

i love it



[wizbang529]

If you shot your friend in the stomach with a portal gun, and then shot the wall, you'd walk through his stomach and out of the wall. Okay, great, we all know that. But...

Where did his stomach go?

[SuspiciousTumbleweed]

i think i just jizzed my pants... Dear sweet jesus I.. i dont even know what to comment. Nerdgasm. They really did pick the right girl for this!

[Modosco]

[gamerboy244]

@rev0jom pc: steam, console (portal2): local gamestore

[gamerboy244]

@gamerboy244 why can I not have a ":" follow a ")"? (test):test

[rev0jom]

@gamerboy244 thanks for the help

[SmurfedYah]

sooooo much rotoscoping xD

must have been sooo much work

[Arowwe]

Dude. You guys should make a real movie. It'd be so awesome.

[AnimeLoveBy99]

When you make a movie about 1 hour the film will come to the cinemas and you'll be a rich man!

This is so awesome!! I just can't describe it how awesome it's made!!

[Georg665]

Just AWESOME.

[XLEGENDARYDUDEX]

wait wait a minute... SHORT FILM seriously! make it like an hour or at least 2 hours i mean what the HECK! that's not not nice to us at first i thought it was full length you ripped me OFF!

[masamune52]

@XLEGENDARYDUDEX Shaddup ya damn whiner. be happy they made anything for us to enjoy.

[XLEGENDARYDUDEX]

@masamune52 ok sorry <=[

[masamune52]

@XLEGENDARYDUDEX  lol sorry for snappin off like that. i tend to be really defensive of people who work their asses off for something like this.

[XLEGENDARYDUDEX]

@masamune52 its fine im used to it by other people lol

[zyderman2050]

Why hasn't someone hired you to make a full length Portal movie??? You'd do fantastic!

[fratlar]

She looked at the operational end of the device

[DoGoodBr0]

komiksar.com



[espiodudeful7]

I thought glados would come out at the end

[MateenK]

Please valve, give him a hand and make a movie already!

[FuriousMarsupial]

Green screens are just like portals!

[IrvinPwnz]

Left 4 Dead Movie anybody?

[randompeterXD]

@IrvinPwnz This is Portal. Let's be smart and not piss of anyone by staying on subject young one.

[Zentiu]

@IrvinPwnz allready is 1 out there..

watch?v=PGC-_o6QteU

[Dandidodos]

So fucking cool

[JJsiftinc]

13 people never escaped aperture

[TheNightcloudHATER]

REAL MOVIE PLEAASSSSSE I'D SEE IT 10 THOUSAND TIMES!! I'D SPEND LOTS O F MONEY!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I'D BUY ALL MY FRIENDS THE BLU RAY DVD!!!!! COME ON!!!!

[pa3kj0shua]

OH MONEY :(

[CreepyVogelsBird]

I want to see this as a movie

[YourFavoriteAsian1]

JESUS!!!!

[2JoeStudios]

how did they raise the money for that i mean

a shortfilm doesn't pay of....

[TheXshot]

@2JoeStudios This doesn't cost that much lol

[2JoeStudios]

@TheXshot you have obviously no idea of filmmaking

[feeltherose]

@2JoeStudios There is such thing as product placement. Every movie does that. This is however a very small portion that they gave. As long as you have contacts everything is possible. Just saying from my own experience.

[2JoeStudios]

@feeltherose Of course you are right.

I am not saying it is not possible to make such a film. I am just saying that it doesn't pay of for the maker nor the producer nor the investor.

People make such shortfilms for a different reason. They need something they can show their skills with. It's their key to bigger films. Damn sure no commercial purpose behind this

[toobles3]

How the hell does she kick that bed through the portal?

[Astharot90]

Holy frozen cocks!! Amazing....

[Agentalex16]

So...How did they Make those muscles?

[mountainevent12]

hooody hoo! amazing!

[Andre2m10]

now i understand how the first guy fall own, she kicked the bed trought the portal...

[ButaNoTsubasa]

@Andre2m10 Oooohh! So THAT'S what it was. I was like, why did she shoot a portal behind him and not even use it? Lol.

[Andre2m10]

@ButaNoTsubasa i realized while watching the making of, there was a marker were the portal shoud be in the wall

[allcoolnohot]

can they make a tutorial like this if you guys also have this question in mind

[doceigen]

Visual effects?? What do you mean, "VISUAL EFFECTS"??

Yeah, the cake is a lie too... it figures.

[Fuleadeare]

i really think that they also chose the best actress for this. I love that she's so convincing, I love that she's so built and (although she is rather pretty) she is not society's sexual ideal. I like how REAL she is and how well she acts.

[djukafox]

@Fuleadeare yes she is good,but if there ever will be a portal movie,id rather go for a cuter character,someone like the girl from outside aperture portal short film,just my opinion!

[Teeheehee093]

@Fuleadeare I rather super sexy or cute lol

[Fuleadeare]

@Teeheehee093

Heh, I can understand...there's very little leeway with hormones. At the same time, though, sexy chicks are all over the media. We can see them anywhere, anytime we want. Eventually, it sucks, because we wake up and realize that it's only a fantasy, and then...well, it's just less real all of a sudden, because that's all there ever is. Actresses like this, though, are so easy to relate to. It makes them more real. It makes everything more real.

[ZeDBeE85]

if only they had a LOVE IT button... sigh

[allcoolnohot]

LOTS OF GEAR OUT THERE ...IS THAT A RED ONE CAMERA ON A JIB CRANE?

[66kcmiller]

The only complaint I could ever possibly thing of, is they didn't build a replica of this portal gun /watch?v=iLFyeUtcL3Y Other than that I have no complaints, NONE AT ALL!

[theonlyonebuttwo]

that was pretty cool

[kkiller1234567890]

why would they go thru all this trouble JUST to make a short unstead of a full movie

[bob49459]

11 people didn't make the momentum jump.

[aesafuan]

like

[2000tomyboy]

if this comes out in the movies anytime 2012 it will be a hit.AS LONG AS GLaDoS is in it cos she is basicly one of the main characters plus the movie should have the companion cube and the cores. :3

[xMasterJuiceX]

not as hot as chell :/

[demiser21]

@xMasterJuiceX i think you should go back and look at the chell model in portal she is almost ugly and purposefully not sexy.

[furonguy42]

That was the least informative "making of" video I've ever seen...

[MrMinecraftTNT]

10 people didn't got out of the factory alive or even didn't got out of their cell in the begining

[UltimateGrobanite]

YT just needs to do away with the dislike button. Too many people hit it on accident, like on this video.

[adamthecg]

I Knew I saw mike Gains

[gagaKoala]

Did you use Trapcode Particular for the Edges of the Portals ?!

Anyway awesome work !!

Great Visuals

[KillingZombies]

Insane



[Mrkkiillleerr]

where is the dislike bar?

[ibsprintin]

What camera was this shot on?

[TheOnceHeard]

@ibsprintin red epic

[KronikalProductions]

@TheOnceHeard Looks more like a RED One to me.

[littledustball]

beyond cool!



[DaiEden]

My favorite youtube vid :) Kudos!

[MrDanmac5]

asomew vid you guys!!!

[nazrulization]

nice....



[GuyWithAChannel]

How would u cut some one out like that for a matte painting in nuke? Anyone?

[eduspa109]

Could it into a movie.

[MyFlyingchicken]

@fcbayernsven it won't work. windows movie maker will not cover something this elaborate. If you are willing to spend $1000 on after effects, though.........

[fcbayernsven]

I've got the Windows Movie Maker.

[Ancient078978]

You made it into a trailer like type..........

Now make it into a movie an hour or more long!

[keavoncp]

You'd think that with that much work put into it, and that big of a budget, they'd make a real ASHPD and some better Portal graphics... and not use those guards and use a different setting?

[sideways895]

one thing i have to say if this does blow up into a movie (which would be amazing). please don't ruin it by making the character in the movie chell. Make her one of the humans that the robotic test subjects retrieved from cryo-storage.

[ItsMarvinAbel]

Three words to describe; BETTER, THAN, HOLLYWOOD!

[SubscribeTheMega]

Thais so awsome!

[nemphous]

And now we know why u jst got yourself a huge feature film from universal.. Keep up the great work and hope u continue doing what you are passionate about..

[myuutsuuCMCE]

This is just too much awesomeness for a day…

Sir, you seriously rock!

[dorharari]

what kind of effect program are they using?

[NixHap]

I ask my myself. Why people would dislike a video like this.

[Iamjohntheone]

@NixHap Jealousy

[hawkHKA123]

@Iamjohntheone ofcourse

[adliikhwan280]

@NixHap Justin Bieber fans of course.

[Solider7]

@NixHap GlaDOS must have made 9 accounts disliked this video on all of them.

[MAXIESONIC]

@NixHap

They accidentally hit the dislike button. It's a statistics thing.

[Nicro327]

@NixHap Probably jealous trolls or something

[Rex06870]

@NixHap I ask MY MYSELF,too.

[SplaserFilms]

the portal gun looked like shit though

[KilandorMyntel]

@SplaserFilms Lets see you make a better one

[El23edvin]

Can anyone answer me why they put green dots on the walls?

Is it for tracking (if yes,track what?) or for cg post?

[namaro539]

Mind blowing

[moviesunrated]

The biggest lesson Hollywood can learn from this is that people are willing to buy a full movie of this rather than illegally download it.

[tianaak95]

what special effects program did you use??

[DevilGuitarMan]

Why Hollywood can't do such a thing but a random crew of awesome people can?

[cloudnine04]

CRAZY

[phnxfire91]

This made my year....

[MoonishDesire]

I'd pay $100 for the dvd if this was a real movie. But then again what makes it so special I guess... It's that it's short...

[leejaedi]

Wow! I will forget be waiting for a full length movie based on this game.

[ClicedFTW]

I would pay full price to own a copy of this if you made it full-length! 

[crazynuttyperson1234]

wow. now they need to make a sequel!!! this is totaly epic!!

[SparkyArts]

epic.



[tampusfe]

WHAT A NICE IDEA!

[AuzzieBoredguy]

Make more stuff

[12jdbugs]

wow

[Headhunter0920]

so whos the idiot keeping this from NOT being a movie? JUST MAKE A FRICKIN MOVIE ALRRADY!

[boradis]

What I don't get is why you chose, or had, to use CGI for the portal gun prop and some walls in the set.

[itoamor]

@boradis actually the gun was real they just tracked it to use the sparks and enerygy

[boradis]

@itoamor Ah!!! Ok, that makes more sense. Cuz I was also thinking it was an *extremely* real-looking CGI prop. Thanks for clarifying that!

[phoebephilofy2526]

I just raped the like button

[UzumakiRafu]

make a fucking movie

[DJEvo256]

Awesome work guys! need to make it a feature

[halodudecj1]

yay

they could do an real portal movie

and should

[HyperVegitoDBZ]

Amazing!

[capo2k8]

That's the fucking shit. Awesome.

[iSant0S]

This is Just F*cking awesome..........

[Arkenarge]

she can still escape lol

[Skyfox94]

man.. i really want to do stuff like that...

[WeirdGuy207]

Wow, this was alot more intricate than I thought

[MrCMelon]

Bravoo all the whole crew

[Kavaltheone]

Where is GLADOS???

still this is awesome!

[HeapsGoodProductions]

This just inspires me to make better films!

[mcpopolicious]

Congrats on your deal with Universal, DannyTRS! Ah-mazing!

[iknowtech3000]

@mcpopolicious what deal did they get?

[PillsCrazy]

Really awesome tecnology *--*

[AppleAustin01]

This short film was amazing!

[awsomeJim123]

if the mortal kombat legacy can be a movie im pretty sure this will be a a movie too.

[lrajavel]

Hoping to see this talented crew doing a feature length movie very soon.

Excellent work and execution guys!!

[finalddesfan180]

the actress says the character she is portraying is not chell. this women can either caroline or maybe just maybe chell's mother. but im hoping this is the story of caroline.

[lordike89]

@finalddesfan180 It's not. Caroline was Cave Johnson's secretary. Why would Caroline need to try and escape Aperture to become it's CEO's secretary and wife? It's likely some other woman.

[Pwn9Gaming]

2:00 YES IT FUCKIN IS!!!

[Pwn9Gaming]

0:25 is that a RED i see there???

[TrueMOBSTER]

That was amazing to see how much work goes into making the short film

T.M.P

[PinguinCrazy]

looks simple

[94dicka]

Awesome! The Portal story is perfect, and I think now the director too! Please, make it!

[ChrisoneillART]

They better make a full length movie outta this,

[yourself65]

lol.. i'd watch ur making movies instead of these crap full movies :)

[dcshizz]

Please let valve hire him for a full length movie, and let her never talk, I want glados only to talk it would be the coolest

[Yodawg318]

This really needs to be a full length movie! Valve, please give dantrachtenberg1 the money, please. Thumbs up so Valve will see!

[karevan666]

@Yodawg318 shouldnt it better to subscribe dantrachtenberg1 channel and not asking for thumbs up in your comment? BTW, do it, subscribe him and we'll see what will happen in the future

[Yodawg318]

@karevan666 I am subscribed to dantrachtenberg1, I just love his video so much that I think Valve should sponser it or something to make it into a full length action packed movie! Check out my channel and watch and thumbs up and sub to me to make sure. Are you even subed to him?

[backscatcher]

AWESOME!!!



[PCH001]

This really needs to be licensed from Valve to make this movie. That'd be awesome

[Dcoradical]

WOW!!!

You guys should seriously think about making a Portal movie!!!

[Omuraspencer]

And yet hollywood has a much larger budget than this video and they can only give us shark night 3D. It's sad that this couldn't be a theater movie.
