Portal 2 - Exile Vilify - Music Video

[keavoncp]

Now that the contest is over, you don't need the tag line. You should just rename the video "Portal 2 - Exile Vilify - Official Music Video"

[MikeMov89Portal2]

@keavoncp I never thought about doing that, changed now. Thanks. 

[Headlock123456789]

---Oops pressed send by accident--- ppet and I totally agree!!!! This was some AWESOME animation! Not only that, but I love how you stick little almost eastereggs in it too! Bravo!

[Headlock123456789]

Everyone has been saying that this should have won instead of the bizarre sock pu

[spockandcookies]

absolutely fantastic!!!

[bazooka544]

Haha, Gabe Newell at 4:19

[FunOrange42]

@bazooka544 LOL i never saw that

[SilenceMyMusic]

sometimes i forget how deep portal is

[Tawnyjay4]

This should've won. The sock puppet? It had nothing to do with Portal or Valve.

This is the real first place. 

[WHOCARES136786]

Beautiful. This is a masterpiece. I love this song, and to have such a prolific animation with it is just nerd-gasmic. Props, good sir.

[Bismuth83ROBLOX]

If you want lyrics see my 2nd most popular vid

[DrewdytheDamaja]

inspirational, you are very talented!

[countojo]

Did anyone notice at 00:49 it said:

3?

[ReitzerA]

@countojo crowbar!! :D

[ApriteGliOcchiSu]

Mio dio quanto è bello questo video! E' fantastico! Grande!!

[Minigun101]

Isn't this this the song from the wedding that GLaDOS's voice actor set up?

[Hawkfire360]

This really shows that Ratman is the true hero of Portal.

[TheOwenFilms]

@Hawkfire360 So true! Actually, maybe Valve should make one Portal game where you play as Ratman. (Before GLaDOS was made like in hl1 where the experiment needs you and then it all goes wrong).

[Arvata]

This.... is sooo amazing. Simply breathtaking @@ You did a fantastic job!!!

[TheBlackob]

I cant understand... why you not first place? This is so awesome, great, perfect, ... I cant describe it! This is the true first place!

[HaxorPwnerHax]

0:48

Crowbar that says The Awnser



[MrNation1234]

Amazing!

[501028]

You sir make me feel like michelangelo's teacher after seeing his paint work. Breaking my brushes and never paint again. Except I'm not a teacher and a damn amature in animation :P

I can only dream of animating/drawing like you have. Well done.

[ZomgZomg007]

0:45 haha half life 3!!

i can't believe this didnt win over the sock version..this actually stays true to the game

[paulx203]

I watched the winning video and then this and i have to say that valve fucked up. This is a beautiful work of art. You deserved to win.

[regnier123]

@paulx203 the thing is dude, that valve didn't choose the winner, it was the national who made the decision, so you gotta understand that maybe they were looking for something that was more like a music video than something related to the game, still, i think the sock video is quite charming, but it's a matter of taste i suppose

[FlashEF]

This is beautiful and adds to the original story. This is the best contest entry for me.

[Hawkfire360]

Beautiful. This - Puppets.

[saxoncola23]

You animation with your image of Doug is amazing good work my favorite music video ever!

[AbsolutelyCharged]

4:19 Gabe Newell. He won't even fit trough the portals!

[reven923]

Totally love the crowbar at 0:47 hahaha

[RileyPivot]

How was this beaten by a sock?

I don't care what Valve says, in mine, and everyone elses eyes, THIS wins first place..

[larelles1]

Gave me chills, kudos man.

[Baromirek1]

Why in all of the bloody fucking hell did Valve decide that a fucking sock puppet could win over this genius??

[BarneySaysHi]

Wow!

[liquidzen56]

He's hot.

...what? Don't act like it's not TRUE.

[knightfall66]

I've viewed this video a lot of times and it was only now that I saw it.

On the part where it says "Aperture Science Crygo Control panel" there is a drawing of Chell in the top left corner. It looks like one of the Rattmann drawings, which would make sense.

Please tell me other people can see it too.

[MrMintox]

How does a shitty muppet win over, what is clearly, a video that sticks true to the artistic style of Rattman? And secondly, what relation does that sock puppet have with Aparture Science on ANY level??!?

[PowerfullPC]

BERN THE PUPPET< COMPLAIN TO THE WEBSITE, AND GET. THIS. ON . NUMBER. ONE!

PS: best of ALL the vids

[WarFreak1st]

I have seen the work of a GOD! You must have know what they felt right?

[helcol14]

WHY CANT I LIKE THIS MORE THAN ONCE!

[comicguy00]

I would like to see gabe newell testing the portal gun.

[VivaSaysHi]

I get the sock puppet thing is suppose to be artistic or something... Maybe not... But honestly! This video was easily the better choice. It's tasteful and haunting, yet vulnerable and depressing. It also tells the story going on behind the main story, and how it ties in with the main story artistically and beautifully! But of course, the 1.000000001th place's prize was way better in my opinion, so maybe everything worked out fine :)

[knightfall66]

24 people have suckers luck.

[electrifizzle]

This was so much better than the sock puppet video!

[helcol14]

*sees the first place vid*

*sees this vid*

Me: FUCK SOCIETY

[saxoncola23]

The sock puppet made seperate accounts to dislike this

[SpOrEmAn890]

like if you saw "Gabe Newell" at 4:19

[djracab25]

i love how you used the comic for some parts

[djracab25]

fricken amazing

[iTouchV2]

My favorite by far

[davidpholtz]

for some reason this reminds me of the TAKE ON ME music video

[MrBloodyboy551]

0:48 The answer? > *crowbar* Gordon freeman: DAMNIT!

[charmen110]

23 people disliked the results

[Borisss1221]

cool

[knightfall66]

I can't believe that a freaken SOCK PUPPET won?!!!!

This is the TRUE first place no matter what anyone says.

[keggie09]

@knightfall66 The three that should have won would be.

1, this

2, the one made by the person who made the WANT YOU GONE music video.

3, the stop motion one that is in the suggestions.

[knightfall66]

@keggie09 Agreed.

[MrHedegaard92]

@knightfall66 It was The National themselves who chose the winner. The contest didn't have to be about Portal. But i think your right that one of these videos should have won.

[lotteje11]

amazing!

[Dirufan69]

Still think you should've won dammit >:| 

[jddimafx]

This is wonderful, no more need to say...

[helcol14]

Did Any1 Else See 'Freedom' At 2:46?

[MikeMov89Portal2]

@helcol14 lol, even I had to check that, I had forgotten about it :D

[helcol14]

@MikeMov89Portal2 it is abstract just like the portal storyline :D

[helcol14]

@MikeMov89Portal2 I put this on my playlist so i can listen to it daily

[TelephoneNinjas]

You didn't win cause Gabe Newell is trolling you

[TelephoneNinjas]

Did I just see the name Gabe Newell in there?!? XD I paused it and I did XD this video is amazing and should have won and is amazing but seeing Gabe in there made my day X3

[ArielCasq]

This had to win!!

its so fucking perfect!!

[TechieNJC]

As stupid as it is that this didn't win, you got a signed Portal 2 tote. That, in my opinion, was the better prize.

[RootBeerGirl151]

You Are AWESOME!!! I LOVE THIS!

[WhyDidIJustEatThat]

@WheatlyInSpace Wheatley, you are a moron.

[WhyDidIJustEatThat]

@WheatlyInSpace Wheatley, you are a moron.

[TheVelvetLou]

It's amazing О_О

[helcol14]

Valve is mad that you aren't working for them

I Can guarrantee that

[XepptizZ]

Yup, agree pretty much with everyone here. You should have won.

[JJtoob]

Whatever the price was for this video, IT ISN'T ENOUGH!

[nashbama]

Valve owes you a guitar, you were robbed. A ton of time and work went into this video and you did a fantastic job. Thanks.

[starpilot1241]

I like this one.

[jlmdfnbo]

This didn't win? What the fucking shit?

[RecycledClock]

Love the video, Love the song. Overall, i love it. Anyone else see Gabe Newell listed at a Testee?

[GrimInstincts]

pardon me but it's a joke that you didn't win.

[4elFROMEKB]

I want this song in .flac =(

[saxoncola23]

every day.

[saxoncola23]

I watch this

[triggerman652]

To me Portal 2 is just a visual metaphor used to demonstrate a humanity that has became far too advanced and is still very abusive in their present state. Their humanity's downfall could only be muched by the extreme impact and success of their greatest invetions. One of which started the whole problem....GLaDOS. The unfortunate and terrifying thing is that our humanity is becoming increasingly similar to that of Portal 2.

[saxoncola23]

I think you should have came 1st

[ILoveAnime250]

This is marvelous. I love it SO much.

[dnabitz1]

I made an account just to let you know what a fantastic job you did. I'll be adding this to facebook to show everyone else.

[MikeMov89Portal2]

@dnabitz1 Thanks :D

[alienspacenetwork]

a true love story, about a poor tormented man, seeking freedom of his one true love. And all she has to know of his existence, are the paintings this wise man has left. both in threat in fear of a corrupted memorial design.

[LadyMurderMaid]

Why, in the name of all thats good in righteous in the world DID THIS LOSE TO A FUCKING SOCK PUPPET?!

I've lost my faith in humanity...scratch that I never really had it to begin with.

[DearHunterFan15]

4:20 I just noticed in #4. LOL

[isprel221]

Epicness: Step 1: Mute this video. Step 2: open a new tab and look up Save Me by My Darkest Days. Step 3: Play them both together at the same time. Step 4: EPICNESS!

[TheArtsCountess]

I love this one way better than the actual winner. I actually had this idea myself, to sort of animate the Valve comics and Rattman drawings into a video. If I had the skill and programs to do so, I would have. I'm glad to see someone else thought of the idea too, I can see that it was a brilliant one.

[MsRrainey]

Win or not, this is truly amazing.

[TornaDoza]

it is a masterpiece... haven't been touched by a video in this way for years... and i did cry at the end, even though i read the comic. this is probably one of the most beautiful things i've seen in my life. thank you for your hard work.

[ixander3]

This video made me cry in the end. I don't even remember when I cried last time. It really touched me. Thank you.

[TheAhtassar]

FUCK TEH SOCK!!!

YOU RULE MAN!!!

[harlytrav]

According to the fans, you win. And that's all that matters. Don't stop making amazing stuff like this.

[StormCyberGalaxy]

WHY THE HECK DID VALVe PICK A VIDEO WITH A PROBABLY LAST MINUTE VIDEO WITH A SOCK PUPPET OVER THIS AMAZING VIDEO THAT ACTUALLY HAS TO DO WITH PORTAL 2?!?!?!?!? I MAD BRO!!!!! I MAD!!!!!

[Flameball967]

This is in approximate order of the ratman comic.....this video makes it seem like valve designed the comic to fit this song. This is beautiful.

[1kenny30]

MASTERPIECE *cries* XD

[98MermaidsReal]

Wow! This SOO shows the meaning of the song a LOT more than the sock puppet dude.... How did that guy win anyways???? This is SOO much more interesting!

[Darkarmy5679]

YOU GUYS HE WON NOT THE SOCK PUPPET 1ST PLACE IS 3RD 2ND PLACE IS well second :p AND 1.0000000000000000.1 is first

[TehRavenclaww]

The sock puppet was boring. This is so much more interesting and RELATED TO PORTAL. Why make a Portal contest if you pick a winner that has nothing to do with Portal?

[climb2moon]

@TheSman515 ... 2nd is bigger than 1st too, so no.

[Virzy7]

4:18 Gabe Newell, a test subject?

Might have some interesting results.

[TheSman515]

Umm didn't this *technically* win, cuz 1.00000000000000000001 is bigger than 1

Also I would rather have a messenger bag from Aperture than a guitar

[NeverForgottenNemo]

Jesus, I ALWAYS get all emotional when Rattmann comes out into the sunshine. Perfect. This is just too great. And you are great. You should feel great.

[maxbarrass1]

@vigtigyou2uber Actualy you are wright. If you look closely at the end, in one of the doorway's where all the turrets are (not sure but it might be the one with the frankenturret) you will see a shadow of a man carrying a cube.

[zaharius69]

the best one...

[tehboxnoobs]

If you look closely, you can see it says Tenacity at 0:32. XD

[TheSoulfire111]

ratman was a pretty good artist o.o

[MatthewDavison89]

Fucking Wicked , Fuck Off Sock Puppet !!!!!!

[brickmaster199691]

I ow you a hug if anything... ive always loved this song and well.... its just amazing

[InsaneXaW]

Multitrip7 video was better by far than this.

But, hey, this is good too.

[dawgalova]

*See's Winner Video* *See's This video*

....

....

....

I DON'T WANT TO LIVE ON THIS PLANET ANYMORE

[samtrix08]

@dawgalova Exactly!

*sets nuclear bomb off... in canada...*

[whoah1988]

I do not agree with all the Sock Puppet bashing. Beautifully shot, very artistic. But hey, they're both great, however totally different.

[Beanbag1982]

Wow. Yes, the sock puppet video was nice . . . but this video absolutely blows the "winner" out of the water. Congratulations, this is a video to be proud of!

[asdfgirl83]

how could the sock puppet win over this!? it's The National's fault!! (they were the ones that picked the winner)

[MarkBDavenport]

the sock puppet was good, but this was BETTER!

[blackdevil3005]

You got robbed

[MrKevinsaid]

did nobody else notice the graffiti that said 3?, :O

[Harpomarx1459]

THIS SHOULD HAVE WON DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iGriffin23]

A retarded dude with glasses with a sock stuck on his hands won over this?

[plank107]

stupid sock puppet...this must've taken forever and it deserved to win. your a winner in my eyes

[elronman]

anyone see the test list at 4:19 and see gabe newell? oh wait...

[CherryCokeMeister]

Check Test Subject Number 4.

Gabe Newell.

[jackTHErampage]

the sock puppet one was funny but it was stupid this took heeps of time and effeort to create

[jlsuau]

Best ever...

[praetormarching]

this certainly should have gotten 1st. I love it. Now we all know why Chell doesn't wear socks. I say throw the sock into the Aperture Emergency Intelligence Incinerator where it belongs.

[tehboxnoobs]

I get it! Guys! They gave this guy second so he could get something better than a guitar! Don't hate, valve just can't publicly state this was better!

[PowerfullPC]

THIS SHOU:LD'VE GOTTEN 1st PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!

[lifeinpinkbags]

I LOVE THIS. you are amazing. truly amazing

[kglew2011]

I'm very sorry that you didn't win. I guess that The National wants their videos to not reference Portal. That's my guess, because it looks like you did a lot of hard work. The sock puppet video wasn't even properly "lip-synched" in spots.

[DangerousMuteLunatic]

Fucking amazing...

[tampusfe]

its So Beautiful Sniff.....Sniff..... It made me cry :")

[326vincent]

Solo una palabra.... Sublime.

[QKuKier]

I'm sorry for you not winning...this animation made me cry T_T

[The1AndOnlyMike]

I just saw the winner and... how did that win over this? Seriously? This is esentially a video version of the Portal: Lab rat comic and it's obvious great care and an amazing amount of effort went into this. But a sock puppet won over this. A sock puppet.

[DerpBox]

HOW THE HELL DIDN'T THIS WIN?!

WHO COULD LIKE SOCK PUPPETS MORE THEN THIS?!

...

I am inraged.

[Litto96]

My God... I can't explain how this song... My God.

[vigtigyou2uber]

I don't think Rattmann died, i think we will see more of him in Portal 3!

Still, insanely moving video

[TACOJ8893]

hauntingly beautiful

[DrMadHobo]

The sock puppet thing sucked dick

This? Amazing, don't let that contest bring you down, keep this shit going.

[loose190]

Just beautiful, congrats on the prize!

[lolanator2142]

i wonder what shit they were smoking to choose a puppet over this

[Riipalein]

One word: awesome

[aquamarinexeyes]

this is absolutely stunning and truly beautiful.

[Abima3lxd]

sniff :( sublime

[DeathAngleful]

You make Ratman look hot xD

[HolyZambiesBatman]

This deserves 1st place!!!!

[stickman11112222]

Did anyone else see the crowbar as the answer at 0:49? 'Cause I did.

[ekrem1618]

This is Best!

[MsDarkLow]

21 people can't get portal 2 free

[froguins]

Amazing! Totally Amazing! SPEECHLESS AMAZING!

You should have come in first!

Amazing, amazing, AMAZING!

[Lovisargh]

Marry me?

[rattlesnakeCdla]

This is a great video. I'm just surprised that there can be so much animosity and butthurt surrounding the competition. Portal was a fun game, the competition produced a lot of fun videos, why can't we get along and have fun? Keep up the good work, kid. I like that you didn't stoop to the competition bashing that so many fans have, that's real class.

[AetherDash]

Not sure how you didn't get first place. The other video was a guy in a coat walking around with a sock puppet and a "vintage" filter on his camera. Your's is beautiful, artistic, and it tells the tragic story of Doug Rattman in a way that exemplifies his schizophrenia and personal demons.

[RenShredder]

this clearly should be the winner. really great video, and i'm looking forward to you making more videos!

[DcmetaxXtreme]

Words fail me.

[stormpengy]

Deserves more views and recognition. I preferred this over the first Exile Vilify, simply because it's strongly relevant to portal 2, and illustrated in a perfect wait. It's beautiful.

[stormpengy]

@stormpengy I meant way, not wait. :P

[franciscojavierm]

The video is too awesome, it must be declared the official video of Portal 2, enjoy your cool bag I wouldn't change it for a guitar.

[maxtherulerrobloxian]

This really got to my heart at the end when he died. :'(
