Portrait

I was able to get access to a webcam recently, and thought some of you might find this comparison interesting. I've seen some comments for Freeman's Mind saying how my voice doesn't sound like how they think Freeman's should, well at I at least look the part:





It's not exact, but Freeman has about 2 years on me, plus he's fictional. Anyway, work is progressing on the next Civil Protection episode and I'm hoping to have another Freeman's Mind episode before the end of the month.

EDIT: I don't think I'll have a new FM episode out by March afterall, but only because I'm working on the next CP episode.

I gotta say that you are almost spot on! Get some thicker glasses and the Hazard suit with a crowbar and your set!

Did you know that the graphics designer who designed Gordon Freeman gave his own face to him. For one moment i thought it was you ... funny thing.

I agree That you have a resemblence to him. But you know what, if there is ever a Half-life movie, Think Aaron Stanford or "Pyro" from the X-Men movies could play the part of Freeman. He especially looked like him when he played Doug Bukowski in
"The Hills Have Eyes"

DemonicPumpkin said...

Also after closly examining the portrait I have to say you look more like Freeman, but the thing the you and Aaron don't have is the nose and the green eyes

akuyume said...

That's just about scary. If there's ever a movie like bursoft said, you should try to apply for that part! LOL.

wigglepie said...

I can't tell which is which! Awesome
Good luck on the videos, looking forward to the next installments
:D

Impressive, if you told me that Valve used your portrait to design Freeman, I'd believe you without a doubt.

on fm episode 3, after the ,erm,, experiment goes rong and frreeman is teleportd to the circle with the aliens, he says "who r u? NO, i dont wanna be a -----" WHAT does he say, "SKITZAFRANK is wat poped in my head, plz anser bak im confused........

Ross Scott said...

It's "schizophrenic", a person with a type of psychological disorder. I understand no one on Youtube can spell this word.

Basically the idea is that what he's experiencing is so crazy, one conclusion he's coming to is that maybe he has schizophrenia.

Anonymous said...

Great video. I expected the 3rd video to be very good, but this is beyond allmy expectations.

Could not help to note that there are 4 types of schizophrenia (although there is some debate about it)

Undifferentiated, Catatonic, Disorganized and Paranoid.


I would say that flashing pictures and random monster would put him into a Disorganized category, although the rationality is closer to Paranoid.

Yah.. My Introduction to Psychology class is paying for itself. Although I am learning to be a Physicist.

Anonymous said...

thx for that, wer was confused

Anonymous said...

That's just straight up crazy. Next you're gonna get a girlfriend that looks just like Alyx (I'm not sure that's the name) and move to New Mexico.

Congratulations on winning the Nerdy-Genetic lottery.

Anonymous said...

Holy crumb! If I didn't know any better I would say those pictures had to be photoshopped. Bring out the trusty crowbar and next we may have a full-scale alien invasion!

Anonymous said...

Wow... You look almost exactly like him. I suppose the main reason people think Freeman's voice is different than your's is because they assume he's got a badass action hero voice, and while he is a badass, people should remember he's a physicist. Albeit a physicist that's handy with all manner of firearms, but still, a physicist. If you were stuck in the situations he goes through, wouldn't you complain a bit too? I think you're doing a great job with CP and FM, keep up the good work!

jonhawkes said...

u lack the badassness

Ciaran said...

The graphics desginer may have givvenhis face to freeman, but about 3 other faces were mixed in.

Ross Scott said...

ciaran: Actually you're wrong. There was no editing done to the picture, that's how I look. I admit that I did cheat and try to align my head at the same angles as Freeman however.

Milquetoast said...

Holy crap, that's awesome. Do you have a girlfriend? ;)

Ross Scott said...

Emily: Ha, no, but I'm looking more like Guy Fawkes this days.
