(( Thank you, Newgrounds, for the Daily 5th, front page and very encouraging reviews! :D ))
(( A weekly third? I am deeply honored. Thank you everyone. :D ))
This is a music video I created for Valve's Music Video competition that ended more than a month ago.
Needless to say, I didn't turn it on in time. But oh well.
I finished it a couple weeks after the competition was over.
The due date was July 15th. I finished it August 6th. ._.
I had it uploaded to youtube weeks before today but have been wondering whether I should upload it to Newgrounds or not. Well, I decided to do so.
Using a combination of Stop-Motion Animation, Live-Action footage and After Effects, this music video was possible. (Special thanks again to my mother for creating the costume for my puppet.)
Hope you guys enjoy this video as much as I have enjoyed making it.
(PS: Thank you for Valve for holding to allow me to be inspired to create this video. Continue to make awesome games guys! (Like they're ever gonna read this...))

Good music, but crappy claymation...
I don't really get what you were trying to accomplish here. Sure, the music is great, but this was basically a guy running through a bunch of hallways and pushing a button.
I think you are reading waaayyyy too much into the game. It was supposed to be a funny and challenging game... Yet you basically made a claymation fanfic of it.
The 3 is for the music, but this isn't really anything great. Try watching it with your speakers turned off, and you will see what I mean.
There's a reason why it's a music video.
I created this music video with the visuals in mind, meaning the music is supposed to be accompanied by the video. Not all music videos are like this but I had a specific story in mind which was based off of a web comic called "Lab Rat" released by VALVe themselves that covers the "Rat Man" part of the story in Portal. (You'll be able to find it in Portal's official site.)
Yes, the story is simple. No, it's not funny and or challenging. But for you to call it crappy shows you didn't even try to get into the atmosphere of the story and the mood the music sets up. (And you clearly do not know the amount of work that was invested in the creation of this or any animation.)
I really hope you give this video a try again after you think about it. Or heck, play through Portal and Portal 2 again because there are lots of hidden things that adds to the depth of the story and the atmosphere of the game. Or read through that webcomic and then give this video a try.
If you do, and still feel the same, well I gave it a try to make you think in a different way. If you don't do anything that I suggested you do, it's your loss because Portal is more than just a game where you solve puzzles and hearing GLaDOs, Wheatley and Cave Johnson talk. (Though that is a huge part of the appeal) There's an underlying current of backstory that Valve intentionally put there for Fans to discover and think about.

I rarely write a review of anything, but....
This video deserved one. It is amazing. The style is beautiful, and it fits the song so perfectly. This would have done so fantastically in the video contest. you said that you finished it August 6th, how long did it take you to work on it? I am in absolute awe, and have shown this to quite a few of my friends. I would like to say i was blown away by the combination of styles together giving it unique feel, just like the game, to which I say it pays a glorious homage to. Def one of my favorites.
