Portal - This Is Aperture (Remake)

A 10-year anniversary remake of This Is Aperture; a Portal parody inspired by Tim Burton and Danny Elfman's 'This Is Halloween' song. All the animation and scenes were recreated from the ground-up in Source 2, all the voices re-recorded, and the music remastered. Overall, about 3 months of work went into this, but it was a really fun project to revisit! ;)

I cannot believe it has been 10 years since the original video was made. How time flies! I can't thank you all enough for the support and following along on this strange ride called Youtube. Thank you all. ^_^

The song is available at all the usual places!

I love how everyone is so excited about Harry's vid's that as of writing this comment it has been mere seconds since this video was posted and there was already 60+ comments posted of excitement

Wheatley's just bopping along to the tune. Love it!

[xABADCAFE]

Wheatley's voice is absolutely nailed

[DanielTGaming]

I love how much fuller this mix is compared to the original. While the OG will still have a special spot in my heart, I can't deny how much more impressive this version is.

It's sorta insane looking at his SFM playtime and seeing 9000 hours, that's an actual year in SFM, really shows his dedication to his craft across the decade.

"I am the head of this great place..." this is now very literal if you've seen desk job

[AquaAtia]

Cave saying he is the HEAD of this great place really foreshadowed the latest Aperture game.

Also good to see this brought back from my early years on the Internet!

[ComicalRealm]

This isn't a remake edition, this is a masterpiece edition

[boblarry]

Imagine if "Making Science" was remastered like this😯. That would be on another level. Great job on this remaster, truly deserving of the term.

[stellevi]

I can’t stop gushing about how extraordinary the lighting and reflections are in this video!

[krisbies]

1:56 I don't know why, but the "testing subjects usually die" part gives me absolute CHILLS every time I hear it. Amazing work!

[reneelatendre]

The turret that says “RUN!” sounds much more panicked than in the original same deal with Wheatley saying “NOW!”

[springenplay]

It's so strange, when you listen to this after hours of listening the original

[windiix]

1:16 Jesus Christ, that "Run!" is so good 😭 Glad to see a piece of my childhood coming back;;;

[kavyagupta]

GlaDOS's eye, turret new body, and all rusty details of the podium of the button is so detailed !!! Love it !

[TheKaiser]

My man's impersonations of all the characters is so on point, I unironically thought he got the official VAs on for this until about halfway through.

[enderjed]

Now this is completely unexpected.
Also an incredible showcase of improvement.

[epiceaston]

1:41 can we all appreciate the transition between the new aperture in the old aperture it is so seamless great work easily my favorite part of the video

[enderwalkgang]

I love the crisp airy delicate nature to the voices, it makes the voices that are in motion, in a rush in hurry seem like they carefully choose their words like their tipping toeing almost

[raflamar]

The remake we all needed, and finally got.
