Harry101UK- Portal

Harry Callaghan (Harry101UK) is an animator from London, in the UK (as implied by his username). I first saw one of his videos a couple of years ago, entitled This Is Aperture (2012). A series of music videos based upon the game series Portal, This Is Aperture was the first I saw.

- Animated using Garry's Mod, a game on Steam.
   - All assets were created to resemble those from the game Portal.
   - Video edited in Premiere Pro CS5.
   - Music created in Reason 5.
- The music was composed as a parody of This Is Halloween from Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas (1993).
- Since making this music video, he has been involved in a community project on Steam creating Portal Stories: Mel (2015) which is a free mod developed for use with Portal 2, available on Steam.
   - Created by Prism Studios
      - Lpfreaky90, lead on Aperture Valentine
      - LoneWolf2056, creator of Dilapidation and Reconstruction
      - TMast98, project lead for the Winter Testing Initiative and others
      - MissStabby, co-creator for The Gary Hudston Project & animations
      - Lamarr, creator of Portal 2: Reprecussions
      - Dr. Doozer, voice actor in 1187, Cry of Fear, and Underhell
      - Harry101UK, creator of many Portal 2-themed songs and animations 
      - DragonNOR, the voice of many indie games

- Using different iconic characters/items from the series, Callaghan provides different aspects of the story, making it an easy introduction for people who are new to the series, and able to enjoy as a standalone feature.
- Songs have been present as part of the Portal series in the form of the ending credits, with  Still Alive and Want You Gone closing off Portal 1 and 2, respectively.
   - Although this is a nice way to round off the games, and a fun pay-off to the stories, it is very much out of character for GlaDOS (the main antagonist of the series) to sing, as she is portrayed as a rather sadistic character, often cruel and randomly insulting.
