I don't know what to put here lol, I'm just glad I finished a project that I've put off for half a year, and ending up with something I'm proud of.

There's some editing mistakes in the video, but I'm not about to rerender for another 13 hours just to fix a few seconds of video :')
Like around 14 minutes when I say "compensation," I meant "compromise," because, as it turns out, English is my first language

"Wheatley" is a character made by Valve™, voiced by Stephen Merchant.
All sound effects were added afterwards.
Voicelines from Portal 2 and TF2's APSAP.

Disclaimers:
All music in video is original, except for the ending song which is an unused track for TF2's MVM by Mike Morasky.

Nothing in this video is sponsored (i.e shops/products).

This wasn't meant to be a tutorial, it began as just me documenting my progress, but I thought it would be cool if I detailed my thought process with a narrative :) So don't take my crafting methods as gospel or definitive 'cause I don't know much.

I'm aware it's unfortunate timing to be posting about an inherently robot character during a justified workers strike against AI, and I don't want anyone to think that this video is some sort of subliminal message. I've been proworker since Wham! and I will never support anything AI. But Wheatley is a choccymilk video game character, and video game characters are 100% cooler and more hep than real machines. Thank you for your time.

(also, please don't reupload this video to other medias like TikTok or Twitter, other Youtubers have been plagued with unwanted reuploadation recently, but i've been paranoid forever, so what's new lol. I've uploaded this video to Steam myself, so don't freak out if you see it there :D )
