Music I wrote for Shork's latest TF2 video!

In which we (me, Shork and Altranade) reimagine what Meet The Spy could've been based on Dennis Bateman's long-lost spy takes :O

TF2 updated so I'm taking this post out of drafts:

The TF2 Mercs are a part of the internet equivalent of the commedia dell'arte stock characters. Being automatically included in Source derivative software such as SFM and GMod, they're very easily available as premade rigs for amateur animators to use in their works. The simple, cartoony, and discernible designs make them very easy to read at any angle, which although originally used to be easily read in a competitive gaming environment, translates well to comedy skits. Unlike similar games such as Overwatch, where they're practically over-designed in a very definite artstyle, TF2 characters are lacking in accessories as a default. Generally wearing simple single color jackets, t-shirts and pants. In fact, the varied nature of TF2's cosmetic system makes them perfect as dress-up dolls, making it very easy to reuse the same base model and differentiate between them.

That brings me to their characterization. Even though most if not all have pretty well defined backstories and narratives, outlined in the supplementary media of comics and Meet the Videos, their baseline personalities can be easily transplanted into various skits and narratives with minimal introduction. Scout is a cocky jackass. Soldier is a dimwitted, overly patriotic American. Heavy is simultaneously soft-spoken and boisterous Russian who revels in violence. These simple yet understood personalities mean you can bypass proper character introductions by identifying who's in what role from the start, similar to the archetypes from the aforementioned commedia dell'arte.

You don't even have to be a fan of tf2 to grasp these roles. The ubiquity of SFM as free 3d animation software is a self supporting introduction. If you are unfamiliar with tf2's narrative, simply consuming a handful of these animations can get you up to speed.

Simultaneously, TF2's narrative is just as batshit as the fan animations that are inspired by it. You could certainly use other valve properties for similar reasons regarding animation accessibility, but TF2 embracing comedy from the start and the simple insanity of its characters means you can transport them to a wider array off stories while asking for a much smaller suspension of disbelief.

A Half Life animation is far more likely to be about Half Life than any given TF2 animation is about TF2. Many of them are, but way more are simply not.

TF2 as a property has a lot of staying power. 16 years now and even with minimal support from valve, it still soldiers on (pun intended) as a significant part of internet meme culture. I find it's notoriety akin to Hatsune Miku, where they're given a second life outside of the purpose of their original creation. They're less FPS characters, and more little dolls novice animators smack together for the entertainment of others.

And at the end of the day that's almost all it really takes. A significant slice of media engagement and fan works for the internet at large could not care less about Canon or the main narrative, even if its well regarded, because the biggest draw for many is simply taking strong personalities and putting them in funny situations. It's why incorrect quotes are absolutely everywhere despite the fact that a good 80% of them do not fit the original characters one bit. Meanwhile, TF2 as a property actively encourages it.

The following are all fan animations that have jack shit to do with each other or the original canon--be it in game, the original animations, or expanded comics--and yet they're still ultimately cohesive as these little shorts that play with the cast as archetypes, with their own recognizable appearances and roles. (Tucked behind Keep Reading to save space)

It's a shame I don't post more of my SFM works here more often. I'm really proud of how they look sometimes. Here's a street view!

This poster came from the idea that, since lots sfm fnaf animations usually use scout as the night guard, wouldn't stuffing him into his robot counterpart make more visual sense? So I decided to make some art around the idea, with the animatronics successfully stuffing scout into a suit, but he realizes that it ain't all that bad.

wow, would you look at that, an entire movie length source film maker video, with multiple horrifying things in it as it is a good horror film, without any jumpscares, while also likely able to be seen as an offical thing from valve, that has great plot, as well as mildly follow team fortress 2 lore, as well as full voice acting that is pretty accurate to the mercenaries voices, while featuring the spy, scout, medic, heavy, soldier, sniper, demoman, engineer, as well as featuring extra characters in tf2, like civilian, redmond and bluemond, while also have attention to detail, lip syncing, multiple models of the same character when they are harmed in any way, while only using sounds the mercs make in game a couple of times, as well as models for multiple clothings for the mercs, high quality particle effects, and background models, wow, how cool, all this in a free video, with under a million views, wow, would you look at this, its quite neat, how cool 

#wat #what the fuck #how do you do this????? #how the fuck do you do this????? #there was only like 5 people who worked on this and made it in like 4 years?????? #what the fuck how do you do this kind of high quality shit thats fucking awesome #fucking watch this shit its good as fuck #its like a god dam horror movie #please for the love of god watch this #tf2 #team fortress 2 #sfm #18+ for swore #tf2 sfm #team fortress 2 sfm video #tf2 sfm video #team fortress 2 source film maker #source film maker #team fortress 2 source film maker video #im legit taking this cuz this shit should be fucking watched to hell #this deserves as many views as heavy is dead
