Practical Problems [SFM]

The music featured is Any Trash Professor Abacus by the Torpedo Boyz

As many of you may know I've been pretty busy as of late. But after getting an infected foot I had a bit of free time. I had a plan to do this video since TF2 first came out but I wanted to wait for Source Filmmaker to go official. 130 hours in SFM and Hammer later, here it is. As my foot healed I was getting less and less time to work on it. So I got it to a point where I was happy and just shut it down. It has it's flaws but it was a case of release now or never.

The animation work i did is pretty janky, i'm still learning a lot of this.
Most of it is kinect mo cap of myself and Zach. I barely touched it afterwards for clean up, mostly only the head and hands.

I like how the engineers' emotions are based on the angle their hard hats are tipped.

"As long as there are two people on this earth, someone is gonna want someone dead."
*Nuke kills everyone but sniper*

[agentc]

Realistically that sniper at the end would have stayed scoped in, oblivious to everything around him

[Wheagg]

I wondered if he would have enough time in an actual game.

Then I remembered it was 2fort

[kylesnider]

I love how that engineer could sit down and casually eat a Sandvich during the middle of a war.

[qfdulcz]

Legend has it that the red engie has still not eaten the sandvich

[DatBoiChucklez]

Love how rather than send the spy to kill the other Engie, blue Engie just has him distract the other Engie while he kills him.

[MythicBeanProductions]

This is so accurate of when you're "fighting" another engine main. You just ask your team to mess with them while you sit behind lol

[MAACOG]

That music choice is just insanely perfect.

It's been 6 years since I saw this tf2 SFM video. I remember how realistic it looked. Back when gmod videos were popular, this was a game changer. Gotta say, the editing aged really well.

[Gloverfield]

And everything is because soldier couldn't aim...

[ldwiyrhbldwi]

Engie is the nice uncle who is oddly scary whenever he find out something that you think could make him absolutely angry, but when you meet him during it, he's weirdly calm, which is most scary.

[domino]

I feel like this perfectly encapsulates how actual opposing engineers feel about each other. They almost never actually confront each other so they almost feel like being friendly to each other, then they just scream at their team behind the scenes to screw with the other one.






What? That's how I feel as an engie main, at least...

[midas]

4 years later and this animation is still fun to watch.

[korogami]

This is the rightful example of the meme

“And I took it personally.”

[zck]

All these years later, still holds up.
Also the music for this is just perfect. James McVinnie is a good animation director.

[tvna]

4:07 rare video of PabloGonzales2007 unsocoping for the first time in 20 years

[spiffy]

The fact that blu engineer managed to get to reds battlements without dying just to melee red engine is hard to believe

[sanuku]

That Red engi is like.
"Random crits are fair and balanced".

[mikedoesstuff]

4:21 we have officially changed the map 2Fort to 0Fort
