The animated Short "Operation Barbershop" by Blender Foundation, was a huge inspiration and motivation for this project, and we admit to repurpose some of the shots. to help us create something grand.

[@sigsourr]

Yeah that one scene where spy unboxes the unusual and gets whacked in the face was taken right out of operation barber shop. But it still works! Nice job man, props to you

[@mustashfan1o198]

I did not notice until I saw the animation, embarrassing...

[@EyeCandryMovies]

aight cool

[@sourcepotato_bwobby]

I was just about to say it's like that.

[@Kostamoinen]

Superb work, all of you!

[@EyeCandryMovies]

thanks Kos c:

[@GooglyGazer]

Much obliged :>

[@orbitaloutcast9878]

*Poof you are cool too*

[@HoovyTube]

This is my favorite entry out of all saxxies out there. Fighting animation is the hardest shit ever and you managed to pull up some of the best choreography i have ever seen. Not to mention the pacing and jokes are just fantastic. Keep bumping the lamp guys, while no one bothers

[@EyeCandryMovies]

I tend to bump into lamps when its dark. thank you for the kind words Hoovy lad c:

[@HoovyTube]

thank YOU for the best comedy entry of all the time

[@wolfalberto]

Thanks fam! Really appreciated! :D

[@DarkHood]

As a spy main, that moment at 2:05 was long overdue!

[@boeloevanboeloefontein]

Yup!

[@aye9903]

Dark Hood payback time! >:)

[@Jova_38]

2:04 The spy finally got his revenge after meet the soldier.

[@AnonymousNorm]

No Blu spy was hit with the shovel, red spy was just copying him

[@Jova_38]

Muhammad salim Still a spy

[@czechcountryball984]

@@AnonymousNorm they're still spy so it doesn't matter

[@Masterlegodude]

1:28 Eyy, it's the knife model that me and my friend made! Don't worry about crediting it though, it's just amusing and also kind of flattering that people still use those kitchenware props despite all the other models that exist by now :)

[@EyeCandryMovies]

I couldnt find the workshop link i think i got it from a friend, :c those props are superb man, you'll never know how useful they can be ! :D

[@martystu900]

2:04 The frying pan always crits

[@aromedia4318]

That fight scene was brilliantly animated and the ending had me in a good laugh, great job!

[@EyeCandryMovies]

'preciate it m8

[@WaterDroplet02]

2:05 normally the Soldier would be shoveling the Spy, but it seems the tables have turned.

[@Mittens...]

The entries this year have so many great fight scenes. I fucking love them

[@taste5728]

2:04 nice Meet The Soldier Reference

[@wolfalberto]

Nice to see that someone got it ;)

[@greenlemon9155]

0:51 is my favorite :p

[@anyarr]

Nice catch! 0:52 and/or 0:59 _might_ be a Meet the Spy reference too, but if so it's definitely not as obvious, so it might just be a coincidence.

[@CappTF]

wolfalberto what i like most about it is that the original video has the soldier hitting the spy, and here it's the other way around

[@sillypiegamer1010]

Spy finally take revenge of being shovel'd on his face by Soldier

[@HellishSpoon]

There are so many good sfms lately!

[@SwecrafterSlom]

HELL SPOON obviously

[@asultanies]

ikr

[@Liz_Caingcoy]

Really like this one! great work!

[@EyeCandryMovies]

eyyy! thanks Cally, so glad you liked it :D

[@wolfalberto]

Hey! Thanks for checking it out :D

[@nicoleyentnder3701]

I love the evil face spy makes when he throws the soda cans at soldier

[@wolfalberto]

This animation looks amazing! I hope you'll win guys!

[@GooglyGazer]

You're a cheeky one aren't ya

[@EyeCandryMovies]

you too guy!

[@tf2dove]

holy crap that fight scene! this'll be a winner for sure. fantastic work.

[@DONKINDONUTS]

The scene after the fight is what really sets this above every other entry so far. There are so many details in Spy's movement, facial expression, and the scene in general that I had to rewatch it a couple times just to pick it apart and really appreciate all the attention to detail. Bravo!

[@FanicAnimations]

W O W

[@JJGoldFalconTHELEGENDOFGOLD]

Gotta love the meet the soldier reference. That was perfect.

[@elijahbrown3096]

The spy in the beginning of the sfm: Aw, yes, a nice glass of blood

[@red-hot]

That burning flames team captain moment reminded me of the lost ark briefly appearing in a broken crate from Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull.

[@roberthunter6122]

I applaud this. This was very good, animation wasn't to soft, very fast paced, I loved how he just freaked grabbed the pan and just smacked the soldier in the face. Really amazing.

[@MiaGoddangMiaw]

That little homage/reference to Meet the Soldier was amazing. Fantastic work on this!

[@mydongboy]

Gotta give a hand to the smooth, dynamic and fast-paced action sequences. Excellent work to those involved!

[@feverdreams17]

This was a great short film, the fight choreography and bits of humor throughout were great! Though if there's one trope I notice in a lot of SFM centered around a spy, it's the Dead Ringer. I see why it's used, but see in so many animations makes me roll my eyes just a bit. The end before the fade to black on the other hand made for a very funny ending too. Gives me hope for a sequel.

[@jecksfoxofficial]

It was so long ago.. Now i realized what we missed after valve stops doing animation contests

[@Turgineer]

The final scene is just like: The first time you get enemy intelligence with the Spy and realize you can't be invisible or disguised.

[@entothechesnautknight1762]

Damn, this might be the best 1 on one fight in the SFMs! Definitely got my vote.

[@artificialgravitas8954]

Mann, the Entries have risen to ridiculous levels this year!

[@StoryTeller796]

And the Spy couldn't Dead Ringer his way out of that last one? Fair. Cool animation! =)

[@michellekrause2783]

Nice action, fluent animation, and the movement felt like it had weight A job well done

[@Edge666]

YOUR ANIMATIONS ARE SO GREAT AAAAAA Also I hope you lot win XD

[@unactivechannel007]

Nice Agent 327 reference.

[@b3nl555]

2:05 the tables have turned soldier

[@Fwooooooom]

YO THIS IS AMAZING THE DEAD RINGER, TRANSITIONS, EVEN THE MEET THE SOLDIER REFERENCE!!!!

[@SunSpectates]

I see this man watch Agent 327: Operation Barbershop. I see why you got inspired by it. You are a good animator. I see the similarities between both animations with the two spies both being smashed into something. And the similar spy clique. Nice work :D

[@anyarr]

Extremely well done. Animation is very smooth, music fits great, lighting is nice, plot is exciting.

[@MelancholicBubblegum]

Amazing! Also, that team captain on the spy makes me wish he could wear it ingame.

[@2lazyt378]

He got a sandvich, some top secret documents, some wine, and an unusual... What a hual.

[@mrcomp1971]

I slowly realised that this was inspired by the video Agent 327: Operation Barbershop. And while reading the description and your comment, holy shit, it is! Awesome SFM entry!

[@Belisimoo]

mrcomp I saw you on a GermanPeter video a few minutes ago!

[@dralliw7790]

One of the very few sfm's with a great fight scene.

[@benlevitt5017]

This is extremely well-made

[@LegitamateToaster]

the spy at work, i love the animation to bits, and like the switch-a-roo at the send with the pan ;3

[@skaarfgmdbossvx3722]

2:04 in "Meet the soldier" soldier did this to spy, *so spy did this to soldier too*

[@anonymous_24_7]

Amazing work! Really loved the dedication you put into this!

[@SkyeVolt]

2:37 vac pyros: STOP RIGHT THERE WE GOT U SURROUNDED!! for using 2 different invise watches at the same time

[@LineX240]

Very creative, original ideas, great animation

[@anas6372]

Fucking amazing, I seriously hope you win. Best one I've seen so far.

[@ethynwarren9244]

I love that ending!

[@fishingtoncookie]

That fight scene was amazing. Great work!

[@cursedaz]

[@satisfiedghost6113]

[@lorenzonaves8381]

That meet the soldier reference, I loved it

[@1classikai]

I could watch this all day

[@LuphBR]

Whoa, this was awesome :o

[@BaconScout42]

Looks amazing! you got my vote

[@cuppa_moon]

that bit when spy hit soldier with the pan, it reminds me a lot of soldier hitting spy with a shovel in meet the soldier

[@luizluca8160]

Moral of the history: You can't have Burning Team Captain without paying.

[@GooglyGazer]

Leeets goo!

[@thehappiestmask8751]

When Spy panned that Soldier like he did several years ago

[@96lumina]

1:20 QUICK! DEFEND YOURSELF WITH BONK

[@tieger1313]

It's like watching in-game cutscene from 2007.

[@athena9288]

That's mah dadduuu

[@isjosh8524]

Fantastic work on this. I am making my decisions on who I think are the saxxy winners for me and this is going to be a contestant on my little game show.

[@Steaky]

I got some high-hopes for you guys. Good luck!

[@wolfalberto]

Thanks! :D

[@chimpmcmonkeyman551]

My man spy here taking a vintage wine and hoovies sandvich

[@BallMuncher555]

[@bassault]

Absolutely excellent

[@SpookerstheSpoo]

This is fantastic! Great job.

[@StuffedSFM]

[@lyricjam39]

[@unluckycatfish6866]

[@greenlemon9155]

[@ticklemedickson269]

[@mako_happy]

[@Atari8888]

[@KeywordTypo]

this is why the team captain should go all class

[@LordOsnap]

Very good!

[@FranboiseSenpai]

Well... at least Spy got an unusual !

[@teleportedbreadfor3days]

This seems too open to not have some kind of part two. But despite that, awesome job!

[@JTmachine13]

Awesome...

[@ohra4823]

great work!

[@Wolf0300]

That frypan crit

[@Luksed12]

Loved it!

[@robertmihai2023]

this...is art. and according to the video dead ringer gives u a boost before activating and why the spy didnt used the disguise kit if he used the enforcerer...but besides that this is my favourite saxxy video from this year

[@spookmaster0057]

Original plan: CoD Strats by King Raja Actual result: How every game of 2Fort plays out.
