@GGMAN When he said "we have a traitor" soldier means that they were in cahoots. Although there is a good reason he didn't shoot both spies, this is not it. After all, you can see the mask on the spy for your own team, so he knew which was which. I forgot to include the reason my bad: It's simply that he wanted to hear what they had to say before doing what (i'm guessing kicking out of the team) he would've done.

[@moony_otter]

A scarily realistic rendition of depression caused by antisocialism and loneliness. I've felt a lot of these things myself; the mistakes brought on by trying to detach, the demotivation to put in any effort, the tuning out of anything and everything, the emptiness, having zero happiness from things that usually bring you joy, the staying up for hours merely contemplating life itself; all of these feelings are captured perfectly. And I think the silence during Soldier's speech is a lot louder than any audio that could have been included. Incredible, and a good showcase of how to respond to an isolative person who's going through a rough time. Peeps just need a little positivity thrown their way from time to time, even if brief. Awesome :)

[@Lolbet22]

[@philardo]

Your comment kinda contextualises the heavy figure, on his night stand When scout arrives at the spawn, he's generally met with megativity. Pyro is the odd one out, happy to see scout, but he's childish with no real priorities, so it might not mean that much and engineer can tell something's off, but he doesn't say anything But Heavy, who's much more emotionally mature, is smiling at scout, it seems like he's sincerely happy to see him and to someone who feels depressed, that probably means the world, so he keeps a memento of him There's probably more to it, but that's what I took away from that

Yeah. I was smiling so hard on the while scene. That Kazotsky dance + tf2 characters with good voice-lines makes it so, so good. A perfect ending and an excellent scene to come back if feeling down

[@layton5229]

I know this SFM is great and all, but this guy is more genius than what's on the surface. During the night scene, the times on the phone represent timestamps on the video. 0:57 is when scout glances at his phone. However, at the timestamp 0:57, Scout also glances at his phone. Before Scout picks up the gun, the clock says 3:08. At that timestamp, Scout gets shot in the head. While Scout has a gun up against his head, time passes from 4:12, to 4:25. This is exactly the same time the Soldier was beating down on Scout, and also lasts long enough for Heavy to give him a worried look, when during the finale, he is the first to start dancing. Finally, when the alarm goes off at 8:00, Scout decides not to pull the trigger, and at the timestamp 8:00, is when he meets the blue Engie. Don't let this comment go unnoticed. Pokyface is a genius for thinking of this.

That beginning... that aching feeling of "should I get up?" "It can... wait right?" Then that forceful way of getting up after... The way you ignore the obvious alarms to get the day started, the way you just wanna lay back down and not worry about anything. The way the only place you feel safe is by yourself, yet even by yourself you slowly peel yourself apart. Listening to the whispers and echoes of your suicidal thoughts, pressing deeper and deeper into your back, until your sitting at the edge of your bed, so close to ending it all. Letting death wrap it's warm embrace around you, and letting the worries slip away... yet something always keeping you from doing it. It's always something. This animation captures depression perfectly. I love this SFM because it's written by someone who actually knows how it feels. Knows that numbness, knows the way you have to force yourself to act okay.

If you don’t have any goals at the moment that’s fine, you’ll just have to get out there and find some or if you do have some goals, work hard to achieve them. That is how dopamine works. It works when you work towards a goal. Not when you achieve as much, but you still get some when you achieve it. Keep pushing, I believe in you, king!

I've been going through a bad time lately, I really resonate with Scout, feeling like every day is the same old monotony, and wanting it all to end.

Out of all TF2 movies I watched, this struck me emotionally the most. While I never had severe clinical depression that scout is experiencing, I can relate for many details featured in this movie. From my perspective, here is what's going on. Scout unmoving and staring nowhere shows his disconnection from the world. Engy with his inivisibility clock symbolizes the desire of scout to remain unseen and unnoticed by everyone, as if it could ease his pain. The accident where engy loses his clock means to me, that sometimes something should go against what depressed person wishes, so that this person can receive help; if scout could remain invisible forever, he would sure be dead soon. Spy, heavy and soldier show that victim of depression needs support from other people. Some of them (spy) understand a lot about what is happening with their dear buddy, but do not show is immediately; some are blunt but stubborn (soldier) and refuse to leave scout behind even when he is very rude and pushed them away; others deeply empathize with scout, though they have trouble expressing it (heavy). All in all, salvation is collective work. GJ, everyone.

[@yourfriendlyeverydayhealer9306]

This whole SFM is amazing, incredible and very emotional with lots of unexpected twists. It's honestly the best SFM I have ever seen in my life and though the animation could be improved, it's still incredible and the story was fantastic. [Spoilers below] The best part in my opinion was when RED Scout and BLU Engie killed their team and everything that comes after. Soldier's words were twisting the knife on Scout and he couldn't take it anymore, and it didn't help that none of the other team members interfered with the exception of Sniper pointing out how awful Soldier has been to Scout but by then it was too late. I'm a little confused as to why Scout and Engie killed everyone but I believe it's because they're both tired of fighting, dying, winning, losing and never getting anywhere. It's monotonous, and for once, they want silence in the battlefield, no more fighting, no more dying, no nothing. Another reason has to do with the team, specifically Heavy and Sniper. Heavy has shown signs of concern for Scout when he started acting off but never asked if he's okay. As for Sniper, think about it from Scout's perspective; Earlier on Sniper told Scout that he shouldn't have gone out of bed, and later on he called out Soldier's behavior, defending Scout in the process and if someone who said such things suddenly started defending you, you would be angry and lash out which was what Scout did. BLU Engie on the other hand felt useless because as @SHOGUN THE DANK from the comments explained, BLU Engie was put in charge of defending the Intell but because RED team was so bad, they couldn't even reach the intell room so he was useless, sitting and waiting for someone to appear, but no one came, and eventually he just gave up. And it was likely that his Soldier belittled BLU Engie for being useless which was why he snapped and killed his team. The Spies survived because of both the cloaking and possibly because Scout and Engie were too done with everything to even care about killing everyone. They just want some quiet. The Spies understand what needs to be done to prevent the situation from getting worse. The Spies both knew they need help from the other team and they know it, but first, they need to check on their teammate. The part in 11:55 struck out to me because I believe it's Spy showing regret for knowing that his teammate was going through a tough time but not helping Scout before things escalated too far. He wants to help, the other Spy wants to help as well which could be why they didn't stop RED Scout and BLU Engie from killing everyone, but what can they do? They've both ignored the situation to the point where it got out of hand, they didn't approached their teammates, they possibly don't know how to handle the situation and they can't understand what RED Scout and BLU Engie are going through (it's also worth pointing out that Scout and Engie hate spies for various reasons so the Spies possibly didn't want to risk adding fuel to the fire). Meanwhile, the RED team were waiting for their Scout to explain himself for what he did earlier, they didn't know or understand what Scout was going through, especially Soldier who's furious for Scout's betrayal. The Spies approach the RED team and originally Soldier was planning to shoot but decides to listen to what the Spies have to say. Then the RED and BLU team goes up to each other as both Soldiers shook hands as a form of a truce with the other mercs saluting to said truce. They don't understand what RED Scout and BLU Engie were going through at the moment but they know one thing; they need to stop this fight, even if it's just for one day so that they can help their teammates. However, when RED Scout and BLU Engie ran off, they might have been too late. At 13:35, even though Soldier showed no emotions, it's possible that he regretted saying awful things to Scout and pushing him to the point of snapping. That is until BLU Spy found the watch BLU Engie and RED Scout were using to hide themselves and quickly located the missing teammates. When RED Scout and BLU Engie were caught, they expected to be punished, and be killed for what they've done but instead they got something different and unexpected. Their Heavies started dancing the Kazotsky Kick and the other team members joined in. Both teams knew that apologizing to the RED Scout and BLU Engie won't be enough and wasn't what they needed at the moment, so they opted for a better solution, cheering them up, it may not be much but it could be enough. To RED Scout and BLU Engie however, it was more than enough, it makes them ask why they're doing this and gifts them something that is genuinely heart lifting and so they joined in, not wanting to let this moment go to waste. If they are doing this, then does that mean that there is still hope? That it's not just fighting, running, dying, etc? The dance gives RED Scout and BLU Engie a reason to keep going because they want to experience more moments like this. The teams may not be there for them before, but they are now and they're here for their teammates and will help them get through it together. Honestly, this is an incredible video and I want you to know that this is amazing, you're incredible and be sure to take as much time as you need, you deserve all the praise. Thank you so much.

This is an incredibly lengthy and personal comment which im not really posting to be read by commenters, I’m alright with the fact that people dont care how i interpret this cinematic piece of art. But this might take some time out of your life, your choice. I don’t know if I’m gonna watch your other stuff but this will always be something I remain loyal to. I remember watching this when it came fresh out of the oven. When his profile picture was a lil dispensah bot. I probably interpret this too complex or take it too seriously. But I saw this when I was in a rut. Watched it like 3 times, patiently waiting for more. i cant tell you what happened exactly but I forgot about tf2 as a whole. Few months back got a pc so i also got back into it i decided. I now love it more than anything. Yeah starting over is challenging but I chose the path. Lately been in a rut again, nowhere close to 2-3 years ago fortunately. But definitely down deep. This video got recommended to me. 2-3 years later it communicated back to me while I was mindlessly scrolling. I took a screenshot and kept it in the back of the mind. It’s winter break now, and I honestly just got as comfortable as i could think of since i was in a rut anyways and i dont feel like i have enough energy to be alive, just live. I put it against my pillow, laid my head down and watched it again and made sure the audio played on my soundbox. It…was different. I started to interpret it in other ways as one would but I started relating to all characters. To details. And then came the part where he slept in the position where he’s about to kill himself and that was the first lightning struck through my heart and entire nervous system. Don’t worry I’m fine now just for the sake of not worrying people unnecessarily I do not plan and do not want to kill myself. I wouldn’t be able to say the same for the other parts of my life before the beginning of this year. Going off topic, that’s where the first lighting struck. But the scene with soldier. The exact same fucking thing happened to me today. I heard but hadn’t listened. Hell at times I didn’t even take it in. It’s like he’s so afraid of the outside world he feels safer and his own world. Instead of being choked by the voices, emotions and people around him, he prefers the idea of a slow suffocation by means of isolation. But it’s the engineer for me, BLU. He was probably the first ever person that gave me hope in a best friend years back, I gave up awhile after though. Two people suffering sharing each other’s trauma and pain effortlessly, just being together. The two hearts bonded there and they embraced each other, it’s what I love about tf2. It’s a sense of brotherhood, the team is like a household. The scene where they both killed their entire team showed a snapping point in a really painful way. People suddenly need you and ask after you (Expertly portrayed by soldier as the one asking things of you and for example heavy showing visible worry and empathy, but there’s also subtleties such as sniper’s voice line in spawn. But it’s the ending for me. Nothing, and I mean nothing will beat that genuine smile. It’s so weird, am I weird for this? But his smile is so unreal. It’s the smile of a boy who’s come to terms with life, and through hardship eventually got what he needed. This is no masterpiece, I am aware. It’s no high quality tf2 movie like some around on youtube. Doesnt have voice lines, not even crazy visuals and very simple transitions but, in a way it all comes together. But I’d be damned if this wasn’t my masterpiece. It’s the thing I’ll hold onto. Thank you. I’ll never forget 12 y/o me discovering the joy of the kazotsky kick when they noticed i was F2P and we just danced around the map. I laugh a lot, smile a lot but I want to laugh and smile like scout. Feel that warmth, feel that safety within the brotherhood. Feeling like I belong. Because until then, life was worth living. Keep going, buddy.

13:03 I love the detail that the demomen on both teams are not saluting because they're too drunk

[@sqytho9275]

this might have been a rick may tribute, too. With rocket jump waltz playing, soldiers being at the front to make peace with the other team, and both demoman not putting their heads up and salute. Since both soldier and demo were friends in the lore, this probably wasn't a coincidence. Oh and Demoman doesn't have a bottle with him meaning he didn't and never drank it in this SFM

I could imagine heavy being really sympathetic, and maybe sniper too. But for sure heavy

[@Quibblet]

While Sniper was hard on Scout at the beginning, it's hinted this isn't the fist time Scout messed up for the team. Like another poster here observed, Soldier was being a bully and Sniper may have also been bullied before in his youth. He might have recognized what was happening over a period of time with how Scout was being singled out. Plus, he's an introvert, so loud and uber aggressive Soldier probably gets on his nerves a bit. Gotta love Heavy, him having empathy for Scout is endearing. And the Hoovy side coming out at the end 😊

[@dirge7459]

The one time copyrighted audio actually makes a scene even better.

[@justaregularprofile8829]

Ah, I see someone found out how to unlock the secret good ending to the Hoovydundy video-game! Jokes aside, the dedication is definitely something to be proud of. Nice work! (forgot to mention how lovely the quality is. it's a 1080 video yet looks like it's 4k! How you were able to do that is beyond me)

[@pokysfm]

Thank you so much, this is the first time in a while that I'm actually proud of myself, so your words mean a lot. About the quality thing, it's just some effortless tweaks in Sony Vegas, if you wanna know I just tweaked the sharpness of the video, the contrast, and the color correction, so yeah... I'm happy with the result

[@justaregularprofile8829]

Np. Don't plan on making animations myself however, but thanks for mentioning how you did it.

[@justaregularprofile8829]

Hey. I noticed the 8th video in your SFM animation list was made private. Out of curiosity, what was the video about? I think I remember the theme of it, but need confirmation.

It's ironic how the only one who survives scout's attack on his own team was spy. His father, if you didn't know.

[@persontheguyman223]

Heavy probably died but I see no blood spills so he could have faked it

[@zombine7103]

I think that doesn't have a meaning, spy can disguise and can become invisible, so he survived it. Only he is capable of that.

honestly I relate to this, back in 2018, when my life went completely downhill after school stuff such as being bullied and ditched by everyone around me (for genuinely no reason at all, and I have yet to even find out why it happened all these years later) and I just knew it was going to be over for me when school ended for the year mid 2019, I was basically on the verge of just ending it all eventually, when I stumbled upon a game thanks to my first online friend in July, and ended up meeting the people that practically saved my life and I felt like life would finally get better fast forward about 5 years later, and things really didn't get better at all for me, with my mental state still declining a ton to this very moment I'm writing this comment, with a crippling fear of losing my friends while also knowing it's too late now to even try to stop it from happening, and practically just try to do something kind (which ends up going wrong) and I know something will end up happening soon enough I'm trying the best I can to get through this, to no success so far and with my home life being as bad as it has been for years, getting help won't exactly be easy as much of an unsatisfying ending as this is, I'm still trying to put up with this as much as I can and I've at least found something I enjoy making, even if my horrible home life and terrible school makes the time I have on it extremely limited and causes some things to take months to even start I'm still pushing, even if things keep getting worse and my mental health decreases more and more each day also my hatred for humanity, but that's a story for another time and is its own whole well...hole

[@elitely6748]

This is by far my most favourite sfm not for action, but for story and emotion. Thank you Poky

[@9zeromine]

This is true art. Made me emotional. I didn't expect such well-done film making and storytelling in a TF2 SFM. Rivals 90% of film and television. Amazing work.

[@H0P3_3X1STS]

When you feel like you're in the dark and at the end, just know that someone is there for you. It may be someone you know, someone you don't know, someone you have compassion for, maybe even someone you don't like, but you are never alone. There is always someone who understands you and knows what has you hurting inside, they understand your suffering, and they can help you out of the dark and bring you back into the light. That's one of the reasons life is worth living.
