[@ericsmith3808]

The movements are so fluid and life-like, the facial expressions and lip-syncing are well made, and the fact that this was all made by someone who was not from Valve make my jaw drop 6 feet under! This should've been made the official vid for Scream Fortress 2013!

[@BDNeon]

Not from Valve? Made with assets that were not made available to anyone outside Valve until like a day before this vid was released, particularly that model of Merasmus with facial rigging (practically impossible to make a vid of this caliber in just 24 hours), a few original vocals, etc. Also the fact this account was JUST made to post this video? Yeah, this is Valve.

[@ericsmith3808]

You can't say it's from Valve just because of that. If this vid was made AFTER they released the assets needed, then it could've been made by a skilled SFM user who put in all his time for the vid. Example: the Crackpot (Saxxy Awards 2013, Best Short entry) vid was at a level that could rival this vid's, and it was made at first for just a workshop item. Just 'cause something is made at such a high level doesn't mean it's made by Valve.

[@LtGenMichael]

Eric Smith Sorry but he's right, only valve knew about the magic spells, it's impossible to make a video like this in 24 hours with a custom map, and models.

[@ericsmith3808]

Guys, this wasn't created by the uploader. This was a leaked video from Valve. Think about it, Scream Fortress came out around the 27 or later, So this would mean they would of had to do this entire thing within 3 or 4 days. Not only that, but the Scout's lines appear to be taken from the Meet The Team series, but without any background noise. This would mean they have all the original recordings of the Scout's lines of those sessions. And finally, the account. One upload, no comments or replies and all? Unless the uploader is an employee at Valve, this was just a leaked video. Nevertheless, it is really well done by the actual animators who made this possible.

[@fishmansf4]

[@Dan_K_Meme]

This was done with motion capture. It's a valve animation in disguise. GermanPeter made a video on it

[@MDPToaster]

Dan K. Meme German peter also got it completely wrong. The voice lines, models and textures exited in Valve’s Source Dev Repository long before this video was made, and the animation isn’t motion capture, it’s Frame tweeted in an external program and uploaded to a burner account because of Valve’s rules regarding their repository. And most of the world props can be found in prior Halloween maps and cp_snowfront, and a lot of the architecture is from degrootkeep. All the speculation can be explained by Valve’s Source repository, which is a big dump of their Source engine content given to Game Devs to experiment with. And knows my how Valve operates it, they would upload voices and models not implemented in their games (such as HL2 episode 2 beta content) Back in 2013 it was pretty unknown, but totally within realms of reality for that “HQ merasmus” (its not very HQ not even up to Valve’s SFM standards) for someone to find those voices and model and make the SFM for fun, but due to the nature of the Source Dev repository, unable to take credit for the SFM.

[@InitiateDee]

@@MDPToaster But the repository didn't contain stuff that didn't exist before the update came out, right? I mean look at the date this video was released, it's only 3 days after Scream Fortress released that year, and you can't tell me that they had ALL of this in the repository months (or years) before the update. It simply doesn't make sense for something like this to be done that quick and by one person, I simply can't believe that. Maybe you're right, or maybe wrong, but one thing is for certain; this is one mysterious video.

I once thought this is was an official Scream Fortress trailer

[@TheBluesteve2]

2 things, first, ENTER THIS FOR A SAXXY, second, the sniper should have been the spy.

[@AngelzHaloz]

Saxxy is already over but this would have won ;0; and yeah. :3

[@bryanbowling3150]

No Blue, sniper should stay

[@Chylls]

This should have been the trailer for Scream Fortress

[@crockstonyt]

3:26 unironically looks badass

[@500sonicthehedgehog]

I think those spells that the Soldier, Scout and the Sniper activated can be useful when it comes to being in the battlefield. The Anti-Gravity spell from the Soldier can make nearby enemies float in the air helplessly, so the Soldier can take them out with ease with his rocket launcher. The Fire Spell allows the Scout to not to move a little bit more fast than he was before, but it also allows him to shoot fireballs from his hands with unlimited ammo. The "Michael Jackson 'Thriller'" Spell allows the Sniper to aim and shoot at a certain area where a large group of enemies are shown and they'll stay perfectly still as they dance around just like from 1:56-2:01 for like 5-6 seconds, which gives the Sniper enough time to head-shot at least 3-4 people. To be honest, I highly prefer the Scout's Spell than the others, thumbs up if you agree. And do you actually wished you would've used these spells in the battlefield, only if they would've actually existed in the game itself. Thumbs up if you said yes.

James P. Sullivan Only works on the the opposing team only, and just only in one area depending it's splash damage, not the entire whole map.

[@TheKirklandGamer]

you know, i could honestly see this as being a legit trailer for the Halloween stuff... too bad it's not though.. it was really well done.

[@TROPHYEARNER]

It is, technically. This was made by Valve before they finished up development of the update, and was scrapped in favor of the version we see now.

[@name1492]

Is no one going to mention that this was uploaded TWO DAYS after the scream fortress update came out? I see you there...valve.

[@jaehapark99]

I really like this

[@roykelly3809]

The movements are so real looking. How did you do that? Did you use rotoscoping or are you just super good at sfm?!

[@creepydvd]

roy kelly motion capture

[@SmileytheSmile]

Rotoscoping isn't even a technique that's used for 3D animation.

[@skril733]

Smiley the Smile Rotoscoping can be used on top of 3D animation. But in this case, it is not being used.

[@sharcblazer99]

Wow! How did you manage these animations! It's like you had one of those... Weird suits with the light bulbs on it!

[@CarlTownsend24293]

Motion capture suits?

[@sharcblazer99]

Yeah that thing!... I guess...?

[@ItsVamp]

Great animation

[@roman108]

2:30 Halloween 2015 millstone/hellstone map in a nutshell after you capture all points for cart except last one.

[@mennokruithof3117]

dude, you deserve waaaaay more subs, the looks of the animation are cool, the element of fun is in it and the movements and lip syncs and all that good stuff ia done great. Respect man

[@MonfangHowlett]

Rewatching this, I have to ask, where you just unable to play two sound files at the same time?

[@thanxbutno]

***** He means that only 1 sound plays at a time in this SFM vid

[@bydioncamilleri]

This animation brought me into TF2. I'll never forget it....

[@galonski64]

That was amazing, I love it

[@throni]

Valve need to make some kind of response to this. I'm really curious to see if they really did just make this account secretly to post this as they don't use this back-story in the comic.

[@gm_construct8024]

this is a valve official animator and if you look the date is before scream fortress was released this is a leaked trailer btw

[@notfunnydidntlaugh3916]

Question: How those three (Sniper, Soldier, and Heavy) got their weapons without having them a backpack?

[@jack_septic_eye]

You idiot! It's like one of those infinite pockets that deadpool has

[@notfunnydidntlaugh3916]

MicroChat Lol

[@jack_septic_eye]

You idiot! It's true

[@HumanTooth]

No. Magic.

[@TheShytype06]

schweinhund they are legends

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

At first I was highly sceptical about the rumour of this being a leaked video by Valve that was scrapped because it didn't get finished in time for Scream Fortress V event. But now I'm not so sure anymore. Some things in the Halloween 2013 event and on the Helltower map felt rushed or unfinished.

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

And this video, had it been released, would have made the perfect intro for players to what Helltower is about, while the Grave Matters comic provided the backstory. I wish they had used it, because the video is finished in terms of narrative, even if the effects may not be 100% polished. So what? I merely wish the animator had used characters from both RED and BLU team.

[@rigmo3338]

The animation and lip sync is truly amazing, I love this
