(SFM) Sky Fortress: The Remaster [Saxxy 2014]

In a vast sky-world The Engineer finds a new use for some old dispensers...
We've worked on this video with Ultimote Pictures and a few months later he dissappeared. I still don't know how it happened and regardless of specualations it's hard to believe he ended his life himself. Ultimote had kind and fun ideas that he put into his videos. It was an honor to work with a person like this and I am proud to host his film on our channel.
This is the last film by Ultimote Pictures, rest in peace good friend.

[@avaglitchx8610]

such a big deal (btw i hate people who are minecraft players and don't even know what they are talking 'bout and they have played one class for about 10-17 seconds rage quit and never played again.)

[@theilluminati6696]

+Arctic Lavin it's just a joke, geez

[@djwc6]

[@hectormeynell8792]

Its sad how awful FNAF animations get millions of views but masterpieces like these get hardly any views.

[@linuz2210]

+Hector Meynell True story

[@GlitchyShadow13]

FNAF is Cancer

[@hectormeynell8792]

Yes, it is. But the fanboys cannot see that for some reason.

[@CAGEONSMania]

Don't worry guys, pyro must've been auto balanced to red. What? I don't have anything in my eyes... No, I'm not crying! I'm sweating!

[@stinger59605]

Oh, he’s red all right.

[@teleportedbreadfor3days]

@@stinger59605 No judging by the ending he definitely did come back. Also his suit is fire retardant. If you think about it, it looked like Pyro took more of the fiery part of the explosion than, well, you get it

[@WilliamAhlert]

This guy is a straight-up artist. He legit would do so brilliantly if he worked at pixar or dreamworks. Hes great enough solo, imagine if he went all the way.

[@2fast2game]

Nice

[@edlvsprt5071]

Shootokill "Solo"? Check the description. But I agree with you. Their team is impressive

[@Verdessa1273]

that's what she said

[@mr.mcmuffinesquire8141]

They say the Spy jumped over the moon that night.

[@jojake6144]

I really like this video, but I think it all happened too fast. Should've made the story longer

[@maxcleghorn]

Mr.Bear Saxxys have a maximum length of five minutes, if he made it any longer he would have been disqualified.

[@jojake6144]

Rayei WhyDoINeedALastName Right right...make a long version o-O

[@DHTGK]

Like a extended edition?

[@jojake6144]

freakingminecraftian Yes. I would be so happy if they did it.

[@slonik0002]

+Mr.Bear You do know one of these animators suicided, right?

[@ArgetKnight]

This was fucking awesome. The anination was great, particles perfect, cosmetic choosing awesome, a whole new kind of look to the tf2niverse and it even has fucking voice acting. If you don't win the saxxy I am gonna be pissed.

[@AliceM1337]

Ur oissed

[@Greenhourglass]

To be honest I didn't like the animation. It was too fast paced and the characters movements were jerky and spastic.

[@Greenhourglass]

I'm Jane...What? I was just giving feedback. I never said I could do better, if I tried it would be total shit. That's like saying I can't dislike or even give feedback to a movie/book/videogame just because I'm not an actor/writer/programmer.

[@ArgetKnight]

I'm Jane I must agree with Greenhourglass . It doesn't make sense that just for not being a pro at it, you can't do a bad critique of it.

[@beth2388]

This could be a cool game mode in tf2, where you're flying with dispensers and doing a search and rescue mission

[@SwagzLife]

You guys are seriously some of the best (if not THE best) source film-maker crators i've ever seen. You guys deserve the saxxy, and much more beyond that!

[@toastedjambread]

You should see their CS: GO Saxxy entry. It's called "Defuse on the Fly."

[@SwagzLife]

seen it. seen most of their stuff already these guys are demigods and sfm is their powers

[@nathanbain-darktrollerofal1434]

HOLY CRAP! The animation on this was insane! How did this not win?

[@tolelexiter5376]

Idk, its sad really, its possibly because its a remaster?

[@angelicacruz9451]

Nathan Bain - Dark Troller of all this video did won

[@BluFemscoutShootingStarz]

i would like this game mode to be replacing mann power.

[@vulture_5212]

Yes... Best idea ever...

[@alisameggison9470]

Dah

[@yoga5631]

Blu Femscout taht will be very awesome

[@EmperorAmbrose]

Blu Femscout it would be cool

[@hypocritehenry4619]

No this one should be a literal new gamemode! Just dont replace manpower

[@thomasyen1288]

This was amazing. Not only was the animation smoother than the original, the voice acting was better, and the way you captured femscout's emotion when the pyro took out the demo (and himself) almost made ME cry. 20/10 best animation I have ever seen.

[@PelinalWhitestrake36]

R.I.P in peace Pyro

[@gtsramix3377]

Pyro :´(

[@AWSOME91000]

Pelinal Whitestreak he was alive at the end i think

[@gtsramix3377]

I also think...

[@lemauasampedas1265]

Pelinal Whitestreak ripped in pieces pyro :(

[@cleversmart0303]

Pelinal Whitestreak Rest in peace in peace? Makes sense.

[@mollyh2629]

You guys keep saying squeal... but do you guys even know that one of the main creators that helped make this wonderful vid died? .... so i don't really think there will be another the same like this.....rest in peace.

[@kimharoldinocencio5944]

REALLY???Oh well RIP in peace

[@nathantkn]

Rest in peace guy that made Pyro died.We will not remember his death(just kidding,I do because of this wonderful animation)

[@vishardlatchman9991]

+Skyblazenguyen "it's a rumour, stop spreading it"

+Vishard Latchman read the description...

[@vishardlatchman9991]

+Tyler Frost the uploader of the video replied to Mr bears comment that it was a rumour.

[@Anino_Makata]

Rest in peace, Ultimo. You will be remembered.

[@dracomagum249]

The action scenes are really good, but it is also adorable. I love the balance you put into this, making silent moments speak a lot, making the lines worthwhile, but also the communication without words says a lot more. Adorable animation.

[@micharosa6201]

3:10 - Heavy falling straight on his balls really hard

[@buscadiamantes1232]

Shitty 30 secs FNaF fandom videos: 100K Views Masterpieces like this: 200 views or less

[@bessefnafshabanaj8623]

yea FNAF SU CKS how can it get so many views FNAF is not even allowed on source they have not askend 😑😑😑

[@KevinGarcia-il7ij]

A highly underrated SFM, most SFMs out there have a good story but not so good animation but have millions of views. This however destroys that, 900k views isn't enough for a good animation land story like that. You done well!

[@TonydBrony]

The voice acting is wonderful and the animation is lovely.

[@hiraetheria]

Wow! Valve should put this in! Like imagine people flying on dispensers.

[@spookyspaghetti5691]

Thatw would be cool

[@dougmccoy2650]

sequels please I'll give you a cookie

[@HarryWizard]

Main producer in the sfm died, check description. RIP

[@deactivat3d__944]

the main producer died so their will be no more series of this

[@dougmccoy2650]

Megocode3 Gaming how did he die

[@DeviantPicturess]

+QuelNegozioDellaMannCo this is bullshit. There is no info whether he suicided or died it just happened and there is no solid information on that.

[@chadclarke6395]

+Deviant Pictures Films was it a voice actor or animator?

[@NotEvenARealChannel]

It's exceptionally rare to find an SFM video, with this much attention to detail, and skill involved. Great work, guys!

[@nightwind529]

IS PYRO SOME LOST PUPPY OR SOMETHING BC IT SEEMS LIKE THOSE STORIES WHERE YOU FIND A PUPPY, TAKE IT IN, AND IT DIES SAVING YOU

[@mmanuel.6310]

To be continued??? PLEEEEASEEEE

[@workadaydelite]

I hate to tell you this but the original creator, Ultimote Pictures, committed suicide. It says in descriptions.

[@theomegakiller7059]

+huggable (huggable1) he disappeared no suicide

[@mmanuel.6310]

huggable wait.....what??

[@mmanuel.6310]

Why is lots of good tf2 animators dying..Kitty...Now This?....WHYYY

[@mmanuel.6310]

they actually have no information on how he died and why he died..

[@slycooper4946]

I justn love this im just sad Pyro died hes my fav character ;(

[@remuvs]

My lord the soundtrack is so uplifting and the way the climax and the drop were executed was perfect. Wish this was longer

[@bdinaravideo]

Amazing video! Deserves many more views and likes. Seeing a list of people who worked at the end made me appreciate the teamwork. So many people from different countries worked together. The result is so beautiful and fun to watch! Great job everyone!

[@apehawk]

I used to be an Engineer like you ... BUT THEN I TOOK AN ARROW TO THE KNEE XD!

[@LimeDoe]

That Birdman ending though...

[@TheGielnik]

The scout voice was spot-on, if Valve ever uses the character this gal should voice it.

[@NyanMinez]

We will always remember Ultimote pictures. It's truly a sad occasion. What an amazing animator...

[@time7877]

10/10 in all seriousness, this is so good!!!

[@cobaltjay4736]

YOU DESERVE A 10 MILLION SUBS!! ALL OF YOUR SFM VIDEOS ARE LEGIT.

[@HeliPotter2000]

Valve please make this, let us fly and shoot.

[@EmonWBKstudios]

The timing on this feels way too fast, this short just doesn't let you breathe, but it's good, just needs to slow down, like WAAAY down. I feel like it's one or two passes from being perfect, but it's good as it is right now.

[@ThePeculiarOrange]

I think if he could he would but the thing is saxxy's are within a certain time limit or else they don't count. but I agree with you if this wasn't a saxxy it could've been slowed down.

[@EmonWBKstudios]

My question is whether it was worth it to release it in this state, time limit or not.

[@tedturner9917]

Wow. That was great. Like watching the entirety of a feature length movie in just a few minutes. Had a sound plot, great (yet fast) animation, decent voice acting... There was great action in some pretty awesome environments and it left me feeling warm and fuzzy inside. I've GOT to give a nod to a really tiny, yet hilarious moment in the short. When the three Soldiers are about to take off after the Engineer, the one in the middle begins whipping the other two with the Disciplinary Action. That whole little moment made me sport a big grin. Excellent work my friend!

[@3kzy233]

This is a really amazing amination! Keep up the great work dude!! :)

[@descout6474]

hes gone the creator. Hes done making sfms, as he commited suicide.. Rest In Peace Ultimote.

[@justabagofchips8012]

yes he is R.I.P creator........ ಥ_ಥ WHY WHY GOD DANMIT WHY HE KILL HIM SELF ಥ_ಥ ಥ_ಥ ಥ_ಥ ಥ_ಥ ಥ_ಥ ಥ_ಥ

[@novaoverton6203]

Actually he disappeared. He didn't kill himself. They have no information on him though.

[@rockybarry]

It was speculation that he killed himself. Though highly likely, it's still a speculation.

[@vitaminc4tm779]

This animation (masterpiece btw) has a hidden message and its the following: If you save someone,they might save you

[@roysdecendant39]

no shit sherloock

[@detachablenipples8651]

I practically cried at this. Brilliant animation. Keep making more.

I love how the flying dispenser makes an appearance in many other sfms after

[@cristinaleybag3143]

Now I know Pyro's Japanese. Pyro's last words: Kamikaze suckers!

[@hyperkoneko5097]

You just stole that from a comment or not

[@relaxingkoala9035]

Christ fem scout, You get sad over the death of a mumbling psycho pyromaniac from the other team trying to kill you I might add! Not only that but you knew him for 1 Minute!

[@SuperAsd1212]

***** Scientifically impossible

[@YoutubeFaggot]

Gabriel Naing Darude is respecting it, just saying his opinion on that to. "SOO YOU RESPECTT ITTT."

[@krisstasko]

The pyro never tried to kill her, but saved her and engi, who seems like a father figure to her, several times and sacrificed himself for them! So I'd be pretty sad too

[@Psycholas]

im sad for the pyro :( he was good pyro

[@one.lynxboi]

this is SO cool! I love this video

[@TigerGamers-cw4jn]

damn, this is one of the best sfm animation I've seen

[@reyconsolaV]

the concept is fine, but I do not like the result, could be better

[@RomeCorgis]

You go do it then.

[@caseytubes]

Rome That's a copout answer. It's okay to not like how something was executed. You don't have to be a chef to not enjoy food, etc etc.

[@RomeCorgis]

Gammerman12 it doesn't take a chef weeks to do something.

[@DuckTheFinn]

When femscout said "no" when the pyro died, she just had a lack of facial expression. But yeah, I agree with you. But at the other hand, there is no much time to refine a film for saxxy.

[@reyconsolaV]

^Duck I know that time is short, but is a remastering, so what I say is not the first time working on this project. It is my opinion and I do not want to offend anyone

[@plasmidd]

Would have been better if female characters wasn't a thing. :/ Not sexist, I just dont like the fem characters of tf2. Just my OPINION. Sorry if I offended anyone though.

[@quadonyx8724]

I can't tell if you were accidentally sexist or purposely

[@plasmidd]

QuadOnyx Oh, yeah I see it. Sorry if I offended you. :/

[@quadonyx8724]

+TheBluEngineer No you didn't, just watch out for feminists

[@plasmidd]

QuadOnyx Yeah. They dont know that i have a magical thing called a block button!
