Team Fortress 2 But a Movie Trailer [SFM]

A Team Fortress 2 Movie Trailer!
for a not-so-real team fortress 2 movie!
I made this video as a means of getting back into the swing of using SFM. I wanted to approach a project with a lot of ideas for scenes but without a story to stitch them together - so I just compiled them into a mock trailer for a TF2-themed movie! Let me know what you think!
I'm hoping to get back into the swing of making content like this, so stay tuned for more video content (hopefully) soon! I pinky promise
WORKSHOP CREDITS: (too big to fit in a youtube description, so I'll need to compile them elsewhere, I'll get around to that soon)
thanks for watching!

Mock trailer? So you are not actually making it or you will just differently?

[@sitkinator]

You are still amazing as ever :)

[@Anomidae]

@@bronyfanhelluvafan6728 the capacity to make this does exist, it's just a question of investing the time!

[@ttpbroadcastingcompany.4460]

This makes me wonder how a movie made entirely using Source Filmmaker might do in a real life movie theatre. Like, Valve decides to make a movie using nothing but Source Filmmaker (maybe using one of their IPs or creating a new one) and ships it to the box office. I can only imagine how some people might react.

[@Anomidae]

TBH, SFM isn't the issue because it's SFM - it has more to do with the toolset being VERY unfriendly towards big project formats, like a feature film. The render/visual strength of SFM is actually not the issue either, it's moreso the fact that SFM tries to be an all-in-one, whereas a movie production uses multiple programs in a well constructed pipeline. SFM just doesn't have a great place in a pipeline required for a movie! That being said, it's no way impossible. Very possible actually, and I think with enough time n dedication a handful of animators and mappers could make a feature length movie to this quality standard easily!

Please make this into an actual movie, even if it’s only like 30 minutes. Just for a trailer that isn’t official or anything, makes me hyped for what could be an awesome fan made movie.

[@ymmatinthehat]

the lighting alone got me excited

[@aleciosun1060]

0:40 GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS HOLY SHITTTT yo your animation style is absolutely formidable. You appear to have a shit ton of cinematography knowledge and it shows. The lightning, the poses, the music... Keep up the good work!!!

[@Man_Aslume]

Ngl the sentry part looked so cool to me

[@ohnowhy700]

I still find this whole trailer to be extremely underrated! And how TF2 and its comics had so much potential for a batshit wild story as an animated series too! This trailer proves it could work, the cinematography, the lighting (a huge fan of lighting), action sequences and pacing are all well made! Each shot feels like it has its own plot and story to it.

[@vincentdlame8130]

Take on your spotify or whatever and search tf2 theme, set the video to 0:26 and mute the video, then start the tf2 theme and at the same time start the video, its a masterpiece

[@WolfyStudio115]

Its 3 am and It was entertaining

[@Haunted_Hunter]

"I made this video as a means of getting back into the swing of using SFM." Boi, every frame in this could be its own film, there's so much effort put in to these!

[@weezingargonian6523]

If they do make a tf2 movie, it literally has to be in SFM

[@JacobKealohi]

This. is. Magnificent. We NEED a feature TF2 film animated in SFM.

[@engifromtf2]

That would take a hundred years with SFM... due to glitches and bugs...

[@Appletank8]

And because its Valve, it'd be delayed for 20 years.

[@CesarBendy1]

Good news Emesis blue exist now

[@imtrash2932]

I don't know how many times I watched this but every time I come across this video when i search tf2. I watched it more than twice to admire every single frame. This is just utterly beautiful

[@SeagullGC]

Your animation is constantly getting better over time. I'm impressed!

[@trunguss]

Wow, the scenes in this are nice. I like the animation and lighting, it sorta makes the maps feel more like real places.

[@PTV.Official]

I would pay anything just to have this as an actual movie

[@tackyoptic]

That little recreation of the original trailer made my day

[@WilhelmRillhelm]

You should ABSOLUTELY make a movie out of it. I don‘t care if it‘s 30, 60, or 200 minutes long, I‘d watch it, and I‘d enjoy every second of it.

[@FreakinGrooves]

This is absolutely fantastic! I love it, I love the lighting and animation, so good

[@FreakinGrooves]

these sfms just make me want to queue up in tf2

[@ieattrash6589]

YOU HAVE NO IDEA AT HOW HARD IM TRYING NOT TO SCREAM RIGHT NOW, THIS IS FANTASTIC AHH

[@distorto]

Probably the best animation I've seen done in SFM, I'd love to see this become a real thing. no matter how long it may take

[@kinzint1514]

This DESERVE lots more attention. Seriously, from the animation to the lighting! Masterpiece 10/10

[@XupyprKZ]

You know, if i didnt know about tf2 and didnt know its a game, this trailer would hype me up to that mysterious movie

[@Isoscelestriangle8]

With valve’s genius’s and all the things tf2 have already established a tf2 show would be fucking incredible

[@beef387]

Even though this isn't going to be a real movie It still chills me up a hell of alot

[@torringoldstein4814]

I love that from about 1:05, there are shots of Spy and Scout (even Pyro and Engi) raiding the BLU base and stealing their intel, as a reference to an unused Meet the Team video! This slapped!! It’s amazing that people using SFM are making higher quality stuff than big companies! Love when Scout was running towards the base on 2Fort, he’s putting a lot of swing in his arms! More aggressive and raw!! So cool!! P.s. Only make it a movie if you feel like it, no one has a say on it but you!

[@JustInTime0525]

Haven't felt this HYPE about TF2 ever since the last major update.... Thank you so much for creating this masterpiece!!!

[@gbyjrjn]

I'll just pray to see the movie made like this with an interesting story so I can die a happy man.

[@geesegrease957]

Thought this would be a dumb compilation of clips from other sfms, but no, this is incredible.

100% I would be interested in this movie. Or a short. Or something. This was absolutely breathtaking! I loved the lighting, especially. The cinematography. The angles and the movement. The focus and the smoothness of every. single. action. You're truly a legend. This got me mega excited!

[@RecklessBucket]

how have I never seen this one before? it's so good, I'd love to have an actual TF2 movie like this

The best trailer for game movie that sadly doesn’t exist

[@TheYesMan856]

this. this is beautiful. i gotta say better than half the tf2 animations i usually see. saved, saved and saved. will watch again, many many times. respect to you if you ever do decide to make the real thing, cuz that seems like it would take a lot of time, but would be 100% worth it. this is really impressive for something that wasn't made by a big team of professionals. also, impressed by how you got each character's personality right somehow. idk how, but they all just seem so in place and portrayed really well even tho this is literally just a two minutes long video with random scenes and no dialogue. if you decided to make a movie i'm sure the community would do their best to help out since it seems we have a lot of creative people here so it would hopefuly be easy to find voice actors and maybe even other animators willing to help out.

[@rampantmold]

the lost tf2 show intro

[@markbv591]

Damnit, you got my hopes up. Well, beautiful animation anyway, even if there won’t be a real movie.

[@Tblaster00]

Idk what it is, but I love seeing the mercs just hang out, doing work and stuff around the base until the next battle

[@Guruc13]

Thank you, trailer for the tv show we never got.

[@coolaman5]

People honestly don't realize just how much potential TF2 has as a movie - Both action and lore wise, and I think this trailer captured both of those aspects immaculately!
