ok so not sure if you know but there are content creators for tf2 called sfm animators and the voices are still the same actors but its just voice lines from the game the person who made this one is called the winglet
dont worry about the scout cosplay we all know your a spy in disguise! Wait a minute...Also the voice acting is the original voice actors! What your hearing are there in game lines which is why it's all jumbled together.
Here are some answers to some questions you were asking through the video. 1) 3:40 The voices used are actual voice lines from the game, some of which were spliced together for the narrative. Most fan TF2 films do this and the in-game dialogue is extremely versatile for splicing that you can pretty much make the character say anything you want with some finesse. So technically yes, these are the original voice actors, it's just their game dialogue mixed with some audio effects like the echo. 2) 8:00 The hat with green flames is what the game calls an "Unusual" hat. Cosmetics with Unusual quality is only obtained by opening a cosmetic crate with a key that can be bought for $2.50 plus tax in the game (or from the Steam Market between players or traded), and the odds of obtaining an unusual cosmetic is roughly 1%. Unusuals are known for their particle effects that emit from the hat or accessory, and there are many different possible effects depending on the crate series. Because of how rare these cosmetics are, they're traded and sold between players using either real money or the in-game economy of metals and crate keys, and the rarer the hat and particle effect, the more expensive the item. And we're talking either $15 or hundreds of dollars depending on the hat and particles. 3) 10:10 Because the game consists of just 9 classes and games typically consist of 12 players per team, it's common to see more than one of the same classes. It kinda evolved over time that you can give each character their own personality, akin to how players can be the same class if they so choose. So in SFM animations, you can assume that multiple instances of the same class are different people. So that engineer with the beer belly is different from the engineer whose sentry got sapped. 4) 10:40 A continuation of the previous point, multiple players can pick the same class if they want and the server allows it. That scene, in particular, is homage a bit of a running joke in the community that you might find games where a team is running too many snipers than necessary, and yet it appears none of them are actually contributing to the team (they all keep missing, have poor awareness, tunnel visioning, standing in one place the whole game). Sniper in particular is a popular and notorious class because he's the only class in the game that can instantly kill anyone from any range with a scoped headshot, even close range if they're skilled enough or hacking. 5) 17:15 Apart from being the demolition expert of the roster, Demoman is known for also being really deadly with a sword. Heck, he even owns a possessed claymore called the Eyelander. In the game, Demoman has a couple of swords he can use in exchange for the default bottle as his melee weapon. Combined with the shields that can replace his default sticky bomb launcher and boots that replace the grenade launcher, Demoman can opt to be the "Demoknight", a melee-focused sub-class that fights exclusively by charging right at opponents while swinging his melee weapon. As sub-classes go, this is the most famous of them all and thus has made numerous appearances in TF2 fan films. 6) 19:26 Spy has a small handful of cloaking devices at his disposal. One of which is called the Dead Ringer, a pocket watch that allows him to fake his death when hit and then instantly turn invisible for a short time for a speedy getaway. It has the drawback of emitting a loud noise when becoming visible again, however, which can alert enemies that the spy is still alive and nearby. 7) 20:00 That man is Grey Mann, the missing third brother of the Mann brothers. He owns an entire army of robotic doppelgangers of the mercenaries and is the sole reason why the Mann vs. Machine game mode exists. Glad you enjoy the video! Winglet is an extremely talented SFM animator.
If you want to see more sniper, there’s another sfm called “an Australian Christmas bloody miracle” where the “bad guys” is just a whole group of snipers
@@HannaHsOverInvested It was the original voice actors, but yes, they did use the voice-lines from gameplay. That's why everyone's lines are so short and nobody goes on monologuing.
@@HannaHsOverInvested Team Fortress 2 is famous for having a absolutely, positively MASSIVE amount of soundbites that can be extracted from the game files, and many SFM fan animators use them in order to make them “talk” in their movies.
@@HannaHsOverInvested I was glad too but i am excited for your next reaction to Tf2 fanmade videos. If you like sniper try sfm Tribute where he is main character or saxxy turn to a monster. I love yoir reactions 😁
The Sniper tends to receive less attention than other characters in these SFM fan animations, although if you want to watch one that centers around him, “Hitman Havoc” is a short one that really does him justice. BTW, what happened with the Spy at the end in which he got exploded but survived nontheless is that he was using an equipable item from the game called The Dead Ringer (it’s the golden pocket watch) that allows him to fake his own death by throwing a decoy at the same time that he becomes invisible, although it makes a very loud and recognizable noise when he decloaks again.
First of all, I just want to say that Fanmade animations don't show gameplay, they usually create their own story based on the characters in the game or the story of the game, which they develop or modify a little bit. I want to recommend the Tribute animation, I think you might like it (it only has 5 minutes) but it tell's interesting story. There are lots of great animations some are simply for amusement and some have a very good and profound story. For example, I like Dedect_ , Lil' Guardian Pyro, Tf2 vs Overwatch 1, 2 or The Art of Spychecking. I'll be very happy if you react to any of them, but I'm not forcing you. I don't want you to do anything you don't want. Also I'm sorry for my english it's not my native language.
How to scare Hannah: Be a Medic main This may have a 30-60% success rate ALSO this game doesn't have any class limits so you can just run around tha map having two or more of each class
If you want some context for this animation by "The Winglet" here it is: Once Spy has captured the blue intelligence, blue team decides to get it back. After an epic battle battle of the red and blue mercs resulting in a red victory, blue team has made a blue "Bolted Behemoth" _(go watch that btw)_ to kill of the red forces as a backup. All but 3 (Spy, Soldier, and Scout) survived, but the pyro managed to get it back and return it to blue base What you don't understand in this episode: Blutarch is basically the blue merc's boss, but they are working for Graymann, who wants to take over Mann Co. (Run by the ultimate buff Australian man, Saxton Hale, he runs the business that supplies the ammo and guns for red and blue) with his unstoppable blue robot army. Once blutarch was killed, they decided to go with operation "Bolted Behemoth" which I'm pretty sure is "kill all of red and get the intelligence" (that's why it was labeled sorta, and the dead engineer was the creator of said robot) Blu robot army is "potentially" created, which leaves to the last step, take over mann. co. Little note: Each merc has their own cosmetics and their own unique weapons they are known for. That's why some of them have hats, others have interesting hair, and wield obscure weapons like swords or at times laser guns. Continuation: The red, the blue, the ugly (After the 2 year wait, it's finally made, but I won't spoil the actual story) To put it shortly, this is how Mann Vs. Machine SHOULD HAVE started. Major Edit: This just a fan-animation that uses the characters and the lore itself, not actually canon towards the "Meet the Team."
As far as the echoing of their voices go, the creator was probably modulating them to sound as they might were we to hear them having a conversation in a large metal box in real life. It’s also not the original vice actors per se, he’s not voicing it himself or paying anyone to do so, he’s mixing and matching various voice lines from the game, of which there are thousands.
These are indeed the real voice actors but those are pre-recorded voices that you use to communicate with your team better in the game. So he got those pre-recorded voices and used them in his animation. A lot! And I mean a lot! Of people do this. happy to help. Edit: these are also voice lines made by the game creators that were used in expiration date, not a lot but few. Also, sometimes, rarely though, they get the actual voice actors so it’s easier to get the lines they want.
16:45 the Spy did all this drama because the ambassador weapon needs a direct hit to the head to give a critical hit and also has some disadvantages as Accuracy decreases after the first shot. It has a short wait time in which it never causes critics and the damage is reduced to 15% and the attack speed is reduced by 20%
I recommend you the Team Neighboorhood series, it's fan-made and "curiously" funny. I think it's a great start to fan-made animations. Have a great day. (The quality may be lower than usual but it gets better with time) By the way I jumped on this video the second I saw it, thanks for what you're doing, it's funny!
Team fortress 2 has animations that excepcional, just incredible, then you have the wacky humorous animations that just.... are totally random and something new happens each 0.5 seconds. Beautiful community.
The TF2 Community put a lot of their heart and soul into making things like this, it's honestly wonderful to see plenty of others enjoy it. The next video Winglet did is even better.
Hannah these are fan made animations and the reason you're confused about the voice acting is because whoever made it is using audio clips that akready exist in the game and they're trying to make it work with their video idea. That's why it doesn't feel "natural", they obviously can't hire the original voice actors so this is the next best thing.
The characters often look different (Like how the Engineer had a belly, Scout's hair and Spy's hat) due to TF2's 2500+ unique cosmetic items which allow endless customisation.
19:27 This item is called "the Dead Ringer", it allows Spy to feign death. So that's why it looked like he got killed, but in reality he kept going while cloaked.
If you are looking at checking out more fan made stuff, I highly recommend Crash Maul's ongoing SFM series. The Epic Scout, The Rabid Heavy Engineer, The Fight for Sawmill & Like White on Spy are so good!
5:23 if you wanna see a story protagonized by the Sniper, there's a tf2 short called "Tribute", it was a drama finalist for the Saxxy Awards in 2014, and I must say it's pretty good.
Some explaining for some of the stuff you may be confused by. Demoman uses medieval weapons because of the in-game subclass called the demoknight. Demoknights have a shield that lets them charge. The spy being shot at but not dying is because of an item called the Dead Ringer, which allows the spy to feign death when shot.
there's no voice acting cuz of course this is only a fan-made animation. And there's a lot of course, more than official ones the community actually controls its own game at this point because Valve don't care about TF2 at this point, we have cosmetics mostly from the workshop. I recommend you to react to the Saxxy Award animations, they are really good. Saxxy Awards are an event where SFM creators make animations and the best ones get the Saxxy Award (Basically an Oscar) I think you should react to the one called "Turbulence" from the 2015 Saxxy Awards But the voices are the original voice actors, they're just voice lines from the game (there's a lot)
10:24 is a joke about public servers where new people pick Sniper character (bad choice for a new player btw) and are completely oblivious to their surroundings. In regular game there are no restrictions on how many players can pick the same character. In competitive community they limit 1 character per team and play 9v9.
The voice lines are original lines from the game, they're just stitched together to make scenes and new sentences. It's a common tactic SFM creators use.
OH HOT DAMN SHE FINALLY GOT AROUND TO THE WINGLET"S VIDEOS! He does an awesome job of matching and editing the official voice lines to match his videos. 10:43 sniper players in-game are known for being blind and deaf to everything around them when looking down their scopes, which makes them easy to kill for anyone not right in front of them. The official TF2 videos only use the standard designs of the characters, and each team canonically has one of each character, but with The Winglet's videos, he can make an entire army out of one team with the available cosmetic items from the game.
If you want more of sniper, i can highly recommend "An Australian Christmas Bloody Miracle". It takes place in Australia and every inhabitant is played by sniper. It's even made by the Winglet, the same guy that made Live and Let Spy!
(Sorry that I keep commenting I just like giving context to the stuff from the game) At 19:30, The spy used the Dead Ringer. Instead of turning invisible like normal, the spy fakes his own death, gains a speed boost, and is pretty much invisible to all means. On the downside, it makes a loud electrical sound when the timer on the watch runs out, which, as you can see in the film, alerts the blue medic and scout.
So this is a trilogy, 'The Fedora Chronicals' The first in the series is The Bolted Behemoth, this is the second and the third is The Red The Blu and The Ugly. Also to clear up some confusion, Demoman is Scottish, not Canadian.
"Live and Let Spy" and "The RED, The BLU, and The Ugly" are fan-made films made by the youtuber The Winglet, who used SFM (Source Film Maker) to make these, Films. in these 2 in particular The Winglet only used pre-recorded voice lines that are in the game. The Winglet actually made another SFM called "Mind Games" where the Scout's Voice Actor (Nathan Vetterlein, also known as ChilliOfDestiny in RU-vid) voice acted in it, but here in "Live and Let Spy" there were no voice actors involved. Just keep in mind that Live aand Let Spy was made almost 6 years ago, and ever since Winglet hasn't stopped improving on his animating. quite an amazing fellow.
If you want to learn more about the tf2 canon lore, I recommend watching the RU-vid channel "After breakfast with squimjim." Where he goes over the complete history of each character.
It's adorable how you call Sniper "Boyfriend". He is a good choice. Aside from the pissing thing, he's pretty normal and sane. I personally love Medic because I'm just weirdly into crazy fictional characters.
There was a competition for a while called the Saxxys where people would create animated films using Source Filmmaker. The winners got an exclusive in-game item, and so there are a lot of really good tf2 fan-made animations. The only official one you haven't watched is Jungle Inferno. Audio in fan-made animations is always going to be 1) nonexistent, 2) using lines directly from the game files, or 3) using sentence mixing, which generally sounds the derpiest and isn't used much is the higher echelons of animation.
To answer your question at 8:00 That hat that the spy emerged with was an "Unusual" Killer Exclusive. (Killer Exclusive being the name of the hat.) Items with the "Unusual" Modifier are expensive and rare cosmetic items in the TF2 World, some even costing above a thousand real-life dollars. They're hats with special particle effects floating on or around them. (in some other cases, Taunts and Misc Cosmetics can be unusual too) The flames that the Killer Exclusive in this case had, were called "Scorching Flames" , which is one of the "Unusual Effects" known to be a bit more on the pricier side, as back then they could fetch a pretty penny. (Nowadays they go for about $60 and some change) Another notable fact about the Killer Exclusive is the fact that any character can wear it, leaving the possibilities for Cosmetic Combos endless.
Live and Let Spy is actually the third in a series called the Fedora Chronicles (made by the same person). So here's a list of the episodes, including a 2-part spinoff. 1. Fedora Chronicles: Operation 2Fort 2. The Bolted Behemoth 2.5. Burning Through Space 3. Live and Let Spy 3.5 (Connected to The Red, the Blu and the Ugly) Burning Through Space 2 4. The Red, the Blu and the Ugly
Regarding having many of the same character, in-game anyone can play any class they like, no matter who the other members of your team have picked. You can even have a full team of everyone playing the same class, if you feel like coordinating that. In fan-animations, people tend to give each character a unique set of cosmetics to differentiate them from one another, even if they're the same class. For example, two Heavies wearing different hats would be two unique characters, even though they share the same base model and voice lines.
There is only one of everybody at a time (of each color, of course) in official "lore", but in the game you can have a full team of any one class/character. So that's why you see more than one of the same in these unofficial animations.
These are the original voice actors' voices being heard here. What this creator does is they use the many voice lines from the game, or the official videos, and uses parts of sentences that a character says, in order to create the sentence they want. This is call voice mixing. The creator might also be using a little bit of a.i. to fill in words that they can't make, but I am not certain on that.
I remember somebody else reacted to this video, and also questioned the TF2 logic. And he said: "I like how nobody is aware that everyone's the same. It doesn't really matter, because if you have a different hate, that means you're a completely different person! That's how this universe works." So I think that's how people tell each other apart in the game, haha.
You can Watch the comic of TF2 in videos, it's very funny and explain the story behind the game. Also, there's many of one characters because on the game you can play as many characters you want it, there's competitive with just soldiers, scouts, pyro, etc. And also, the voice of this animation are the voice line of the characters in game. The animator just took the voiceline and put in the animation. Sorry if my english is bad XD
"This video doesn't have voice acting" It means that this video uses the original in-game voice lines with sfm and not with their original voice makers or new voices, thats why sometimes the voices sound laggy or strange. Just a tip
19:26 in TF2 the spy has cloaking watches that let he get invisible for a certain amount of time, but this one is a clock that lets him fake his death by creating a decoy when he gets shot and immediately gets invisible, at the beguinning this watch didn't worked cus the decoy would spawn completelly smash so you would know it was a dead ringer (this is the name of the watch)
4:00 It's echo-ey because the room is echo-ey. In this series (yes, Wiglet made a series and this is episode 3 out of 4 plus a 2 episode spin off: respectivly: "Fedora Chronicles"; "Bolted Behemoth"; "Burning trough space 1 and 2"; this one here; and the recently "The Red the Blu and the Ugly") he uses only the game voice clips, outside from extra characters and the entire Burning trough space 2 episode
They are the original voice acting, they just used different words from different lines, since I dont know if you know, but end of the line and Live and let spy are not official tf2. Both of them were community created, which explains why end of the line has no voice acting.
@@fraudzilla4783 End of The Line isn't made by Valve, but it still has a bit more of an official blessing, since it was made for the company for an in-game update
To awnsers some questions you had I didn’t see awnsered yet. The old man at the end and the bulletin board plan that red spy found are references to the canonical plot of tf2 told mostly through the comics. The old man is Gray mann who is the creator of the robot versions of the mercenaries and is the brother of Redmond and Blutarch mann the two who hired teams red and blue to murder each other. Mann co. Which you also seemed to not know was inherented from the Mann family to the Hale family the current owner being Saxton Hale seen in the picture as the man with thumbtacks in his eyes they supply weapons to both teams and Gray mann wants take the company from Saxton.
If you want to see more of sniper (aka' your beloved bf) I recommend watching animation "An Australian Christmas Bloody Miracle". It's really good and created by the same guy who made "Live and Let Spy"
at this point, she might as well be a gamer edit:oh and i forgot, these are the original voice actors, but they just use the voice lines from the game so i sounds perfect.
Be sure to watch "The Red, The Blue, and The Ugly". It's the sequel to this video and is still pretty recent. Just make sure you watch "Burning Through Space" and it's second video as well to understand the end of red blue and ugly.
The whole thing with voices is that in the fan-made animations (like Live and Let Spy or End of the Line), the fan makers can't just ask the voice actors for voice clips since they'd be overwhelmed if they took requests (although Scout's VA does sometimes provide lines for larger community-backed projects) Instead of trying to replicate the voices themselves which usually sounds pretty bad, they either keep things relatively silent, or use sentence-mixing with in-game voice lines which works most of the time, but can sometimes sound a little weird with certain emphasis and cutoff. There's also the pretty recent 15 dot AI which can somewhat replicate their voices with all the voice lines to work off of, but it sounds a little robotic and flat at times, so it's not really used. Also for other fanmade recommendations, I'd reccomend pretty much ALL of The Winglet's animations (he recently uploaded the latest animation in his ongoing series), and also Crash Maul (Meet the Rabid Heavy Taming Engineer is a personal favourite of mine)
These TF2 movies creatiors are very brilliant. All of the talking you heard in this video or mostly are specially recorded for the game itself or from official valve's video's. Some voice actors are active in social medias, mostly active is scout voice actor which has channel on RU-vid and i thing he's streams too. Sometimes he even record his voice specially for Creator. Oh, and in 7:58 you're been confused why that hat was on fire. The answer is: It's an unusual. Its a Hat with a special effects like fire or other stuff. They're very rare, expensive and high flex. They're like Knifes from CS:GO, but to be honest nothing beats the one of the most expensive items in TF2 *Golden Frying Pan* (it's cost around $3500 / 200 keys)
Most animators use sentence mixing to make character say what they want. Sentence mixing is when they take the audio from the game and the shorts and cut and chop it up to make it what they want
it is the original voice actors (sort of) in sfm you can make the people talk using sound files already given to you and with some tweaking you can make them say almost anything in some cases voice acting of different people are used for certain words phrases or just for acting
I enjoyed your reaction to this. There’s more videos from the Winglet that builds up the story to Live and Let Spy, its called “The Bolted Behemoth”. And that video also gives context to other videos of his called “Burning Through Space” which has 2 parts. I would like to see a reaction from you on those videos if you can!
So, basically - it's a team-based shooter. There can technically be any amounts of any of the classes, though it IS recommended to mix things up instead of having 12 snipers! The different hairdos and outfits (Scout's varying hair choices & hats or Engineer being fat) are just different cosmetics players can equip to customize their own characters! Hope this helps with explaining things.
There was a prequel to this one aswell, the bolted behemoth, a bit less beter quality but it is just a short meeting with everyone and why they are there
Just to let you know that these are voice lines in the game for their voices in the video. The person who created these videos did a very good job and it's very cool to see you react to it.
Most likely this was made in SFM (Source File Maker) in which a fan made this and probably didn’t have access to the voice actors so they looked through the dialog each character had and choose the best voice clips that fit the scene
8:02. That was an unusual hat. Basically it’s an item grade that adds particle effects to the item. In this case scorching flames, the green fire, is the effect. That’s a very valuable effect, and on a very valuable hat there, the killer exclusive. If you opened a supply crate and got that, congrats, it’s worth 330-385 keys, or $825-960 USD. (A key is roughly $2.5 USD). Yes people buy and sell these things for real money. Yes, people make a lot of money off it.
Live and Let Spy is the third video in a series called The Fedora Chronicles. The first video in the series is Operation 2Fort, then Bolted Behemoth is after that, then Live and Let Spy, then The Red, the Blu, and the Ugly.
Mann vs Machine videos by Valve, also Winglet's Pyro in Space 2 parts and Mind Games should definitely be on your to watch list! I really like your reactions please keep up the great work!!!
Hanna : "i thought there's only one at everybody at a time" Most of the die hard fans : *looks at meet the medic's wave of soldiers that died from a uber heavy* yeah alot of people forget about that too
Don't know if this was said, but Live and Let Spy is part of The Fedora Chronicles. The Winglet's channel has a playlist that list all four videos in that series.
In the video, the creator took voice lines from the characters in their game, Team Fortress 2, and spliced bits and peicea together to form sentences. So the characters actually say these things in game. (Execpt for scout. Sometimes, his voice actor offers to help some content creators by doing some voice lines for their videos)
Also in terms of gameplay the characters are just classes. They're all the same people but more than one person can play them at a time... Story wise there is only one of each... Maybe. (Loving the editing where the camera follows your head movements)
Well yes, canonically there's only one character of each class but in game since you can choose the same class that any other team member the use of cosmetics and hats can make your class look like a totally different person while still being the same class
