An Extended Entry for the community saxxy awards 2021. The tale of a spy who wanted success but failed his friends in order to achieve it. Created by One Person. Thanks to Hoovy Tube for the sweet particles and inspirations.
I like this man, glad I could contribute with the particles. But You should have probably kept to your promise of working on this video for longer - many of the sound effects seem missing, some of the shots aren't much different from the storyboards (actual animation-wise) and the watermark seems a bit distracting.
I wanted to work on this more but life for me is getting really complicated and I'm having trouble dealing with those and this and wanted to release before I get buried. I will take the advice though because a lot of these scenes did feel like I took shortcuts for the time crunch. Also yeah those sounds missing in the last half was more me doing music instead of sentry sounds to that regard. Plus the watermark is painful but I've been told to be worried about content stealing so its more a safeguard. I'll take the words to heart and learn from the mistakes of this project. The critique is really helpful and I'm glad it wasn't sugarcoated so the next project is better.
@@goatking I agree with the first guys point at the same time you made the right call by finishing before you bite more than you can chew can’t wait to see the next!
@@syborgcat3830 Ill release what I have with the blooper reel, But when I say condensed that meant I didnt have time to animate what wouldnt fit in the 5 minuye span.
The video is great! I really liked the lighting, action, how the characters were presented, and the background where you can see the mountains with little to no sign of fog (That must've been painful to do)! Sure, there are flaws such as missing sounds, and an instance where two particle's were missing, but that didn't ruin the experience! There's always room for improvement, but overall, great video!
This is a really charming video! I love the camera angles and movement, they give it a movie-like vibe. The action scenes are pretty well-done too. 3:45-4:05 is probably my favorite sequence by far. Even though the pacing and sound design is a little off overall, this was a very entertaining video to watch.
This video is great. It reminds me an old good sfm works. Idk why, but i felt nostalgia. Sometimes , you just need to realize that teamwork - is the most cool thing in the TEAM fortress 2 . But its so rare...
i like the shots where the camera follows the movement of an object, like the bit with the sentry when spy tries the heavy disguise and the demo putting on the tide turner
I've seen you work very hard on it fr the SFM discord server and it's a pretty good result! Just some audio and rigid animations here and there however which can be fixed with time.
Great job GoatKing! Just maybe tinker with some scenes next time as they are a bit fast and cant read them. Same with lighting and camera control. But anyway it was a blast to watch.
That's to bad. The animation and the story are cool, but the sound seem a bit off, so I have some trouble being into it. 😔 Anyway, thanks for sharing and good job overall ! 😗
