I've always loved the obscure bit of lore that Demoman can play piano at a professional level. It makes sense when you consider his parents. They probably rigged the piano to explode if he missed a note!
why are tf2 animators so talented it makes no sense im not complaining but like this is one of those situations where there was a finite limit but everyone passed it
My personal theory but tf2 was linked with a lot of gmod animation stuff back in the day like 15 years ago, then sfm got added by valve which let you use a lot of tf2 assets to animate with. With the yearly film awards valve used to have for tf2 harbored a creative community that's only expanded and evolved since then.
As best I can tell, SFM was the first high quality 100% free 3d animation software to come out with a low barrier to entry, and it has everything you need to animate tf2 characters from the jump.
I've come back to this video several times, but I'm blown away at the lack of comments about the fact that no one is talking about how Kitty0706's Engineer is just chilling in the bottom right of the last shot. This is incredible, all the fellas who have shaped a community with whacky ass animations. Incredible.
I've never played TF2 but I love looking at the community so much. Ye, sometimes there's bullshit but overall it's so beautiful and creative and has formed so many people
Rick May Soldier growing angel wings and ascending to heaven on a rocket jump had so many underlying themes you could sell it at an art museum. Beautiful.

As a years-long SFM fan, the montage calling back to Live and Let Spy, Turbulence, Emesis Blue, Till Death Do Us Part Two, The Fight for Sawmill and Spawncamp (technically) were the highlight of this for me!

The engineer from Team Fabulous 2 broke me, actually crying a lot remembering Kitty dude, combined with the decade and nearly decades of being around this game and it's community dude-
Everybody gang up on this mf named @SparrowlZ and make him what ALL of the tributes to that magnificent bastard, if he doesn’t shed a tear may god have mercy on his soul ‘cause I know we won’t.
Damn. So many references. References to Live and Let Spy, Emesis Blue, Turbulence, End of the Line, Pootis Engage with the way Soldier runs in his intro? And all the major TF2 RUclipsrs at the end. Amazing animation and really brings the nostalgia even though I’ve only played for 300+ hours.
0:51 enough to make a grown man cry. If tf2 had a trailer for the community, this would be it. Can say for certain, after 9 years in development, it was worth the wait.
the fact that at the end, they... No, WE stood amongst the rubble of countless destroyed and OOOOBLITERATED ROBOTS is a testament to how we stood against those low-lifes through thick and thin! Fair play indeed, my fellow gentlemen!
On the final screen. Rappy & Demo (Dr.Face), Mediexcalibur, Winglet's fedora spy, Shork, Funke, Jerma Big Slappy, elmaxo, ArraySeven, Uncledane, StBlackSt, Skyminslash, Ceno0's Anti-Weeb Soldier, Soundsmith, Kostamoinen, Salty Phish, Muselk, Lazypurple, and finally the Kitty0706's team fabulous 2 engineer. ((and seen briefly trimping is the beloved pizza delivery demo.)) I'd live through it all over again.
The Pure amount of references is breathtaking, Expiration Date, End of The Line, Emesis Blue, Turbulence, BladeRunner, Till Death Do Us Part 2, Live and Let Spy, Rick may RIP, Akira, Scott Pilgrim, Rabid Taming Heavy, JoJo, and most importantly the The Fact That Demo Can Canonically play Piano👏👏👏 1:03 a few extras References at the End that I really wanted to point out, Miss Pauling, G.Mann, Saxton and the Administrator, The Multiple TF2 youtubers, The Buff tf2 mercs, Mimi sentry, Demo Running by to deliver his Pizza And Ofc Kitty0706 sitting just playing his Guitar(RIP)
Dude, the part where it's quickly flashing between all the mercs HAS THE MAPS THEY'RE IN IN THEIR RESPECTIVE MEET THE VIDEOS AS BACKGROUNDS. This person put in such a small detail that most ain't even gonna notice. Well played, man.
I have held the believe that any sfm related thing happens in the same world at the same time, so red team teaming up with Blu from winglet, the horror of emesis blue, the insanity of pootis engage and the sfm bits of lazypurple are happening at the same time frame
@@_--ashley--_9419 everyone who lived through the Gmod videos era was crushed when they heard of his death. Dude was the biggest pillar for this kind of content at one point, and he did not live past 20.
Thank you for inspiring me I had to do a movie trailer or music video for my school in less than then 2 weeks so I decided to make this in real life an got best music music/movie trailer in my parish. All I have to say is thank you for inspiring me.
The sheer amount of references and love this animation gets si proof that tf2 comunity can only be killed if Valve closes all of tf2 servers, and still it will keep around for some more years, and I love that
the internet asked the tf2 community "are you going to die out?" "if valve stopped giving support, i might have a little trouble" "but would you die?" "Nah, I'd live."

TF2 meant a lot to me during my teenage years. All the fun and chaotic times I spent with my clan, my brother, my fellas. I almost cried. It's honestly that good.
@@ourlordandsaviorsquirtle3278I did personally try. Could never really get over how old the shooting felt though. Got pretty decent at engie but I couldnt hit my shots to save my life. Fell off the game a bit after that.

And this scene also has: -Delfy -All buff mercenaries -ShorK -Mimi sentries -Big Booty scout -LazyPurple -Coloner himself -Uncle Dane (His hat is black for some reason??) -SoundSmith -Elmaxo -SwipeZ -Kitty0706 -Mr. Paladin -Cen0 -STBlackST -Solar Light -Karma Charger -Funke -Demoman with pizza (Requiem for Pizza) -Muselk -ArraySeven And MUCH more youtubers I don't know. Reply to me so I'll add more references!
Engi flying on dispenser is most likely stblackst, that's his signature bit in his videos, he's probably one of the last gmod OGs. white tyrolean blue medic in the right is most likely skymin slash. Engi firing gun in the movie montage is probably taming engineer rabid heavy. Bearded blue scout in vest is most likely Vorobey.
You forgot kitty0706 on 1:03 Swipez, Mr paladin, I think Ceno is in there?, stblackst, The big booty scout was jerma (maybe), solar light, karma charger. That's all I know
If this isn't considered a tribute to TF2, and something that should motivate or at least ignite a spark into Valve to see that we really want TF2 to be fixed and returned to it's former glory... then idk what is... this really just reminded me of all the fun I had in TF2 in my 9 years on steam.
the problem is when tf2 does get fixed new players along with the old come back, and with those new players a possibility for toxic players to be born, hope that doesnt happen
@@stephensale1068 Here's the thing though: Toxic players, and toxic fans in general, are inevitable in every community in general, and that's a fact we have to face. But in a beloved community like tf2, they're just the minority. The same can be said for communities such as Doom, Postal, and other similar communities. So don't worry about toxicity becoming scarce if tf2 gets fixed.
man, im 7 months late but it is so f*king awesome i love the way you reference several things like the supercharge of the medic, the rocket jum, the memes that was popular in their moment, the akira bike slide, the mutant bread of tf2 and everything, its like an overcharge of feelings and that is awesome. I LOVE IT (sorry if my english is bad)
1:04 …That last frame with everyone pointing upwards is amazing. Just pausing and looking through all the references or channel characters made me pretty emotional. Bring Big Slappy to TF2.
Referencing all of the amazing SFM like Live and Let Spy, Emesis Blue, MTRHTE, and Turbulence gave me such a fucking smile man And then seeing kitty’s engineer man. Such a good video

My personal theory but tf2 was linked with a lot of gmod animation stuff back in the day like 15 years ago, then sfm got added by valve which let you use a lot of tf2 assets to animate with. With the yearly film awards valve used to have for tf2 harbored a creative community that's only expanded and evolved since then.

This genuinely gave me chills. Cause i in my room, pretty much completely pitch black darkness, and this plays
the fact that at the end, they... No, WE stood amongst the rubble of countless destroyed and OOOOBLITERATED ROBOTS is a testament to how we stood against those low-lifes through thick and thin! Fair play indeed, my fellow gentlemen!
YES SIR! WE WILL FIGHT AN DE WILL WIN!
Also the JoJo Diamond is Unbreakable "Breakdown" opening reference. Story about rizz persisting even in death.
The bots aren’t even people at this point, there below even the lows of a overwatch 2 player

Thank you for inspiring me
I had to do a movie trailer or music video for my school in less than then 2 weeks so I decided to make this in real life an got best music music/movie trailer in my parish.
All I have to say is thank you for inspiring me.
You should upload the video, I would love to see that
The sheer amount of references and love this animation gets si proof that tf2 comunity can only be killed if Valve closes all of tf2 servers, and still it will keep around for some more years, and I love that
We would just make our own servers
@@Senor_Penor Knowing TF2 community, it's actually really possible

Awesome!
hooooly. the man the myth the legend the goat himself
IT'S HIM, THAT'S THE GUY RIGHT THERE.
Yooo
YOU ACTUALLY ANIMATED HIM PRESSING EVERY PIANO KEY?!
As a piano player this makes me very happy
Makes sense. Because demo knows how to play the piano
@@Bazedcheesehe does?
I noticed that too! I love it when animators do that!!
hes actually a madlad
This animation some how sums up every reason TF2 and the community is so special and fun "we're not going to die we are going to live forever!"

0:58 such a way to memorize the old tf2 animators, I really liked that crash maul engineer reference
do you mean memorialize?
Crazy how it’s been over a decade of sfm animations and masterpieces are still being made
Crash maul, the wiglet, lozeng3r, fortress films, dunkle and so many others made tf2 what it is today
I absolutely love how they referenced Till Death Do Us Part Two at 1:00

Very dobre
the internet asked the tf2 community "are you going to die out?"
"if valve stopped giving support, i might have a little trouble"
"but would you die?"
"Nah, I'd live."

the akira slide and the angel Soldier was one of my favorite scenes on this animation
tf2 animators are a different breed and i am so glad i found this fandom
Happy to see kitty0706 being remembered and referenced to this day. Deservedly so.

And MUCH more youtubers I don't know. Reply to me so I'll add more references!
1:01 "The Fight For Sawmill" , Django Unchained , Akira
the engi flying on dispenser is a music sfm,i believe its auto pilot
Engi flying on dispenser is most likely stblackst, that's his signature bit in his videos, he's probably one of the last gmod OGs. white tyrolean blue medic in the right is most likely skymin slash. Engi firing gun in the movie montage is probably taming engineer rabid heavy. Bearded blue scout in vest is most likely Vorobey.
0:32 I think Death Threats, idk the source of the animation tho, looks like some idol anime.
You forgot kitty0706 on 1:03
Swipez, Mr paladin, I think Ceno is in there?, stblackst,
The big booty scout was jerma (maybe), solar light, karma charger. That's all I know
The piano segments alone had to have taken WEEKS to pull off, I pray for your sanity dear animator 😭
Engineer riding the dispenser singing Autopilot was my favourite tf2 song parody to loop around with
Expiration date, end of the line, emesis, live and let spy, and even death do us part.
You brought me back
Near the end, if you look closely, you can see Requiem for a Pizza
@@genso6052 also saw Turbulence near the end
If you look during the space, you can see soldier from pootis engage fly past.
@@charnor2727 You can also see the Pyro from the Winglet's "Burning Through Space" at 0:43
And the engine from the Rabid Heavy Taming Engineer/The Fight for Sawmill
If this isn't considered a tribute to TF2, and something that should motivate or at least ignite a spark into Valve to see that we really want TF2 to be fixed and returned to it's former glory... then idk what is... this really just reminded me of all the fun I had in TF2 in my 9 years on steam.
the problem is when tf2 does get fixed new players along with the old come back, and with those new players a possibility for toxic players to be born, hope that doesnt happen
@@stephensale1068 Here's the thing though:
Toxic players, and toxic fans in general, are inevitable in every community in general, and that's a fact we have to face. But in a beloved community like tf2, they're just the minority. The same can be said for communities such as Doom, Postal, and other similar communities.
So don't worry about toxicity becoming scarce if tf2 gets fixed.
@@DogeyboyThePieChowbruh I’ve never seen toxic Doom players that’s cap
@@perfectcellsucks6645under the mayo
man, im 7 months late but it is so f*king awesome i love the way you reference several things like the supercharge of the medic, the rocket jum, the memes that was popular in their moment, the akira bike slide, the mutant bread of tf2 and everything, its like an overcharge of feelings and that is awesome.
