Incredible

Have my babies.

I love this guy. It would be cool if they managed to make it so you did some sort of touchdown dance at the end of the round if you win Some more of his stuff: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtMzgIHeUHE&feature=channel[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-G7gEHTcQ4&feature=channel[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLXuuavKHVA&feature=channel[/media]

This is awesome. Now someone should port it into TF2 for a taunt

If these were taunts it would be amazing.

simply amazing.

[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;22743883]This is awesome. Now someone should port it into TF2 for a taunt[/QUOTE] What do you think he's doing?

Wow, that looks so smooth. If he did that himself then he is a god at animating. I thought it was mocap at first.

[QUOTE=CommanderPT;22745277]Wow, that looks so smooth. If he did that himself then he is a god at animating. I thought it was mocap at first.[/QUOTE] They're from World of Warcraft. Well most of the animations.

The only one that was from world of warcraft (and i doubt it was ported because it looks different) is the sniper dance.

Why is it a Michael Jackson dance, but not one of his songs? (Still freakin' amazing though)

I wish he would stop using that song.

[QUOTE=rapperkid04;22745444]They're from World of Warcraft. Well most of the animations.[/QUOTE] Or that this guy is actually good enough to of done all this animation by hand? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E-viwmYpvA[/media]

[QUOTE=rapperkid04;22745444]They're from World of Warcraft. Well most of the animations.[/QUOTE] You DO realize that pretty much every dance in WoW is based off real-life dance moves? There was a video about it, but I'm too lazy to look it up. Point being: he animated this himself, not stole them from WoW. Anyway, this is great stuff, the guy is a brilliant animator.

Yet for some strange reason, the TF2 animations follow the same progression as the WoW dances. Weird coincidence huh?

I want the spy and sniper having a danceoff on my screen.

Somebody convince Valve to hire this guy as an animator.

Especially due to the fact that the WoW dances take up very little space (so that the player is in effect not moving from the spot they initiated dancing) while the dances in these videos actually move body lengths away from the original starting point.

This guy never finishes his work :frown:

This should be the loading screen.

I love these, he has such a great sense of weight and timing.

That's awesome! One of the best animations I've seen in a while.

Haha, the Pyro one cracked me up.

The Spy's crotch grabbing made me lol.

Wow what the hell. He is currently working at Lionhead studios and he learned all of that since March 2009.. he barely spent a year. How is this even possible! :byodood: Source: [url]http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/james-benson/1b/6a1/2ab[/url]

Pyro dance is may favorite. Would love to see these implemented into the game somehow, but sadly I don't think they will. :(

Holy shit this guy is amazing. Talented as well.

Holy shit awesome.
