[QUOTE=Mr MP;37289289]it's taking part that's important, not the winning. :smile:[/QUOTE] I was so excited to take part in because I had replay ideas. But SFM only.... I can't SFM at all. It's overwhelming, and I can't make anything worth anybodies time. This is a damn shame, but I guess the people who worked hard in SFM will get something to show for it.
If I could model or animate I could certainly take a crack at original universe
The TF2 team has been pumping out updates and cool stuff like crazy. I doubt there will be replay awards this year, probably gonna be SFM only this year to show it off.
I hope there still are categories for in-game replays. Also if the Saxxies are aired on GT.TV, that means that the secret thing between Valve and Adult Swim is still unknown!
Ugh, dammit. I've spent over a year planning to be able to use Replays this year, and I haven't learned to use SFM yet. All my SFM ideas are only, like, based off a few days of thinking, not months of pre-planning with an accomplished coder and mapper with a Replay idea. I guess I'll be given more freedom with SFM, but it's not the same. [I]Especially[/I] since I haven't had a chance to use SFM and there are people who have used the beta for months, and who know how to animate well. I have good ideas, but I don't think I'll be able to pull them together in time with no experience in SFM.
Any Valve IP? That really expands on it. Would love to see what they do with this.
SHame it's not using the Replay feature. Can't use SFM to save my life. Look forward to some of the genius results that talented people will make.
Hoping the winner uses a ton of different characters from valve games rather than just TF2 stuff That CSGO trailer looks fucking sexy, maybe they'll update SFM with CSGO content?
[QUOTE=SnowCanary;37289017]The VGAs are horrible though, that would be more of a punishment than a prize.[/QUOTE] yes lets ignore the fact that the winner gets their video broadcast on cable TV
Any Valve IP? ...At last, I shall create what I always wanted to.
[QUOTE=01271;37288995] Winners, selected by Valve [B]from the community-chosen nominees[/B], will be announced by Dec. 31, 2012[/QUOTE] Valve, come on...
Who knows how to get the new maps and models into SFM? I'm pretty sure it's a simple process, but I'm clueless. :v:
[QUOTE=NassimO PotatO;37290120]Valve, come on...[/QUOTE] It's stupid, everyone will be drunk off their asses on New Year's day or just having fun, so they won't be able to see it And in europe, it'll be January 1 by the time it comes out
Um, so I'm guessing the entire FP Saxxy thing is done, huh? I always thought that we could all work together with the replay thing. We still can with SFM, but it will not be the same. We could have the person who made the idea for the video, the animator, the map maker, the person who made the stuff that was needed (custom weapons, custom map objects...) and voice actors. Only way I could see it. With it being SFM, I have no chance in winning a golden half naked Australian.
bah. can't participate in saxxies or MvM thanks to a terminal case of computer rot don't that bugger all.. i can't wait to see the great entries this year tho :3

Oh god, I'm screwed. I can't download Source Filmmaker still due to Connection Timeout problems. Game over?
[QUOTE=Sardonus;37290955]the FP Saxxy thread was 99% of people asking to be in the background for a scene and expecting a Saxxy for it. there was like, 4 people who wrote up stories.[/QUOTE] Well, we had lots of mini stories and 2-3 big stories.
[QUOTE=Damian0358;37291540]Well, we had lots of mini stories and 2-3 big stories.[/QUOTE] I got a little story I'll post whenever the Saxxy thread decides to go up again.
[QUOTE=CWalkthroughs;37291688]I got a little story I'll post whenever the Saxxy thread decides to go up again.[/QUOTE] Post it now. I decided to make it go up again earlier today.
[QUOTE=Damian0358;37291817]Post it now. I decided to make it go up again earlier today.[/QUOTE] Well to make it short in tl;dr, it's basically a backstory to the events of the whole Spy and Scout's Mother scenario.
[QUOTE=CWalkthroughs;37291832]Well to make it short in tl;dr, it's basically a backstory to the events of the whole Spy and Scout's Mother scenario.[/QUOTE] Oh, sounds pretty good.
Well, shit. I'd participate if I could use SFM, my current computer is not enough and a new one would cost too much. It's a pity, I have like 20 dead projects that are either in hold or went nowhere because of lack of non-gmod-ish mediums, but well, I can wait until next year Also, about this: [QUOTE]Must be the original creator of all content featured in the video.[/QUOTE] Does this mean you can't even use public domain music (Like some classical music pieces) or is using it OK?
There's no way I can practice to the point where I'll be any good, my sfm stuff looks like it was made in gmod.
I think I'm gonna go for best Dramedy. That's a category, right?
I don't get it. Is there some magical way to switch maps mid-video? I'm going to need more than one set for my video, which would require me stitching separate videos together outside of SFM. What can I do?

Public domain music I can see being used for every other category.
As a participant I'm kind of bummed, I have a ton of difficulty using SFM. Super excited to see what everyone else does though, especially when they have four months to work on it.
[QUOTE=Bryceanater;37289153]Wow that sucks, I thought the whole replay option was made for the saxxys.[/QUOTE] Wasn't the idea of the saxxies to use replays of real gameplay? everybody ended up staging and editing it anyways
[QUOTE=Desuh;37296940]Wasn't the idea of the saxxies to use replays of real gameplay? everybody ended up staging and editing it anyways[/QUOTE] Even most inventive kill was staged, which was bullshit. And Biggest Massacre was unfair as shit, because someone just went on one of them gay saigns.de servers and spamfucked a load of sentries.
