[QUOTE=Bigstivie;49099515]I thought the animation quality was good but not saxxy winning good. The only real thing I didn't like about this one is the medic's voice acting, just didn't sound right. Archimedes sounded pretty good though.[/QUOTE]
not to mention the fact that the voice acting was stolen

[QUOTE=Metaru;49095218]Problem is: its a gag, and a very old one to begin with.
there wasn't so much you could do before it got old - and it unfortunately did pretty fast. as a result, you get a 30 secs joke being drag for 4 and a half minutes without even delivering a punchline. i'm not trying to shit on your production values here(ligthing, camera work and animations look well done), but it feels like you [I]really[/I] overextended your script and over explained a joke for the sake of fitting the extended category.[/QUOTE]
I liked it because it wasn't just one joke. It was fun seeing the spy get "repaired" then folded into a toolbox, out of a toolbox, failing to function as a sentry... The "spy is a sentry" is more of a theme than a single joke that comes and passes.

It's definitely funny, but the animation isn't really Saxxy material. Anangrysockpuppet needs to put more love into his videos.
its rather clear that one was pretty much rushed.

It's sad they put more effort in the thumbnail than he did the actual video, but that could be said about any of his videos honestly

His animation gets worse every time.
It wasn't even a good idea so that didn't salvage it either.

Out of curiosity how does his animation get worse? Just curious.

He tries to replicate a cartoony goofy style with his animation but it comes off as nothing more than moving body parts that don't need to be moved, or inversely he will apply no animation at all and characters will stay completely still
try and turn 180 degrees, tell me if your shoulders fling to the side with your head twisting and your entire spine crunching and flailing around like it was made of jello, or if you just turn
if the former happens, then you are a result of his poor animation

I never really noticed that in his videos (though i could have just forgot or am just dumb). Thanks anyways.
I'm bothered by the only "tinkle" sound effect on repeat for the whole video. It's like an overused stock sound effect that you want to hate by the end of the video.

to be honest, a lot of people dropped any interest for saxxies this year due to the poor timeframe valve gave and overall pointless prizes. (it didnt help that joke entry made it as a finalist last year)
this seems to rushed and effortless on purpose.

Heavy's intelligence depends strictly on the writer and it has been like that for years
[QUOTE=EmilyVasquez;49104220]Out of curiosity how does his animation get worse? Just curious.[/QUOTE]
It just needs pacing and timing between poses. He's basing his style heavily on anticipation (Getting ready to do x), but the movements are always at a constant speed, without any sharp "crisp" movements or slow, sluggish ones to give the illusion of weight. Instead it's something in between and it looks like the characters are doing too many things at once. No rythm, just "1-2-3-4 done".
His skill in animation is at a point where this should not be a problem. It's like he refuses to progress with that in particular.
I'd really want to see Valve mixing more things up to make the Saxxies feel fresh each year. Maybe give some new cosmetic items to every voter and participant like they did back in 2011, maybe make the saxxy's model look different for each category, make a small comic with an update page, or give something alternative for some other game of theirs.
Just add some spice so it feels like a major thing.
problem is, valve used the saxxies originally to promote the replay system, only to abandon it. then used it to promote SFM as a tool for animators and game devs and it didn't take off (original content category that year only had one entry).since then, SFM has been a huge thing on its own, even without a in-depth support from valve. either people use it as an approach to animation or to produce absurd amounts of porn.

Didn't these people submit this entry last year? I know it is "Remaster" (which imo isn't really the case since a lot of scenes still feel rushed especially near the end), but otherwise it is really the same thing.
EDIT:
They did. [url]http://www.sourcefilmmaker.com/saxxyawards2014/?cat=action[/url]

It was entered last year, the main changes are several new scenes and a few characters having their lines rerecorded, from what I can tell
In all fairness it deserves at least a nomination and last year there were a lot of good entries so it unfortunately fell below the line

Wow that ending was really heartbreaking
Its a crime the animator got so lazy towards the end, it really contrasts with the rest of the short because it was so well done and creative and the last part is just... lazy with a meme at the end. :(

He could've played it from the imbedded player on the post and therefore didn't see the description.

Man, it has been some time since I laughed this much at an SFM video. Finished or not, this guy deserves some kind of recognition for his contribution to SFM comedy.
Scout VA wasn't too bad either.

What the fuck that was incredible

The music was fantastic. If you really pay attention to it, you can hear all these audio cues, like it taking on a mild french style when the spies show up etc.
I also think that the voice acting was awesome and they captured all of the merc's personalities very well. The editing was fantastic and I absolutely love the first 10 seconds (especially when the title shows up). All of the subtle details too, like "Pull up dumbass" while the scout plane was nose diving just made me laugh. All in all I really hope that the fact it wasn't finished doesn't deter it from getting a high spot, as it still deserves it.
