Some trivia that may interest you:
The production begun around 2017-11-15 and ended on my 15th birthday which is 2018-06-09. That's around 7 months of work, without any breakes.
I lost the count on how many hours we worked on this, but i have gained around 2000 hours in sfm (rendering is a large part).
Rendering alone took 180 hours to complete (not counting the preview renders that were running almost daily).
I have done around 16-17 minutes of the animation despite the team having so many animators. Steaky and TheGoodChap helped me the most, both doing around 50 seconds of animation let alone polishing. The rest of the animators usually did a shot or two.
The fight scene at the end had 5 diffrent cinematography changes.
We started without a script and scrapped 2 minutes of rough animation. The first renders don't even resemble the final product.
Originally RED heavy receives money from red civilian to train scout, but as they become friends heavy ends up spending all the money on scout and in the second act he gets killed by the blu sniper. This was scrapped because in the video characters already respawn which is a cliche that i shall never repeat :P
Micky once recovered 2 minutes of animation because both of my backup files broke.
There are 10 hidden cats in this video. They are hidden in smear frames and blur. The first person that finds them all will get a reward (you must have a steam account).
This was a lot of fun to do. A LOT.

Anyways, we truly hope that you enjoyed this video. As i was finishing this video i was already writing another screenplay for another video. I'm now taking a little break from animating. Cya! :)
