A TF2 Machinima?
Published January 4th, 2008 by Wolfull

As I’ve been enjoying TF2 a little too much I thought I might try my hand at making a one off Machinima.

Rough Outline

  • Based around the exploits of a spy.
  • Comedy
  • Map will be either Forts of Gravel Pit
  • Will only use in game sound effects (not including music)
    • hence no voice recordings, and wont have to worry about lipsyncing

Possible Story lines

  • Idea #1, A bumbling spy who always screwing up
  • Idea #2, A fear inducing spy
    • This idea will be somewhat of a black comedy
    • Blue team is only a spy (main character)
    • Red Team is a heavy, engineer, scout + maybe pyro
      • Red time will be on defense(or acting defensively)

Probably Issues

  • You need a dedicated Camera character, as when recording demos in TF2 it only records from the first person.
    • So I’ll also need to find a way to disable the HUD
    • I presume NOCLIP still works in TF2
      • Ideally there is a way to limit the movement speed of NOCLIP to allow for smooth dolly-esque shots
  • Might need to beg and plead with my friends to lend me on of their Steam accounts to experiment with.
  • Also since I can’t script anything I will be need to find players/friends willing to waste a few hours recording with me
