The internet’s appetite for dressing up as videogame characters and acting out the activities we usually play on screen is boundless, as is evidenced by this rather high-quality live action Team Fortress 2 video. It’s a familiar tale of sapping a sentry gun. The film was made by some chaps called Corridor Digital. Go watch, below.

I could have sworn this was on RPS earlier today…

Lord Cobbett tweeted it yesterday – perhaps that’s where you saw it.

Corridor Digital rocks. I recommend watching a few of their other, mostly videogame related videos. They often cooperate with Freddie (Yt-channel: freddiew) and Jimmy Wong (jimmy) and a few other LA based musicians and young filmmakers. It’s quite an impressive creative network.

I’m impressed by the quality of the props in this video, btw. The Minecraft video from them had a lot of papercraft, but here it’s a whole other level.
Great video, besides

This isn’t TF2! Where are all the hats?

Actually there is a medic at 0:26 with a top hat :P

The little text advert that showed up for me was for an online hat shop. I was delighted.

There was no Heavy in that video! I’m sad now.
06/08/2011 at 11:15 DXN says:
VERY BAD!
06/08/2011 at 11:19 RakeShark says:
I don’t blame you for missing the Heavy, the KGBs running by at the 0:26 mark.

But where’s the pyro? I’m so sad now :(.

No freddiew, but pretty cool, yeah!

Technically better than Freddie W, Corridor Digital certainly have superior CG skills.
07/08/2011 at 20:33 Dyst says:
Also, slightly more creative. Freddiew just makes the same video every week.

I’m kind of saddened that they put so much effort into special effects and so little into getting character personalities in the same ballpark as the ones Valve have extensively built up.
06/08/2011 at 12:49 skinlo says:
They are special effects people, look at some of their other videos.
06/08/2011 at 13:15 yurusei says:
Needs more blood. and bits of body parts.
Otherwise, impressive video, that’s alot of effort put in to a fan video.
06/08/2011 at 15:05 Solidstate89 says:
Wow, those production values are as good as a FreddieW video. Good on them.
06/08/2011 at 16:07 sexyresults says:
Awesome! Loved it!
07/08/2011 at 03:02 Berzee says:
Much better than I expected! Primarily because they completely understand which parts are not good and which parts are. =)

Very nice. I also really like this Minecraft video they did – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uyxVmdaJ-w&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
