Who is "we?" Shit's nearly done. Luke's been updating the public. If YOU forgot, then congratz on suddenly remembering again tonight.

Wow that was the most aggressive post I have ever made on this forum. Shit, sorry dude.

Sometimes you gotta break out the big guns.

Salamancer is such a cool guy he apologizes for being somewhat aggressive.

udabes Sal

come on sal, just hug me, dude
\o/

the site crashed for me when I saw this thread popped up in the side bar, so I was hoping it could've been the real deal :(

thanks for the dissapointment

Sal laying down the meat, son

Sal are you okay? First you call blinky out during a stream and now this? :( Where is the old nice Sal

Gettin' old sucks, don't it?

dammit sal you took it too far

i46 was August 25th-26th.

I won't add anything further to this discussion.

Remember that demos were broken for a decent amount of time, though.

Yep, well over two months. I spent easily 50+ hours on a 3 minute frag video (though I'm significantly less experienced than LuckyLuke is so there's that) and the documentary clocks in at 36 minutes. I can barely even imagine how time-consuming that shit was.

My excuse for that post is that apparently vicodin pisses me off.

And yeah, it's definitely been a very long time since the event. I do wish we'd gotten it out a lot sooner, but the product would not have looked nearly as good as it does now.

i hope this gives tf2 more leverage for sponsorship

The docu is looking awesome. There was a lot of footage and audio to handle and break down. We're at 8 months right now, and that's completely reasonable for one person editing a 35-minute movie, basically on volunteer time. Luc's created a bunch of animations for it as well, on top of just regular editing. We could be done in a month, but I'd say either Mid/Late June or a July release date. I'd like to take it to Valve and get some feedback.

We'd like to put out bonus footage, but we've been weighing whether to delay production by having luc work on a more polished preview (there is a good interview with Ruwin we only use a little of), or by just releasing all that stuff fairly untouched after the documentary is finished.

As Sal said, I think we all would have liked to get it out earlier, and move on with our lives, but we also want to make sure it's awesome once it's finished.

I am certain I speak for a large majority of people.

We fully appreciate your efforts and realise this is a big task. We look forward to seeing something when its ready! :)

I think it would be nice to just release unedited footage that isn't being used right now, since everything else is so close to being done. I'm sure people wouldn't mind raw tapes of interviews and stuff.

I'll talk to Luc again. He's actually getting pretty reared up to get back into editing as the workload begins to shift towards Airon (Audio finishing) and the rest of us (final critiques, gathering feedback from a select few others). May Top 10? During that period Luc can prolly get out some of that footage. Will definitely show him this thread.

bump, any updates on this?

"soon"

he called blinky out like a millenium ago
move on kid

To be fair the post you're quoting is itself over a month old which is actually kind of ironic.

Thank god for all the -frags or I would have been disappointed four fifths of a second later.

sorry for making the title misleading

i apologize again for the inconvenience

I would like to see some i49 footage included in this if possible. I realize doing this will most likely throw off the already well established feel of the films story, but I can't help suggesting it. Mainly due to i49 being right around the corner, but it's obvious how much more work/money is involved if it was a possibility. Most great documentaries usually cover their subject piece for many months - years even. Obviously there is no budget to this but I'm just sayin man

I just wanna see it, please dont postpone it ;_;
