This really encapsulates the tf2 community when seal update dropped. Literally everyone in my game stopped shooting each other when they saw the seal and started being friendly and started messing around.
Useless trivia: tf2team was the name used by the team developing and updating tf2. Kinda outdated now since there is only 1-2 people working part time on it
Soldier: "I have known Seal for 10 seconds, and If anything were to happen to her I would kill everyone here and then myself!" TF2 Community: "Agreed!"
Gahaha, fantastic! The stop-frame style is done tastefully here, most SFM animators use it as a crutch to not spline their unfinished animation, here it's done with purpose! You magnificent ball of energy and talent!
Thanks man, I always wanted to experiment with different animation styles. I won't lie if I said the stepped animation keyframes can be a bit of a crutch because it negates a lot of issues such as gimbal lock. Obviously I had a goal with this style and animated most of the animation in 2's and sometimes 4's. It's a lot of fun and surprisingly time efficient since I don't have to worry about every single detail in terms of the smoothness of the animation since I can kind of get away with still frames with this animation style being more cartoony
I see a lot of animators try the Ceno0 low framerate style, but motion is important beyond an artstyle. It can show a character's emotion, convey weight, and make the characters feel much more lifelike. You need the right balance of exaggeration, subtle movements, and expressiveness to make a low FPS animation look lifelike, and this animation succeeded where others failed. Great job!
More Then Ever. ! But so many things are missing. i wish Eric Smith We take care look it later. God... Last Team Fortress 2 Team Developer. + Valve Veteran Developer. He deserved to Medal for he never leaved to Team Fortress 2 Team
Selbyen is unironically a great map, I know its easy to say because SEAL TF2 but seal jokes aside. It's just really fun, fairly balanced (mostly) and aesthetically just really pretty to look at. I love the vibrant colors. All I can say is great job with it man! And congrats on having it added to the summer update!
I love how he took the effort to not only animate the seal even cuter than she already is, but to stick a Blahaj in every different scene in the entire video.
I always love when character relationships are accurate to the comics. Demo man and soldier joking around and being friends in any form of TF2 media always makes my day brighter
I wonder if someone made a seal tattoo based on the tf2 seal we all cherish and spoil with fish. Amazing work as always cannot wait for future projects
This reminds me of the WW1 story where the British and the Germans stopped fighting for a night to celebrate Christmas and just have a good time. Sadly the next day the fighting continued and the men who didn’t want to fight there new Germen/British friends were either killed or put in jail.
it feels like sfm makers are a hivemind that when one person learns a technique, the entire species of sfm-ers do amd this contains all the stuff im glad they collected
oh yeah we truly are a hivemind lol. This style of animation pretty much began with Ceno0 really I believe, which likely he got inspired from anime and Spider verse
This was an emotional rollercoaster, from fear for the seal actulally k,ll,ng me then happiness with the seal and fun time then sadness with him leaving or her, masterpiece
I'd like to think that because of this seal, RED and BLU set aside their differences and signed a peace contract, which includes going to visit that seal every week.
I love this! It's so wholesome, and the animation style (I believe it's using stepped tangents/animated on 2s) is so well-done with the strong poses used. Amazing work!
Holy moly I love this, great animation man love the style and the facial animations especially! *Love how the Mercs brought Olivia mann and that other guy along too see SEAL* This has our SEAL of approval!

One day I'm gonna show my grandkids this photo montage
I thought you were making fun of the video for a second, and then the actual montage showed up
definitely one of the photo montages of all time
You wouldn’t need to show them because this game is eternal remember?
Halo TF2 crossover
Seal
The seal is joy.
The seal is happiness.
The seal is friendship.
Seal is squish. Seal gets lots of "8"s from those who see it and immediately dote.
There many reasons for us having hands, 1 is cherishing the seal, 2 is holding the seal, 3 is to forfeit all mortal possesions to the seal
Seal is life
@@Thatoneguyanimations Seal is best❤
Swear to god the sound of the seal and the closed eyes smile it gives to you when looking left is just adorable
Доктор ливси анимация ❤❤❤
@@Еваева-ж4дДаун, ты где доктора увидел?
It’s so adorable

This really encapsulates the tf2 community when seal update dropped. Literally everyone in my game stopped shooting each other when they saw the seal and started being friendly and started messing around.
The TF2 community sometimes stops fighting when exploring something fun or new. The Conga had a similar effect way back when.
@@BlueShellshockGod i missed the servers when the conga dropped
@bruhler then make a better one
Fr
Because squish. Everyone loves squish and wants to give it an "8"
I certainly do 😭
The tf2 mercs would be the kind of team to go on a rampage to escort a seal a few yards into the ocean
And that's what I like about the tf2 mercs
Useless trivia: tf2team was the name used by the team developing and updating tf2. Kinda outdated now since there is only 1-2 people working part time on it
@@murmurghleits the tf2 now
@emreozel5493 I meant the mercs. In my defense I was probably tired at the time
They’re professional, they have standards not monsters
I love how Soldier and Demoman had good sportsmanship during their fight, really shows the friendship they have
Soldier: "I have known Seal for 10 seconds, and If anything were to happen to her I would kill everyone here and then myself!"
TF2 Community: "Agreed!"
Based Soldier TF2
i LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!😊

I even realised the tune of the start which sounds like a hat in times tune
My boy really said gahaha
That seal is adorable and deserves all the happiness and fish it could eat. Beautiful how it brought two teams together.
Fantastic work, as always.
More Then Ever. ! But so many things are missing. i wish Eric Smith We take care look it later. God... Last Team Fortress 2 Team Developer. + Valve Veteran Developer. He deserved to Medal for he never leaved to Team Fortress 2 Team
Just like in the games
And all the "8"s as seal gets doted on, blissfully happy the whole time, by the Mercs losing their minds over the cuteness.
seal 🙌🙌
the seal has officially became the tf2 communities obsession and i love it
My heart can't take this level of wholesomeness!
Friendship for everyone!
It literally brought both sides together!
It's the Love & War Dance Update 2.0 😄
Cuteness overload 😭
@@TF2CrunchyFrogthe updated everyone needed
The moment when Soldier said "Oh hello, demoman" friendly, you already know, that the SFM will be wholesome
well that seals the deal.
this is officially the most wholesome tf2 update animation
and the use of hat in time music is just glorious
A hat in time is such an underrated game with an even more underrated soundtrack
@@lolripk I really wish there was more than just the 2 dlc's
Both games have lack of updates
So they fit
I love how the seal stops the teams from killing each other and just bringing them all together like a big family love it! :]
seal's best companion is the crocodile
What about the snakes?
@@jockdouglass3824 snakes are good companions too.
And snakes...
TFzoo
Yup @@hatless9382
and that's here is a perfect nod to soldier-demo friendship, love it
This has no business being as good as it was, I'm in awe... keep it up!
This is incredible!!!! Thank you for doing our funny little map justice!
Selbyen is unironically a great map, I know its easy to say because SEAL TF2 but seal jokes aside. It's just really fun, fairly balanced (mostly) and aesthetically just really pretty to look at.

0:38 seal jumpscare
AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
0:57
soldier really just said what everyone thought when they saw Sylvie for the first time
Perfectly encapsulates how me among other many other people felt when first going into this map
I still love how every animation makes both teams stop with the rivalry to do something more important
The seal truly is more important
1:37 ITS PERFECT
I always love when character relationships are accurate to the comics. Demo man and soldier joking around and being friends in any form of TF2 media always makes my day brighter
This brought a tear to my eye. It’s just so wholesome.
I’m so happy that they put Aside their differences just for that frackin’ adorable seal
01:04 THERE IT IS THERES MY FAVOURITE A HAT IN TIME OST
I’m not into TF2 anymore but I still stick around to see what these SFM channels are up to and they do not disappoint. Keep up the good work!!
The seal is so powerful that it was able to bring the RED and BLU teams together! Even Olivia is there. Finally, World Peace. (≧◡≦)
Tf2 Soldier:(salutes) Amen.
This is my absolute favorite seal animation yet, it's SO full of charm and TF2 goodness
1:14
I was thinking that Demoman is going to fade away at this moment. I laugh so hard, I had a twitch
And kablooey??
I see Rei doll is moving. 1:52
AA THIS IS SO CUTE!!! The seal acts like a big ol’ dog and seeing them all bond over the seal like a happy family a :’)
I love how Pootis Engage is to the TF2 fanbase what Into The Spiderverse is for animated movies as a whole.
I just noticed how there’s a blue toy shark hidden in almost every animated shot
How to bring a community together:
Seals
I wonder if someone made a seal tattoo based on the tf2 seal we all cherish and spoil with fish.
Amazing work as always cannot wait for future projects
2:02 you thought you could sneak joint Fishki in there.
Also SEAL!
anyone who hurts my seal baby must rip
Dear god I will not live without that seal
Oh, thank God, I thought it was gonna get munched by an Orca at the end.
This reminds me of the WW1 story where the British and the Germans stopped fighting for a night to celebrate Christmas and just have a good time. Sadly the next day the fighting continued and the men who didn’t want to fight there new Germen/British friends were either killed or put in jail.
Pyro sees a seal with cute intensifiers
I would defend this *SEE-AL* with my life.
Perfect choice of music; using tracks from the very part of A Hat in Time that’s full of seals.
The funny part is Demo and Soldier probably would actually act this way.
Pls, valve, never, NEVER remove this gamemode
it feels like sfm makers are a hivemind that when one person learns a technique, the entire species of sfm-ers do
amd this contains all the stuff im glad they collected
oh yeah we truly are a hivemind lol.
This style of animation pretty much began with Ceno0 really I believe, which likely he got inspired from anime and Spider verse
@@lolripk we gotta put everything together as long as possible
that was beautiful. Thank you for really showing this side of the TF2 community and why we all love it.
And the seal brought peace once again.
Bro, i loved the whole thing, but THE SEAL MOVING THE MOUTH IN THAT WAY WITH THAT SOUND EFFECT. IM AMAZED!
This was an emotional rollercoaster, from fear for the seal actulally k,ll,ng me then happiness with the seal and fun time then sadness with him leaving or her, masterpiece
demoman & soldier: screaming 0:40
I'd like to think that because of this seal, RED and BLU set aside their differences and signed a peace contract, which includes going to visit that seal every week.
i like how the music is from a hat in time: SEAL the deal dlc
1:28 is that a phoque en Alaska?
This is the cutest TF2 SFM video I've ever seen probably! Love the animation style so much too
Good animation, I could see this as a genuine reaction of the mercs when seeing the seal.
The fact that this Was entirely Animated Keyframe By Keyframe In Instant Transtion/Stop Motion Makes the person Who made this Deserves More respect
Good choice of Seal the Deal music from Hatty Time.
Jeez no wonder this entire map and objective is about RED and BLU fighting over being able to feed the seals the most
I have no words to describe how amazing this animation is
And that's the begin of lore friendly's player TF2
i was crying and still crying because of his beauty
That was so cute. I loved the animation style too! Keep up the great work you do :)
I love this! It's so wholesome, and the animation style (I believe it's using stepped tangents/animated on 2s) is so well-done with the strong poses used. Amazing work!
looking at this reminds me again how i wish those soldier and demo domination lines weren't cut
yeah they're pretty cool, I actually should have used some of them in this animation
This is simply beautiful🗿❤
Looks a bit like claymation. I love it
Bless this wonderful animation!
And thus, the summer of 23' was perfect.
until we realized this may be the only update for the next 25 years.
Love the style! And super adorable.
And dunno how you did it but my house's power fully went out while I was watching it, impressive!
The Seal was too powerful
and from that day they visit their beloved seal everyday
this put a smile on my face, absolutely love it!
“Is nice.” -Heavy
I like how every time the seal shows up in a video it's always is so freaking adorable! And hilarious how everyone finds it extremely cute.
The nostolgic hat in time music 😭😭😭
Holy moly I love this, great animation man love the style and the facial animations especially!
*Love how the Mercs brought Olivia mann and that other guy along too see SEAL*
This has our SEAL of approval!
This is so freakin adorable.
I’m crying right now
this style of animation reminds like a stopmotion, loving it! this deserves more attention❤
Ngl I love your hard work and I love the seal you made it’s so adorable keep up the hard work!
Happy to see 2 opposite teams coming together in happiness for the precious seal
Bad ending: Demo straffed, and eyelandered the seal
I love how like years lasting enemies make peace over a seal
I honestly love the low frames animation you did therre, i dunno why it's a really great appeal
That animation style fits so well! Cant wait for more like this 🙌
im surprised by the lack of the use of the word "water doggo"
I was fully expecting them all to go back to fighting when the seal left, but I’m satisfied with this ending instead
“Sometimes friendship doesn’t last forever, but be happy that it happened”
This kinda makes sense lore wise because Demoman and Soldier have cut lines of them being friends.
I was not feeling happy past 2 years but this video make me genuinely happy. And for the first time in a long I smiled:) Great video.
We love you Seal TF2, and you too lolripk
"is nice"
-tf2 heavy
Who else noticed the shark plushie in almost every shot.
Yeah me two
This is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen all day, it’s beautiful! Keep up the good work.
missed opportunity to make the teams go back to killing each other after the seal leaves to make the ending more comedic
This was a very heartwarming video.
This is by far my new favorite TF2 video I’ve ever seen
