song: • Anomi - White Room (Fu...
(also by me!)
The results of my 42-day long, self-imposed animation challenge!
Each day I had a strict 40 minute time limit, plus a strict 80 minute time limit per-shot.
The purpose of this exercise was to challenge myself as an animator, and practice the essentials in terms of demonstrating action and storytelling under strict time limits
Let me know how I did!
I will be starting soon on another animation challenge regarding walk cycles; so let me know if you'd like to see that! Feel free to drop some feedback below or in my discord server, Anomalous Materials!

these interloper demos are getting weirder by the second
Lol
Legit what I thought, until I realized it wasn’t part of the arg
Shut up
Lmao
type 5 demos
and this concludes my "what the hell have I been working on the past few months" trilogy. More to come, don't worry.
Thanks for watching everyone!
These are all sick, dude! Keep up the good work!
very epic
YOU JUST HAD TO PUT THE X AT THE END MANNNNNN (seriously though amazing animation. you deserve all the recognition and more.)
Wow! Exciting stuff.
1:40 ok so the woman instead of just typing "soldier dies" she decides to type "huge vault crushes soldier" very great and amazing thinking (jokes aside cool animation)
I LOVE the idea of a Valve character beat-em-up where the valve itself is the Smash Ball of sorts. It's a super cool idea, especially the cutscene where the valve is on the character's head!
how would it work on a headcrab tho without it loooking like its in his ass
Yea! that would be such a cool way to be like "oh shit better run"
That medic kick animation was so insane to me lmao. Just very fluid even without the extra frames
I love intentionally low framerate animation
Really reminds me of claymation or old stop motion animations.
Spiderverse style
Same
yeah its gonna be my animation style
amazing job anomi ❤
you're such a hard worker, and it really shows here
love the music and sound effects
You did such a good job at telling a story in a short time. Each clip was compelling!
Oh hey, didn’t expect to see the bread pirate commenting on one of anomidaes videos
What can I say. I love this guy's work. @@antlionworkerfan2007
@@TheBreadPirateI love your content man! 😊😊
These animations are great keep up the good work
You would not imagine the smile on my face when I saw Guard Dog. Glad to see that he hasn't been forgotten
1:58 "one must imagine Sisyphus happy"
2:18 Guard dog animation is jsut freaking adorable 😭
I seen some of those animations on Twitter earlier. Still can't process how can you do that in 80 minutes, but you sit in SFM since forever so that's just skill. Really cool btw.
If TF2 ever has end of round animations like Overwatch, they'd better hire you to do them
Amazing work! I love the solid posing, especially with details like Medic's coat tails swishing as he spin kicks.
oh damn, guess i remembered about interloper at the perfect time lol. finished watching 5 and subscribed + turned notifs on (i thought they were already on lol), watched 6 and saw that this was posted in notifications
true lol
Two possibilities, either this has nothing to with the Interloper ARG, or it does.
1) It is part of the Interloper ARG.
- The video is called "I challenged myself... every day for a month..." A month has at max 31 days, so there should only be at maximum 31 animations. Yet somehow there are 42? (maybe Anomidae didn't exactly work for a month, but slightly longer) Also he mentioned that it takes two days to for him to create a animation, meaning he either had to work for 84 days on this (which is longer than a month) or used some kind of tool to create or at least assist in creating animations for him.
- Some Animations look choppy, others very smooth, one of the ones that is very smooth uses a civilian model, which isn't from TF2 but HλLF-LIFE². (to be fair, there are plenty models that aren't from TF2, so this could just be a coincidence) Hinting, but not proving, at the fact that they might have been generated by the interloper command, or at least use the dynamic npcs, and weren't handmade.
2) It isn't part of the Interloper ARG.
-Except for the appearence of the civilian model from HλLF-LIFE², it has nothing to do with the Interloper ARG as far as we can tell.
In conclusion, I personally believe that his video could prove to have lore significant content in the future, we just don't know it yet.
TLDR: There are way to many animations for the timespan Anomidae provides, and some animations look smoother than other ones, there was also a civilian model which could've been a dynamic npc. This video might be part of the ARG.
In any case, those were some pretty good animations
I mean, the video ends with the red “X” which definitely signifies it plays into project skybox; also with the fact than animidae himself isn’t hearting any comments that mention project skybox. Showing that “in the arg” this is what he’s been doing for the last 3 months.
???
omg gamw jackr!!!! stop jacking on my gamw boro!!
The choppy look is SO nostalgic and charming! I adore it. Also, the brawlhalla style was very cute.
I think it's smash bros not brawlhalla
@@bucket6079 it's difficult to tell as theyre both platform fighters, but the physics feels wrong for smash. bh is a lot lighter and floatier, with the low pyro throws out feeling VERY brawlhalla. its hard to describe but idk, it matches the look of it more in my eyes
@@Lily-ed8flat around 1:34 pyro grabs on the ledge of the platform, which is only possible in smash. the floatiness is also because smash is also a bit floaty
@@Lily-ed8flalso, at 2:45 demo grabs an upgrade thingie, which in brawlhalla would usually give u weapons, not a special ability
3:02 oh my god is this a boulder? Oh my god i can't unsee it now
*"One must imagine Heavy Weapons Guy happy."*
me and the birds by duster starts playing
Great work as always Anom
I like how for day 10 we know exactly what class that's meant to be
These type 6 demos looking sick
The small bits of lighting used for emphasis on days 16 and 18 are lovely.
Beautiful, your animations are very distinct and can tell they’re made with purpose. It isn’t easy to do something like this in respect to your full time job and life. (Great music choice btw)
these are sick, glad we even got to see mimi lmao
Absolutely beautiful my dude
1:40 ok so the woman instead of just typing "soldier dies" she decides to type "huge vault crushes soldier" very great and amazing thinking
That conclusion felt really epic. Fantastic work btw 👏
these animations have opened my 3rd eye thank you
Fantastic work! I love the personality that was put into each animation. Keep it up!
Congrats to Anomi for using tf2 sfm for that much without wanting to delete himself.
You're going to have a busy year, Anomidae!!!
Imagine my surprise when my friend told me the guy who made my absolute favorite arg of all time also used my funny little mini sentry girl in one of his animations. Its an honor! Great work both inside and outside of your work on Interloper.
Dude these are incredible! It looks like such a fun exercise and the perspectives are amazing wonderful work man!
i don't know why but this storyboardish kind of animation always feels like home for me.
Love your style
this is a really impressive challenge and the results are very pleasing to watch
I love the style!
This is one of the greatest animation quality I've ever seen. Amazing!
Absolutely beautiful and deserves way more recognition.
Amazing work! Those animations are so sick!
Yooo Keep up with the Good Work Your Improving!
More Experiencing and Playbacks neither which if it is bad or smooth its still good
These are really good Anomi! For just 40 minutes a day, managing as much as you did in only 42 days is amazing! Keep up the great work c:
spiderverse-y animation just works so well for tf2. makes me wish valve made the meat the team videos in this style.
Wow these animations are so clean! Great job!
This is how I imagine TF2 would be like if it had end of match animations for MVPs
I can´t wait for more awesome works from you after (that work c ; ) in the future
So good
the spy animation on robot heavy was sick
nvm pyro smash bros was the best
wtf this is crazy, subbing for that.
Ohhhh so thats what you were doing on the discord, I loved it btw!
These are awesome!! I hope to be as good as you one day :)
Phenomenal work!!!!
interloper demo type 6,demos that show sfm animations of characters consisting of characters form tf1/2,hl1/2,lfd1/2,portal1/2 and many more source engine games
My only complaint is that Saxton would be able to lift that rock with his pinkie alone, but you did amazing job anomi lol
Some people just ooze talent, and you are definitely one of them.
Tea for two, heavy weapons guy?
But really, these animations are sick
Oh man, that's pretty cool. Honestly that's a good idea to do the animation a day challenge but with SFM, never seen it done before. Can't imagine the pain you went through to do it though.
This is all so insanely impressive
Amazing work on the ballonicorn!!
i am impressed
great job anomi
this kicks butt! happy to see some of your animation prowess outside of the series. cant recall seeing sfm done in this stop-motioning sort of style either theres a lot of character to it
Nice job dude, I didn't think you would use zeph and pauling
interloper type 6 demos found & confirmed to be real
It’s crazy the quality of stuff you can make in an hour and 20 minutes per animation
i just, cant believe they only have 80 minutes put into them... gosh, i love them and your style so much!
Good stuff, cheers man
that music literally gives me the fucking willies I'm addicted to how "scary" it sounds, super offputting.
Best arg and animator....like for real you have just as good talent as ceno0
Hey i saw you! Your videos in the SFM server. Good Job Dude!
Dude! These are amazing
2:27 "Ain't that a good boy!" -Engineer (STBlackST)
the spy one felt like a fighting game special
this is awesome!!!!!!!
i LOVE the choppy art style.
it's such a unique (and probably quite a hard one too at that) style, dont stop the grind man! :D
I'm sure this will fit into the interloper canon somehow
Really great animations!
That's some amazing job you've done fr
This challenge looks like a nice way to improve your skills, maybe i should participate in it🤔
1:50 That's just fucking funny.
thumbs up for the doggo, very real
You have got to be one of the most talented people in the source community, ever. Like, you created an extremely realistic (probably the most realistic) and technical horror series. Its complete insane how you managed to plan this all out, do all the work in a whole year, then perfectly give upload times, making it ridiculously believable. This just shows that you still want to improve, which is amazing, considering how good you already are.
Very good animation
Hit us with that red X lol
This animation was masterpiece
crucial interloper lore moment at 0:53
when a great sfm animator works on an unfiction project, you get something truly incredible
this was quite the unique fever dream
beautiful man really impressive stuff
This is super impressive. These shots look like they'd take me hours to make, even with just blocking. And these are pretty much all action shots too.
Also, Hale lifting the rock reminds me of that video with Heavy lifting a boulder on degroot keep.
I don't know how many people already said this but I really love your animations man. It's just so satisfying in my eyes
Inspiring, I dare say. I'm still learning how to do blocking and get my timing right without using too many keyframes.
Damn with 40 minutes to make a animation you made things better than me with 3 days of time
Holyshit man I would love to see a 'making of' of some of those animations, great stuff.
part 2 would be cool i really love bits like these insight ful as a aspiring keyframer myself
I liked the way that the scouts like the drink so much
This music is fire 🔥
thanks! I actually made it myself for this video
@Anomidae consider a separate upload lmao
bump
@@Anomidae please make it it's own upload I would like it in my saved music pretty please
No idea if it was intentional, but the scouts all running towards the bonk reminded me of the ending to that old stick figure animation Doors. I should watch those again.
Man, even in your regular stuff I'm still getting jumpscared by ❌
I loved that spy one, so clean
Love the use of lower framates throughout these, and the camerawork too! Not to mention just the super fun concepts and execution of the animation sequences througout :>
Glad you’re having fun with other projects outside SKY//BOX too!
Looks amazing!
Didn't know you can just type "interloper tf2" to get a tf2 demo, cool
