How's This? This is my first video demonstration! Tell me if something is wrong in this video. SkullCake (talk) 11:35, 3 November 2014 (PST)

Hey there SkullCake, pretty solid attempt at your first demonstration, however there are a few things you may want to fix up.

• During the scout clip, you missed the Medic with your second crit swing.
• During the Scout clip you also switched to your primary after taunting. This bug happened after the Love and War update. To fix this I believe you just taunt once with your melee before recording and it should be fine.
• During most of your clips there is blood, explosion marks and bullet holes present. I suggest either reloading the map before recording or typing "r_cleardecals" This will clean up this mess.
• Not sure if it's just me, but the music seems to loop kinda badly. (I have had problems with the music doing this too!) An example of this is at 0:59.
• When you kill the medic in the soldier clip try to look at his body. (You're standing on top of him.)
• After most of your taunts it's obvious that you cut the video and pasted new footage of your character standing there idle. Is this because they kept switching to the primary weapon? Since I said above how to fix this you shouldn't have a problem with this now. :)
• Not sure if it's just me also, but do you have your brightness turned up? The video looks a bit saturated.

These are things that I spotted, you will want to wait for Wind's response. Don't be put off dude, as this is your first demonstration. Also, just a minor note, when a new weapon is added it's a good idea to wait a week before demonstrating it. (It's been 5 days!) Although this seems like a minor rule, it's still there for a reason! :D Obilisk 04:00, 4 November 2014 (PST)

I cut the video because when I tried to taunt the character was making that halloween dance and it seemed to me the music loop is badly. I'll try to fix that! SkullCake (talk) 04:33, 4 November 2014 (PST)

Oh right, they would have been doing the Thriller taunt. try putting "tf_forced_holiday 0" into your console, it may work. Otherwise you may have to wait for the halloween event to end in a week. Obilisk 04:42, 4 November 2014 (PST)

This is probably the best first-time-attempt demo ever to date (and it's a pretty long demo too). Obilisk caught all that was needed. Some transitions are a bit fast in the engineer clips too. — Wind 16:48, 9 November 2014 (PST)

How's this? After each taunt it is easy to see that the camera cuts to first person, rather than zooming in from third, however this seems to happen with every weapon that you taunt with, Valve must have added it in the last patch. Either way, how is it? Obilisk 20:11, 22 November 2014 (PST)

Either way the recent update has made this weapon glow with crits. I'll update the video asap. Obilisk 23:27, 27 November 2014 (PST)

Cool, should be good now. Watch Obilisk 06:57, 29 November 2014 (PST)

There's no issue with this video, but I want to give more time for SkullCake to submit his updated version if any. Please upload by december 12 if SkullCake doesn't have a new version ready by then. — Wind 17:08, 30 November 2014 (PST)

Demonstration is fine but it only demonstrates wins against the other team. Try to select clips where you win one (against blu or red) and lose one (against blu or red). That way it shows both winning and losing animation for all classes, and it shows the case where you explode which is currently not demonstrated. — Wind 16:54, 2 August 2014 (PDT)

Conga

Not sure how to do this one but let me try something, any suggestion? Karmacharger 1:12 PM 7/17/2014 (PDT)

Show each of the nine classes conga-ing in tr_target separately, for the full length that the conga music file lasts? Or here's another idea: Show one class conga-ing by himself, then show all nine classes in a row conga-ing? You'd need eight other human players connected to a server running the special tr_target map, though. Anyone got some other ideas? Oh! You could use the High Five! taunt demonstration as a guide... Dogman15 (talk) 01:24, 25 July 2014 (PDT)

I think you should show you and a bot doing the conga first, then you have a hallway with alternate BLUs and REDs (to show that the taunt is universal with both teams) joining you with the Conga line.--Blarpbarp (talk) 14:34, 18 August 2014 (PDT)

You should show also that the conga taunt disables people identification. You dont see any names from your teammates while doing the conga taunt. Magicalpony (talk) 04:21, 21 August 2014 (PDT)

Pumpkin bomb

does it really need a video? Karmacharger 4:52 AM 10/19/2014 (PDT)

Not really. That or the other mechanics would need videos too (ghosts, halloween bosses, spells, etc) — Wind 19:59, 27 October 2014 (PDT)

The video beginning sound overlaps with the scout's "Wanna dance" line, which makes it sound like the line is cut. Also, like all the other two-people taunts, please add a full wait attempt of the taunt before the taunting with the first partner of each class, not just the scout — Wind 15:26, 22 November 2014 (PST)

Flippin' Awesome

 This demonstration has been reserved: Obilisk 06:57, 8 October 2014 (PDT)

How's this? I've noticed that a few parts may be a bit glitchy / jittery... This is just Fraps being Fraps. Another small glitch that I've noticed is in the loadout preview the characters doing the flip taunt have very bad lip syncing issues, and glitchy animations on a few of the classes. Other than that, tell me what you think. Obilisk 07:00, 8 October 2014 (PDT)

Re: bad lipsync, see if it's transient during the loadout view. If it is then keep trying until you get a good view. If not, then either try to select an angle where it's not too visible (but still from the front of the character) or select a subset of the clip that doesn't include voice (as long as it's longer than ~4s). The engineer one is particularly bad...

Also, you forgot the loadout view for the spy.

Last but not least, let the taunt time out once in every clip before the first successful attempt, like the other partner taunt demonstrations. — Wind 18:10, 10 October 2014 (PDT)

Decal Tool

 This demonstration has been reserved: Obilisk 06:18, 22 October 2014 (PDT)

How's this? During the dragging of the sliders in the gradient view my cursor appears to flicker... Is this a problem? I'm not sure how to overcome this, my computer won't stop doing this. Also I did not include the rotation of the sign in the preview, due to the fact it appears that valve has removed that function... Trying to drag it just does nothing. Will this be a problem? Obilisk 06:36, 22 October 2014 (PDT)

No problem regarding the cursor or the preview rotation. However, two other problems:

• Music is not looping properly
• In the loadout view at the end, the conscientious objector item slot is in the hovered state while you're rotating the pyro

— Wind 19:59, 27 October 2014 (PDT)

Should be alright now. Obilisk 06:44, 29 October 2014 (PDT)

I just pre-ordered the item so I can take care of it when it arrives on November. --Akuago220, The Jungle Expeditioner (talk) 07:16, 24 August 2014 (PDT)

Do we have to wait until November to be able to do this one ? I have the item and I could do it, unless we have to wait for it to become tradable of course. Tenacious Taco 13:47, 17 September 2014 (PDT)

You'd probably want to wait for it to be tradable, otherwise the demonstration may be misleading, stating it's "Untradable" Either way though, Akuago has reserved this demonstration, so you may want to do a different demonstration. Obilisk 17:14, 18 September 2014 (PDT)

Sorry for the delay, but I wasn't aware of how fast they would send the code. I thought it would be packaged with the item itself. Anyway, here it finally is, in 60 fps. Download it here. --Akuago220, The Jungle Expeditioner (talk) 13:46, 23 November 2014 (PST)

UI glitch at 0:11: The third slot is showing in its "hovered" state despite not being hovered. Also while you're at it, no need to hover that slot during the first backpack view (but do need to show that it's empty by moving your mouse off from the other slot though). 60fps looks pretty great — Wind 17:08, 30 November 2014 (PST)

If that's all, then hopefully this should do it. Download it here. --Akuago220, The Jungle Expeditioner (talk) 20:53, 30 November 2014 (PST)

Need to be redone

Black Box

 Reloads rockets (instead of air) as of love/war update Uh hello,i'm new to the wiki... I've noticed this redo has veen reservated for a month already, so i decided to give it a try. As it is my first, please critic on what i should modify/arrange! So far,the only things i missed is the cursor showing in the loadout screen and the last pyro's screen share, to show that reflected rockets give health to the pyro too.If it's good ,please notify me of putting a download link of the .mp4 please. Cheers.Yahiamice (talk) 06:11, 4 August 2014 (PDT)

You can reserve it now. Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 13:13, 4 August 2014 (PDT)

Looks like a pretty solid attempt at your first demonstration Yahiamice. I've spotted a few things you may want to improve.

• As you said, yes the Loadout screen should have your cursor visible.
• I believe you are standing a bit close to the Pyro in the first clip. You should start recording from the position you spawn in. (In the center of the box)
• You should try have smoother and slower mouse movements. You movement is quite jittery and fast, resulting in viewers perhaps getting a bit distracted.
• After you kill the soldier in the first clip you should stare at his body for a bit longer and let the BLU soldier (You) Finish at least most of what he's saying before turning to the Medic.
• Try keep your cursor still in the video, especially with the medic. While you are reloading and staring at him your cursor moves around a bit.
• When taunting try rotate the camera far enough to show the front of the Soldier, not the side.
• Give a bit more time before you shoot the Pyro in the compression blast clip, as you shoot almost instantly after the transition. I'd also suggest standing in the middle of the box. (As I said earlier.)
• Not sure if it's just me but your video seems a bit dark. Do you perhaps have the brightness lowered?
• "[F5] Save this moment!" Appears after the Pyro kills you. It moves a bit glitchy, although you may be able to get away with that.
• And yes as you said, you should include the footage showing the Pyro receiving health from a reflected rocket at the end.

Overall, as I said it's still a good first try. I'd also suggest waiting for Wind's response, as these are just what I spotted. Obilisk 04:20, 6 August 2014 (PDT)

Okay then,i'll try making a better one. But i'd need help from an assistant AND a server hosting the training map... Plus i have no idea why my brightness is like that...Yahiamice (talk) 16:25, 7 August 2014 (PDT)

What Obilisk said. Are you using a ball mouse or something? It feels like your mouse movements are in small intervals rather than a smooth movement. It might just be a consequence of the jittery framerate though (which you should fix as well). There appears to be some sort of color-"correction" or "enhancement" filter going on regarding brightness; this shows up not only the demonstration, but also on the loadout clip (the red attribute text is a lot redder than it actually is in-game, the brown-ish background is a lot darker, etc). Also, this demonstration is being redone so that the soldier doesn't reload air in the rocket launcher, but here it looks like it's still air. Did Valve not fix it? If so, this demonstration shouldn't be redone at all — Wind 17:02, 10 August 2014 (PDT)

I tested reloading the Black Box and it appears that the update did change it so it shows the rocket, however it is very hard to see with the default (65) fov. Obilisk 22:15, 10 August 2014 (PDT)

Yes, need to reload for both the last and second-to-last clips. I didn't notice the medkit in the first clip before you pointed it out though. I don't think it's a big deal but feel free to fix it too while you're at it — Wind 19:59, 27 October 2014 (PDT)

Bunch o' things:

• Video looks badly aliased :(
• No need for the "enemy's POV" text. (Also, when text does need to be used, it should have a TF2 font)
• Enemy POV doesn't match the video. It looks like a different demo...? You need to run two copies of TF2, have a friend help, or set up SourceTV and get a SourceTV demo for this kind of thing.
• Music volume is too loud relative to in-game volume
• Transitions are too abrupt (see existing demos; always leave a few seconds before and after each clip) and a bit too slow (shouldn't be more than half a second of fade)
• No need for "cloak and dagger" and "invisibility watch" labels
• Why the clip at 2:46?

— Wind 15:56, 21 June 2014 (PDT)

Sorry for the massive delay. I've been very busy with exams and such. Either way, here's the demonstration. Please tell me what you think. Obilisk 04:37, 16 November 2014 (PST)

• As the comment above says, no need for "cloak and dagger" and "invisibility watch" labels since the watches are visible.
• Look at the dispenser while you're using it at 3:24. It's hidden behind a pillar and for some reason the heal beam sound isn't playing so it's not obvious that you're being healed by a dispenser.
• There's no need for a "fall from a high place" clip. That's only useful for the dead ringer.

Can I reserve this one? I'm attempting to contribute a whole lot to the wiki. M15513c0mm4nd (talk) 15:13, 16 October 2014 (PDT)

Here's a link to my demonstration. http://youtu.be/bS6vu7KurNQ M15513c0mm4nd (talk) 18:27, 16 October 2014 (PDT)

As I said on the Kritzkrieg demonstration, anyone is able to reserve a demonstration. Nice attempt for your first video dude, there's a few minor problems you may want to fix.

• You appear to have quite jittery/rapid movement of your crosshair, mainly evident at 0:29.
• You don't need to spin up / down the barrel between targets. However, if you do, let the spin down animation finish before spinning it up again.
• When you first shoot the Pyro, try to only shoot him once then wait. Repeat this until (s)he is dead.
• You don't need to shoot all the targets with burst fire. After killing the Pyro, kill the soldier and medic with full auto fire.
• Try to only shoot the back target with one small burst, not two.
• When you taunt, try to move the camera with one single motion. (You appear to move, stop then move again)
• You do not need the clip at 0:59. Instead, I'd recommend watching the current Natascha demonstration, and mimicking the clips there, as it meets the criteria. (https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Natascha)
• From watching the current Natascha demonstration you'll also notice that you're missing the split screen clip, and the move comparison clip.
• The reason this demonstration needs to be redone is because we need to "Show movement speed comparison of shooting, spinning and walking." To do this you'll need to use a 3 way splitscreen. I still have a good exemplar in my Minigun demonstration at 0:47. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwLsk6ICvQ0&)
• I believe your fade in and fade out are a bit quick, try increase the duration to I think it's about half a second?

These are the things that I spotted, however you will want to wait for Wind's response, as he is in charge of the weapon demonstration project. It is hard starting out demonstrating weapons - My suggestion would be to constantly refer to the current demonstration of the weapon to get an idea of how to demonstrate the item. Don't be put off, as this is your first demonstration! :) Obilisk 19:48, 16 October 2014 (PDT)

What Obilisk said, and also:

• You must use antialiasing (2x or more). The edges look blocky in the video.
• Use a higher video bitrate. The video gets full of artifacts during quick transitions. For example, here's what the video looks like right after the taunt ends.

Generally though, follow the existing Natachsa demo as closely as possible for the existing clips as reference. Good luck~ — Wind 19:59, 27 October 2014 (PDT)

That's not enough of a reason to redo this — Wind 15:00, 13 September 2014 (PDT)

Questions and Proposals

Note: This section is for questions and proposals that aren't specific to a single weapon. If you think a demo ought to be remade, then make an entry for it in the Need to be Redone section above and it will be dealt with.

Backscatter

I would like to make a demonstration for the backscatter, I feel like there should be some love & war weapon demonstrations out by now anyways. I would love to make one. Zenip19 (talk) 14:37, 11 August 2014 (PDT)

Backscatter demonstraiton is done already, it's in the Archive 48. Karmacharger 6:33 AM 8/12/2014 (PDT)

Yeah, we should push soon. Not this weekend though because I just pushed soundtracks. — Wind 17:42, 17 August 2014 (PDT)

Item sets

I would like to remove all item sets +effect videos from youtube which makes people still think that you get set bonus from wearing these items. Alternate idea: Change the youtube description?  ; Also item set possibilities like reskins should be explained or shown somehow(?). Maybe a 2 screen version:
<left> | <right>
<left> = normal set
<right> = reskin = counts as set also. Magicalpony (talk) 11:13, 16 August 2014 (PDT)

If there's any video where the backpack view still shows item set effects (the gameplay-affecting ones), then yes those videos need to be redone. I thought we redid them all though? If you see any left, please report them.

As for your second suggestion, item sets are already demonstrated. Showing all skin possibilities would be a lot of work for little benefit though. — Wind 17:42, 17 August 2014 (PDT)

More as in the description it is stated. Set Demonstration: The Expert's Ordnance desc: Effects: +10% fire damage resistance on wearer ; i only saw this because of looking for the ullapool caber video which was/is private. Magicalpony (talk) 20:17, 17 August 2014 (PDT)

Oh, derp. Made is unlisted and added the Ullapool Caber to be to-redo list. It still shows the +10% set effect, but it seems like we forgot to redo it — Wind 17:15, 22 August 2014 (PDT)

Backpack UI

In regards to the item demonstrations, it seems that the backpack UI has slightly changed. When hovering your cursor over empty inventory spaces in your backpack it no longer shows the white border around the slot, but rather just makes a clicking noise. I'm not sure if this is a permanent addition to the backpack UI, but should we still make the item demonstrations or wait and see if Valve change it? Obilisk 07:02, 8 October 2014 (PDT)

Even if it's permanent, it's too small of a change to justify redoing everything — Wind 18:10, 10 October 2014 (PDT)

Halloween Spells

We need some demonstrations for the Halloween Spell cosmetics dropped from gifts on Ghost Fort. They've been out for three Halloween Events now and it's still very hard to find out how they look. They didn't even have accurate descriptions until today. I tried to post some temporary demonstration videos to encourage official ones to be made, but they were removed immediately. The temporary videos were: Paints, Footprints, Weapon Effects Zoshi (talk) 15:02, 26 October 2014 (PDT)

The problem is that if these get made, then suddenly someone's going to use it as justification for making demonstration videos of unusual hats and whatnot. These are purely cosmetic effects (gameplay not affected) and they're pretty numerous (i.e. long to make and possibly high-maintenance). I don't think it's worth doing. A screenshot would be pretty good though. It's easy to create and, for such items, is just as good as a video. — Wind 19:59, 27 October 2014 (PDT)
