"After three years, I'm back in Saxxy Awards.

What about if everything you will ever see would be stored in the cloud? All the good and all the bad memories lying on the servers somewhere. But if you had to pay to access your memories, would you want to pay or would you want to forget everything?

As we know, Source Filmmaker is mostly know for funny machinima and excellent Team Fortress 2 short films. But since I started with Source Filmmaker four years ago, I have always wanted to someday create something more original than TF2 films. Since Source Filmmaker is (mostly) great and easy to use tool, it would be relatively easy to create, let's say science fiction short films whit it, right?

Yes, it is entirely possible. I have experimented it few times before and now I'm finally on the scale I wanted. Perfect Memories became over a year long journey (for manuscript) and is by far the biggest animation project I have ever done.

I hope, that even though this short film doesn't include your favourite TF2 character, or a love story between Scout and Femscout, you would like this.

Thanks for watching and thanks to all who have supported so far.

While there are not many its inspiring to see the various film makers like yourself pushing the thematic limits of the Saxxies.

This would make a pimp-ass movie. You have my vote

Woah. This is really impressive. No matter how the awards go you should feel proud of this. It's amazing work.

Took me a bit to realize what just happened, I like it, I will be voting for it. However I don't think it is going to win, as much as I would want it too. This was just too hard to grasp and I think a lot of people might have the same issue...

A like right off the bat from the premise.

I agree with ttmr, maybe she presses a button on the tablet to learn piano before she plays the song or something like that, just to display the concept instead of saying it. Otherwise one of the best drama entries I've seen so far!

Neat concept but the rest just isn't there yet.
ttmr Nov 11, 2016 @ 9:17pm 
concept is amazing and the story is gorgeous, but I wish you could have found a way to visually show or hint towards the context without using exposition
