Just wanted a fun little side project to work on before getting into anything big again. This would have been a million times more detailed, but Source Filmmaker is very limited, and I was at 2950 mem usage. For those who don't know, getting to 3k is very dangerous and can risk corrupting your project, so I had to leave it as is. Still came out alright, but not nearly as detailed as I had set out for. Took 24 hours to render out
Overwatch - Man Behind the Mask (SFM)Ardy [SFM]2017-04-03 | But that's not who I am.
He would risk his life for a man who hates him.

Another huge thanks to SamYungOfficial for uploading the instrumental version of the trailer song! youtube.com/watch?v=yTgqPCIkYPQ
To be completely clear, this is a fan made parody of the Uncharted 4 trailer "Man Behind the Treasure".Pokemon - Buttercup DancingArdy [SFM]2020-02-27 | This is what happens when I get very bored. I animate Pokemon dancing. Don't worry I have real stuff in the works too, coming soon Valve Time
Original by Jack Stauber.Pichu and TranquilityArdy [SFM]2019-08-03 | People really wanted a Pichu one for some reason, so here ya go
Also Furret but if I do that It'll probably be the last one, because I don't want to do 800 of theseNook, whats for din din?Ardy [SFM]2019-08-02 | big thanks to Chan for starting the animal crossing stuff, his are funnier twitter.com/chanbanhiDancin Pikachu BluescreenArdy [SFM]2019-07-28 | A lot of people were requesting it, so here you go! Do as you please.
Bluescreen - youtube.com/watch?v=QLYCRRseRIgOverwatch FLCLArdy [SFM]2019-05-15 | HUGE THANKS to Remotegirl for letting me use her cover of Ride on Shooting Star, since Youtube wouldn't allow me to upload with the original song. I think this version fits Dva way more anyways so it actually works out perfectly, go look at her twitter n' stuff she rocks Remotegirl - twitter.com/DecoraChii
I have no idea what possessed me to make this, but I'm really glad I did. Was a lot of fun, and while some of the live action stuff is far from perfect, I'm happy with how it turned out. Fooly Cooly is amazing, and after I listened to the song again for the first time in years I got this idea and then went through hell for the last 8 or so months trying to complete it. Yes the quality is intended, going for that old TV look. Good Stuff!
It's been a while though, sorry about that. I've been busy with animation classes learning and all that good stuff, but I'm hoping to work on fun little projects a bit more often.
But I'm not dead, and things are going great, looking forward to making more stuff soon!
Twitter - twitter.com/ArodoraaLPThe Lonely Giant (Dark Souls SFM)Ardy [SFM]2018-12-19 | It's been a while. I've been working hard lately, mostly learning animation and other stuff. I just got around to finishing some things, and I have a few other projects in the works right now so look out for those, should be good! 2019 will be a great year for projects.
I've been wanting to make some sad stuff for a long time, but hadn't had any ideas on what exactly I should do. I'm happy with this one. If you don't know much about Dark Souls, this animation probably won't make much sense though, sorry about that.bugging asheArdy [SFM]2018-11-26 | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also does anyone know the original video? I saw it years ago and haven't been able to find it since.Baby Reaper Dance (SFM)Ardy [SFM]2018-02-01 | Hope you guys enjoy, based off the end credits for Guardians of the Galaxy. Lot of people got baby Groot vibes from my last animation, so I figured this would be fitting.Overwatch Animated Short | Intimidation (SFM)Ardy [SFM]2018-01-28 | Someone ported over the Reaper puppet from the Sombra emote, so I made this in 14-ish hours. Sorry it's so short, but I hope you enjoy!
Outro music - youtube.com/watch?v=HOPa7Lq0cz8Source Filmmaker | Scenebuild/Lighting Run-DownArdy [SFM]2018-01-21 | Tons of people have been asking me for a long time how I build my scenes and how I do lighting. I feel like I'm finally at a place where I'm decent enough to share. This is the first of hopefully many videos where I show you guys how I do things.Abandoned Projects of 2017Ardy [SFM]2017-12-09 | I have other projects that are being worked on, so it's not like everything is just stopping. But I likes how these looked that I wanted to at least show them.
Really unfortunate that all of these aren't going to happen, especially the last one. But I have other things in the work that are better and more recent. These are mostly a year or more old, and I have no intention of completing them.
The TF2 ones, I wasn't exactly sure where to take them. I liked the openings, but wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to have happen, went through many ideas but none of them excited me enough. Most people would have enjoyed it, but it wasn't living up to my expectations.
As for the Dark Souls animations, the reason these aren't going to happen is because I don't feel like I'm a good enough animator to do them proper justice. The ideas I had involved a lot of movement that I'm not sure I'm capable of yet.
The overwatch ones, on the other hand... Unfortunately felt like they just weren't canon enough. I enjoy doing little goofy silly animations, but when it comes to the bigger projects, the more serious ones... If they're too far out of character, I completely lose interest. And when the Junkertown animation was uploaded, I was about half way done with mine, but then we found out a lot more about the characters and mine was outdated and as I said, I don't want to do animations that aren't accurate depictions of the characters in them. So unfortunately, with a heavy heart, "Junkers" isn't happening. Maybe I'll do a new one sometime, a better one.Source Filmmaker - Cinematic Tests Episode 3Ardy [SFM]2017-10-11 | For those who may not understand, I do these videos for practice. It could be practice for anything, lighting, animation, camera work, etc. Some are even shots from abandoned projects.
Hope you enjoy, spent 3 months on this. More legitimate animations coming soon!Overwatch Animated Short | Trapped (SFM)Ardy [SFM]2017-07-04 | I know that apparently all of this is inaccurate now, but I think it was broken before and I thought it was funny and I was already half way through it before I found out it was fixed so I wasn't about to just say screw it.
HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS LIL' SHORT

Special thanks to Maria for helping me get sound effects
Another little quick animation, because someone said "no one likes genji" and that no one should make animations about him, so here we are. Sorry if it's kinda "eh" but again, just a quick little thing inbetween my bigger projects.
Music is "Sleeping Powder" by GorillazOverwatch Animated Short | Roadhogs Pocket (SFM)Ardy [SFM]2017-06-11 | Animating comics is a lot of fun. Just short little videos for practice in all areas, as well as enjoyment for all!
**I'm currently working on another big project featuring piggy n' trashboy, so don't worry. Small projects like this will probably come out between then, but I got big things in the works as well.
Ending credits theme by Alex - youtube.com/watch?v=HOPa7Lq0cz8&feature=youtu.beOverwatch Animated Short | Inner Peace (SFM)Ardy [SFM]2017-06-09 | Thank you all for 1 million views! Means a lot! New big animation like this one is in the works.
This is, of course, fan made. Spent a lot of time on this, and i'm very happy with how it came out. I truly hope you guys enjoy!
If you enjoyed, don't forget to subscribe! There will be more animations to follow.
And of course, my bud Speeder for being such a wonderful person and porting over Nepal assets. Wouldn't have been nearly as good without him.
Stay tuned for more!Source Filmmaker - Cinematic Tests - Episode 2Ardy [SFM]2017-04-10 | More tests. Doing these have helped me improve in so many ways, some are simple lighting tests, some animation, some framing. I love doing these because it lets me work with amazing models I want to use, and I don't have to commit to a huge project.
I don't actually remember the music, sorry. I spent 20 bucks on it though.
Took 2 months and a week to make, I created as ideas came to me, I didn't want to force any of it.Routine - Overwatch Animated Short (SFM)Ardy [SFM]2017-03-29 | A look at a normal day for Bastion as he spent his time in the forest.
Can we get to 10,000 subs with this video, that'd be pretty wonderful!
A huge thanks to Speeder for porting over a bunch of Eichenwalde props, made scenebuilding much better.
Another huge thanks to Shelbi for the basic idea, always wanted to do something with Bastion but I wasn't quite sure what I wanted.Source Filmmaker - Cinematic TestsArdy [SFM]2017-01-02 | Just wanted to test out lighting and camera angles and whatnot. Hope you guys like it, spent a lot of time on this!
Fun to do tests like this, great way to improve certain areas without having to commit to a huge continuous project.Overwatch - Toto (Overwatch SFM)Ardy [SFM]2016-12-29 | Felt like making a silly little recreation from Scrubs, which is a terrific show. I have a way bigger animation in the works right now, so don't worry.
The song is Toto- Africa
Huge thanks to Gianni for the Soldier/Reaper voice acting, he's extremely talented and you should definitely go check him out!
I've never had to do arcade lighting before, it was actually quite the challenge I hope I did it justice!
Regardless hope you all enjoy this animation, surprisingly I only spent 2 days on it!Abstract [SFM]Ardy [SFM]2016-06-03 | Life is pretty abstractSmissmass Story: PrologueArdy [SFM]2013-12-11 | Unofruntately, I don't think i'll be able to make the continuation of last years Smissmass story right away. I don't want to bother Muse for the voices right now, and I haven't even written a script or anything, so it'll be a bit late.Rain (Saxxy Awards 2013)Ardy [SFM]2013-11-18 | The Medic doesn't like the rain.
