The Meet the Team videos are a series of computer-animated shorts starring the various [[classes]] of ''Team Fortress 2''.  
  
Klippene har deres oprindelse i audition scripts til [[voice actors]] som spillede  [[Heavy]], [[Sniper]], og resten af figurerne i spillet. Den første video i serien udgivet i Maj 2007, ''Meet the Heavy'', er næsten ord for ord, hvad Valve bruges til at kaste skuespiller Gary Schwartz. Videoen blev foretaget på hælene af en ''Portal'' video som bruges til at fremme den personlighed for det spil. Efter de første kort blev udgivet, seerne roste både kvaliteten af animationen og humor af scriptet, linkede det til produktioner af professionelle Animation Studios, såsom{{w|Pixar}}. På grund af denne meget positive modtagelse, annoncerede Valve planer om at frigive en Meet the Team video for hver enkelt klasse i spillet, med mulighed for side-funktioner til poster og [[non-player characters]] såsom ''Meet the Sandvich''. Kun ''Meet the Pyro'' er ikke udgivet endnu. Udvikler Robin Walker har oplyst, at kort-film "hænger sammen med den strategi, vi har med TF2 for løbende at opdatere tjenesten ... Det giver meget mere mening. Hvad videoerne gøre er at give muligheder for folk, der ikke engang har Team Fortress 2 endnu at få nogle underholdning fra spillet. Og det kan gøre dem til TF2 spillere og kunder."<ref name="kotaku-interview">"[http://kotaku.com/5273555/valve-dreams-of-team-fortress-2-movie-divulges-meet-the-team-origins Valve Dreams Of Team Fortress 2 Movie, Divulges ‘Meet The Team’ Origins]" af Stephen Totilo, Kotaku, Maj 31, 2009.

The clips have their origins in audition scripts for the [[voice actors]] who played the likes of the [[Heavy]], the [[Sniper]], and the rest of the characters in the game. The first video in the series released in May 2007, ''Meet the Heavy'', is almost word-for-word what Valve used to cast actor Gary Schwartz. The video was made on the heels of a ''Portal'' video used to promote the personality of that game. After the first short was released, viewers praised both the quality of the animation and the humour of the script, likening it to productions by professional animation studios such as {{w|Pixar}}. Due to this highly positive reception, Valve announced plans to release a Meet the Team video for each individual class in the game, with possible side-features for items and [[non-player characters]] such as ''Meet the Sandvich''. Only ''Meet the Pyro'' has yet to be released. Developer Robin Walker has stated that the shorts "tie in to the strategy we have with TF2 of continually updating the service... it makes a lot more sense. What the videos do is give ways for people who don't even have Team Fortress 2 yet to get some entertainment from the game. And that may turn them into TF2 players and customers."<ref name="kotaku-interview">"[http://kotaku.com/5273555/valve-dreams-of-team-fortress-2-movie-divulges-meet-the-team-origins Valve Dreams Of Team Fortress 2 Movie, Divulges ‘Meet The Team’ Origins]" by Stephen Totilo, Kotaku, May 31, 2009.

Serien formåede at påvirke spillet sig ud over blot at være kampagner for fans. Spillet skriver Eric Wolpaw sagde at skabe serien "hjalp alle på holdet får en lille smule mere i harmoni med, hvem den pågældende karakter var, så vi bare holdt banke dem ud, og de ​​holdt på at blive populær". Et eksempel på serien 'indflydelse på udformningen af spillet var Sandvich. Ifølge Walker, "punktet kom næsten direkte ud af filmen ... Vi følte, at filmen var berettiget, og skabt en måde for os at have en 'Sandvich' i spillet og har at indsatsen [af at spise det] foretage nogen form af mening i vores spil verden ". Et andet element, der skal indføres efter sin optræden i serien var [[Jarate]], der blev tilføjet efter sin debut i Meet the Sniper.

The series managed to influence the game itself in addition to simply being promotions for fans. Game write Eric Wolpaw said creating the series "helped everyone on the team get a little bit more in tune with who that particular character was, so we just kept knocking them out and they kept on being popular". An example of the series' influence on the design of the game was the Sandvich. According to Walker, the item "came almost directly out of the movie... We felt the movie had justified and created a way for us to have a 'Sandvich' in the game and have that action [of eating it] make any kind of sense in our game world". Another item to be introduced after its appearance in the series was [[Jarate]] which was added after its debut in Meet the Sniper.  
  
Serien bistod også i udviklingen af ​​spillet teknologi. Valve bruges''Meet the Heavy'' til at teste ansigtsanimations systemet studiet var at udvikle til ''Team Fortress 2''. Ifølge Walker, det nye system har "lov til vores tegn til at have en langt større vifte af udtryk, end vi var i stand til at gøre i Half-Life ... Vi ønskede en prøvesag.". Den resulterende teknologi produceret i oprettelsen af ​​Meet the Team serien vises nu i spillet, når der spilles på højeste grafiske indstillinger. Walker mindede om, at holdets glæde ved "udtrykket om den tunge til sidst, når han skyder og skriger" var ikke falske, og var ikke bare "denne ting, at det fedeste i [filmen] var noget, der ville ske i spillet."<ref name="kotaku-interview" />
+
The series also assisted in the development of game technology. Valve used ''Meet the Heavy'' to test the facial animation system the studio was developing for ''Team Fortress 2''. According to Walker, the new system "allowed our characters to have a much greater range of expressions than we were able to do in Half-Life... We wanted a test case for that". The resulting technology produced in the creation of the Meet the Team series now appears in the game when played on the highest graphical settings. Walker recalled that team's pleasure about "the expression on the Heavy at the end when he's shooting and screaming" was not fake, and was not just "this thing that the coolest bit in [the movie] was something that would happen in the game."<ref name="kotaku-interview" />

Meet the Team

TF2 started with nine mercenaries, each with his own distinct personality. Because they live inside a frantic multiplayer shooter, though, the only facets of those personalities people got to see were the screaming, shooting, and being-on-fire parts. Enter the Meet the Team shorts, showcasing the mercs in their off-hours—arguing with their parents, barking orders at their head collections, or just strumming a guitar by the campfire. Also we made a movie about a sandwich.

Source Filmmaker

Main article: Source Filmmaker

Source Filmmaker is a video creation tool that manipulates the Source Engine to animate and record various scenes in game environments. The tool has been used by Valve to create the Meet the Team series in Team Fortress 2 and the introductory videos for both Template:W and Template:W. Source Filmmaker is capable of producing a wide range of cinematographic effects and techniques, such as motion blur and depth of field, and enables the use of significantly-higher quality textures for in-game models as depicted in the Meet the Team series.

The tool was left in the game code and is accessible through Team Fortress 2 Beta, however, Valve has stated its intention to release a stable version of the tool publicly in a later release. Valve founder and managing director Template:W said in an interview that Source Filmmaker is "in the pipeline for a public release".[2]
