Long before Source Film Maker allowed anyone to have a crack at animation James Benson was painstakingly making Heavy, Pyro, Scout, Sniper and all the other classes wiggle to the beat. We talked to thejazzman9475 (as he’s known on youtube) about how he achieved this masterful feat. It may surprise you to find out that he’d only been animating for a few months before starting on Dance Fortress 2, teaching himself from scratch. At the time of the interview James was working for Lionhead Studios during the daytime and immersing himself in DF2 at night.
