This was a deleted scene from Ghosts of the Past Episode 4.
This is a very simple scene that is almost the exact copy of ‘Late for the Sky’ Taxi Driver scene. It was very important for me to make this scene, because the entire apartment of Travis Bickle inspired me to create this apartment in TF2. In the first video where you see this apartment I even put a chair in front of TV, as a set up for this scene, but I could never pull it off before.
Ultimately I decided to remove this scene from GoP: Ep4. There were 3 reasons for that.
First reason is because it drags on for too long without adding much substance to the video.
Second reason was that is that I wasn’t sure if I could pull off a good looking TV effect.
And my third reason was the fact that I wasn’t sure what to put on TV.
So I left this scene unfinished until I released GoP: Ep4 and then came back to it and finalized all the details and effects. For TV I decided to utilize a replay editor from TF2.
And I’m glad that I did, because I came up with this TFC – Team Fortress Channel, which is a parody of BBC. A channel that broadcasts contracts of other teams and their battles. A small detail, but I think it’s pretty cool and adds a little more depth to my version of TF2 universe.
Fun little trivia – a Demoman on TV in white Max's Severed head and earbuds is me.
