Maybe they could've done this thing where Valve had this section where there were videos that show the game buyer about each protagonist's pasts.

Damn Hrorek. You guys really pulled off an absoloutly amazing animation there. Everything just runs smoothly and perfectly. The only downsides i personaly have is the scene when the Infected break into the room, it seems very quick to me. But hey! Just personal opinion. Nice work, would love to see this win this years!. Good evening.

This should be an actual trailer about Nick's life, actually, there should be a trailer about the survivors lifes.

Wow, this is amazing, really hope you win! Perhaps you're considering making such backstories for all the L4D characters?

Nick is my favorite character and this portrays him in such a cool way so thank you very much I wouldn’t want anybody else making this for nick

Had to pause for a second. Even his death would be a gamble. That's some deep shit poetically and believable as he's a gambler. Beautifully done.

Wonderful use of sound, loved when you started hinting that it would be the beginning of L4D by chaning the pacing of the knocks. Or maybe I just had to read the description.

I wish L4D2 got a comic like L4D’s The Sacrifice to really flesh out and show the survivors backstories.

I'm really butthurt that this didn't win.

+Roonifer you and me both, man

The symbolism of the roulette wheel and Russian roulette with the match cut was beautiful.

Once a lone Gambler now a badass survivor with his new badass family.

Very interesting take on nick’s character even if it’s really dark and kind of looks goofy during the gambling scene but SFM has its limitations. Cinematography is very well done and despite being SFM the lighting/“graphics” look very good in most areas. I’ve always liked playing as nick so seeing a proper backstory is really cool.

If Valve ever decides to make L4D TV series including the characters from L4D2, well.....They better start with this scene!

So this was Nicks beginning. Well done

+Issa Beganovic This one was a ton of work. Not only from myself but all the others involved that helped flesh out the story and previs. Nick's story was unique because it could be told without using much dialogue from the game. I think it may be harder to do that with the other survivors while attempting to delivery a well thought out story. However, if I run into $1,000,000 it's possible that I might consider taking on such a laborious task. =P

"I have NOT made it this far just to die now" - Nick 2009

I wish they added a revolver so when nick picked it up he says " this gun gives me bad memories..."

What if each character had there own cinematic at the starting screen and this was Nick’s

I dont care what's Valve's story behind Nick. This is CANON for me

Wow, Nick had the most painful past.

Man this was amazing! Nice work on the backstory, the setting, the drama, and all others makes this a solid contender!

Awesome man!! Congrats for your nomination! The cinematography is real good and this kind of backstory honestly does fit Nick's character. 😎👍

You've got my vote.

I love the blend of tf2, l4d2/1, and garrys mod assets combining into each other with out breaking the immersion and some how blending and fitting with each other and the over all great animation.

Thank you for making this Nick was my favourite survivor in L4D2 :D

Awesome stuff! I absolutely adore the sound design! It makes it so visceral!

Animations like these makes me want to play the game it was about, thanks for making me want to play L4D2 again :D

And this is the story behind my favorite Left 4 Dead 2 character.

Seriously, this should've won the extended category! The production quality is far superior :O

This is really amazing! I’m kinda sad that I found it only by now. But WOW, the story, the animation, the action. Everything is perfect here!

Nick background dlc confirmed.

Now this is machinima. Deserves way more views!

Probably my favorite SFM style video ever. Great job!

i cant believe that i didnt see this the last year... that was amazing, GREAT JOB!

Amazing work! The animations were really well done.

Please do more! I've always wanted to see the l4d2 survivors following the formula of the Sacrifice comic and this does it perfectly for nick

Fantastic! Totally wicked! Great lighting and colours and camera work.

This is actually well animated. Great job to the creators!

Amazing work, loved it! I could tell you put some great effort and work into this!

I already gushed over this on Steam, but holy shit. This was goddamn amazing. SO GOOD. I'm definitely going to go vote for it on Steam, I really hope you win!!

Man, this deserves more liked bro... this is beyond legendary

I love this, it's so fun to watch

WOAH.... One of the best ones.... underrated as hell

That crying that dress this brings back some bad memorys

This is THE best l4d2 source video I've ever seen! kudos!

i love it, it's just perfect.

Nicks paradise... a world were he had no coincidences and no rules

Great work! I would love to see more videos telling the backstory of other characters in LFD and other valve games!

So many really good Saxxy entries like this are getting so overlooked... Nonetheless, very well done!

Nick: Is legit about to shoot himself in the head A freaking zombie apocalypse: THE HELL YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?

Fantastic prequel! I love it!

beautiful

This Story really happens, thanks for animating this

The Mechanic??? Ellis story....with Keith

“Yo gambling man maybe you should stop gambling on money and gamble your life with one last shot or maybe that will be your last Gamble” that should be a line for l4d2

the quality is just getting better at the saxxies

This is amazing.

The day before the infection...

This was amazing

Well done, gentlemen. Very nice.

SO cool! And nice audio work, too.

Im actually tearing up bro

You need to make one FOR THE REST OF THE CHARACTERS PLEASE

And then nick stumbles upon three people who will help him fight a horde of zombies, get some gas for a generator just to let the bridge go down and keep a stock car, getting to go in a helicopter in whispering oaks only to discover the pilot becoming infected, having his suit dirty because of 2 nasty sewers and a one big swamp, and run his way through he bridge just to finally go to a helicopter to safety.

This is pretty frigging amazing.

How did this not win the extended this is pure quality.

Amazing backstory, and amazing SFM!

call 911 i hurt his feelings

OMG is amazing i need more of this

Well made sfm animation, everything was well detailed

This was really good for it's time.

I like nick he's my favorite and accept it

the debt was wiped clean and nicks last bit of luck helped him survice zero hour of the outbreak

Looks great

This is so good, oh my god

I freaking love this

Oh shit this was awesome

If Nick ever needs a backstory then look no further than this video! its amazing!

This should have a million of views damn it

I seen the video of his backstory and he was from a Mob.

He used to play with money. Now he's about to play with his life. One chance, one try, one choice.

To think that if the zombie outside the room wouldn't have moaned at that very second, we wouldn't see Nick in L4D2, damn things can get deep, good Animation btw :P

*AMAZING!!!!* ❤

takes me back...

nick went from a lucky gambler to a broke man

Damm! This is awesome!
