@@TheEdwardWarrior Yeah, probably. With respect, if it wasn't for the fact that on upload day, I wasn't...super tired from spending nine hours on polish...and also going to work that same day...proooobably could've gotten that done the day of. At the time, I just wanted to rest. And then work happened, life happened...I suppose that's just the way things shook out.
This was very good to watch. And honestly seeing myself even as just a mention put the biggest grin on my face for the last few hours. All the creators big/small all were respectfully mentioned and described even a little. Can't wait to see more man!
I wanna thank you personally for this video. It’s not often that the smaller creators in the community get the recognition they deserve for their brilliant work. Also, I was not expecting an honourable mention in this video, and I cannot be more honoured. Thanks man! :)
The ending almost made me cry seeing how this fandom gets better and better everyday, I really think I should find what I'm really capable of, thanks to your message... Thank you
Great video! I love that all these other Thomas TH-camrs get what they deserve and get an award for their amazing work. Thank you for creating such good content and helping other Thomas TH-cam creators get more recognition. ❤️👍
I think if your going to do this again. You can make votes for the nominations for the fandom, as well your own opinion. Because this definitely feels like only the latter.
So, about that. I actually DID originally intend to do a community poll...but as you might expect, The Unlucky Tug, TrainBoy, ect. ended up being nominated for every category, so I had to change my plans. Hence, why I limited each creator to one award. Is it possible that I could've made the vote work? Sure. But at the time, I thought I could only to one of the other. I hope you understand.
@@PlayDontPause you could just do a community poll with a 1 to 5 score for each nomination in each category, add them up and see who wins each section.
As soon as I had seen this video, I knew I had to watch it. I've been watching it for a bit now. Gotta say I'm most pleased with it. I've heard and learned of so many different creators that I never even knew tons of content I had forgotten about. I love this community very much so. I look forward to next years steamy awards .
This is one of the most interesting things I've ever seen. I do remember filling out an entry for this for other users but I didn't think think I could have almost been nominated for a steamy award. And the fact that I was put in the same Runnings with Thomas1Edward2Henry3 and EnterprisingEngine93 absolutely made my jaw drop when I saw myself 1:21:34. While it is a shame that I didn't win, Matt definitely deserved that award more than I did and so I applaud him for that. And yeah I may not be as known as I've only been around for 5 years. Pierce it was still an honor to be featured in this. And I hope to make more videos and customs for a long time. Again Stellar video dude and a great way to kick off this year.
I'm glad you had fun with this! I'm sorry you didn't win, though. Perhaps I'll come up with something for next year that doesn't have an award...that was EVERYBODY WINS! WOO!
Aye, nicely done Thomas themed version of the Oscars. Hopefully another video could be make like this at the beginning of everywhere. And thanks for featuring a clip view of my own series for the Best Series awards. But bravo to everyone else who were nominated and won :D
* not sure how i feel about the part where you show videos of mine from when i was eight/ten years old without my permission! * in fact, i believe many of the people featured here feel the same way about their work being entered into this "competition. " * this is extremely offputting as a content creator; we make these videos for fun and claiming that one of us did better than all the others is not exactly a boost to morale. * it's the thomas fandom, we don't WANT an oscars where one person gets an award and everyone else gets a half-compliment. it takes the fun out of what we do. * and, for the record, yes, my sound design isn't perfect, i am acutely aware. * i would have preferred if such critique wasn't given through a rip-off oscars for people to see. * i do not care that i've "lost" here, what i do care about is how this makes us as content creators feel about what we do as a hobby and how this feels very unprofessional. * i am not at comfortable with my work being presented in a competition i never entered without my permission, and i really would have preferred it if videos of me as a young child weren't used here regardless of context. * you said you weren't going to look at twitter and were going to let it "run its course. " * so allow me to bring my complaints to your doorstep! i am not impressed by your complete lack of respect.
Interesting that you removed the fact you (like everyone on that site) was upset that Victor one a award, probably because it'll be used against your argument for not caring you didn't win. . Also your acting like he's shitting on the other creators, half compliments are still compliments at the end of the day. You taking it poorly is only really on you, because everyone else seems ok from it except for you. It isn't like he's asking his creators to harass others (unlike you and your little Victor comments.) . You hiding behind the "it isn't good too compare artist" (which I do agree with, but I do let one video bug me THIS much.) Is a common argument with stuff like these, even though it's clear that your saying all of this too excuse the fact your anger that someone you don't like (which is perfectly find mind you.) Won where you didn't. . I'm not saying this as a fan of anyone. I just can tell when someone's talking about one thing, and that they truly mean another. . I wouldn't be surprised if you'd make a Twitter comment about me. It's a coping thing I get it.
* well, i can't exactly endorse the bigot that tanzig has consistently been! * i think it's quite deserved, wasn't planning on mentioning it because i want this to be about the creator of this video and what's he done with my content and many others.
@@leatherbootlace coping for what? I'm not a fan of Victor or the creator, I know the guy's offense. I knew this type of reactions would happen when his name was brought up. I'm pointing out true feelings. EDIT: but I do agree taking older videos is shitty. As someone with gender issues myself.
@@leatherbootlace I, personally don’t think anyone is coping. I just think it got shocked, then angry after seeing some of their content from their younger selves be disblayed to the fandom instead of something more recent. And also the content was displayed without consent
I feel like people have either forgotten or never watched Ramahfool back in the late 2000s and early 2010s, he was my favorite Thomas youtuber when I was a little kid, I feel like he should've been recommended in the "Legacy Honorable Mentions" category. Either way, I just wanted to say this was an amazing video, and I enjoyed all 90 minutes of it. I really hope there's one for 2023 !!
Holy Titan, what a video. Congratulations to everyone who was nominated an award, or even got close to have their videos disected for what it is that made them great. I I have to admit, seeing DemonOfNowhere and my boy Sheffield have their content use in the background (with the former almost winning an award no less) made me happy beyond belief (I'm surprised I haven't spontaneously combusted LOL) All in all, amazing video, and can't wait to see what comes next, and if there is a Steamies award vid for 2023. Until we meet again!
I'm not sure I'll do a Steamy Awards for 2023...but there might be something else...we'll have to wait and see! Anyways, thank you for all the kind words! I'm really glad you liked it. Six months well spent in my mind!
Wow that was a trip! Nothing but absolute nostalgia, I saw So many recognisable faces while also being introduced some new ones, I’ve been in this fandom for 15 years and I’m still discovering pure artistry to this day, I hope we can see something like this again next year, happy New Year everybody! Here’s to many more years of Thomas the Tank Engine!
I'm super glad you liked it! The awards are what they are, but the point of this competition was to show off as MANY creators as possible. I hope in that respect, I did a good job.
@@PlayDontPause oh absolutely, though then again maybe this was a mistake because now my watchlist is completely backed up, now I’ll never finish Shamless!!
@@paisleepunk His series relies on cheap shock value, dull dialogue, and the same four camera angles used infinitely. It had a good start, but Stories of War was a mistake, and the whole series just went downhill from there. I was also particularly frustrated with PDP praising Lamp so much, when it’s one of Victor’s most tasteless episodes. The way that he handles the trauma is… iffy, at best.
I understand the whole point for this 'award show', it was a sweet idea but this is chaos. You didn't ask any permission for any of the videos in this, not to mention bluntly comparing people's content. if you ever decide to do this again, I'd ask permission and approach this with a gentler mindset with ackwowledgment that an indiviual being has made every single of these 'submissions'. (and do your research) I genuniely don't have a clue why Victor Tanzig won best series. like there are other creators that deserve this award than Victor. cough cough *tardisrescue* cough cough. how are you going to critisce Dan for 'fancy' angles when you're dickriding Victor for using god awful story telling and disgusting cinematography. a lot of personal bias comes into this as well not everything was used in the Railway Series and not everything needs to be used for it be good. It leaves more imagation/interpation to the viewer and it works well. If you wanted to ever know more, it was there if you did. it doesn't make the book "the less is more argueement" doesn't really work here. it's just ugly to look at and not effective to his story telling. a 2012 Jeremy Crispo video looks better (and I wish I was joking). of course you don't have to make everything look it's abosutle best but there's a certain level of proffesnialism to it. please do better
This comment describes this perfectly imo. His whole Victor Tanzig thing reminds me of the whole theory of how the Academy Awards prefer Disney and or Pixar movies over everything else in the Best Animated Feature category
this was a good idea on paper but really rough in execution. Its nice seeing people happy for appearing or winning but I understand the others who are mad they were included without being informed. I hope the criticisms given are listened to the idea of going over and talking about the best videos/creators is great but the award show style format was not the best way to do it. Maybe a retrospective or top 10 would be better then treating it as the Oscars.
As much as I really like this concept, a lot. I am a bit mixed about the idea of only one person choosing when these sorts of awards is voted for. But TBF, it is a healthy way to shine light on smaller creators since there is a 95% chance that bigger creators would just dominate the entire event. IDK, maybe split it next time between big creators division and smal creators division.
@@PlayDontPause Fair, and If I could add two more thing; to make it easier for yourself next, if there is ever going to be a next time, (1) appoint the nominees and have people vote so it isn’t so biased (2) don’t bother reviewing each nominee, just call the out, show a bit of clips of their work and announce the winner. It seems like many people are just upset that their works were judged in a comperative manner, which can be demoralizing I guess. But We’ll done either way
@@PlayDontPause Okay, my guy, usually I respect your content. But saying that you tried to be as fair as you could is COMPLETE bullshit. You went into this with preconceived biases and clearly weren't going to budge on your opinions. Really, if you wanted to highlight the things you liked, you didn't have to insult and nitpick other people for 90 minutes. also, the fact that you praise Tanzig's cinematography while dissing TardisRescue for using so-called "fancy angles" shows a complete lack of awareness of the subject matter. TardisRescue is using perfectly normal and varied shot composition, while Victor just uses the same three or four angles over and over again. There's nothing good about Tanzig's cinematography. It's either repetitive, messy, or both. Finally, nitpicking the Thomas Cynic like that pissed me off for two major reasons. 1. Your bias was massive, and the entire analysis of Thomas' Moral Compass (which isn't even CLOSE to his best video) felt like a backhanded compliment. 2. That dude was my best friend in the fandom for years before he left, you think I'm going to let that shit slide? So, yeah. Claiming that you tried to be fair is a load of bullshit, and you know it. Just apologize, take the video down, and try to start fresh.
PDP, this was INCREDIBLE. I've watched many of the creators shown, but now there's even more I need to see. You've shown us how thousands of people around the world work together to make AMAZING projects, and they all came together by the power of a blue choo choo with a face, and all of his friends. Congratulations to all the award winners. And hopefully there will be another Steamy Awards next year.
This video was incredible. Not afraid to be critical. And bringing up very good points. Soon i hope to make thomas content just like the people you mentioned here and yourself. I really really can’t wait for next years one (guessing this will be a yearly tradition)
I'm frankly irritated and disgusted about the lack of appreciation for the art that many of the people you included in this video, especially without their consent. Many of my friends' art, whether it was drawn art, composed music, or TH-cam films, is all art, but the way you go about here feels like you're treating them like products or toys to use on your own whim. Every person you listed here created some kind of art, which they more often than not spent hours of hard work, physically and mentally, to create. Not getting their full consent to use here is something artists struggle enough with as is in the real professional world with all the eNeFfTee and A-Eye theft, and not even getting it for something like this is inexcusable and scummy. You wanted to make this video to try and bring fans together to celebrate, I get that, but the methods you went about doing so undermine just that. I don't think trying to make an awards show where you frequently and bluntly compare one artist's work to another's is bringing them all together. It does anything BUT uplift them. I get there's a lot of creators to ask for full consent, too, but patience IS a virtue, and in the real world you need it to get anything done right. If they say they don't want to be in something, respect their art and wishes and don't use their work. Do NOT just throw them in anyways and then wonder toy yourself why they're not happy and why they question you why they weren't consulted first. You said you spent a lot of time making this video. I don't think you'd be pleased if someone took your own video just because and then claimed 'it's for review purposes' for their own gain. The fans who made all these things are not big corporate companies. They are independent artists who take so much time, money and energy out of their own lives to make what they make.
You're absolutely right. I'm currently working on making things right to the best of my ability to fix this, including removing the artist section (to the best of my ability with the buttered fish that is the youtube editor), save for the winner.
@@PlayDontPause I know this isn't my comment, but I'm glad you're taking steps to smooth over any problems. I'm positive you didn't MEAN for any of this to come off as offensive, and I'm glad you're acknowledging people's feelings instead of just calling them butthurt. I really hope you take another crack at this next year.
Everybody gangster till Beta critiques you with the wall theme But seriously, you brought up some good points regarding my video & I'm just glad to be apart of it in the first place. Love ya, lad 👍 Need to tone down my voiceovers in future lol
@@PlayDontPause it’s all good, mate. You were fair & it was fun hearing video insight from someone with my content (especially considering you’ve worked with video for around 7 years).
I just want to say awesome job to Play, Don't Pause - Writer's Pen. I can see a lot of effort was put into this video. Congratulations to all the winners, especially to my brother Percy And The Beast Productions. Very proud of him! 👍
I just want to say thank you to Play, Don't Pause - Writer's Pen, for bring the Thomas fandom together and for recognizing the amazing work this community has done because without people like all of you my channel would not exist, also thanks for this awesome award 🏆I am very grateful, thanks again Play, Don't Pause - Writer's Pen!! :)
This was just beautiful, the awards, the creators being honored, and the whole description of what the Thomas Fandom has become and accomplished over the years. I may not have many people in my personal life who appreciate this like I do, but I’m glad to have found a place online where I can continuously watch the adventures of a silly little blue tank engine, with six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler, and of course a short stumpy dome. 🙂
Okay I'm going to try and be civil with this Your main flaw here is that you went too hard, and you've contradicted yourself multiple times You said you couldn't get permission and inform everybody in the video, and yet you were able to inform most if not all of the winners that they won you could have at least gotten permission from everyone else whilst you were at it Some people didn't want to be in this video and that's fair especially considering you didn't even talk about them and just use their clips for bad examples or good examples It's clear that you were biased in this as well, I get that unlucky tug was winning everything but then you probably should have just taken him out of the polls, tanzig shouldn't have won and that seems to be something a majority of the fanbase agrees on, especially considering what you stated about it versus The Railway Series, be real with me here if this wasn't a trainz series would you have picked it? Would this series still hold up if it was in Wooden Railway? The majority of the winners were trainz users or makes model trains, you kind of ditched to everyone else I believe you can improve, everyone can this. This video was a misstep and now everybody's shown how they don't like being included in videos without being told especially in something like this or you're trying to say what is the best of ___ thing. I get that in the beginning you did state that this was going to be biased but it shouldn't be biased to this degree when you're trying to be objective
This was an train ride for this video, seeing creators that i watch from time to time, and also seeing new content creators i never heard of before, really makes being a Thomas fan, much much greater then before. Keep up the hard work everyone!
1:27:12 that is a straight up lie making a video essay about a character/story/anything in thomas isn't taking inspiration from a big TH-camr. Literally that's like if I said your channel was "taking inspiration" from mine because we both make videos. Also, alot of people appeared who requested not to be. Which is funny because you didn't say anything about them yet.
We should probably change this video’s name from the steamy awards to “what happened” because I have no idea what the hell even happened here! There’s stuff about twitter going nuts about this (why am I not surprised), there’s stuff about Victor Tanzig (which I had no idea about) and stuff about stolen content? I don’t know what to believe anymore! I’m out of the fandom for a while and shit already has hit the fan! Just what is going on here!?
Yeah all this drama makes me want to leave this godforsaken fandom. It's like they can't go 5 second without something else stupid happening. Like can't people learn to just be civil? Kind of ironic that the Thomas community (About a show that has morals about teaching people not to be assholes to one another.) of all places turns out to be just as toxic and irritable as the Nintendo or Star Wars fandom.
If you want to know wash to know what happened to missoliverandblossom, he’s now called DaWillstanator and he often collaborates with Joey Turner. He still humorous and a great actor. And I coincidentally met him when I booked an Uber to Souplantation.
32:43 You don’t wanna know how exciting this is, I’m a fan of their content and part of cast for an upcoming project! The editing has improved over time :D And ya I get it, Sodor and the S.C.P is kinda a silly concept…especially since I never did my research on S.C.P until after the first episode was released lol Congrats to Percyandthebeastproductions!!!
A bit off topic, but that conversation between Alfred and that passenger at 8:29 got a chuckle out of me. "Ma'am, with all due respect, my colleague would probably kill me if you did that."
Hey their is no end in sight for the Thomas fandom content it will go on forever! I’ve become a new member last year and to say that so much that goes good go gold that’s where I’m going look out for a new Thomas series coming your way in 2025! P.S don’t worry we will all still be here!
The response video after this wildfire is legit the first time I seen that an youtube apology or response that was actually good and honest Good on you man 👍
I love how TrainBoy wins an award in this, and then posts on his twitter that he didn't watch it, then goes on a whole tangent about how everyone who's offended by this has a right to be upset. Seriously though, this is such a mess. The disrespect to so many creators here is just... wow. If you do this again, there needs to be so much more research and ASKING PERMISSION done next time. People are not upset because "oh why didn't you pick this one" it's because you used so much content that was not yours and didn't ask permission. They're also upset because the way you critique content is so harmful. You can't just say something's good and then rudely point out how bad or flawed everything else is. Even some of the biggest creators that are featured in this (EpicLafiteu, Joey Turner, BlueSnowplow, etc) are all upset with you. My advice, don't do this again.
In my honest opinion, I think the idea was great, but it executed poorly, if he had just asked permission from the creators then all my complaints will be gone
I have a lot to say on this, and part of it has to do with the fact that you did NOT receive my permission to use my content in your videos. Firstly, in terms of my content, I am okay with people using my content so long as they have my direct permission. I understand it can be hard to contact me, but all it takes is a Twitter ping and DM to contact me. I'll respond eventually, but I am very busy. I appreciate being considered for best fan series, and I'm not against being judged again next year so long as the feedback isn't too harsh or biased. (Also my visuals are not good, I used Lego duplo for gods sakes) I think the idea of a Thomas Fandom Oscars has the potential to be a lot of fun. The issues that exist, however, cannot be ignored. 1. You did not receive permission from ANY of these users, and in a project like this, their approval is absolutely necessary. 2. Many people in this fandom don't like the idea of having their content compared to other users and competing with other users for awards and things like that. Many people use this platform as an escape, a hobby, or a way of expressing themselves without being judged by others. This video takes away from that. I will say, the editing in this video is phenomenal, and I like the approach, but you failed to receive the support of the content creators you featured and so the video is backfiring and blowing up in your face. I have two alternatives you could pursue in the future. 1. Do this again next year, but ONLY if you receive permission from the content creator. This means permission to use footage/audio and permission to judge, critique, score and rank their videos. 2. Do a 2023 summary video summarizing a lot of the highlights from the fandom and their creativity. Highlight different types of videos (reviews, short stories, series, adaptations, music, editing, artwork, documentaries, etc). Once again, obtain permission from the users FIRST. If you don't get their permission or don't hear from them, don't use their stuff. It's that simple. I also think the way you went about judging these videos was kinda...not it. It's clear you have some personal biases or are not aware of some of the content some of these users post. I think, if you are able to do this next year, you should have a group of judges and a voting option so that other people have a say in what happens. But again, this is only possible with people's permission, so I'm not sure if that's even an option at this point. Again, I like the idea, but the execution (besides the solid editing) was very poor. I know you did not intend harm, but competitions and comparisons aren't really a staple of this fandom unless people want to.
@@aoiasahinashusband I have a huge problem with this video and I hope you have the maturity to understand that. People do not want their content judged like this, it's as simple as that.
@@GTSHProductions seems like a you problem. if you don't like it to be judged then don't put it on the internet. that's how it is, it's meant to be judged. there is a reason likes exist on videos. the reason TH-cam removed dislikes is because of softies like you who can't take criticism.
the meat riding towards a content creator who most likely doesn't even know you exist nor care about you is unreal also drop the arrogant "i'm right everyone else is wrong!11" attitude front, apologise and take the video down
Wow, just wow. This video. Oh my gosh I am just at a loss for words. This video Play don't pause. IS FANTASTIC! The quality, the speech just everything was amazing!all the awards you gave out were well deserved to everyone so congratulations to them and it really, really makes me appreciate this amazing fantom I am apart of! I cannot stress enough on how I hope you do another one next year!
This community of amazing people has really inspired me to do so many things that I never considered before and I’m so glad I stumbled across this fandom that not only got me back into Thomas & Friends but also enhanced my enjoyment of making TH-cam videos and I appreciate every single person who uploaded these amazing Thomas videos from every single year of TH-cam and I’m so glad you made this video and I hope you make more Steamy Awards videos if you get the time!
The whole video was really unneeded. From the lack of research, the disrespect to a lot of the creators, very biased selections that take only YOUR opinions on account, to the not asking for permission to use the other creators content. This is a mess. Dare I even call it hot garbage. Please never do something like this ever again. Also I'm extremely dissapointed that Sodor: The Modern Years wasn't even mentioned in the Best Series catagory. WildNorWester has put his heart and soul into that series over the past 11 years.
Amen to that, this never needed to happen. All PDP needed to do was make a video highlighting his favorite things that the fandom did this year, and all of this never would have happened. He dug his own grave, now he needs to lie in it. I wish I could apologize to the creators personally.
@@PlayDontPause i advise next time ask people if they are comfortable with there clips being use and being criticized, besides that the video wasn't that bad
The Thomas Fandom Is An Incredibly Important Place To Me, Considering My Younger Brother Parker Was A HUGE Fan Up Until He Passed Away In April Of 2020. So Returning To The Fandom, Seeing All The Creative Things Everybody Does, Is Genuinely More Than I Could Ever Ask For. So Thank You So Much For Highlighting Some Of The Best Creators In The Fandom Man.
OH BOY... this video's reception is a trainwreck of good and bad. I keep noticing the comments stating lack of permission - which is very important - and the controversy behind many of the nominees; I may not know all the drama behind a lot of them (and I think it'd be wise of myself to stay out of it) but I think this video became a spark to the gunpowder barrel that was the Thomas fandom. I myself thought that this video was interesting, seeing all of these incredible pieces of work that people from everywhere put their efforts into. It is important to obtain permission for using these clips, that I do agree. However, on the topic of controversy: rather than watching everyone wage war on each other on how messed up a certain content creator is, I prefer to enjoy the content itself. Ay... quite a great shame that a lot of the fandom is bashing you for a couple of crucial mistakes on such a hard-crafted video, but there's always the opportunity to learn from these experiences. I do like your content, and I hope that if you ever hold the Steamy Awards again next year, these lessons to be learned from are taken into consideration.
This really helped me. I am about halfway through the video and wondering why there is such a high amount of dislikes, but your comment helped me to understand the issues. Thanks!
To be honest, I think the whole "drama behind nominees" is the perfect example of separating art from artist. Take the example of Victor Tanzig, who gets cancelled on twitter because he did joke after joke that twitter crybabies didn't like such as the pregnant Rosie little arc, but then, his ACTUAL series, Stories of Sodor (and SCPs of Sodor) definitely deserves to: 1) be nominated and 2) win the awards it got nominated to. To be fair, this was an amazing kind of video and it's a real shame that so many content creators are getting salty at everything in this video, take the example of DemonOfNowhere.
@@Yerba1909 Well, they do have a right to be salty, though it does look pretty toxic. I mean, PDP could potentially be copystriked and already got "canceled" by the fandom due to this video...
@@TheBallWithTheShield I hope that this actually opens the eyes of PDP, to how toxic this fandom actually is. He actually made me aware of some great Thomas content (and creators) through this video and what does he get in return? He gets everyone ganging up on him and him getting ' cancelled ' by, how @MateulizGameplay puts it best, " Twitter crybabies ". Also, I am disgusted by how the fandom has kept ganging up on Victor Tanzig over rumours spread by half wits.
@@thetechnocrat4979 PDP has made a video regarding all of the Steamy Awards drama; I recommend watching it. As for Victor Tanzig, I've heard of allegations of him making Nazi jokes or something along the lines of that. Like I said before, I just stay away from that kind of drama.
A couple of my friend’s works were entered into this video without their knowledge or consent. It is incredibly disrespectful to not only use their work without permission, but to claim that other works are objectively better. In future, please consult the people who’s work you are using. And do not use said work unless given express permission
I love how when you were praising other peoples work in your older WDIB videos, no one had a problem with it. But as soon as you start criticizing their work, NOW it's not right and you need permission.
Personal Bias, NFT prizes, 8:16 “They both *SUCK* for different reasons,” Neither was which were even asked to be included. I’m not even 10 minutes in and I already got what I need. Twitter was right, and you are a monster.
I wouldn't say he's a monster, I don't think any of it was intentionally meant to piss off people or insult them. I just think he got way too carried away and should've thought this through way more.
When seeing this video on my feed I thought oh this will be a good start of the year cuz I really love watching all my favorite Thomas creators and I would love to find new ones I did not expect to see MY EDIT?? (8:01) being used as a talking point of a series I'm so lost for words I can't believe this is even here thank you I don't know how you found it I'm guessing someone submitted it right so thank you I'm just really in shock I didn't expect to see this I haven't got through the video yet I just I'm in shock hopefully the rest of the videos amazing I'll edit this comment when I'm done
3:25 I understand well, and shall watch and enjoy the efforts you made on this video with an open mind and open eyes and ears and to enjoy your choices.
Their are several reasons why For one he basically used stolen footage from other content creators and never asked And second hes trying to make the ttte community sound competitive which isn't true but this video giving us a bad name
Bro. You completely missed the point. He made the video to celebrate the fandom, stop being a party pooper and just celebrate the greatness this fandom is. Also he fully credits all the footage to the creators they belong to. He even spent the time to include them in a comment as well as the video. So i'll say it again: Stop being party poopers and enjoy the fandom for the greatness it is.
@@keldeostudies149 literally every reacter in the Fandom uses "stolen footage" yet you don't see everyone getting struck down Nintendo-style by Mattel. The awards were well with-in fair use.
How is he technically original to that series? He was originally in Sodor The Dark Times by Skarloey123. And even though the livery is different, it still isn't original and I think was created by T1E2H3.
32:27 „VERY rough around the edges“ VERY. Rough would have been fine, but VERY... P.S.: It was *VERY* hard to even successfully animate it on an IPad 😅
Sorry if that came off the wrong way. That's mostly a writing thing on my end, trying to keep things interesting. If it means anything, I wouldn't have brought your project up if I didn't think it was worth watching. Also, you ANIMATED that on an IPAD?! Dang, you've got more patience than I.
@@PlayDontPause in my defense I made the comment before halfway through the video. He's the one who showed me that there was an online fandom. Great series even to this day
@@tre-engines it doesn't matter if it's credited. The use of such small content creators passion projects, especially in a way that pits them against other creators and results in an intense criticism for said projects is still disrespectful. Rather than just arguing that oh 'its technically fair if they're credited' why don't we listen to the creators who's work has been featured, and torn apart by this? Demonofnowhere for example is incredibly disappointed with the way their content was attacked in order to prop up another video. This isn't what the community is about.
@@oscarknight3588 It wouldn’t be very fair though if he just talked about the positives without the negatives. Negative feedback is a chance for people to improve their content and he says nice things about everyone in this video
@@tre-engines There's negative feediback, or constructive criticism as you're describing and then theres this. Regardless of how YOU feel this has gone down shouldn't we listen to the hard working creators who have spilt so much time into their work and how they feel their work has been judged, nitpicking things such as the wrong font, or 'funky camera angles' which are realistically basic, realistic camera angles to film models with. It would be fair if there was an even, or just reasonable amount of positives to balance out the negatives, which is clearly not the case.
@@oscarknight3588 If people have a problem with their work being criticized I can understand why they’d be a little upset, but at the same time, negative feedback is for people to know if they’re doing something wrong and how to improve it. I know they didn’t ask for advice, and I understand your point, but I wish negative feedback could be seen as a good thing. If you or those creators don’t see that way, I get it
I was very much looking forward to it it was announced and having just finished the video I’m left with mixed feelings on the video as a whole. I think the idea while very nice leaves some things to be desired in execution. I think the most glaring issue is the lack of input from the fandom past the nominations. One of the key aspects of being a good awards show is being a representation of the thoughts and feelings of the audience as a whole which I don’t this did as the winners were ultimately decided by yourself and not the fandom as a whole. It’s also compounded by the fact that you as you admit haven’t seen everything of the nominees which while understandable I think only makes it more important for the audience/ fandom to decide as we do know these creators inside and out. If you were going to make it based largely on your opinion I feel a showcase rather than an awards ceremony would have been a much more fitting as it’s not so much a competition but a celebration of what the fandom accomplished in 2022 and makes it much more fair on the creators and audience. If you do decide to make this an annual thing I do hope you take on this criticism not as me simply trying to belittle you but as feedback to improve it in future.
Also has been mentioned, I don't believe you received permission from all the creators to showcase their work let alone participate which is something that should have been taken care of.
Not everyone wants to be something like and having your work compared to others creators can demoralizing for some. Again I think just shows some aspects(but very major ones) that you overlooked when creating this.
I would like to informally apologise on the behalf of Play Don’t Pause for the many disservices this video does for this fandom. It was, on paper, a notable idea to help smaller creators get the recognition they deserve but the pompous, self righteous and egotistical presentation is what let this project down. This project was advertised to you all as a celebration of the fandom yet all that Play Don’t Pause delivered was a glorified ranking video based on arbitrary reasons that only barely work in a professional field. On top of which, none that were featured were asked wether they wished to be in it or not and were assumed to be okay with Play Don’t Pause if he stole their work, compared them to each other, complained they weren’t good enough and declared one a “winner”. This fandom is made of passionate, creative, friendly people who’s only goal is to honour a silly book series about trains. Comparing passion projects made out of pure love was morally wrong and Play Don’t Pause should apologise if not for anything then that alone. Thank you for reading and if you yourself are a content creator or wish to be do not listen to this video and continue to create the videos you want for your own reasons, not for a digital trophy. Have a good day and once again, Play Don’t Pause (should) deeply apologise. Thank you
@@tre-engines I don’t think he was either but it was a case of a goodish idea ruined by a bad execution. Done right, this could have been a wonderful video
@@SuperAlex1 No I didn’t and I’m not a creator he stole from either. I wrote this informal apology because Play Don’t Pause didn’t seem like he was going to write one any time soon
THIS Is the Oscars the world actually needs. Buuuut let's keep It all to our fandom hehe Edit: For those who hate this video, id remove my comment Buuut it already has too many likes so there hehe
This is amazing! A great treat that caters to a passionate and nostalgic fan base!! Finally, a reward show made by us for us! (When I say “us,” I’m not a content creator but I am a major Thomas fan)
It’s unfortunate that my writing started getting good toward the end of 2022, not done with the video yet but I know I’m not on it. And I don’t need to, since my stuff is garbage compared to the great videos that are meant to be in this steamy awards this year, btw great video.
Hey, man. Don't put yourself down like that. I'm not familiar with your work, but I'm sure it's not as bad as you think it is. And improvement comes with time. If you keep at it, I'm certain you'll get to a point where you're happy with your writing skills.
@@bavarianbanshee Thank you for your advice, maybe I will, plus, thanks for sort of lifting my spirits as today I wasn’t happy with a lot of things I’d done.
After watching this hour long video this makes me happy to say that I'm apart of the Thomas fandom even though the fandom may have its ups and downs we still keep thriving and making wonderful stuff making friends and etc the show might not what we grew up on but but we can continue what it was amazing steamy awards my dude and congratulations to everyone who participated. 👌🤩👏
You know I got to tell you that ending got me feeling some tipe of way 🥲 I just want to share this is the best fandom ever and I've been watching the show ever since I've had the VHS tapes since I was like five and it was always different from any other show I watched as a kid it always just stuck with me for some reason you know I didn't have a very stable Life as a kid and the only time I really ever felt safe was when I was sitting down and watching those tapes and then when I was growing up I would watch the fan videos on TH-cam I really thought as I got older I was the only one who was still into it but then I realized there are so many people who's still enjoy it I just wanted to say thanks to the Thomas fandom and like everybody who loves the show because this show and everything that has come from it has really helped me through some hard times just wanted to get that off my chest I guess IDK🤷♂️ I've been smoking that Welsh coal and I got really emotional😂
Well, Joey Turner does have his own comics on DeviantART, so he still does Thomas content, just not often on TH-cam, not to mention he released a dub of The Railcar and the Bus during 2022, you really should've counted his 2022 comics for the nominations.
I love CoyoteMedia he makes the best LEGO Thomas animations, anyways you should definitely make more of these in future! Seems like many don't understand what fair use is..
Victors series is the best of 2022? The series that lacks a coherent story, lacks breaks in narration and has a narrative and story that cant keep up with its own in universe lore, is the best series in 2022?, this award video makes absolutely no sense
@@PlayDontPause you may like it, im not saying you cant, but there where far better series out there with BETTER stories and BETTER narration, and thats a fact. Liking the series is one thing, but liking it cant be the only point for giving it an award
@@tannergreco2000 my opinion wouldnt matter, its an award show, the last opinion you would take into consideration is the one of the person hosting it, although for a FACT theres far better series out there than victors series, make no mistake
You may think that, but you NEED to be respectful. Play, Don’t Pause was trying to make a good video and you shouldn’t say something like that. It’s better to respect other people’s opinions as well as your own.
@@supercamo3642 you say this yet the man made an "award" video literally trashing others work, how am I supposed to be expected to respect someone elses opinion when said "opinion" is just trash talking others?
This was so worth the wait, I'm absolutely amazed about all the content creators mentioned in this video. It's wonderful seeing the TH-camrs whom I am subscribed to get the respect and the recognition that they deserve and to TH-camrs who's content I'm now inspired to check out. The two main examples are Calebtrain (12:53) and GreatWesternLegacy (55:18) Thank you for all your hard work for putting this video together, this was an outstanding video to end 2022 and begin 2023. Happy New Year Play, Don't Pause - Writer's Pen👍🏻

I think it’s a bit too late for this now, after 3 weeks of this going, I think the damage is already done
Didn't we tell you already? Delete this bad video, NOW.
Just take the video down man, the damage has been done.
@@TheEdwardWarrior Yeah, probably. With respect, if it wasn't for the fact that on upload day, I wasn't...super tired from spending nine hours on polish...and also going to work that same day...proooobably could've gotten that done the day of.
At the time, I just wanted to rest. And then work happened, life happened...I suppose that's just the way things shook out.
You forgot Kevin Parry. 0:15
This was very good to watch. And honestly seeing myself even as just a mention put the biggest grin on my face for the last few hours.
All the creators big/small all were respectfully mentioned and described even a little.
Can't wait to see more man!
I'm really glad to hear you liked it! I'm glad all that work paid off!
I wanna thank you personally for this video. It’s not often that the smaller creators in the community get the recognition they deserve for their brilliant work. Also, I was not expecting an honourable mention in this video, and I cannot be more honoured. Thanks man! :)
I wanna thank YOU for the nice comment!
What going do
The ending almost made me cry seeing how this fandom gets better and better everyday, I really think I should find what I'm really capable of, thanks to your message... Thank you
I dunno how I feel about almost making someone cry, but I THINK I'll take it as a compliment.
Great video! I love that all these other Thomas TH-camrs get what they deserve and get an award for their amazing work. Thank you for creating such good content and helping other Thomas TH-cam creators get more recognition. ❤️👍
This has to be the most polarized comment section I've ever seen. I don't know how to feel about this.
I think if your going to do this again. You can make votes for the nominations for the fandom, as well your own opinion. Because this definitely feels like only the latter.
So, about that. I actually DID originally intend to do a community poll...but as you might expect, The Unlucky Tug, TrainBoy, ect. ended up being nominated for every category, so I had to change my plans. Hence, why I limited each creator to one award.
Is it possible that I could've made the vote work? Sure. But at the time, I thought I could only to one of the other. I hope you understand.
@@PlayDontPause you could just do a community poll with a 1 to 5 score for each nomination in each category, add them up and see who wins each section.
@@PlayDontPause can we have a best banter award for which I nominated auld Lang syne
As soon as I had seen this video, I knew I had to watch it. I've been watching it for a bit now. Gotta say I'm most pleased with it. I've heard and learned of so many different creators that I never even knew tons of content I had forgotten about. I love this community very much so. I look forward to next years steamy awards .
I'm glad you liked it! And I'm also happy to shed some light on a TON of other creators that people might not know about.
The saddest part is that he wasn’t able to include the Master of the Lemon audio stories
Yeah he would’ve definitely won otherwise
He’s the biggest inspiration to me
@@ScrapyardStudios IKR!
This is one of the most interesting things I've ever seen. I do remember filling out an entry for this for other users but I didn't think think I could have almost been nominated for a steamy award. And the fact that I was put in the same Runnings with Thomas1Edward2Henry3 and EnterprisingEngine93 absolutely made my jaw drop when I saw myself 1:21:34. While it is a shame that I didn't win, Matt definitely deserved that award more than I did and so I applaud him for that. And yeah I may not be as known as I've only been around for 5 years. Pierce it was still an honor to be featured in this. And I hope to make more videos and customs for a long time. Again Stellar video dude and a great way to kick off this year.
I'm glad you had fun with this! I'm sorry you didn't win, though. Perhaps I'll come up with something for next year that doesn't have an award...that was EVERYBODY WINS! WOO!
Aye, nicely done Thomas themed version of the Oscars. Hopefully another video could be make like this at the beginning of everywhere. And thanks for featuring a clip view of my own series for the Best Series awards.
But bravo to everyone else who were nominated and won :D
* not sure how i feel about the part where you show videos of mine from when i was eight/ten years old without my permission!
* in fact, i believe many of the people featured here feel the same way about their work being entered into this "competition. "
* this is extremely offputting as a content creator; we make these videos for fun and claiming that one of us did better than all the others is not exactly a boost to morale.
* it's the thomas fandom, we don't WANT an oscars where one person gets an award and everyone else gets a half-compliment. it takes the fun out of what we do.
* and, for the record, yes, my sound design isn't perfect, i am acutely aware.
* i would have preferred if such critique wasn't given through a rip-off oscars for people to see.
* i do not care that i've "lost" here, what i do care about is how this makes us as content creators feel about what we do as a hobby and how this feels very unprofessional.
* i am not at comfortable with my work being presented in a competition i never entered without my permission, and i really would have preferred it if videos of me as a young child weren't used here regardless of context.
* you said you weren't going to look at twitter and were going to let it "run its course. "
* so allow me to bring my complaints to your doorstep! i am not impressed by your complete lack of respect.
Interesting that you removed the fact you (like everyone on that site) was upset that Victor one a award, probably because it'll be used against your argument for not caring you didn't win.
.
Also your acting like he's shitting on the other creators, half compliments are still compliments at the end of the day. You taking it poorly is only really on you, because everyone else seems ok from it except for you. It isn't like he's asking his creators to harass others (unlike you and your little Victor comments.)
.
You hiding behind the "it isn't good too compare artist" (which I do agree with, but I do let one video bug me THIS much.) Is a common argument with stuff like these, even though it's clear that your saying all of this too excuse the fact your anger that someone you don't like (which is perfectly find mind you.)
Won where you didn't.
.
I'm not saying this as a fan of anyone. I just can tell when someone's talking about one thing, and that they truly mean another.
.
I wouldn't be surprised if you'd make a Twitter comment about me. It's a coping thing I get it.
* well, i can't exactly endorse the bigot that tanzig has consistently been!
* i think it's quite deserved, wasn't planning on mentioning it because i want this to be about the creator of this video and what's he done with my content and many others.
@@staticsoul sounds to me like you're the one coping.
@@leatherbootlace coping for what? I'm not a fan of Victor or the creator, I know the guy's offense. I knew this type of reactions would happen when his name was brought up. I'm pointing out true feelings.
EDIT: but I do agree taking older videos is shitty. As someone with gender issues myself.
@@leatherbootlace I, personally don’t think anyone is coping. I just think it got shocked, then angry after seeing some of their content from their younger selves be disblayed to the fandom instead of something more recent. And also the content was displayed without consent
I feel like people have either forgotten or never watched Ramahfool back in the late 2000s and early 2010s, he was my favorite Thomas youtuber when I was a little kid, I feel like he should've been recommended in the "Legacy Honorable Mentions" category.
Either way, I just wanted to say this was an amazing video, and I enjoyed all 90 minutes of it. I really hope there's one for 2023 !!
Finally, someone else who knows Ramahfool, I’m not alone
I agree to this too!
facts, ramahfool was the goat back in the day
Ramahfool was a legend in the tomy/trackmaster scene, I loved his videos when I was younger
Agreed
I’m grew up every one of Thomas TH-camrs back in the good old 2000s when I was so young, they’re all masterpieces, hilarious and amazed
Really interesting. I had a great time while watching it and I really enjoyed it. The winners also definitely deserved their win.
Holy Titan, what a video. Congratulations to everyone who was nominated an award, or even got close to have their videos disected for what it is that made them great. I
I have to admit, seeing DemonOfNowhere and my boy Sheffield have their content use in the background (with the former almost winning an award no less) made me happy beyond belief (I'm surprised I haven't spontaneously combusted LOL)
All in all, amazing video, and can't wait to see what comes next, and if there is a Steamies award vid for 2023. Until we meet again!
I'm not sure I'll do a Steamy Awards for 2023...but there might be something else...we'll have to wait and see!
Anyways, thank you for all the kind words! I'm really glad you liked it. Six months well spent in my mind!
@@PlayDontPause then do yourself a favor and stay off Twitter for a few days (it's bad, believe me)

Here’s to many more years of Thomas the Tank Engine!
I'm super glad you liked it! The awards are what they are, but the point of this competition was to show off as MANY creators as possible. I hope in that respect, I did a good job.

The biggest shame...not being able to consider Flying Pringle's Project Tiger Moth.
Oh, I had a joke in mind at the end of the video that I scrapped for time...but it had to do with Project Tiger Moth.
Twitter is solid chaos. So is this video. Screw Victor Tanzig.
victor tanzigs shorts ruined his channel
@@CrispyNuggetProductions That’s.. not the point.
@@loganthe9f51 Okay, any other criticisms you have (besides the shorts and the Reddit Railway, both of which I'm lukewarm on at best)?
@@paisleepunk His series relies on cheap shock value, dull dialogue, and the same four camera angles used infinitely. It had a good start, but Stories of War was a mistake, and the whole series just went downhill from there.
I was also particularly frustrated with PDP praising Lamp so much, when it’s one of Victor’s most tasteless episodes. The way that he handles the trauma is… iffy, at best.
(Is highlighted in the opening) >.> bear in mind, most of my new Thomas stuff is on DeviantART nowadays ^^;
I’d like to request that either my footage and likeness/name be removed or the video taken down. I do not want to be associated with this. Thanks

You dropped this king 👑
SUMBIT THE COPYRIGHT CLAIM
@@SuperAlex1 thats the only way anyone listens. So they should have done it as soon as the video was released.
It's thanks to sll these creators that Thomas is still alive, thank you all ❤️
I understand the whole point for this 'award show', it was a sweet idea but this is chaos. You didn't ask any permission for any of the videos in this, not to mention bluntly comparing people's content. if you ever decide to do this again, I'd ask permission and approach this with a gentler mindset with ackwowledgment that an indiviual being has made every single of these 'submissions'. (and do your research)
I genuniely don't have a clue why Victor Tanzig won best series. like there are other creators that deserve this award than Victor. cough cough *tardisrescue* cough cough. how are you going to critisce Dan for 'fancy' angles when you're dickriding Victor for using god awful story telling and disgusting cinematography. a lot of personal bias comes into this as well
not everything was used in the Railway Series and not everything needs to be used for it be good. It leaves more imagation/interpation to the viewer and it works well. If you wanted to ever know more, it was there if you did. it doesn't make the book
"the less is more argueement" doesn't really work here. it's just ugly to look at and not effective to his story telling. a 2012 Jeremy Crispo video looks better (and I wish I was joking). of course you don't have to make everything look it's abosutle best but there's a certain level of proffesnialism to it.
please do better
This comment describes this perfectly imo. His whole Victor Tanzig thing reminds me of the whole theory of how the Academy Awards prefer Disney and or Pixar movies over everything else in the Best Animated Feature category
Victor tanzig's videos aren't bad or anything too bad but they're so overrated imo
Respectfully, the man has made content about racism, train pregnancy, steam engine gas chambers, et.c. it's disgusting

Thomas creator collective was good , until 2018.....
this was a good idea on paper but really rough in execution. Its nice seeing people happy for appearing or winning but I understand the others who are mad they were included without being informed. I hope the criticisms given are listened to the idea of going over and talking about the best videos/creators is great but the award show style format was not the best way to do it. Maybe a retrospective or top 10 would be better then treating it as the Oscars.
I suppose you're right. I just thought the idea of having an Oscars styled show would be really novel.
@@PlayDontPause I kinda liked it. I shed a few tears tho in some of the portions if the video.
As much as I really like this concept, a lot. I am a bit mixed about the idea of only one person choosing when these sorts of awards is voted for. But TBF, it is a healthy way to shine light on smaller creators since there is a 95% chance that bigger creators would just dominate the entire event. IDK, maybe split it next time between big creators division and smal creators division.
Thank you...I know I'm just one guy, but I did try to be as fair as I could. I do regret not having an extra category or two for some of these people.
@@PlayDontPause Fair, and If I could add two more thing; to make it easier for yourself next, if there is ever going to be a next time, (1) appoint the nominees and have people vote so it isn’t so biased (2) don’t bother reviewing each nominee, just call the out, show a bit of clips of their work and announce the winner. It seems like many people are just upset that their works were judged in a comperative manner, which can be demoralizing I guess. But We’ll done either way
@@PlayDontPause Okay, my guy, usually I respect your content. But saying that you tried to be as fair as you could is COMPLETE bullshit. You went into this with preconceived biases and clearly weren't going to budge on your opinions. Really, if you wanted to highlight the things you liked, you didn't have to insult and nitpick other people for 90 minutes.
also, the fact that you praise Tanzig's cinematography while dissing TardisRescue for using so-called "fancy angles" shows a complete lack of awareness of the subject matter. TardisRescue is using perfectly normal and varied shot composition, while Victor just uses the same three or four angles over and over again. There's nothing good about Tanzig's cinematography. It's either repetitive, messy, or both.
Finally, nitpicking the Thomas Cynic like that pissed me off for two major reasons. 1. Your bias was massive, and the entire analysis of Thomas' Moral Compass (which isn't even CLOSE to his best video) felt like a backhanded compliment. 2. That dude was my best friend in the fandom for years before he left, you think I'm going to let that shit slide?
So, yeah. Claiming that you tried to be fair is a load of bullshit, and you know it. Just apologize, take the video down, and try to start fresh.
sorry for saying this but he has stated that they are not going to be deleting this video
One Victor Tanzig and Unlucky Tug are my two favorites, and two holy cow many more things I need to watch! 🤩
PDP, this was INCREDIBLE. I've watched many of the creators shown, but now there's even more I need to see. You've shown us how thousands of people around the world work together to make AMAZING projects, and they all came together by the power of a blue choo choo with a face, and all of his friends. Congratulations to all the award winners. And hopefully there will be another Steamy Awards next year.
This video was incredible. Not afraid to be critical. And bringing up very good points. Soon i hope to make thomas content just like the people you mentioned here and yourself. I really really can’t wait for next years one (guessing this will be a yearly tradition)
I'm frankly irritated and disgusted about the lack of appreciation for the art that many of the people you included in this video, especially without their consent.
Many of my friends' art, whether it was drawn art, composed music, or TH-cam films, is all art, but the way you go about here feels like you're treating them like products or toys to use on your own whim. Every person you listed here created some kind of art, which they more often than not spent hours of hard work, physically and mentally, to create. Not getting their full consent to use here is something artists struggle enough with as is in the real professional world with all the eNeFfTee and A-Eye theft, and not even getting it for something like this is inexcusable and scummy.
You wanted to make this video to try and bring fans together to celebrate, I get that, but the methods you went about doing so undermine just that. I don't think trying to make an awards show where you frequently and bluntly compare one artist's work to another's is bringing them all together. It does anything BUT uplift them.
I get there's a lot of creators to ask for full consent, too, but patience IS a virtue, and in the real world you need it to get anything done right. If they say they don't want to be in something, respect their art and wishes and don't use their work. Do NOT just throw them in anyways and then wonder toy yourself why they're not happy and why they question you why they weren't consulted first. You said you spent a lot of time making this video. I don't think you'd be pleased if someone took your own video just because and then claimed 'it's for review purposes' for their own gain.
The fans who made all these things are not big corporate companies. They are independent artists who take so much time, money and energy out of their own lives to make what they make.
You're absolutely right. I'm currently working on making things right to the best of my ability to fix this, including removing the artist section (to the best of my ability with the buttered fish that is the youtube editor), save for the winner.
@@PlayDontPause I know this isn't my comment, but I'm glad you're taking steps to smooth over any problems. I'm positive you didn't MEAN for any of this to come off as offensive, and I'm glad you're acknowledging people's feelings instead of just calling them butthurt. I really hope you take another crack at this next year.

Hello
The best editor in 2022 well done. 😄
TOGETHER LMFAOOOOO
You may be the 🐐 of Thomas and friend’s editing
You deserve it.
That Henry short is making me cry 😭😭😭😭 but it's uplifting in a way
This was just beautiful, the awards, the creators being honored, and the whole description of what the Thomas Fandom has become and accomplished over the years. I may not have many people in my personal life who appreciate this like I do, but I’m glad to have found a place online where I can continuously watch the adventures of a silly little blue tank engine, with six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler, and of course a short stumpy dome. 🙂
Okay I'm going to try and be civil with this
Your main flaw here is that you went too hard, and you've contradicted yourself multiple times
You said you couldn't get permission and inform everybody in the video, and yet you were able to inform most if not all of the winners that they won you could have at least gotten permission from everyone else whilst you were at it
Some people didn't want to be in this video and that's fair especially considering you didn't even talk about them and just use their clips for bad examples or good examples
It's clear that you were biased in this as well, I get that unlucky tug was winning everything but then you probably should have just taken him out of the polls, tanzig shouldn't have won and that seems to be something a majority of the fanbase agrees on, especially considering what you stated about it versus The Railway Series, be real with me here if this wasn't a trainz series would you have picked it? Would this series still hold up if it was in Wooden Railway?
The majority of the winners were trainz users or makes model trains, you kind of ditched to everyone else
I believe you can improve, everyone can this. This video was a misstep and now everybody's shown how they don't like being included in videos without being told especially in something like this or you're trying to say what is the best of ___ thing.
I get that in the beginning you did state that this was going to be biased but it shouldn't be biased to this degree when you're trying to be objective
I do give credit to the community coming together as a result of the vid in a sense.
This was an train ride for this video, seeing creators that i watch from time to time, and also seeing new content creators i never heard of before, really makes being a Thomas fan, much much greater then before. Keep up the hard work everyone!
1:27:12 that is a straight up lie
making a video essay about a character/story/anything in thomas isn't taking inspiration from a big TH-camr.
Literally that's like if I said your channel was "taking inspiration" from mine because we both make videos.
Also, alot of people appeared who requested not to be. Which is funny because you didn't say anything about them yet.
We should probably change this video’s name from the steamy awards to “what happened” because I have no idea what the hell even happened here! There’s stuff about twitter going nuts about this (why am I not surprised), there’s stuff about Victor Tanzig (which I had no idea about) and stuff about stolen content? I don’t know what to believe anymore! I’m out of the fandom for a while and shit already has hit the fan! Just what is going on here!?
Yeah all this drama makes me want to leave this godforsaken fandom. It's like they can't go 5 second without something else stupid happening. Like can't people learn to just be civil? Kind of ironic that the Thomas community (About a show that has morals about teaching people not to be assholes to one another.) of all places turns out to be just as toxic and irritable as the Nintendo or Star Wars fandom.
If you want to know wash to know what happened to missoliverandblossom, he’s now called DaWillstanator and he often collaborates with Joey Turner. He still humorous and a great actor. And I coincidentally met him when I booked an Uber to Souplantation.

You don’t wanna know how exciting this is, I’m a fan of their content and part of cast for an upcoming project!
The editing has improved over time :D
And ya I get it, Sodor and the S.C.P is kinda a silly concept…especially since I never did my research on S.C.P until after the first episode was released lol

an HOUR?!!1!
You bet I'm watching thus
What did u think?
SAME
Tons, my guy.... you're never getting that hour and a half back.
The response video after this wildfire is legit the first time I seen that an youtube apology or response that was actually good and honest
Good on you man 👍
I love how TrainBoy wins an award in this, and then posts on his twitter that he didn't watch it, then goes on a whole tangent about how everyone who's offended by this has a right to be upset.
Seriously though, this is such a mess. The disrespect to so many creators here is just... wow. If you do this again, there needs to be so much more research and ASKING PERMISSION done next time.
People are not upset because "oh why didn't you pick this one" it's because you used so much content that was not yours and didn't ask permission. They're also upset because the way you critique content is so harmful. You can't just say something's good and then rudely point out how bad or flawed everything else is.
Even some of the biggest creators that are featured in this (EpicLafiteu, Joey Turner, BlueSnowplow, etc) are all upset with you.
My advice, don't do this again.
this ^^
In my honest opinion, I think the idea was great, but it executed poorly, if he had just asked permission from the creators then all my complaints will be gone
This intire thing was fucking Shit,Starting off with Victor and Carson and Stolen Assets and Footage.
Even people on discord are shaming him. The golden rules always ask permission, and always watch the content before you make a decision.
Ok i have a reason to hate this more because i didn't know the footage was stolen until now
Sucks that All Eyes On Dennis came out on New Year's Eve. It definitely deserves something.
I have a lot to say on this, and part of it has to do with the fact that you did NOT receive my permission to use my content in your videos.
Firstly, in terms of my content, I am okay with people using my content so long as they have my direct permission. I understand it can be hard to contact me, but all it takes is a Twitter ping and DM to contact me. I'll respond eventually, but I am very busy. I appreciate being considered for best fan series, and I'm not against being judged again next year so long as the feedback isn't too harsh or biased. (Also my visuals are not good, I used Lego duplo for gods sakes)
I think the idea of a Thomas Fandom Oscars has the potential to be a lot of fun. The issues that exist, however, cannot be ignored.
1. You did not receive permission from ANY of these users, and in a project like this, their approval is absolutely necessary.
2. Many people in this fandom don't like the idea of having their content compared to other users and competing with other users for awards and things like that. Many people use this platform as an escape, a hobby, or a way of expressing themselves without being judged by others. This video takes away from that.
I will say, the editing in this video is phenomenal, and I like the approach, but you failed to receive the support of the content creators you featured and so the video is backfiring and blowing up in your face. I have two alternatives you could pursue in the future.
1. Do this again next year, but ONLY if you receive permission from the content creator. This means permission to use footage/audio and permission to judge, critique, score and rank their videos.
2. Do a 2023 summary video summarizing a lot of the highlights from the fandom and their creativity. Highlight different types of videos (reviews, short stories, series, adaptations, music, editing, artwork, documentaries, etc). Once again, obtain permission from the users FIRST. If you don't get their permission or don't hear from them, don't use their stuff. It's that simple.
I also think the way you went about judging these videos was kinda...not it. It's clear you have some personal biases or are not aware of some of the content some of these users post. I think, if you are able to do this next year, you should have a group of judges and a voting option so that other people have a say in what happens. But again, this is only possible with people's permission, so I'm not sure if that's even an option at this point.
Again, I like the idea, but the execution (besides the solid editing) was very poor. I know you did not intend harm, but competitions and comparisons aren't really a staple of this fandom unless people want to.
damn bro I don't remember asking. I swear this community can't handle anything. I see nothing wrong in the video.
@@aoiasahinashusband I have a huge problem with this video and I hope you have the maturity to understand that. People do not want their content judged like this, it's as simple as that.
I honestly couldn't have put it better myself(and didn't). A good idea that was horribly flawed in execution.
@@GTSHProductions seems like a you problem. if you don't like it to be judged then don't put it on the internet. that's how it is, it's meant to be judged. there is a reason likes exist on videos. the reason TH-cam removed dislikes is because of softies like you who can't take criticism.

I feel like this is a great template, it wasn't the best execution but look forward to the 2024 steamys
The whole video was really unneeded. From the lack of research, the disrespect to a lot of the creators, very biased selections that take only YOUR opinions on account, to the not asking for permission to use the other creators content.
This is a mess. Dare I even call it hot garbage. Please never do something like this ever again.
Also I'm extremely dissapointed that Sodor: The Modern Years wasn't even mentioned in the Best Series catagory. WildNorWester has put his heart and soul into that series over the past 11 years.
Amen to that, this never needed to happen. All PDP needed to do was make a video highlighting his favorite things that the fandom did this year, and all of this never would have happened. He dug his own grave, now he needs to lie in it. I wish I could apologize to the creators personally.

Someone who’s been grinding out content for years whos gone relatively unknown is shunter productions I highly recommend their channel
I certainly agree there. They make some fantastic content
OH BOY... this video's reception is a trainwreck of good and bad. I keep noticing the comments stating lack of permission - which is very important - and the controversy behind many of the nominees; I may not know all the drama behind a lot of them (and I think it'd be wise of myself to stay out of it) but I think this video became a spark to the gunpowder barrel that was the Thomas fandom.
I myself thought that this video was interesting, seeing all of these incredible pieces of work that people from everywhere put their efforts into. It is important to obtain permission for using these clips, that I do agree. However, on the topic of controversy: rather than watching everyone wage war on each other on how messed up a certain content creator is, I prefer to enjoy the content itself.
Ay... quite a great shame that a lot of the fandom is bashing you for a couple of crucial mistakes on such a hard-crafted video, but there's always the opportunity to learn from these experiences. I do like your content, and I hope that if you ever hold the Steamy Awards again next year, these lessons to be learned from are taken into consideration.
This really helped me. I am about halfway through the video and wondering why there is such a high amount of dislikes, but your comment helped me to understand the issues. Thanks!
To be honest, I think the whole "drama behind nominees" is the perfect example of separating art from artist.
Take the example of Victor Tanzig, who gets cancelled on twitter because he did joke after joke that twitter crybabies didn't like such as the pregnant Rosie little arc, but then, his ACTUAL series, Stories of Sodor (and SCPs of Sodor) definitely deserves to: 1) be nominated and 2) win the awards it got nominated to.
To be fair, this was an amazing kind of video and it's a real shame that so many content creators are getting salty at everything in this video, take the example of DemonOfNowhere.
@@Yerba1909 Well, they do have a right to be salty, though it does look pretty toxic. I mean, PDP could potentially be copystriked and already got "canceled" by the fandom due to this video...

@@thetechnocrat4979 PDP has made a video regarding all of the Steamy Awards drama; I recommend watching it. As for Victor Tanzig, I've heard of allegations of him making Nazi jokes or something along the lines of that. Like I said before, I just stay away from that kind of drama.
A couple of my friend’s works were entered into this video without their knowledge or consent.
It is incredibly disrespectful to not only use their work without permission, but to claim that other works are objectively better.
In future, please consult the people who’s work you are using. And do not use said work unless given express permission
I love how when you were praising other peoples work in your older WDIB videos, no one had a problem with it. But as soon as you start criticizing their work, NOW it's not right and you need permission.
Exactly! They are a bunch of softies afraid of ' harmful ' comments.
Honestly this is why the Fandom should own thomas and friends we need a petition to take thomas and friends into our own hands
Amen on that one
Eh....I think it's better when it's not actually owned. I feel like that would cause problems, like the Star tugs trust or whatever it was.

@@tre-engines it doesn't matter if it's credited. The use of such small content creators passion projects, especially in a way that pits them against other creators and results in an intense criticism for said projects is still disrespectful. Rather than just arguing that oh 'its technically fair if they're credited' why don't we listen to the creators who's work has been featured, and torn apart by this? Demonofnowhere for example is incredibly disappointed with the way their content was attacked in order to prop up another video. This isn't what the community is about.
@@oscarknight3588 It wouldn’t be very fair though if he just talked about the positives without the negatives. Negative feedback is a chance for people to improve their content and he says nice things about everyone in this video
@@tre-engines There's negative feediback, or constructive criticism as you're describing and then theres this. Regardless of how YOU feel this has gone down shouldn't we listen to the hard working creators who have spilt so much time into their work and how they feel their work has been judged, nitpicking things such as the wrong font, or 'funky camera angles' which are realistically basic, realistic camera angles to film models with. It would be fair if there was an even, or just reasonable amount of positives to balance out the negatives, which is clearly not the case.
@@oscarknight3588 If people have a problem with their work being criticized I can understand why they’d be a little upset, but at the same time, negative feedback is for people to know if they’re doing something wrong and how to improve it. I know they didn’t ask for advice, and I understand your point, but I wish negative feedback could be seen as a good thing. If you or those creators don’t see that way, I get it
I was very much looking forward to it it was announced and having just finished the video I’m left with mixed feelings on the video as a whole. I think the idea while very nice leaves some things to be desired in execution.
I think the most glaring issue is the lack of input from the fandom past the nominations. One of the key aspects of being a good awards show is being a representation of the thoughts and feelings of the audience as a whole which I don’t this did as the winners were ultimately decided by yourself and not the fandom as a whole. It’s also compounded by the fact that you as you admit haven’t seen everything of the nominees which while understandable I think only makes it more important for the audience/ fandom to decide as we do know these creators inside and out.
If you were going to make it based largely on your opinion I feel a showcase rather than an awards ceremony would have been a much more fitting as it’s not so much a competition but a celebration of what the fandom accomplished in 2022 and makes it much more fair on the creators and audience.
If you do decide to make this an annual thing I do hope you take on this criticism not as me simply trying to belittle you but as feedback to improve it in future.
Also has been mentioned, I don't believe you received permission from all the creators to showcase their work let alone participate which is something that should have been taken care of.
Not everyone wants to be something like and having your work compared to others creators can demoralizing for some. Again I think just shows some aspects(but very major ones) that you overlooked when creating this.

I would like to informally apologise on the behalf of Play Don’t Pause for the many disservices this video does for this fandom.
It was, on paper, a notable idea to help smaller creators get the recognition they deserve but the pompous, self righteous and egotistical presentation is what let this project down.
This project was advertised to you all as a celebration of the fandom yet all that Play Don’t Pause delivered was a glorified ranking video based on arbitrary reasons that only barely work in a professional field.
On top of which, none that were featured were asked wether they wished to be in it or not and were assumed to be okay with Play Don’t Pause if he stole their work, compared them to each other, complained they weren’t good enough and declared one a “winner”. This fandom is made of passionate, creative, friendly people who’s only goal is to honour a silly book series about trains. Comparing passion projects made out of pure love was morally wrong and Play Don’t Pause should apologise if not for anything then that alone.
Thank you for reading and if you yourself are a content creator or wish to be do not listen to this video and continue to create the videos you want for your own reasons, not for a digital trophy.
Have a good day and once again, Play Don’t Pause (should) deeply apologise. Thank you
I do understand what you’re saying. I don’t think he’s a bad person or that he meant to offend anyone though
@@tre-engines I don’t think he was either but it was a case of a goodish idea ruined by a bad execution. Done right, this could have been a wonderful video
@@thediamondtank Did you help with this video?
@@SuperAlex1 No I didn’t and I’m not a creator he stole from either. I wrote this informal apology because Play Don’t Pause didn’t seem like he was going to write one any time soon
@@thediamondtank Oh ok thanks
55:35 i agree , and that Music oh my god just buetifull
THIS Is the Oscars the world actually needs. Buuuut let's keep It all to our fandom hehe
Edit: For those who hate this video, id remove my comment Buuut it already has too many likes so there hehe
Yes let's do that hehehehhehehhehe
Yes indeed!
I wish leokomvideos kept making mad bomber, and wish that be87 kept making his funny content
Considering what's already conspired, PLEASE!
What if we never do it again, people are NOT happy, look at these comments!
This is amazing! A great treat that caters to a passionate and nostalgic fan base!!
Finally, a reward show made by us for us!
(When I say “us,” I’m not a content creator but I am a major Thomas fan)
35:28 such and honor to be mentioned in this video lol tysm
It’s unfortunate that my writing started getting good toward the end of 2022, not done with the video yet but I know I’m not on it. And I don’t need to, since my stuff is garbage compared to the great videos that are meant to be in this steamy awards this year, btw great video.
Hey, man. Don't put yourself down like that. I'm not familiar with your work, but I'm sure it's not as bad as you think it is. And improvement comes with time. If you keep at it, I'm certain you'll get to a point where you're happy with your writing skills.
@@bavarianbanshee Thank you for your advice, maybe I will, plus, thanks for sort of lifting my spirits as today I wasn’t happy with a lot of things I’d done.
After watching this hour long video this makes me happy to say that I'm apart of the Thomas fandom even though the fandom may have its ups and downs we still keep thriving and making wonderful stuff making friends and etc the show might not what we grew up on but but we can continue what it was amazing steamy awards my dude and congratulations to everyone who participated. 👌🤩👏
You know I got to tell you that ending got me feeling some tipe of way 🥲 I just want to share this is the best fandom ever and I've been watching the show ever since I've had the VHS tapes since I was like five and it was always different from any other show I watched as a kid it always just stuck with me for some reason you know I didn't have a very stable Life as a kid and the only time I really ever felt safe was when I was sitting down and watching those tapes and then when I was growing up I would watch the fan videos on TH-cam I really thought as I got older I was the only one who was still into it but then I realized there are so many people who's still enjoy it I just wanted to say thanks to the Thomas fandom and like everybody who loves the show because this show and everything that has come from it has really helped me through some hard times just wanted to get that off my chest I guess IDK🤷♂️ I've been smoking that Welsh coal and I got really emotional😂
Can’t wait for next years steamy awards
The way you said "fucking MAGIC" had me in stitches.
This video in a nutshell: everyone is fucking terrible and daddy Victor Tanzig is a god
truth
Not the vibe I'm getting so far, but I see where you'd get that (there's a LOT of history to unpack for those uninitiated to fully get it)
Your so beyond wrong
@@lerx_mex7601 how?
Uh no! He did not do that. He went out of his way to actually highlight some of the lesser known content creators.
Well, Joey Turner does have his own comics on DeviantART, so he still does Thomas content, just not often on TH-cam, not to mention he released a dub of The Railcar and the Bus during 2022, you really should've counted his 2022 comics for the nominations.
Just bringing it out there now.
Joey actually did mention on twitter how he was displeased how all he got was essentially "this is what you used to be"
* 1:09:48 That's me!!!
* Really happy Sodor Without Edward got an honourable mention!!!
I love CoyoteMedia he makes the best LEGO Thomas animations, anyways you should definitely make more of these in future!
Seems like many don't understand what fair use is..
Victors series is the best of 2022? The series that lacks a coherent story, lacks breaks in narration and has a narrative and story that cant keep up with its own in universe lore, is the best series in 2022?, this award video makes absolutely no sense
Well, I certainly like it. But you're more than entitled to your criticisms.
@@PlayDontPause you may like it, im not saying you cant, but there where far better series out there with BETTER stories and BETTER narration, and thats a fact.
Liking the series is one thing, but liking it cant be the only point for giving it an award
@@tannergreco2000 my opinion wouldnt matter, its an award show, the last opinion you would take into consideration is the one of the person hosting it, although for a FACT theres far better series out there than victors series, make no mistake
You may think that, but you NEED to be respectful. Play, Don’t Pause was trying to make a good video and you shouldn’t say something like that. It’s better to respect other people’s opinions as well as your own.
@@supercamo3642 you say this yet the man made an "award" video literally trashing others work, how am I supposed to be expected to respect someone elses opinion when said "opinion" is just trash talking others?
Amazing video I am happy to be part of this fandom and it has made who I am
This was so worth the wait, I'm absolutely amazed about all the content creators mentioned in this video.
It's wonderful seeing the TH-camrs whom I am subscribed to get the respect and the recognition that they deserve and to TH-camrs who's content I'm now inspired to check out.
The two main examples are Calebtrain (12:53) and GreatWesternLegacy (55:18)
Thank you for all your hard work for putting this video together, this was an outstanding video to end 2022 and begin 2023.
Happy New Year Play, Don't Pause - Writer's Pen👍🏻
I'm really glad this was worth the wait!
Me: I am Totally not inspired to make my own kind of content and pour my heart and Soul into it. Nope not one bit.
