WIP: Countdown to Dawntrail begins!

And with it, a new video project to match! Less than a month to go~ :D
Hello! I hope everyone had a nice week so far. I'm so happy wit the reactions to the last video, thank you so much! I was really worried about that one. I will be making a video for this sunday talking a little more about it and then oficially move on to the next! Which I already did. This week I was able to finish the initial layout!
LIZARD JOINS THE FRAY!!! ...well, no, not really.
I want to finish this one before Dawntrail's release. I usually decide the title just at the time of posting, but this one I already know it's probably going to be "Me getting ready for Dawntrail", to follow the same type of video I have of the "Me during patch XX" ones.
This time I want to try having the full audio ready before starting the animation, so instead of adapting the duration of the video as I go, like I did with the last ones, I will use the audio in Blender and animate it to fit it. Let's see if it makes things easier!
FFXIV OST Cheeky BGM (Bliss)
I also already picked the BGM, which will be this one.
So far the one thing I still have to figure out for this one, is how to get the VFX for the teleportation in game. I'm still figuring out if I'm going to try and mimic it with a bunch of overlay and effects in premiere, or if there's a better way of recording it from the game. Other than that, it's all pretty much already defined. You can see that the timeline is already very...well, full. But it shouldn't change much from here to the end!
Also no 3D environment this time, only screenshots! And a new glam that doesn't seem like she would suffer a heatstroke in Tural.
If I don't change anything, the video will be 31 seconds long, and there's 9 different shots in Blender. I'm not really worried though because there isn't really any new, difficult type of animation I've never done before, so I expect it to be more chill than the last...which had a few problem shots for me and ended up being 17 different Blender scenes!!! No wonder it took me so long. I kinda counted them wrong from the beginning and started splitting them up as I animated and that's where I ended up.
After this video is ready, DT will be coming out with the graphic update, and I'm excited to see what's going to change for the videos! I wonder if I will be able to update the characters with better textures, and even better rigs! Maybe after that I should even try to learn how to render stuff in Cycles instead...hmm...I hope we get to figure out stuff together and share it here as they update! It's going to be fun!
Thank you very much for your support!
