WIP: Two more weeks?
🕑 Added 2024-05-09 14:50:41 +0000 UTC
Hello, another weekly update!
This week's been very chill for me. I'm trying to balance my job with animating this video, and it's going well enough. I always wish I had more time to do this, since it's so much more fun to animate G'raha instead of working, but it's fine. Just having some free time to do this already makes me happy! (although sometimes I do want to use that free time to keep going with my anima weapon grind :P)
I managed to animate a total of 14 seconds for this video, including a bit of editing to make them look nicer!
The "flashback" filter over it still might change to match better the echo effect ingame. I need to look at it better to try to copy it. Maybe it might not change the colors too much, but I know there's a few animated effects over it that I want to add!
I have to admit, not all of those 14 seconds were completely new. I did copy at least 3 of those from a past video (and changed the last part, of course). I wonder if anyone will remember that... :x
I don't really know if it saved me that much time though, since simply copy and pasting it from one file to the other didn't really go all that smoothly. Took me a few tries, but it eventually worked! Blender can be finicky sometimes.
The video total will be around 1 minute, but from what I have so far, it's around 44 seconds of custom animation. If I manage to keep the same rhythm, I might finish it in 2 more weeks! Although I didn't touch the shots that I think are going to be the more challenging ones yet...
Was anyone else bothered that the mouth animation during that one choice didn't match what the WoL was supposed to be saying? Or in this case....dramatically yelling.
I feel like since there isn't comedy in this one, it might be harder to get the movement and timing right, so I'll have to take my sweet time animating that one. Part of me also wanted to remake the Exarch's reaction after, but I decided to not do it right now. I don't want to take too long with this one so I'm able to release at least one more before Dawntrail! I have another new idea in my head now that I want to make soon.
This is it for now. Thank you for reading and for your support :)
