      @@EthanBerkey I only noticed something was "off" when the stormtrooper was bringing the briefcase forward. But don't take that as criticism. Character animation is HARD. I'm learning it myself. But as far as integrating them into the scene (focus, black levels, etc.), it's near perfect.

      @EthanBerkey  Před rokem +2

      @@hkh_vfx Oh by all means, its true and I hate that scene hahaha! It was tough because I don't have motion capture so I was working with a combination of blending Mixamo animations together and hand animating him take the case out. You can easily see the dirty transition between his walking while taking the case out. I am super interested in capturing my own motion capture data in the future, especially if we have more time and a budget. I always appreciate good criticism - it helps me learn what other people notice and what I should not try to get away with. The audience is the most important art director!

    I have a few things to say about this, for one, this short show is good for us to see what it means to be a neutral Jedi. When you are a Jedi who has learned from a master, and has lost one. You find yourself lost, and need to find a way, therefore you go out and become something like a rogue like Jedi who know both dark and light side of the force to survive the way you want to
