WIP: The beginning!

It's thursday again already?! That was fast...
Hello! I hope everyone's doing well.
I had a family emergency at the start of the week so I feel like the days went by on a blur (don't worry, everything's fine now! Always wear helmets when riding a bike, it saves lives). After that I was able to finally decide and start working on my next video, and that will be the flashback one I mentioned last week. Starting is the hardest part, but I was able to get over it after some encouragement! Thank you <3
I got to fix G'raha and Lizard's rig. Now my ARR G'raha is actually wearing the right outfit! :D ....except for the arm things. I refuse to add them. He is better without those.
I also spent like 1 hour yesterday gposing around camp to the confusion of many sprouts walking around. Lighting in Mor Dhona is so pretty!
Since this one will be a mix of game cutscenes and custom animation, I want to try to get the look as close as possible to the game footage as I can, and also use lots of mixes of 3D environment parts and screenshots as backgrounds.
This is the first shot I'm setting up:
Is it blending well enough? Here's how the 3D scene actually looks like:
I have a rough layout from last week that I'm now refining shot by shot and re-editing to improve it as much as I can. To be completely honest, I don't know if I'm super confident in this one yet, but I'm sure as long as I keep going, it will turn into something good! Or if not, at least it will be a learning experience, like every one of them. I'll also get to share some Lizard lore as well~
My personal deadline for this one will be until the end of the month, because it is a bit long, even though some of the clips in this timeline are just game cutscenes. Hopefully I can finish it earlier than that when everything is better defined. Then for next month I want to work on something a little lighter, try to do something with some comedy to it...maybe something Dawntrail related because we will be so close to release!!! I'm keeping my expectations towards the story low, but I am very excited about everything else.
Oh, also, I'm also putting together the video for sunday. It will be more of a tutorial on how I did the crying faces for the last video and the Awakening G'raha Tia one. I hope it's helpful! :)
I will work hard so next week I have lots more progress to share!
Thank you very much for your support!

You really think so?! Thank you!!!! I figured doing like that would be easier for me than to get the environment shaders looking right :P

Oh wow! That's such a smart way of mixing in 3D environments! Can't wait to see the next video! :D
