The animation doesn't need to be precise.U could film urself using a broomstick or prop.U don't need to get the strings currently unless that's what u are going for or u want to do a close up shot of the fingers.This way u could come up with different varieties of how u want a character to be portrayed.Study the frames and get a feel of the animation and how it will look.Overall,the animation was really very good.
Yep..still working on it.Btw,have u heard of AnimAll?Its an addon for Blender and it lets u directly animate vertices on a mesh.www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlJ71X…
This could be helpful.You know,this is your first big animation.U will definitely get better with more practice.I still feel I suck at animation.Hopefully,this project I am working on reflects some of the efforts I have made to get better.

Now that I remember, I actually did act out a few scenes using my computer camera (in particular the part when Dante taunts Sasuke and Sephiroth) I even said out his lines and tried to translate the slight changes in my eyes and eyebrows as I spoke onto Dante's face. I probably should have done that more often since I think that animation went quite well.
Looks like a better version of shape keys, seems useful especially that it allows you to animate UVs. Hopefully Maya can do something similar too.
Thanks I hope I do, I'm going to start drawing more too, particularly characters I would like to animate in the future so I get a good idea on how to represent them as 3D models. I guess everyone sucks at first (even my walkcycles look kinda bad) but your 2D animations look pretty good so far, good luck!

No wonder that part looked very well done.It seemed more realistic.
Yep,AnimAll is really cool.I am kinda sure Maya has something like that though I have never tried it.Btw,I wanted to ask.U use control rigs for your animation with curves,right?I use rigify for my models and when I simulate cloth,it collides with the control curves no matter what I try to disable.How did u get the cloth animation to work with ur curves?
Thanks,bud.Drawing is very important.Even the professionals draw all the time to refresh their drawing skills.Walkcycles are a pain to animate..lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm not sure what you mean. I don't think I used curves for it, I also used rigify and just put collision on the actual body mesh of the model, then lowered the collision boundary to the lowest level.
I probably should have found references of the characters walking and used that to create the walkcycles, since each character should have their own style of walking. I know I found a good reference for BRS and Vivi walking but didn't really look hard enough for the others. And on top of that I could have added more variation to it, instead of just repeating the exact same cycle.

Don't worry about it.Your animation will improve with more practice.I am still trying to get better.There is always room for improvement.
As for the cloth question.No worries,I tried it out in Blender,seems like they have fixed it.

You can only improve from now on.
Good luck!

thanks! I remember you were the first to really praise my first animation, it helped drive me on to create this one so... hopefully I'll continue to improve and make more animations! ^^

Props on this!!
And using actual moves from Devil May Cry with Dante. :3
This was stunning, really beautiful. <3

thanks a lot, glad you liked it! Yep I tried to replicate some of Dante's moves from DMC4 and some of Sephiroth's from dissidia

Well, you surely did very well :3
Good going.

Great animation! I loved how you captured Vivi's waddle-walk.

Lol I must say that I really am not a fan of 3d animation (because of Disney, Pixar, etc) but I really enjoyed this. You are very skilled and I think you should keep doings these but as far as critique goes with art, I think you should practice a little bit more on anatomy and movement, and maybe try to define your style more so you really stand out from others. Other than that, this was awesome and good work, and you inspired me to keep practicing so I can do this in a 2d style!!!!!!!

I think you should've gone with www.youtube.com/user/christian… for the voice of Sefirosu. ^^' he doesn't sound right with the other person, no offense.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
You know, it amazes me how often that happens. Also, Christian is a very good friend of mine, and we've done a lot together. You think his Sephiroth is good? Have a listen to his take on Genesis, my GOD he could steal any show as Genesis! Then there's his take on Squall, which is just incredible! Then there's his take on Balthier........ HEAVENLY!
Plus, no offense taken. Yes I'm Aussieroth 
I'm keen, what else didn't you like, and if possible, what did you like about my take?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I asked him first but he couldn't do it. Even though this one doesn't sound much like george newbern I think he does a pretty good interpretation of sephiroth imo
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
ah. lolz well alright then. ^^ I guess the greatest peeve I had was of hearing an accent while the person was speaking. Still a great job overall with the animation and story. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Ah... should've just scrolled down further XD. So your biggest peeve is the accent? I use a kind of RP (Received Pronunciation) meaning that though British, it doesn't quite SOUND British... usually. The rhythm I use is borrowed from the heavily under rated John Rafter Lee. Look him up, he's incredible!
Though I can do a Standard American accent as well, I've gotten a lot of negative feedback on that, mainly because my tone doesn't suit an American Sephiroth as much as a... well, British Sephiroth, but I'm keen to hear your say in the matter for that one if you want me to demonstrate?
As for not sounding like George Newbern... I can't do much about that I'm afraid XD. I make Sephiroth my own.

I'd think it can get depressing having to sing all those dark songs all the time
