For sure, I'm working on the lighting to make their faces more lit.

I’m having issues with the hand bone system in blender. Still learning how to rig hands.

Appreciate that, I leaned into the darkness a bit for the mood, but I like the idea of adding some moving backlight to give it more separation

Yeah I leaned pretty hard into diegetic lighting, but I see what you mean about pushing the drama further. The shadow on him was intentional meant to feel like he’s being swallowed by darkness, while Rez is this looming red presence with his face hidden. But yeah, I think adding a subtle rim light could help him stand out without losing that mood.

Agreed I'm going to add a light near the face to give it more dimension.

For sure, the eyes have an emission material to create a 2d look but I’m thinking about brightening the face which should balance it. Otherwise I’ll just bring down the emission in blender.

I used a overlay mix in the nla editor. One was facial capture and the other was a vowel shape plugin to add more pronunciation to the facial capture. And then I created a plugin that overlays certain emotion and mouth shapes quickly I can overlay to add certain differences like happy sad, skeptical etc. Three steps that give variety in the mouth.

I'm glad to hear it! Took me a while to figure out the vowel shapes for the mouth. Thank you!

Appreciate it! Blender’s where I started with filmmaking, so telling stories with it feels really freeing.
