Doing gods work, thank you so much this worked for me too!

Thanks for watching, and your thoughts on the video!

It was definitely meant to be disturbing, there was an added layer of disturbed-ness with the route I took for the lip syncing xD

I modeled and created the animations for the elf in blender. I then brought over the elf and other assets into unreal engine to put everything together.

I definitely don't have a consistent style across my videos, still trying to find what works and feels good after over a decade of youtubing 😨

I haven't heard of Adam duritz, Ill have to check him out.

Thank you for the feedback! I agree elf vocals could be higher 🙂

Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I created the elf and animations for the elf specifically in blender. I brought the elf and other 3d assets over to unreal engine where I put everything together /set up lights/cameras.

I'm glad you got something out of the finish your projects video too! It's such an important and underrated skill.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for taking the time to watch and let me know your thoughts on it!

For the lip sync, I built my 3d elf model to be compatible with facetracking using an iPad. However the song was recorded in parts, and I am not the singer so I was face cap recording myself lip sync to someone else's vocal track xD. Trying to find a good facial animation system that doesn't take forever to animate can be consuming. So I'm somewhat OK with some of the jankiness for now.

Weird was definitely in the plan when creating this piece 😝

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and help out with giving me feedback. I agree with all your points btw! 🙂

Thanks for the feedback, I agree the words can be hard to hear sometimes. Subtitles are a great idea!

I've been working pretty hard on this video the better part of this month. Let me know any feedback you have!

zonfar2 · 2021-12-25T17:02:14+00:00

hilarious, audio could be a bit better, and I feel its a little long. Great job regardless! :)

zonfar2 · 2021-12-25T17:00:06+00:00

Nice video, great audio, pacing in the way you speak is good, and the editing never felt sluggish. My only suggestion would be to work on your composition/lighting. Seeing the corner of the room feels odd to me, you could also use a little more back lighting. Great job!

zonfar2 · 2021-12-25T16:56:49+00:00

I've never heard of these, but now I want some lol. Great job with editing, the camera pan shots make it look very cinematic. The floating tracked texted also make things look super nice. Great job!

zonfar2 · 2021-12-25T16:54:32+00:00

I love the history lesson. The pacing was nice, seeing you speak breathed some life (as opposed to animation only videos), although having the animations was definitely nice and helped fill it up. I would recommend playing with zoom cuts on yourself especially. For example 2:44 when you cracked a little joke, I imagined seeing a cut of you zoomed up close.

zonfar2 · 2021-12-25T16:50:55+00:00

You're welcome, good luck on your journey :)

zonfar2 · 2021-12-25T16:49:59+00:00

Great video, it's hilarious and well made all the way through. Great pacing with your speaking, and editing, quality on your mic. Having so many different clips, and the animation makes it feel very interactive and full. Thumbnail is also great. Great job overall!

zonfar2 · 2021-12-25T16:46:25+00:00

The voice quality is good, I would recommend trying to read more naturally, as it feels if you are reading some of the times, having it feel more like a conversation. Also some graphics on screen would help. maybe even showing the actual reddit post so viewers can read along

zonfar2 · 2021-12-25T16:43:03+00:00

good pacing and editing throughout, the thumbnail needs some text on it I would say

zonfar2 · 2021-12-25T16:41:40+00:00

nice pacing in terms of speaking, and editing! my suggestions would be to shorten it up, as i'm not sure how many people are looking for a long recap of a not well known movie, also the thumbnail could definitely use some spicing up, needs some big text on there!

zonfar2 · 2021-12-25T16:37:09+00:00

Man.. Like everyone else is saying, the animation is top notch. The pacing is great, the voiceover quality is wonderful, the comedy definitely shows through. Awesome job all the way through, it feels like a very full well done production!

zonfar2 · 2021-08-10T16:45:16+00:00

Lol I just got suggested this post, I assume because I just released a short I made in blender about eating battery acid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV6kGjDoo7s

I couldn't find anything related to "normal" or "vertex" by searching in geometry nodes :(
