Description This is the most complex scene in my novel trailer. Two characters fighting... a shield fx, a sword crackling fx, the building getting sliced off fx, sword energy slice fx, bullets hitting the building fx, smoke fx, teleporting fx, animated bg layer.... godddamn I am sooooo sick of working on this scene *cry*

And of course the camera moves and other blending layers. I think I've got most of the camera moves figured out.... FINALLY. Argghh spend like 8 hours working on painting that stupid background... haaaaaaaate drawing architecture D= straight lines crushes my soul.

This is the lead female character, Lina, from my sci-fi/fantasy novel btw. If she looks familiar, there's a reason for that xP.

Trailer WIP can be found here [link]

Oh boy, i do machinima movies as a hobby, and those are timeconsuming enough to make. But this? I'd give you a cookie if a could. Actually, i'd give you a jar of cookies.

Great stuff.

btw: you animated the eyes opening in the beginning very well.
