THE FREAK - Minecraft Animation

Song is Friday Night by Vigiland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGf6QFB_rEI I found this song randomly a while back and thought the dance from the music video was kinda cool, so I made an animation out of it. Thought it'd be fitting for a stray to be the dancer. I started making this about 2 years ago but stopped part way through for like a year. Finally went through with it. Thanks for watching. The most time consuming part of the animation was trying to replicate the dance. It turns out that animating someone dancing is pretty hard, and it's kinda the reason I gave up on it for a year. Did my best with the cloth physics, but there are still some issues with it here and there; overall I think it's good. I realized that after "have a seat," I needed to change my approach on lighting, so I went all out this time. I put more time into lighting than I usually do, thinking about how I can make the character pop from the background, more depth, etc. I considered youtube's compression as well, so whenever I thought a light source was "bright enough," I'd make it twice as bright. If I thought there was enough color, I'd add more anyway. I decided that I'd rather overcorrect than undercorrect. Thanks for reading this far, and for not unsubbing after a year of not uploading anything.
