Mavericks Ep. 5 - Kuwanger (Mega Man X Fan-Film) // made in Blender

Okay, this is it!!! MAVERICKS - Episode 5.
My 5th short film from my fan-series. A fictional story about what happened to Boomer Kuwanger after being defeated by X.

"Mavericks" is my own fictional series about the events after Mega Man X.
It basically asks the question: What if all the Maverick Bosses survived? Showing their side of the events.
----------------------
This was my biggest project yet:
- 9 months of work
- almost 5 minutes long
- 15 characters
- a one minute long fight scene
- all in ONE take

What I learned making this film:
- planning ahead (still struggling)
- humanoid animations (darn walk cycles!!!)
- using physics for shattering glass, sparks & debris
- dealing with fog (still tricky and noisy)
- using linked characters
- rigging and animating faces
- texturing efficiently
- timing your scenes
- lighting
- better file management
