The Pale Briar | Deepwoken Animation

(Description) Staff of a Cardinal of the Starkindred Church, said to be coated in Celestial Ichor to grant it the investment of the Stars. This particular iteration fell into the hands of the Maestro during his training with the Legions in an excursion against the Starkindred Church. The Starkindred Church was discovered by the 11th Legion because of the countless disappearances in the region, prompting the local Legions to plan and launch an attack. The raid lasted two hours, from the unprecedented scale of the church and the Starkindreds preparation prior to location being revealed. In the aftermath, nearly the entire cult were decimated with barely any Legion losses, with reports of the horrid actions that were conducted by the Starkindreds being unraveled. Out of the 240 civilians abducted and tortured by the cult, only 12 were saved to tell what had happened. ~~Thanks to these guys, cool contributors!~~ Vow of the Sea - Inspiration and stuff - [https://www.roblox.com/games/41110235...] Witherald & Gorpy Rig Face Pack - Extra assets like the faces Naktigonis - Music dagreetpapirus - Music Remixing - [   / @srvtmusic  ] NeedAHugManVA - Voice acting - [https://x.com/NeedAHugManVA] DafNuk - Voice acting - [https://x.com/DafNuk] orvengore - Voice acting - [   / @orvengore  ] [https://x.com/orvengore] Escapism - Voice acting CuzImShark - Voice acting AccursedAlfie - Starkindred weapons - [Portfolio   / discord  ] The Lore Ranters - Consulting about lore and gameplay mechanics ~~If you're not here, pls DM me.~~ (Technical stuff & Misc) It took about 3 months to animate and edit the video (Including the procastination). It took like 4-6 weeks to animate and edit it total. The animation itself could've been cooler, with having more attention to detail, but due to limitations such as lag and the possibility of MA2 crashing when reaching its limit. The lag became so unbearable in the middle of the animation that the resolution decreased about half-way into it. Same goes for Davinci, adding too much audio crashes davinci because of the slightest inconvenience (Changing the volumn by 0.1 crashes it). First time using voice actors as well, still gaining confidence on doing it more. My way on arranging the music kind of fonky at the moment, and I'm aware of all the issues that were still in the animation and editing. Despite it all, it came through, so yipee.
