What you can do too, and it's not a shame to do it at all (as every professional animators do so), is always having a tiny mirror on your desk so you can check the expressions from your own face and take them as reference. ;3

Another good combination is using .mov with the h264 codec ;)
Runs like butter! °3°

Graph Ed FTW! \o/
The Motion Ed can be usefull to make a character grabbing something for instance. But I personnaly don't use it for other purposes. Maybe to 'soften' some movements with the 'smooth' option, but that's all.

I'm gonna ask something, with the risk to look totally ridiculous x) But... Can we apply even if we're not familiar with the ME universe?

Yes but... Where can we find this option in SFM? :}

What software do you use to edit your vids?

I think I can (almost at 100%) say the guy changed the skin's material (using a blin or a phong material instead of a lambert) to make it reflects the lights. But how he did that into SFM... heh. No idea. :B Apparently, if you read the comments section, it's possible... just need to find out where you can find this option.

ASZ20's right; exporting as AVI or MOV is heavy. Exporting as mp4 isn't bad for previews, it's light and doesn't look bad. The only cons I've noticed by far is the video's getting darker when uploaded on Youtube. But if it's just for a preview... :°
Anyway, prefer the image sequences when you want a whole finished and polished vid. ;)

I guess it's too late, but I'll try anyway... May I join? :)

woush! Before you watch, guys, please, please! don't take badly the tuning I made of the group logo at the end of the vid. No offence intended! :)
