Go beyond the Ghetto, go deep into the old city where the cameras have been removed, if you dare.

In the future the population seek protection with the city walls of the New London. Just outside those walls the level 4 citizens create ghettos and eek out a living feeding off the scraps of those inside.

The remains of "Greater London" are not policed or catered for. It's a wild west suitable for unscrupulous gangs. Our hero wishes to take a journey to one such conurbation, known in our time as Dagenham.

He gets a welcome which will set him on a brand new path of self confidence ....

Just to add a thought to my DAZ comments ... the character animation @ 1:26 - 1:28 is very convincing. The two characters in the following several seconds not as much. No big deal as I realize they are background characters, but it does emphasize how good the first one is. And the overall character animation.

Agreed. Choreographing a fight scene is really demanding (co-ordination of the characters and the accuracy of the hits etc). So it's a question of "where do I make the time sacrifices?" given that you never get enough time to do it how you really want to. I put most effort into the Taxi Boss and just making sure the fighting lines up (hit/fall hit/fall).

Yes, it comes across as very convincing. The kind of smoothness there's never time for in the 48 Hour contests. In truth, I more often than not just live with whatever mocaps I have B-]

"whatever mocaps I have". Yes me too, but I'm sure we agree they are start-points. Also the NLA sequencer can be good for combining actions with certain muscles turned off. :)

I think you're ahead of me here, I'm not sure about the muscles. I have used Poser format mocaps for a long time (Eclipse Studio, PoserMocap), in many cases with little or no adjustments. B-{ I have more recently been using the NLA with clips from imported Animate files, and yes, lots of flexibility. I also have some M4 Muscle Morphs which I've been trying to find a use for ... I really do like to avoid dialogue, and one way is to have the actors use expressions and body language.

Yes lipsync is a pain in the wrong end, I use camera movements to disguise, and/or show the listeners expression to avoid now and again. re: Turning things off I mean on an NLA track you can select which body parts it will affect. Put track 1 minus the arms and track 2 only the arms and you can combine for example.
