Shadesmar - A Stormlight Archive fan animation

This is another one that was supposed to be more of a short film with multiple shots.

I'm forcing myself to post this one because if I don't, then the work is all going to sit in my drive, collecting dust, until I delete it to free space for another crazy sim project.

[SPOILER SECTION STARTS HERE- IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE SERIES BY BRANDON SANDERSON, DO NOT READ FURTHER]

if you are curious, and read the way of kings, this was supposed to be the Shallan dad reveal scene: I had planned a few short clips, flashing on the screen, intermingled with this zoom in shot of pattern. A shardblade materializing, Shallan falling back in slow motion, a closeup of her eye, her hand grabbing the hilt of the sword as it forms, then cut to an old man's eyes burning, her hand breaking trough the surface of the sea of beads, maybe a scene of her trashing around in the non-water. it just got too complex and I started procrastinating it after this scene was rendered. in the end, I wanted to record a voice line with a fie "hmms" and a "it's time to tell the truth, Shallan", but I couldn't do it in the time frame I gave myself to post it.
