I have overestimated my ability while underestimating the complexity of a computer software, Blender. I thought by now I’d have what I needed for the first scene of Under The Clouds, but after placing a cube to model, soon I realized unlike many other applications, Blender was a beast of its own.
First, I really dropped the ball on my intention to read over your posts and send suggestions, and for that I apologize, but truthfully, I can't say that I think you need my help, your skill is visibly growing. I'm sorry Blender was a setback, but you pushed through it, not much can beat that succeed-through-struggle feeling. You visuals so far are engaging and lovely (aside from the above gray WIPs) so I think your story-convey skill will be there.
There's a movie I think on Netflix called Train to Busan, I haven't even watched the film, but I've seen one sort of psychology analysis of it on YouTube so I got the gist of the plot, and two main ending sequences. Without my actually spending the time to watch the film and getting invested in the characters, they crafted a film that was SO GOOD, I A) cried the first time I watched the final ending sequence, and B) cried just recalling that ending sequence when I watched a shorter, different analysis that only referenced the sequence and didn't even show it. With cross-cultural cues, when a little girl is singing, she's not just singing her sorrow, she sings all the sorrow that came with that song before it came to her.
Keep it in the mind the story you want to give, you can get it there.
