Daz Studio Pro and Adobe Premier Pro. A Perfect Marriage?

I worked on it for eight months and now finally it's complete. Mission Accomplished! My first animation short. I basically used Daz Studio to set up and render all my scenes, then I transferred them over to Adobe Premier Pro where I put it all together. The results are amazing. I couldn't be more satisfied. Tell me what you guys think.

Wow, that's good! The story is good, although I'm not sure I understood the reason for the triple overlap between the scenes :-( . The facial animations are truly good as well. The only thing is perhaps finger posing in some scenes looks a little rigid, and adding shadows but it's the sad truth that shadows slow down animation rendering so much.

Wow that was alot of very good animation that blended together well.. great work. The story telling, especially the camera movement and cuts were very creative esp. for the chess match scenes. Not sure if you want suggestions... but for me I would move the first scene to the end and start with him meeting the creature and playing chess and then end with the mystical sky changing scene like he somehow acquired those powers.

the finger posing was indeed long and stressing at times. I think towards the end i was less concerned. and shadowing yea, that would've given my laptop a beating lol.

thanks for the suggestion although i think that way would've told a different story. the idea was to distract him from knowing who he really is and his capability.
