Well I hope this helps .....
● RECAP - What I "noticed" in the opener was:
□ The scene snippets when edited together result (naturally), in changes to the background music. Whilst a tad jarring, I realize that it's *major* to isolate just dialogue & FX and then score the music specifically for your recap (lot of work).
□ I *love* your lighting - I think you've got a great eye for it ....
□ Internal glow inside (some) 'mouths' - that's an iClone issue I've seen a lot - so I don't know how you'd conquer that one TBH.
● EPISODE -
□ Great opening scene - (Alps & Castle) - the 'music' creates truly great anticipation ....
□ Selandra suffers from a tad of foot slide (I don't think any iclone user can avoid this without major effort - it's as though every user has to teach iClone characters how to 'walk' - all over again. - (my 'commiserations' with this one).
□ Did you use any mocap gear? - just that I noticed additional 'jitter' on Selanda's medium shots ...
□ I have to say it again - your sound track - and 'music' is terrific - it *really* sets the feel.
□ Like your areal establishing shots on new scenes!
□ Very *expressive* Leandro with his arms, as he speaks with Selandra. Great! - I and like your shallow DOF on the closer shots!
□ OK - not sure how close to *real* you were attempting with water surface - some of the more solid opaque (deep blue) shots lacked believability - but others looked *good* - and the 'underwater' shots I thought were believable enough ...
□ So many great scenes - they all move along well, each with their own amazing atmosphere ...
□ I really liked your scene with Lyssa & Tallorn - ("Generations have trod") - you portrayed this SO well - it's a beautiful moment - another dimension - and the gliding camera-shots work so well ...
□ Loved your underground tunnel shots (Lyssa & Tallorn) - the sound fx are perfect - and the dialogue - the meaning ...
□ 22:30 through to 23:50 - another amazing sequence - whoahh - rescued! - Such relief! - like completing an iClone project ! - lol 
The sound track has so many elements all working well together .... □ I'm sure you know about the white eyelashes at 25:23 and co-pilot's vocal perspective change at 25:30
□ This production works on so many levels and with nice looking characters, quite good facial expressions, believable enough general animation, engaging story and superb sound track. TBH, if I were to score the *Story AND the *Sound track at 10 out of 10 each, then using that reference I'd score the animation at around 6 to 7 - BUT not based soley on the 'animation skills'. I think that iClone itself has a way to go yet, - iClone (I think) is currently not even able to yield a 10 (maybe 8). I feel there's features that could be included in iClone (like an 'auto foot lock down') - that could add a professional dimension - (I can't for the life of me understand why there couldn't / hasn't been a solution to this). - Anyway, taking this into account and 'adjusting the score' accordingly, would mean about 8 out of 10 for the animation.This is only my opinion - and others may rightfully disagree - but anyway - so be it .......
You should be very pleased with what you've created here !!!
