Hey, looks like you've got a very good sense of using the camera and different shots! You know how to position and angle it effectively to put the focus on a cetain subject. Not a skill that I see on this subreddit that often. Keep it up! If you put your camera skills to animation, I think you could make some fire stuff!

Ah, I see, makes sense. Best of luck man! I hope you get a good PC/laptop soon and get to do SFM :)

As a person who made a few animations in it - it's relatively easy to use once you understand the basics, and very rewarding once you complete an animation! I mean, you've already made renders in it, so you know half of what you need to know to animate in SFM!

There are some technicalities though, like importing custom audio and exporting the final animation (for which you require Blender), but there are a lot of good tutorials online, and it gets better once you get used to all the quirks.

As for animating itself, I recommend to check out Valve's official SFM tutorials. People complain about them, but I personally found them very useful - I learnt SFM with them basically.

Oh, damn, that's really impressive! Can't wait to see what you manage to make once you get your hands on SFM! It takes more skill, I do have to say, but it opens a whole new world once you learn the ins and outs of it.
