Scenes (LOTR Series) Drums in the Deep [Scene Part 1]

*This is intended for viewing on Desktop, as the camera is animated and I haven't sorted it for VR yet, also try not to pan the view before it fully loads or things may not line up. Requires 1.22*



I present my first fully animated scene, intended as a relaxed sit back and watch story. A teaser to set up things to come.
*Audio is required as the intro is voiced. The text is timed to the voice and animation*



Thank you to @pogdaddy for the beacon of inspiration on this one, as it forms part of the LOTR Compendium.

I made the original character of Rhea Ghâshara, with custom face paint, stained fingers and a back tattoo/brand textures. Plus the satchel, drum, flower and Moria scenery CUA's.



My own script for the story. The audio intro and whisper are all AI enhanced tts which I made with tortoise-tts.


Part two is in the works, I think Lord of the Rings fans can guess what's coming.
