Reload Animation 3D - Battlefield Inspired - First Animation Attempt

Here is one of my latest projects that iv been working on, specializing on animation!
For my university studies i had to create an animation which would be close to 20 seconds.
I wanted to make an animation focusing on gun reloading and story telling.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- I used blender to make the rigs, weightpaints and animations for each asset. (using one action" to have quicker management when
it comes to switching rigs)
- Adobe Premiere 2025 to edit the video quality (effects and colors)
- Adobe Photoshop 2024 to edit UI's to remind Battlefield V, and external logos
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall rigs :
- Gun (handmade) (Constraints and vertex grouping)
- Arms (handmade) (Shoulder, wrist, fingers IK's)
- Tank (handmade) (Constraints and vertex grouping)
- Airplane (handmade) (2 bones to move)
- Bazooka (handmade) (Vertex grouping)
- Bomb (handmade) (One bone)
- etc
