haha that’s valid and I can sympathise!
This was over 4 years ago now but I remember trying to get a stun animation going during the jam because it wasn’t super obvious when you were getting hit, so I imported a wince animation from Mixamo. Camera was attached to the head bone during root motion animations so unfortunately I didn’t have a ton of control over the camera (which in hindsight was silly, i should’ve just done some screen shake and called it a day).
It was a good learning experience though!
