Find a better inspiration. Those fuckers at Sucker Punch still didn't make an Infamous remastered, so I'll do it myself. Its been almost 20 years now SP, finish Ghost and remaster Infamous 1.

Quickest way is to open your software, start animating, and figure it out along the way

Years of experience. While the direction is not the best, and they tend to be quite over acted and busy, they are top tier from a purely animation skill standpoint, and not something that many can do well. If I were to put it in simple terms, the animations in ZZZ feel like they're flexing with their animation skill, more than trying to create a good overall end result.

same way as you do any animation

You mean like shit? Just open Blender and fuck around with keyframes until you get it.

Yeah ZZZ animation work is equivalent to the 2D age of Disney, where multiple key animators would add ridiculous flourishes just because it was impressive to other animators.
I may not be a big fan of this type of game, but I am so impressed by ZZZ that I can often overlook that. They also just have great male characters, which feels so rare now.

Less is more. All those spastic gestures are like the visual equivalent of somebody describing a scene by packing every word he can find in a thesaurus.

Motion capture combined with a ton of spline ik to exaggerate stretching and bending.

this is only good animation if you're autistic

When you get as good as this you pretty much have a secured job.

Hard work can carry you so far, you'll eventually came across someone able to destroy you without even trying.

This is not motion capture, it's very clearly manually keyed pose to pose.

Style wise this is western animation. This is literally Asians imitating western exaggerated pose to pose animation.

just dont be lazy and animate all the extra parts and little movements. when it looks "good enough" youre halfway done. literally spend as much time going over it as you did getting it started. then sleep. then go over it again.

its motion capture, the most they done it is change and adjust some thing

mocap is useless in stylized animation, it's way easier to keyframe it than to cleanup and tweak mocap for exaggerated cartoon poses. only way mocap is used for these might be for a timing / anatomy reference but a good animator doesn't even need that

hence the wave to bland "realistic enough" games polluting the market all using cheap mocap.
