How I make my Viewmodel Animations | A Walkthrough

Listen to me grumble for almost 2 hours.
I ended up cutting away 2 hours of things I thought were unnecessary to show. Stuff like changing very minor details or adding very minor things to the animation. Towards the end I've cut more because that's mostly what I'm doing then. Hopefully you can learn something from this! Timestamps and download below.
