Important Note: I did make a few more changes once I finished this tutorial, including adding, weight painting and texturing the face mask, moving the bones related to the bag to a separate bone layer and exporting the BC and ORM texture for the face and replacing it in the shading tab.

Also please remember if you are rendering an animation please render as an image sequence for the following reasons:
1. It is less of a hassle if you want to "pause" rendering, or your PC crashes if you crash or hang during the render, you'll keep the images you already rendered.
2. You can create transparency in png renders.
3. Video files are either lossy or huge and if you do editing, pngs are lossless.
