For this animation I used video reference of a martial artist performing an advanced maneuver. I used the props on the model to add an interesting element.
This project is a quick animation that showcases my favorite type of animation. I am a combat animator at heart, and I love the direction I went for this project. The character I chose to animate for this project was was very versatile, and I could come up with many different combat motions.
The reference I used for this project became a technique I use in my creative process constantly. I viewed footage of martial artists effectively performing the acrobatic maneuvers realistically portray the animation.
