I'm planning to make a medieval brickfilm and for that I need to make some realistic arrows flying and hitting things.
The more arrows in one shot, the better, as it were.
Does somebody has a convincing looking technique to do that in (post-)production?
I prefere to do it in production, but I have no idea how to do this.
Thanks you in advance!

CGI might work.
I'll model an arrow in Blender 3D, and I'll post a picture of it here.
Or you could make LEGO or stick arrows and mask them. But that would take forever.
Here are my CGI arrows.
With Motion blur
Without motion blur
Making them was quite simple:
I used the LDraw import script to bring the bow and arrow into Blender, then I removed the actual bow.
Next, I separated the the parts of the arrow,(Head, Shaft and Feathers) and textured them individually.
From there, I made a simple animation of the arrow flying, added a motion blur with eight samples and rendered them out.
I've cut the strings off my crossbow so that I can animate them as well, if you have that done and a even 'semi' realistic arrow it'd be awesome
