Topic: Ninja/kung-fu "jump-fly-kick-punch-takedown thingy"

I am working on a little short video on the side of my main brickfilm project. It has ninjas. mini/smile

Here Is a gif of a shot I was working on:

I really want it to look good, so I may reshoot, what do you think? good enough?
If you want I can post a slowed down version of the shot.

no more brickfilming *sad face*.

It's hard to tell in that .gif, but I think it looks pretty good, if anything the downward action after they make contact for a second time might be a little slow; I like the lanterns moving in the background. mini/smile

I agree with backyard legos on this shot.

As for the takedownthingy itself, I'd say it's excellent! You did bump that crossbow quite a lot between frames though. It's not that distracting, so you should be fine anyway!

Not bad.  The rendering could be redone.

I woud redo It. The motions seem pretty forced. Like after the backflip I don't think he would stop so suddenly. Keep the motion.

I do like it a lot though. The lites moving was a good touch. mini/smile

It looks great. (the lanterns add a nice detail to the animation)

Thanks! I will try that part played back at a higher fps.

Maybe, I was kinda of trying to get that "Ridiculous-kung-fu-mid-air-fighting" look, but you could be right. mini/smile

Well this will not be the actual video quality, the gif just looks REALLY awful....if that's what you meant.
