Topic: Lightsabers and Matrix moves Test

I've been working on this for a while and I finally just finished filming everything last night.
This was just a compilation of tests I did to help me remember how to do lightsaber fights (it's been awhile) and also so I could animate loads of my favorite moves from the matrix. This was just to prepare me for making something epic like an entry for fancypants's challenge, but I'm not sure if I'll have time because I haven't heard back from T.G. yet. We'll see! mini/smile
Hope you all like this.

Re: Lightsabers and Matrix moves Test

It seems Fine in Stopmotion, Actually Great.

Spoiler (click to read)

There were some points, Were i thought 'Ouch.. Masking', And i do think, that (YouTube -1.13-1.15)
Was only Decent Masked, When you compare it to some of your other Animations.
Also at (YouTube -0.42 - 0.44) You'll see masking.

Again, The Stopmotion was Great, Also the 'Shakey' Camera effect.

Pretty awesome Filmyguy.  Definitely superb animation.  The masking was somewhat "iffy" at times, if you know what I mean.  But anyway, nice job on the lightsaber fights.

Awesome animation, as always. mini/smile Some of the effects seemed strange though. (Like when that guy jumped and started floating in the air.)
Good job.

You mean the clip of the guy flipping on to the wall and then flying away? That's actually from the 3rd Matrix. mini/wink
Also I admit the masking was terrible, but I didn't have time to polish each frame because I just wanted to show the animation.
I would do my absolute best to keep each frame as clean as possible if I were to do it in an actually movie.

Thanks, guys. mini/smile

Re: Lightsabers and Matrix moves Test

Very nicely animated!

Another thing flaw that I noticed (boy are we nitpicky) was the de-activating of the lightsaber (first time), part of the handle disappeared.

^^ Oh. mini/lol What I meant was that the effect of that looked strange. It looked like bad greenscreening. mini/tongue

But the lightsaber was in front of that part, so rubbing out the lightsaber would result in rubbing out the bit ofthe handle, so he had to

Ooh, that shot. (I thought you meant a different shot) Yeah, now that shot I must admit was a piece of crap, I put that in there because I needed to fill in space. I would have redid it but I had already redone it three times. mini/tongue

Re: Lightsabers and Matrix moves Test

Nice one! mini/bigsmile Great one, actually.
There were some masking shots and angles I thought sort of looked odd, but, other than that, animation-wise, Flawless! mini/bigsmile

PS: If you'd like, I can animate lightsabers for you (Or anyone, for that matter) in AE, if you'd like. I saw you may be interested in joining FancyPants' contest, so, animated lightsabers may look better. Just an offer. mini/wink

Persist.

Actually no. He could have taken a shot without the saber, and put that at the end.
