Sword Attack

It's been a while since I post here, anyway here's what keeping me busy this past few months.. I learned so much doing this exercise about body mechanics, thanks to my former colleague and senior/mentor.. http://angelostacatalina.com/ :)

Ok here's my video reference for the butterfly flip, I got this from Ninja Assassin's practice session in youtube..

and here's my first blocking pass..

here's the splined version.. sorry I skip posting my other video reference for the big guy and the stab of the girl.. hehe.. beacause I shoot it my self and I'm a little bit shy to show it to others.. hehe XD

I added a background(from 3D lighting challenge site, Modeled by Juan Carlos Silva)

and I tweak some of the timing and spacing..

and Finally here's the rendered version, but occlusion only.. hehe xD

Ok here's what I'm doing for the past few months.. I'm still on blocking.. and I'm looking for some comments and critics to improve this  more... after that I can move on to the second pass blocking...hopefully.. hehehe xD

the camera is not final yet, I'm adding some camera shake after.. and I want it to look like a hand held camera..

Here's an another update.. after putting the breakdowns, I continue all the way to splinning, because I already end up keying almost every frame, hehe..

Here's the rendered version.. my modeling and after effects skills were put to test again, ahaha.. I created a set to add to the look, and some blood FX to make it more cool...I guess.. hehe xD

btw, I'm getting more feedback with my friends here, but it was after I polished and rendered this.. ahahaha! XD but still thanks to them anyway.. hehe..

and all their comments & critics were right and it make all sense, I think there would be a huge improvement if I fix it.. so stay tuned.. hehe :D
