Dirk Sword Swing

Why can't flash be pencil tests dang it!

Dirk is property of Bluth Studios (from Dragon's Lair).

We were given six poses of Dirk pulling out his sword and taking a swing. We needed to animate 6 feet of footage.
To break down the math for those unfamiliar with feet in terms of animtion:

1 foot =16 frames
6 feet= 96 frames = 48 drawings (on 2s)

If you pay real close attention, you can spot the frames that aren't mine because my initials in the top left corner disappear on those frames.

Gary Goldman particularly liked the pull back/anticipation before the swing.

***
Don't know why, but it seems to stick near the beginning (at least on the browser I'm on) once it cycles the animation and that isn't the case in the flash file I imported (an re-imported). Hopefully the "stick" isn't happening for everyone.
