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:
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.
Comment from Gary: "Perhaps because I'm looking at the sheath because you needed to fix that it didn't move enough... but now it seems to move a little too much. It reminds me of something that Frank (Thomas) said to me when he handed me a scene from Robin Hood where Robin was in disguise and had a flower in his hat. Frank wanted me to animate the flower onto the character, but warned me 'You better NOT upstage my character."
Just had to share that quote.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P

Everyone on class made comments on how either he is holding the sword wrong or that he swings it oddly.
I actually went and changed one of the poses we were given because his hands were swapped on the sword (oops!).
