Well, it just occured to me that the only kind of Anime video that i've not done is the fight scene type. The action flick type of video that made Killer Bean popular and Kung fu Panda what it is. Everyone today wants to have very nice fight scenes in their movies and animations and as for the games, what is a combat type of game without a decent fight scene. Though i am not party to violence and this is not what this is about but i really love fight scenes talking entertainment wise. And its one of the most difficult things to animate in the world of animations especially if no MOCAP is not involved.
Why is that you may ask? Well i'll tell you. After putting all the principles of animation in your head, you still have to know some certain other things that are not directly animation related. Things like fighting for instance. Animators try to simulate real life actions while animating by acting what ever they have in there head out. This way they get a clearer picture of what to do and how to go about it. Other animators shoot a video of these ideas and analyse these videos then animate. But that is half of the problem. The real problem is knowing "how to". Everybody know how to walk and run. Well, almost everybody and you see animators mimicking many other stuffs including creatures and monsters but when it comes to fighting scenes, the skillset seem not to flourish that much. And this is not because the animators dont know how to animate but because these are very special type of animations requiring special skill to pull off. It's like this, you see high profile martial artistes like Bruce Lee, Jet lee, Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen or MJW etc in films doing their thing and everything is so easy and beautiful the way they do it and you'll again agree with me that very few actors or Martial Artistes on Tv are on that level. You can tell the difference just by seeing them perform on the screen. Yeah, the idea is if it's that hard for an animator to pull off then animating it would be another hell in itself. It's possible to pull it off but would be very difficult if not impossible except ofcourse with the aid of someone else that knows "the how to" or with the use of MOCAP and nobody will kill you if you choose the later because it really is very difficult to pull off.
Anyways, if you thinking in this direction then these are the things to consider. Ok, so i hope to give it a shot before the year runs out but before then, i would be doing a dance anime since i'm hungry for it. Alright that's it for now and i'll see you guys some other time.
