This is straight up like a mini class more than just a regular workflow breakdown lol, great job

Yep, Link is teaching me how to fight. :)

The slide hop is really satisfying

Bravo in this breakdown. Reminds me of class a few years back. You’ve earned a new sub! :)

Thanks for posting this breakdown, really interesting and informative! Also, really cool animation!

As an aspiring animator, thank you for sharing your breakdown and insight. I look forward to your next work!

Good fight scene for Zelda movie!

Loved the video: short, informative, and to the point. Great job. I subscribed!

Your anims are great, I'd love to see some longer breakdowns

found you page from twitter and WOW your break downs and animation videos are really nice to have! hope to see more for you :D

Great animation and really cool breakdown!

Mmm, this is so tasty and satisfying to watch (and super digestible)

So beautiful

Awesome breakdown 👏🏽

Great breakdown video, thanks for sharing!

you had my curiosity but now you have my full attention

Amazing breakdown, thank you very much, short but insightful, really, thanks

This is awesome. I need to try one time :D

This is really helpful !

We need more. Please upload as soon as possible

thanks for breaking down the workflow. I'm gonna stick to key simple poses and make a drawing sword animation for link. Very new to this but so many helpful resources out there like this one! Cheers!

Thx you so much. It's Clear AND Dense AND Short. You are a Beast !! ^^

I’m convinced your working on the game-

The Attack Animation is 👏👍

We need more breakdown like this... OwO

look i dont know anything about this but it just popped up in my recommended so like cool (and the animations are cool)

amazing !!!! ¡¡¡¡¡ asombroso !!!!

So interesting

Gesture is a confusing but essential concept to both drawing and animation, but this video strengths my intuition that it's easier to understand it it terms of motion than a still image, which gives the advantage to animators when it comes to teaching it. When someone says gesture is the "rhythm" of a pose, it's difficult to understand what they're talking about or what a bunch of wavy lines superimposed onto a figure is supposed to refer to. The single best explanation for what gesture is I've heard so far is, "the bare minimum notation for a figure" coupled with the analogy of motion capture technology used for special effects in movies. And even that still leaves much to be desired. I recommend watching the special features on movies like Alita Battle Angel because, going with the analogy, it also demonstrates how the same principle is applied to a character's facial expressions and shows that rhythm exists in forms of every scale: arms and legs have their own rhythms that act like lines of action: the arms have an upward curving rhythm inherent to their structure, while the legs form an s curve. I'm no expert or anything -- this is just what I've learned as an amateur.

Found a gem in the rough!

Please more!!!!

It's cool.

great

Nice Breakdown. Learned so much.

Everytime I perform an action now, I'll be thinking of "anticipation", "swing", "hit", and "settle"

Aah very informative! Well explained as an animator I want to be like you! I want to be a game animator and plan to make a new reel for game animation. It’s another level! Heads off your work. Whomever disliked this they are just envious Mocap animators lol

10/10

Nice! I would inquire how you did the smear frames, but I am sure there are a plethora of techniques I can utilize.

Thanks for the breakdown, Adam! Could I ask how it is you did this, exactly? Like whether you rendered or playblasted the animation and how you comped it into this format for presentation.

excellent breakdown! i wonder, do you accept commissions?

Amazing work! How do you create the smear effect on the sword?

Please tell me how to use the sword locus effect like a video

It's very cool. Can you tell, please, what program was used for animation?

Quick question; where would your key poses be? And how do you see the shape of your character if you have to view it at all angles? Is it also better to animate the face while working on body mechanics or better separate in your experience? Lastly, when animating this, is it better to have IK or FK limbs for the hand with the sword?

hi, how does the effect on the weapon is done?

Is this series(maybe not really a series supposed to be for a game ur making or what is it for?

*thrust*

It's finally The Legend of Zelda

Botw2 should have animations like this

Great animation, but I feel like it's too different to the way link is animated in BOTW. If this is how zelda ends up being animated then it would also link to have a drastic change in animation as well. But it's stil great. Keep up the good work.

How do you do the ends with the little bounce to make it look real? Is that a hook tween or something?

What program is used to make this?

How do you polish something like this? My graph editor looks like a bowl of spaghettis

Is that the Master Sword she’s wielding? How??

Looks great but… her neck!

Why she has my master sword D:
