Swordfight scene

After being sick for 2 weeks, I've finaly worked on the final scenes that still need to be finished. The first scene that I had to work on was the transformation of Bloody Mary's life cycle from kid to barmade. The second scene is a swordfight scene of Bloody Mary with a random pirate. This scene takes place on a big pirateship.

The transformation of Bloody Mary scene is an important one, because we have to show the viewers that the people from the past thought she was a boy.
Details from the maincharacter need to be adjusted carefully. Short hair and clothes that look like a boy are added to the character so that she looks like a boy. We have put a small tail at the back from her head so that the viewers can still see it's a lady.
Thanks to the reference footage I was able to animate the characters without getting weird movements. The reference footage can be used as rigs for our characters. Rigs are like bone structures that can be used to get a precize movement of a character.

The reference files came in really handy for the swordfight scenes of our animation. My task was to animate Bloody Mary having a swordfight with a random enemy pirate. This also needed to be looped so that Raimke can use this animation later on for her vector objects to place them in the right order.

Putting these scenes all together makes the story come to life. I must say I am happy with the result of how it looks so far. Minor details are still being added so stay tuned for more!
