Naginata Onna SVG

This is my second construction video, where I animate the composition of my SVG (scalable-vector graphic) drawing. This one wields a naginata, a halberd employing a katana-like blade at the business end. The word 'naginata' comes from the verb, 'to mow down.'

As with my other SVG animations, I wrote a custom python script to recompose a SVG file one path at a
time, and move a virtual camera to focus on each path as it does so. My
original artwork was built in Inkscape.

The song is 旅人 (Tabibito/Traveler) by Takasugi Satomi. It sounds like an anime OM, if anyone knows what show used this song, let me know in the comments.

[rhyshale]

Awesome drawing, but the video is quite... uncomfortable... to watch. Maybe a stationary camera might be better? Awesome how you generated it using python though, good work. Hats off to that

[sirnubenegra]

motion sickness. good work though. blwaagrgh!

[DeepvoiceED]

Yes its a neat little video you have made.

[DarkXDragon]

I probably would of really enjoyed that if it didn't zoom in and out and move about so much. It was hard to watch. =/

This is fantastic! Very well done but I got a headache watching it. Please dont zoom so much !
