The Sword Dance (Demo Reel)

The Sword Dance

Short piece I decided to make to put into practise some of the techniques I had been learning about. Layerings, depth of field and camera techniques are all used in this short animated film.

I still wanted something related to my main project which is why the characters are dressed in business wear and are in a city location, more will be revealed later.........

The film shows off my editing style and hopefully the type of composition "The Disciples (The Dark War)" will take. It took around 20 hours to make this 2 minute piece so for my 1 hour, 3 part epic....it's gonna take ages :)

Music used is by "System of a Down" and is called "Question". I did consider calling the film this but "The Sword Dance" worked for me.

A high quality version can be found here:-

On the timeline use the camera switcher. You can setup your cameras and then you just choose the ones you wish to view.

Hi, all the animation was done with iClone 2.5.

Hope that helps you :)

Well like all good things in life you cannot rush them :) 'The Forgotten Children' is about 15 times bigger then this in many ways, and this film took me 20 hours to make! I do hope to have a preview / teaser out for my new film soon.

Now you got me standing in line with popcorn in hand! When's the release date for "The Forgotten Children"?

[capemedia]

Thanks Joseph, its humbling to have such nice comments from such a talented writer/director. This piece was my first iClone attempt, trust me in saying 'The Forgotten Children' will blow this out of the water. Well you wanted IMPACT :)

I see what you mean, Cape! The visuals are stunning; love the shadows on the graffiti and the spreading blood. How long did it take for you to create this? Your next one will have MORE impact? More is what I want! Looking forward to seeing your next offering. Subscribing NOW! ~JosephKw

There will be more coming soon, just a little patience my friend :)

My next short will hopefully have an even bigger impact and yes it will be bloody LOL :D

VEry intriguing!!! I like the sounds and the pool of blood effects. You should do more scenes like these cuz these are great! The music for the scene too was perfect because it showed emotion and it fit with the whole combat thing. Great direction Buddy!!!Wheres my full movie now????LOL Come on where is it????Come on lol
