Nidhogg Dragon Test - Lego Animation

This was mainly just a test that i did with an old model of mine that i got about 2 years ago and recently decided to do a quick test with it to test out the manoeuvrability and joints of it. But as i got into it I made it mainly to test out the new technique of making a realistic dragon flame effect. I took 17 different pictures, drew on a completely new flame each frame too make it look like it flickers and finally put all of the jpegs together to make one section of film on windows movie maker that was equivalent to 20fps film. I have to admit though that some of the animation wasn't completely smooth and the lighting in the animation wasnt too good as i was re-sorting out the lighting and at the start i though it would be just a quick test. The Dragon model is from a Lego Vikings set called Viking Catapault vs Nidhogg Dragon. The whole thing took me about 4 hours in total and for a very small test thats very long. It took me so long because it took ages to draw every single iduvidual frame for the flame effect.
