The Surprise Attack (A Short Animation Demo)

This is sort of my "term paper" for some of the basics I have learned in animation.

It's my "thank you" and Christmas gift to the world.

A Hind! Awesome! Love the sound effects to go with the animation, especially the tail rotor. Sounded like in Transformers when Blackout started his up. Great job. Considering how big that chopper is and it's an attack chopper at that, it really would make a great transformer. I plan on doing a Comanche because of its' cool stealthy looks.

@Gr1mmReap3rT2 Actually the audio is clipped from a very short segment where Blackout is joining the battle in the city street. So.. I can't take credit for the audio sadly. :P But yeah, we always thought a Hind would make a great transformer. Good luck on the Comanche. :)

@CGIPadawan Thanks. I'd also like to mention I like the sense of weight when it lands, and it's seemingly similiar design to say, a T-Rex or something, just noticed the tail rotor was actually, "his tail" lol.

[CGIPadawan]

@Gr1mmReap3rT2 Yes, I was really thinking about it. Context. "How do I let people know that this is bad news for the guy on the roof?" So I went with a "monster" type of look. Single Red Eye, the "wings", the tail, and the Dinosaur Style Legs, the clawed hands. The peacock tail main rotor was also something that took quite some time to design. But I think it looks pretty unique.

@CGIPadawan It's definitely unique and that's what I like about it. I like any artist that strives to make something unique rather than following a similiar formula.
