Have you guys seen "Micwizard"? If not, you should check it out! For this excercise I want you all to animate a wizard or a magician playing around with some magic. Doesnt have to be a "Special effect explosion" like Miccool did. Maybe some cardtricks, element bending, you name it! Practicly be anything you can imagine :3

My attempt http://www.fileize.com/view/0ac94b05-9b0/
Aimed for a very miccool-ish style

Yup, I see "Miccool" witten all over your parts guys, lets see if I can pull it off without it being so "miccoolish".
Really liked both your parts, oxob and dabig, great job :D!

@Pox, short, but you're improving, it feels like you're trying to copy my mid-air spins? if so, then let me tell you that you'll have to ease a lot more if you want to achieve that, but keep practicing, I have a feeling you'll get there :]
Oh, and work on your particles a bit more, the direction they take is a bit off, apply more physics to them, if you get what I mean, they also disappear too fast, for the black ones, add more frames, let people see how it fades away, its exhausting, but it looks great once you're done.

@LF|L0, funny, but the movements were really, really stiff, try exaggerating a bit more, and by this, I mean, exaggerate your anticipation and follow-through more, bend the body and other limbs and explore the changes. Right now, I see stiffness as your biggest problem, good luck overcoming it!


I'll be finishing my part tomorrow :]

Thanks, I'm trying to mimic that spin thing, I'll add more frames to future animations.
