So after finally watching the fight webinar brought by animation mentor, that was previously delayed because they had technical issues and had to replay it on a different day i was working. I watched it recently after its been cut up and edited and released on their website (still got lots of good stuff though).
So over all i think it was really good, although it was a little bit different from what i expected, i was expecting it more to be about one set action sequence and him talking you through all the major keys and breakdowns the the animation. Instead it was a good range of technical tips and tricks like how a character should hold a weapon and just how people and creatures throw around their body when fighting.
Found it very interesting that he said about the differences of how people and creatures fight. creatures are born with fight or flight and know exactly how pretty much from birth, but humans have to learn (from martial arts) and many martial arts are based on animal movements. But i find that very interesting and it gives me more of an idea of what i want to do, perhaps to steer away from the amazing Martial artist and go more towards some one who can't fight but pushed into a corner where he has to...but still badly. All just ideas for now, but certainly going to start drawing poses out for a possible show reel piece.
The animal fights also look very very cool. But I think i'l give that more of a go after iv done the creature animation with AM.
