Hey Olivier, This is awesome, I run sketchoholic.com and Sketchozine.com. We want to nominate you as a feature in our upcoming book. ANIMATION STORIES, we only have 2 stop motion films and this one is definitely a "cool" addition. Take a look at sketchoholic.com/flipbook/animationstories and see over 100 films we've gathered from around the world. I'll try to catch you on facebook, or find me at Facebook.com/Marcin.Migdal.

Talk to you soon.

Using reference material from fight scenes in movies is a very useful way to study and achieve great motion with stop motion techniques, it teaches timing and composition too. Loved this short. Spotted the choreography from "Phantom Menace" as the fight opened, wonder what else was carefully incorporated :) Great Work.
chris drew 4 months ago

:51-:56 is part of the fight scene between Jubei and the Blind swordsman in Ninja Scroll. There is a lot of choreography in here that is very familiar. Nonetheless. Kudos to the creator for making it work and stringing it all together.

But I'm curious to see what you can come up with next ;)

Kim Jonni Rosseland 4 months ago

Nice work, but i dislike the fact that she cheated... There is no honour in that, and in a duel with katana, they must indeed both fight with katana... Its only a coward who cheat because she know she cant win in any other way.. so fukk that wannabe ninja girl... huff.. but good work anyway..

You're confusing ninjas with samurais. Samurais fight with honor, ninjas will do anything, dirty tricks included, to get the job done.
