New assignment : Fighting shot

As we talked in the office, we can do a fight shot if you're up for it.
Guidelines :

- no cut or camera moves
- layout : side shot, no in-depth perspective
- One character strike the other who dodges the attack, the second replies and finish off the first dude the way you want, making it simple if possible.
- simple graphic style with shapes that are easy to draw.

Here are some model sheets for reference, I'll try to simplify them as much as I can :



You can use any other if you feel like it.

Please let me/us know if  this ok.

Frog feedback

Hi guys, here's feedback I'd like to address for our animations, technically it's all working but there's something that we could improve. It's the layout.
The frog is whether crossing the top and/or bottom border or getting too close to it. I used a field guide to help me but I did get a little too close to the bottom right corner, crossing the safe action area. For Boato we loose some of the landing and for David there's a little bit of leg touching the top border, not much but enough to get the attention going.
Fortunately for us it's a minor tweak, I can share my field guide in .png file for next time if you want, it's a 1280 x 720 but you can scale it for 1080p or smaller without quality loss.
You can right click on the thumbnail below and save it, you won't see it if you open the link, it's transparent.



Hope it helps guys.
