How Does the Dancer Work? Unpacking the Creative Animation of Kingdom Hearts!

Janice Dublin Animation Review 1 years ago

Descripción

I really got a shock with this one!

This is an in-depth video essay that analyzes a Nobody from Kingdom Hearts! As a character animator, I take you through the designs and movements of these characters and discuss what makes them great, so we can admire them together! :D

In this episode, I analyze the Dancer specifically, discussing some of its attacks, staggers, idle animation, and its unique way of traversing the world. Also included a special look at this Nobody's connections with Demyx!
