This finisher animation was created in my spare time as a personal challenge to improve my combat animation skills. A big thank to @nextkeyframe for the insightful feedback throughout the process. The character rigs by @KielFigginsused youtu.be/L68YQAeExQo

Animation breakdown 🎬 I started with boxes to plan the camera, framing, timing and main action. Then I moved to spline, polsh, VFX/SFX. Thanks to my mentor @nextkeyframe his Finisher workshop for the workflow. youtu.be/IOFz13gfjUM

I made this cinematic animation featuring Raphael from TMNT breaking into a base defended by robots. Big thanks to my mentor Stefan Iverson @nextkeyframe for the great feedback and guidance! 🙏 Amazing TMNT rigs by @KielFiggins #tmnt #raphael #ninja #combat #robots

I parented the cube to the cog locator. Then I parented the next spine locators to the cog locator. Each of them had a cube parented to it. Then I did the same with the arms and legs. The cog locator and its cube are at the top of the hierarchy, and everything else follows them.

Great workshop! Thank you for the feedback, Stefan
