Below is an image that breaks down the scene I will be trying to abstract and animate:
This top half illustrates the linear movement of events. The pattern breaks down into an alternating sequence of stabs followed by transitive movements such as pulling the spear back, or lifting it up to throw. It lines up the motions of the spear with the geometry of the shield (line and shape).
This is my first sketch that attempts to break down the clip into chunks that I can comprehend. Here, I've highlighted the spear and shield in particular to understand them as possible abstract shapes that I will model for my animation. The goal will be to take these moments in time and stitch them into a linear sequence.
In addition, I have also plotted an approximation of how the camera will interact with the subject. It is represented in a relatively simple line "graph" shown below:
The next step for me is to explore the animating software to execute the commands dictated by the analysis I've done above. I will be trying to do this at first with a simple moving object and mimic the camera's motion temporally and spatially.
