I feel like you could break down this scene shot by shot and have an arsenal of action boarding tools to last you a long time. Not only that, but the way in which to two characters fight reveals a lot about their  personalities. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile look at this crappy fight action I boarded for Adventure Time a while back. <\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e7Vl7_QVXcs\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I mean, mostly Adventure Time is a humor show so boarding action isn&#8217;t its main priority. Extensive actions scenes were always the first to get cut, and sometimes it was for the best, because it wasn&#8217;t a strong suit for most of us. <\/p>\n<p>The action scenes for the Manly pilot were revised by Luke Weber (Bikini Cowboy, Gravity Falls) who is known for having action chops. I wanted someone to go over my action scenes and make them more cinematially convincing. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure for the new Manly episodes I&#8217;m gonna have another boarder person go over my work and plus-up the action. Otherwise it&#8217;s gonna have that clunky &#8220;Jesse look&#8221;, which is fine for most scenes but in my opinion not fine for sweet ass fights!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lately I&#8217;ve been in awe of action storyboarders: Since I don&#8217;t originally come from the world of animation, and I&#8217;m missing a lot of the fundamental understanding of staging\/movement for action, I find it really mind blowing when trying to break down a masterful scene like the first 4:30 minutes of this fight between Gon [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/jessemoynihan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3664"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/jessemoynihan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/jessemoynihan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jessemoynihan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jessemoynihan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3664"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/jessemoynihan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3664\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3666,"href":"http:\/\/jessemoynihan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3664\/revisions\/3666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/jessemoynihan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jessemoynihan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jessemoynihan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
