Excellence - Crane Clan Entry for L5R Video Contest

Back


This is my entry into the Legend of the Five Rings Video Contest for the Race for the Throne. It's a fan video I made during my spare time in the last few months. I recently graduated with an animation focus, but I don't animate outside of my own free time, so it's nice to practice my skills now and again. It's far from perfect, but I think it turned out OK considering my limited skill and the equipment I have on hand. It's also too bad that YouTube cuts down the framerate so bad... Anyway, it's inspired equally by the art of Iaido and the fantasy world of Rokugan. Enjoy.

Oh, and btw, just to make this clear, this is a fan video made as an entry for a contest with no physical prize. No money was made or earned from this video.
This video contains music samples from Kodo's "Orekama," Kitaro's "Battle Drum," and Kohachiro Miyata's "Sanya." All music clips and sound effects were used in accordance with Fair Use policies. The Crane Clan, L5R, Rokugan, and all that is connected to those terms are copyright 2007 Alderac Entertainment Group. Please refrain from redistributing this film. Thank you.

Hmm I guess its kinda good but I expected to see more of a Iaijutsu pose instead of the normal duel pose showed, good video man, kudos to you from a veteran L5R player, even though im a spider clan player now I started using crane back in gold edition and It would be nice if crane wins the race for the throne
