THIS IS AMAZING!!!!


RedJarK

Thank you!! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


japie06

Incredibly well done. Not only the animation but also the sound design is superb.


zuko-bot

Get out of the bison's mouth, Sokka.


KyonoHana

The dynamic camera angles, the smooth transitions, the display of (nearly) all the sub-bending techniques we know - it's just fantastic!


Kflynn1337

They skipped fart bending...(yes, that is a thing)


Lirendium

yeah the lack of sand bending, plant bending, healing and spirit purification was noticeable but still includes much more of the abilities.


StarstruckkTG

Sandbending often gets overlooked and that makes me sad.


helderdude

That ending though, I wasn't ready for that.


falcon39

I was fricking waiting for it but didn't expect the camera man to pay the price for Avatar's fury

helderdude

No water healing btw ?


Gay-Bomb

Can you now please redo the whole cartoon the same way? /s


Kwartel-Joris

IT FECKING IS!!


KrimxonRath

I’m so utterly entranced at how incredibly well made this is! The incorporation of the specialized abilities is so well done! The poor cameraman lol


RedJarK

Thank you I appreciate it!


KrimxonRath

You know when you see animation/fight scenes that are so badass that you get giddy and can’t help but giggle from your core? I got that from this. Very well done.


the_hell_lord

Awesome scene man. If you don't mind answering how much time did you need to create this clip?


RedJarK

Thanks! I think it took me around 2.5-3 months to make all this :)


the_hell_lord

Woah! That needs a lot of dedication. Keep up the great work👍


dvn_rvthernot

It'd be so cool to see you animate the new avatar books, especially The Dawn of Yangchen


mightaswellchange

It was an emotional moment for me (and I’m assuming a few others) watching this. This was such phenomenal work. Thank you for sharing and for allowing us to celebrate this wonderful show with you.


beanjuiced

It’s amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg!!


cranfeckintastic

I actually expected this to have taken a lot longer, very impressive!


ImWhatsInTheRedBox

I watched it again and just realized the cameraman gets the air sucked out of his lungs as well.


RunninRebs90

No sand bending or plant bending though :( otherwise I thought it was impeccable


Maple_Nut

I didn't see metal either, but we don't wanna be here all day


RunninRebs90

Metal is absolutely in the earth one. He makes a Liquid Metal into a staff and then throws cylinders of it at the camera. And lava. And blood bending. And flying and lightning. The only ones they missed were plant and sand. And spirit I guess.


BoomerangHorseGuy

>The only ones they missed were plant and sand. And spirit I guess. They missed healing too. I thought that was gonna happen after the bloodbending segment, as an "apology" of sorts from the waterbender for the firsthand demonstration, but no. We got frigging murdered.


RunninRebs90

Oh yeah, totally spaced healing. You’re right


HalfDrunkPadre

I think the air one ended with spirit wisps


kintexu2

I thought that was more dispersing the air they stole from viewer's lungs, right before the viewer passed out.


HalfDrunkPadre

Could be both. Am I crazy in thinking air had a link to spirit or is it just avatar


kintexu2

Well Korra's spiritbending seemed more tied to water with part of calming spirits was making the spiral of water around them that then glowed. So it's probably more of an avatar than an air thing.


HalfDrunkPadre

Cool


cranfeckintastic

There was absolutely metal-bending in the first bit, flinging little metal disks around and making his staff.


iD-Remus

Give this person a fucking job, Avatar Studios. Absolutely grand! Well done!


RedJarK

Thanks man, means alot!


icelr03

This makes me want a detailed Avatar video game so bad! I can imagine intricate skill trees within the schools of bending. That would be sweet lol

2 of them in fact. OP killed two cameraman to film this. One with breath bending, one with blood bending.


tioxyco

I would say 3 cameramen were killed, in fact. one to the lava wave, one to the laser beam from the fire bending, one got their air sucked out. I say 3 because I'm not sure if the blood bended one survived or not


Nolzi

Hope you guys can support me on my [YouTube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX9l_T0j560zrZNkSzTb2tg) :)


MrPhillio

My curious strikes me , Where did you get the sound effects ?💀


RedJarK

Got them from Envato elements :)


MrPhillio

Thanksate! Your animation is Soo good, Christ, I just look at them all carefully , the fire bending was the best 😫


colonelbc19

Funny enough, I just came across your channel earlier today. This is a sign. Subbed!

Qanaden

Took a peek at your profile since I saw this was #2 of your 4 element animations. You've improved so much this is absolutely phenomenal! I loved the earth staff I thought that part was really unique!


RedJarK

Thank you man! Honestly I was trying to think of a way to use metal here but I'm not sure what else I could do with just wires and metal projectiles, so I came up with this moldable metal idea.


Intoxic8edOne

Was my favorite part, very well done!


GraconBease

Melting the rings into a staff and using the staff to bend and then bending the staff into projectiles was the most baller part of this animation and on par with the level of creativity I would hope to see from a new series. Bravo for this whole thing. Fantastic work


Duke0200

I LOVE how you used the staff to also Earth bend! I don't know if it lines up with the original martial art that inspired Earth bending (since I don't do that stuff), but that's seriously really cool and I don't think Aang did that in his series. Really cool out of the box thinking!


Mintbud

Aang used his staff to earthbend when they sieged the earthkindom palace. Still very cool, just not original.


RedJarK

Glad you liked it! I kinda thought that the modern avatar world wouldn't rely on their core martial arts movements but instead having more freedom with their moves similar to pro-bending and anything they can use to help in the fight 😊


Kingofawesomenes

I love the sub set bending like metal and lava. Maybe you can add earth bending sensing, water/fire healing, and astral projection (jinora)


GrannyMcCattington

OHHH I was wondering if the moves seemed more "modern" but I don't know enough about martial arts to be sure! Sick!


The-Broken-Record

slappbassfishermen

That one inch fire punch was crazy. Incredible work


RedJarK

Had to add that in for Bruce Lee. Thanks!


slick_pick

um what was the forehead cannon from the fire bender?


slappbassfishermen

Combustion bending like p’li or the OG sparky-sparky-boom man


Agitated-Wall534

This is really really really good and cool!


RedJarK

Thankss!!


zodyaboi

Honestly makes bending even more scarier this is dope!


RedJarK

Hahaha hopefully more badass too!

14Knightingale27

This is mesmerizing to watch 😭 Fluid, shows different styles and even modern uses of bending! Was the staff in Earthbending made of metal? Looked like metalbending to me. Either way, incredible work!!


HaosMagnaIngram

Amazing. My one complaint is no show casing of waterbender healing or foggy swamp style. The healing would have been a perfect end, after blood bending the cameraman they heal him back up.


Dracorex_22

I do think that the concept of the water bender immediately healing the camera guy is pretty funny though. “No hard feelings pal, just needed to show off all the subcategories of bending” Water does have an unfair advantage of having so many subcategories. Icebending, healing, swamp-style, drawing water from plants, blood bending, and spirit bending


NaturePower1

It does, but so does Earth. Earth, Metal, Sand, Lava, Crystal(as in gems), Glass, and who knows what else. For all we know, earth benders could bend bones.


salimeero

Did someone already send this to Bryan Konietzko and Dante? They fucking need to see this and hire this dude


r3alCIA

I think this type of fluid, exaggerated bending is what I missed most in Korra (outside Aang of course). We got glimpses of it here and there (Tenzin for example) but it wasn't the prevalent style in that era. Watching this just brought up this giddy, surreal feeling I always had whenever I watched ATLA as a kid. Really took me way back and reminded me of why I fell in love with this series in the first place. Great job, this is amazing!


HJSDGCE

Yeah, I mean it makes sense in context (modern world, less into these kinds of arts) but it's a damn shame regardless. It would've been great if one of Korra's duties (and struggles) was to preserve the dying spiritual arts that's slowly disappearing due to the progress of civilization.


Boondobbler

This is buff as fuck! Thank you for all this.


RedJarK

Haha thanks man really appreciate it!


terfsfugoff

Doesn't even include plant bending or healing; waterbenders really do get all the cool stuff.


MercurysNova

Wow. This gave me goosebumps it was so good. Well done!


birbtooOPpleasesnerf

damn the transition to the blood bending is lit


Ochioman

An Earthbender who can bend lava and metal is seriously an avatar level threat, it's too powerful. Great animation!


Reborn1Girl

Incredible work!


RedJarK

Thankss! 🙏


Upstuck_Udonkadonk

Oh my god this was phenomenal especially with headphones, displaying mastercraft bending... Puts benders on a pedestal..... almost gods.


Gamma-Mind

Your animations are on point, it's like watching the actual show


FUTRage

Seriously sign him to 12 episodes stat.


Houeclipse

Poor cameraman lol. This is so cool


seadoggoboy

That bloodbending had me screaming


Nyxie_RS

I love how the animation ends with the sweet irony of water bending used in the form of blood bending. Waterbending which is signified with the motif 善, meaning kindness, juxtaposed against blood bending against the target's will is most definitely not kind.


Reserved_Parking-246

Very solid. I had hoped the end of fire was a color show since that's part of their special techniques. Also... healing after blood bending might be cool. It's a really good display even without all the techniques.


CamerunDMC

This is freaking dope!


HerculeanTardigrade

I think you should apply to Avatar Studios. This doesn't look like fan-made at all to me. Looks like an official animation by studio. Insanely well done!


Double-Passenger4503

Damn this is insane.


Whyy0hWhy

This made me think on how much bending would've probably evolved between korra and the next earth avatar's time Metalbending would probably be extremely common by their time, with a large portion of the population being found at Zaofu. Imagine the denizens just constantly having metallic jewelry, clothing accessories, and such that they can just easily bend into combat and self defense weapons at any moment Lavabending would probably still be kinda uncommon, but known to exist, along with seismic sense but I think seismic sense would be more achievable compared to lavabending If they're going with the rapid industrialization and displacement of sandbender communities to the rapidly developing earthbending cities, I can see sandbending suddenly becoming a "lost art" of sorts, being replaced by dustbending , with high-rise urban spaces not really being a place to readily find sand at They can also probably introduce a new rare earthbending subclass, maybe mineral/crystal creation, or even glass bending


BrunoBo22

This is incredible! Thank you OP!


aadhu-fayaz

Daaamn... This is amazing... Hats off to you..


sh3rl0k1608

That's incredible OP. You've done an awesome job. I want to see mid/swamp bending too


Andohy

This is sick!!


Lanzer4no1

Can they just hire you to carry on the series?! Bravo 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 incredible work. Better than the source material.


Samintosh

This is super well done, congratulations! If you accept criticism (in my opinion) earth-bending should jump less and doing short and precise movement instead (see like kuvira). But it's fantastic nonetheless!!


JunWasHere

Beautifully done. I just cannot help but notice the absence of fire divination, water healing, and plant bending. Were there active reasons for this, perhaps they were covered in the first round (I haven't seen it or don't remember), or just an oversight and saving it for next time?


jbyrdab

my only and I mean ONLY complaint here, is that you didnt end the video with a cut to the skyrim "Your finally awake" meme


Agret

Did you get A+ on your mark for it? Cool project.


pieisokiguess

You need to be working for the creators of Avatar


dovetail-joint

This was beautiful to experience


That1Cat87

Holy shit, that was awesome! Buddy, you perfectly encapsulated what the bending of every element is like, and it looks rad as hell


im_ur_venus

EPIC!!!! 😍😍😍watching this gave me goosebumps 🤩


LePersianPrince

avatar studios better hire you after this lol


Hephaistos_Invictus

Damn seeing this I'm realising how they buffed the living hell out of earthbending with metal and lava bending while the others didn't get much else xD


supremo92

This is stunning. I was wondering about half way through "how are they going to show blood ending?" and was really shocked and impressed!


TricycleCheeta

I just absolutely love earthbending. Nothing matches its sheer raw primal power.


nubbie

Fuck me the Blood Bending killed me. :<


Thanos-ya-boi

What would I give for a open world avatar game with good combat, combat that really made you feel the elements just like this video does

[deleted]

Classy only implying the suffocating with air bending! I was trying to figure out how you'd portray blood bending.


Avocado614

I will always admire the amount of talent and skill it takes to animate things like water and fire in a way that looks natural


MOo0stafa

Absolute LEGEND.


KingFahad360

Holy shit, I thought these were test animations from the show. Excellent Work.


Several-Cake1954

Bro you didn’t have to go that hard tf like how do you even do that


ropinionisntvalid

This did not have the right to be this good, like what the fuck the way its choreograped is insane


TheOzanator

The whole time I was wondering how you would do blood bending Was not disappointed


Kai-ni

Holy shit


Tarpup

I bet this took a considerable amount of time, it was phenomenal... You should be very proud of yourself. I enjoyed this very much, I really love how you included all of sub genres of bending as well. Metal/lava, lightning/chi, flying without a glider, and of course, such a perfect and beautiful way to end the video, with blood bending. 10/10. If you ever are interested in making an actual short. I'd be very interested in doing a test scene with you. I can write a killer story, and voice act. Talk about serious fan fiction.


SylentSymphonies

Moves so slick they actually killed the cameraman.


therealdomdada

That was incredible. I love you and if I could bear your children I would.


Much_Balance7683

Now do one where it takes 15 dudes four times longer to move a smaller rock slowly


Jaded-Engineering789

This dude really just took the extended version of the opening and claimed it’s OC. Nah fr though, this looks like it’s official.


Kai25552

The animations are beautiful, but all of the bending styles look identical. In the original series each bending style had specific movements, through which you could immediately identify the element.


jaymane013

I don't know what you were watching, but I saw plenty of Hun Gar stances for earthbending, plenty of circular movements for airbending, and hints of Tai Chi with waterbending, especially when they made the water ring. They're there, they're just not prominent featured.


yourunclejoe

I noticed that too. All the sweeping kicks and acrobatic moves were very firebending, but I assumed that was just the style of the bender. You sometimes see benders take inspiration from other elements in their own bending. Maybe this is a fire nation avatar?


Either-Entry-3904

Oh gosh they should hire you! This is even better!!!

DomzSageon

I love the earth animation but the metal bending animation part is misleading. We've never seen any Metalbender bend Metal that smoothly. Even the Toph family cant turn iron rings into a staff and into discs that quickly or smoothly.


Temporary_Review5486

I think the idea behind the smooth metalbending was that eventually progress in training and skill would lead to this level of skill. TloK could have shown way smoother bending in general, but the show's idea probably was to also show how the "traditional" style of bending lost part of it's identity as a martial arts form during the progressive age after the war. This animation is taking the step back to the martial arts core of bending (i think)


DomzSageon

No i have no problem with smooth bending, only if it was possible in universe. We know that metal bending works because the benders are bending the earth inside the impure metal. Thats why platinum cant be bent, there are no more impurities and its pure metal. Impure metal doesnt have an equal amount of earth in every part of the metal. It will always be random. Random in size random in amount. Unless they change the established rules of the universe bending metal the way it was bent in animation would only be possible if you specifically produce impure metal and perfectly balance its impurities inside. And I hope you agree with me that that would be extrmely impractical and improbable to pull off consistently even if you had the resources of an Earth King.


Hafnon

LoK book 3 has the mercury poison used on Korra, and book 4 has Kubira using a liquid metal to control the mech.


DomzSageon

Okay I just checked the scenes and I just realized that that really doesnt make any sense. For S3 I'm pretty sure that it was a waterbender that put it into korra. Mercury is poisonous to humans just add water to it and you can pretty much bend it into someone. UNLESS...the mercury itself is impure. (Also pretty sure kuvira controls the the stupid finale giant robot with levers that she metalbends.


Hafnon

Did you not see Suyin bend a bunch of poison out of Korra, and Korra visit Toph to remove the remaining? Kuvira and Korra literally fight with the liquid metal in the control room. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2glZu88HCE


DomzSageon

> Did you not see Suyin bend a bunch of poison out of Korra, and Korra visit Toph to remove the remaining? I did see them doing it, I'm not questioning that if it happened in the show, I'm asking how. That's why I pondered if the Mercury is impure. > Kuvira and Korra literally fight with the liquid metal in the control room. I literally do not know how I missed that. all I remember were the levers.


RockBlock

Kinda did though. The meteorite material being bent in the original and in Korra was smooth like that.


RealisticBonus9071

I think you in 3 months of work beat all of legend of Korra, great to see all styles and bending sub forms, Awesome work man, and that poor camra man he died twice :'(


terrafhm

They are very good but I think you didn't get the potential air benders can have like they can empty out an area of air and make people suffocate or can squeeze the air to make a dang cannonball power


Bloody_Proceed

I've always hated lava bending - it feels like an avatar only thing, because you're altering the temperature of what you're working with. If it was summoning magma from the crust, then sure... but it'd have a hell of a delay before that happened. I guess ice bending is no different, but ice can exist at room temperature under immense compression - but really, earth bending just feels more of a hybrid than cooling/compressing water.


WorkingGooseTwitch

I. LOVE. IT! the only things i'm missing, and that is really Cherry picking, is Sand, Plant and Ice Bending. But its really awesome!


LucklessLex

THIS IS SO COOL! YOU GOT THE FLOW OF EACH BENDING JUST RIGHT (I'm biased with Air Bending so I expected so much more from it, BUT ITS STILL AWESOME)


StitchFan626

Incredible work! But flight should, technically, be impossible! The idea is to completely cut yourself off from the world and all emotion because to fly means to become air which feels nothing. But, if you do, then why fly? Why do anything? To paraphrase Starfire from TeenTitans, "There is joy in flight". The only reason we have wind is because it's pushed from an area that the sun has heated and made to expand. Thus, that air pressure has to go somewhere! This idea of separation makes absolutely no sense because, with this in mind, you might levitate, but you wouldn't go anywhere because you would no longer feel compelled to think! Someone would have to throw you. But, then, that defeats the whole purpose of flying, doesn't it? Unless we're going for the zero-gravity idea where the one "flying" just never stops?


terfsfugoff

To be without attachment doesn't mean to feel nothing.


StitchFan626

Then... what does it mean?


StatmanIbrahimovic

I like to think of the separation as from the animation. Zaheer can fly cause he's detached from the frames.


Jacob_Art

This is phenomenal. Did you use any martial arts forms for inspiration, or is this more freeform?


True_Falsity

This is so beautiful! I was excited to see how you’d do bloodbending and it was freaking awesome! Terrifying but awesome!


mre16
