Knights

Claire wants to be a knight one day. She is doing her best to get there. Dirk is already a knight. He is proud to be.

I made this project to explore contrasting body mechanics. Two different characters, two different ways to complete the same movement.

Dirk attack

Dirk is a seasond knight. He knows how to move in a precise, controlled way.

Claire attack

Claire wants to be as cool as Dirk, but she isn’t fully in control of her body yet. She is giving it her best though. She might be a tad unsteady, but at least she has understood that an attack takes great force to be effective.

Dirk scouting

Dirk scouts for potential danger like a solider. No extra energy wasted.

Claire scouting

Claire understands that a knight must be aware of their surroundings. So she puts her whole soul into her movements. She wants to really show Dirk she knows what the job is about.

Dirk marching

Dirk marches like he doesn’t ever walk like a normal citizen. Being a knight is his biggest pride.

Claire marching

Claire believes she marches better than she actually does. After all, with growing limbs it isn’t that easy being in control of one’s body. Marching is the part of a knight’s daily routine that she has the best grasp on, as the castle grounds are big and she has to do a lot of it.
