Spear Animation

Spear Animation
I made this for fun and to improve on my animation skills. I wanted to learn how to animate a new weapon and how to use smear frames in a spiderverse like style.
It´s more than just adding effects, I needed to make it look blurry without motion blur too!
I learned that impacts frames are more than just cool blurry frames. It´s about showing explosive power, I needed to pin down a point where the energy comes from.
Rig
The rig/model is the same, I only added the spear part. I made 2 bones and parented 1 to the hand and the other one to one that's parented on the hand. I did that so the spear can move up and down from the hand without changing it's rotation point.
