New E-Collectibles
Hi there. I bring you new Avatar e-Collectibles. Enjoy! Oh yeah, and I FINALLY got that Koko e-Card I was looking for. I think it's a waste of my Nickpoints though. :P There's probably spoilers for tonight's and next week's episodes though. You've been warned.
Koko
Bumi
The King of Omashu
Cabbage Merchant
Flopsie
Haru -I had a feeling there would be something like Haru/Katara.
EDIT:
And uh... I found this interesting post about what style of martial arts they use. I'll just quote the whole thing. Hehe.
From this Kung-Fu forum.
"No problem!
We are really excited about the up coming premier of the show. A massive amount of work went into getting the animations just right. Tin House in Seoul is the best. For those not in the know Tin House did Wonderful Days/ Sky Blue in the US. (http://www.skybluethemovie.com/)
They made our visions a reality in their powerful and unique methods of combining 2D, 3D, model miniatures and particle arrays. This has never been used in an animated series before. The speed, timing and geometry of the characters had to be just right and they worked very closely with traditionally trained martial artists. The animation and story board staff even went as far as participated in Northern Shaolim training and conditioning classes (bless their aching legs!) in an attempt to understand the essence of what they were drawing. The magical powers of all four tribes are firmly rooted in the Chi Gung traditions of Chinese martial arts as well as the geometries of movement stillness and transitions. The Air Benders for instance based their skills on the movements of Bagua, the Fire benders on Northern Shaolim, The Earth tribe on Hung Gar and the Water tribe on Ku style Tai Chi. ( a style of Tai Chi passed on in the Ku Yu Cheong Lineage.) Anyway I’ll be interested to see how the martial art community responds to what we tried to do."
