For breaking line I made a train passing a platform, and a man drawing a sword before falling over whilst holding it. I think that the platform and the woman work well on the train animation, but I think that I should've made more of an attempt to keep the train's outlines straight. I think that the curvature ruins the illusion of intense speed, and that the carriage separators are too clear. For the man drawing his sword, I accidentally went outside the guidelines for framing, and the top of the man and his sword leave the frame. I also had some trouble with getting the cameras aperture and shutter speed correct for this animation, and I feel that it is very unclear and hard to read. I also used very light pencil for the 'falling' part of the animation, so it looks as if it jumps back to the man unsheathing his sword straight away. I really like the figure and movement though, I just think that I accomplished it badly.
