Outline for the Second Term Paper



1. Intro: Strange Flying

- Bernoulli's Principle & Aerodynamic lift


II. Space Jam - Tweety
- Tweety Bird has tiny wings, a big body and big head is constantly flying or floating in the air.
- One example is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5qLMuXylgU at 0:25


II. House of Flying Daggers
- https://youtu.be/E2yZcp9svws
- In the bamboo forest fight scene, the soldiers fly from bamboo to bamboo.
- At 1:10:15, the dagger thrown flies sporadically and somehow boomerangs around the bamboo cage. The arc is wrong.


III. How's Moving Castle
- https://youtu.be/EvjzH78cDVE
- 5:10-5:40 Howl (while carrying Sophie) flies straight up at 5:10 after hitting a dead end in an alley. They float in the air and able to "walk" in the sky.
- 1:11:14 While Sophie is falling from the sky, she is sucked into the open doorway.


IV. Attack On Titan
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af701bFjpJg
- The characters use "3D Manuever Gear". They are strapped to air cannisters and grapple hooks, which enables them to travel quickly over rooftops in their city.
- The acceleration the characters go through while using 3D Manuever gear would break their necks or have serious injury when they land because of the speed, but all of the characters are fine.
- Sasha can run vertically down a wall.


V. Conclusion
- It's all set in a fantasy world, so it's alright if they break physics. For example, in Attack on Titan, the characters should be dead instantly using their 3D manuever gear, but there's so much "cool" factor that we don't mind.
- Who doesn't want to fly and defy gravity?
- Different ways directors imagine flying.
