And now there is no reason for anyone not to understand how the Archer's paradox works.

I'm impressed that they had the arrow spinning, and showed paradox! I've noticed in movies that when they show a close up of an arrow in flight it's always flying without any spin at all...nor wobbling with paradox. Looks like these blokes did their homework,hey? :biggrin:

Note how the arrow spins up to speed. Note also the attention to detail in other areas - the Celtic design on the back of the chairs, the design on the back of the bow, the bow is a recurve. If you look at other trailers thn there are things like the designs on the banners and the correct rigging of the boat.

Then again that barred fletch is a bit sus... Not many native Turkeys in Scotland.

There were 3 things that caught my attention particularly.

The bow toss by the 2nd archer when he missed the gold.
The 3rd archer torquing is arrow off to the side - something I remember doing more than a few times myself.
And the girl, breathing out to a state of relaxation prior to loosing.

It is amazing how talented those animation folks are. It never ceases to amaze me how well they can capture human emotion in the faces of various animals.

Looks like a good bit of entertainment.
