best work ever seen!!

one question: how do they animate that afterwards?
do they draw the figure, in the actual movie, from all that sides (which are faced by the camera) or is that a 3D character?

because I often noticed there were some 3D objects especially in the 3rd book (like the firenation aircrafts)

(late reply is late)

These storyboards are guides for the animators: from it, they have the right camera angle to draw the backgrounds. The character will be drawn on a separate level from said background.
When CG is involved. the animator needs to know where the 3D elements will be: often that can be easily done with a good screen grab (the 3D model will be animated before the characters).

This was a very beautiful part of the finale, and it's an honour to be able to see the actual story board snatches. Your art really is fabulous! *bows* Thank you so much for sharing.

/serious: Aw, darn, Aang is so cute (I'm saying that in a 'mummy' sort of tone) -^v^- Even when he's behaving in an all grown-up sort of way due to the circumstances, I really do love how the show kept his being a 12-year-old in mind. It really gave it a touch of naturality that was unique to it! I hope you had fun during this undertaking! ^v^ It was sure fun to watch!

I love this move! It is so much fun when you pull it off and send someone flying with it!

More silly questions: When you have reference for the martial arts, it is static like a picture? Or do you get the full blown video from many angles? I know you had a kung fu master on staff right? Regular people are hard enough to draw, doing martial arts takes just a metric ton of anatomy and understanding of not just balance but moving balance, and I couldn't see doing it without at least video hehe.

There were videos made: one was a general point of view, to get a basic idea of the move. Usually, that was enough to work from. Sometimes, they would re-shoot the move to better fit the angle of the storyboard and get a better reference for animation.
For this part, it was the general point of view.
