Smooth Martial Arts Weapons Cinematic Transitions with VFX
In some fight scenes in films or anime about martial arts, there are sometimes cool transitions when one weapon changes into another. Usually the camera angle changes too. It might be a bit tricky for the filmmakers to make them look smooth. These things look really cool. I tried to make the same effect but without the camera change. So I used my collection and made a transition from bokken to katana to knightly medieval sword to bow and arrow to wooden bo staff to nunchaku to shurikens to kunai :D.

I used a frame interpolation method cited below to transition between the shots:
