Even though my animation's finished, I still had time to look at a new tool: Lattice. What this does is that it creates a box around your model which you can use to animate in all kinds of simple yet fun and strange ways.
I've decided to try this out for my sword (saving as a separate file in case it all went horribly wrong). The result is pretty unusual. It does allow more character for the sword at a cost of losing its realism since most swords are rigid in order to be usable in battle so I probably won't replace this version with the previous one.
Still, it was an interesting fun tool to try out (might have helped me with the assignment if I've discovered it earlier) so I've decided to save the footage of what I've done and post it here for all to enjoy.
In addition, I've edited this post making all the images darker so they're easier to see.
