There is this satisfaction when it comes to animation, that I know from personal experience where the longer you work on a shot, or a sequence, the more details there is in the animation, the more satisfying it is to later just watch this insane level of effort simply wash over you one frame after another.

According to legend, a herdsman stumbled on a cave in Britain in which King Arthur's warriors had been sleeping for centuries. One of the warriors opened his eyes, and asked if Arthur had returned yet. The terrified herdsman said no, so the warrior went back to sleep.

Today we went to #Tintagel, which is on the #NorthernCoast of #Cornwall. It is supposed to be the place where #KingArthur was conceived. The veracity of that claim is highly dubious but the rugged beauty of the coast is beyond question. It’s not too difficult to get to, being just over an hour’s drive away. Today’s walk totalled about 12 km.

I joined a really enjoyable history walk yesterday learning about the sieges at Coity Castle and King Arthur’s ‘real’ burial site within Coed-Y-Mwster. There are some really attractive rights of way all around the area . #Coity #Coety #Castle #Castell #KingArthur #Bridgend #Wales #Cymru #Cadw

No wonder they had trouble pulling the sword from the stone. Steel hadn't been invented yet.

King Arthur's Great Hall, Tintagel, Cornwall

Contains a fabulous collection of glass on the theme of the legends of King Arthur, all designed by Veronica Whall, using the streaky slab glass developed by her father Christopher Whall. This one depicts Arthur extracting Excalibur, the mythical sword.

The only appearance of a unicorn in a medieval Welsh legend is a surprisingly savage creature that attacks any human it finds and drinks lakes dry, killing all the fish. Peredur (the Welsh Sir Percival) slays the unicorn, but then discovers it's the pet of a fairy lady.

In Arthurian legends, many of King Arthur's knights are so virtuous and devout that God grants them saintly miracles, such as prophetic visions or banishing demons. The most common miracle for these knights is the "laying on of hands" (healing people with a touch).

"I dreamt of the dragon"

"I have awakened him. Cannot you see, all around you, the dragon's breath?"

This evening's viewing: revisiting one of my all-time favourites, Boorman's Excalibur, which succeeds where other Arthur fulms fail, because it embraces the myth.

Sir Percival was one of King Arthur's most virtuous and pious knights. He was the "holy fool," whose innocence protected him from the world's sins. Percival was inspired to become a knight as a child when the light gleaming off their armour made him mistake the knights for angels.

Dagonet the Fool is an eccentric warrior of King Arthur. Depending on the source, he is depicted as either an incompetent coward, a dangerous madman, or King Arthur's official jester - who was knighted for his courage, and who plays tricks on the king's enemies.

I love these types of discoveries. With the advent of archaeology and new modern imaging techniques, we seem to be recovering more and more of what was once lost.

As an aside, Merlin is one of my favorite fictional figures, and C.S. Lewis' depiction of him in That Hideous Strength one of my favorite renditions of Merlin. Lewis imagines him as an immense, serious man who is Christian but only barely—he seems very pagan still—and who can channel angelic powers. You can tell Lewis had a lot of fun imagining Merlin waking up to wreak havoc on the supernatural forces of evil in the 20th century.

Next to prophecy, Merlin's defining magic was shapeshifting. According to legend, he could transform himself into virtually anyone - young or old, man or woman. It was often hard to know if you were dealing with the person you thought or Merlin in disguise.
