Assuming you have about 12 frames per second for a smooth animation
(minimum frame rate). If you took careful notes then after the battle is
dome, the movements could be recreated via stopmotion, it wouldbe fun and
take a long time, but probably would be worth it... Maybe divide each move
into 10 so there is almost a second of movement per phase, then the
shooting could be a second more, with time it would look really cool.

When you dream there are no rules, people can fly, anything can happen.

You may think you can fly, but you better not try it...
