After some feedback on the 18th, most of my peers said that the sumo element of the animatic is ultimately what stood out and to focus more on that. Since I know next to nothing about sumo, I had to do a whole bunch of research. On the plus side, I'm a lot more sure of what to do! At least, I think so. The following is a compilation of all the links I read thus far on sumo wrestling, with a few important, relevant points to my film I pulled out. General Info

They wear traditional Japanese clothing as well. Movement I managed to find this explanation of rules and list of moves.

If I'm honest though, I'm still quite confused. I'll need to watch a lot more. I'd actually watched the video first before doing any research, so everything was very confusing. Here are some small notes I took while I watched.
