Computer Animation Assignment #7: Walk

 

 Computer Animation Assignment #7: Walk Cycle

   
     Overall, I think I ended up redoing the initial rough sketch/animation around 3-4 times. I have done some walk cycles in the past, but they're always a pain to start. I settled on drawing a mantis character that I've been doodling, and decided that I would try to animate a bit of a strut into the walk cycle. It's still a bit wonky but I think it's alright. I ended up getting a bit ambitious later on and ended up animating a second little fish character which was oddly difficult to animate. I want to show it struggling to catch up and it took a lot of re-editing and moving around to get the idea across. It was fun but I think I'm done with walk cycles for a little bit.

     Out of all the assignments that I've done this semester, I think this was my most ambitious one. I am currently creating a rough outline for a story that takes place in space and I wanted to use two of the characters from my story, who have a very strong father-son bond. I definitely had a lot of issues with the turn around spin, edited it a whole bunch but still coming out a bit wonky. The walking at the beginning is also a bit rough, but I feel like the parts that mattered to the assignment I did well :D. 

Computer Animation Assignment #5 : Headturn

     For this assignment I decided to animation a character from Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and went with Leonardo. The show's variation of Leo is a lot more silly and exaggerated which I felt would be fun to animate. I like how this one came out, although if I went back to work on it, I would probably edit the last half. Nothing too wrong with it I would just go with a different pose and speed.
