Walk Cycle animation

 

 

For this exercise, we had to animate a walk cycle. I found this one extremely difficult because of the consistency needed. The images above, are from the Animators Survival Kit by Richard Williams. It was quite helpful in setting up the frames and figuring out the poses.  

This was the first full draft. The walk and the timing are very well done, but the consistency is an issue, with the legs constantly stretching when the character steps.

A rougher draft. I reshot several frames from the previous take. I found the legs to be a lt more consistent here.

The final take, the legs are more consistent, and the moves up and down less than it did previously.
