Yes, we are nearing the end of brief one, you can tell, thanks to the big task of the walk cycle, note its not an animation book/class/tutorial if it doesnt have a walk cycle in there somewhere, even if just teaching you about keyframes and inbetweens.
And at this point you are all probably thinking, she must be the vainest person on the planet, after all this is not the first nor the second but the third time that ive based an animation exercise on myself this semester alone.
Vain or not, Im quiet proud that ive made all three very different style, yet based on the one person.
This one i actually based of Finn from adventure time, i used him as a walk cycle reference. and the head i designed after taking inspiration from a dr.suess movie that was on at the time.
Hopefully keeps my drawing style diverse as i have a bad habit of sticking to my usual drawing style, none of which has been shown in this brief at all.
The walk cycle is approx 9 frames (i also have the memory of an old man) after many failed attempts at the walk cycle, i walked from one end of the room to the other documenting movements, thats how the very bouncy movement came about.
Once i was finally happy with the walk cycle, and as its the last exercise i decided it was time for a proper paralax movement, after all, everyone has been shouting about it in every class, i figured time to at least try.
and remember that old blur tool i discussed way back at the timing exercise ? well that came in handy like i imagined, the paralax movement looked very static and boring until i added hints of blur of different ranges to each moving background layer, making the distance more obvious, i think it really suited this particular project.
So .... where to now? Brief two off we go, and hopefully ill have enough skills built in this Brief to carry over to the next one and actually create something interesting! wish me luck folks.
