Walk cycle

Here is the final outcome, I added the sound of footsteps and some background noise using a very high quality microphone called a Zoom H1, Here are some audience comments and feedback...

• "Very sucessful walkcycle, and follows the human motion of walking well. It has a quirky feel because of the jerk motion when walking"
• "Impressive use of shading and tone, it makes me emotional"
• "Better than I can do, and it runs smoothly"
• "Its good, but to improve, more frames could be added inbetween"
• "The hair is a good touch, it moves as he is walking"

These are some Basic drawings I did to scan onto flash and add more detail later. To do this I drew over stick men guidelines I also drew just to get the positions of movement, drawing over these on flash after creating them all as equal sizes was essentially useful.

Walk Cycle Evaluation 

A few weeks on from doing this walk cycle I can notice many faults, for example the colouring is not as good or precise as it could be by using the right flash tools, the lines are different thicknesses and small things like the right leg changing size.

Doing this again I would know how to use layers more effectively and I would better animate the hair swish, however in my animation i will leave the hair alone to avoid eye-sores, however I may look into it with my extra time if I have any after the narrative is complete.
