Walk Cycle: A Citrus Stroll for a Young Aardvark
Software: Toon Boom's Harmony Premium
Hardware: Wacom Tablet (Medium)
So, this was probably my favorite project thus far! Everyone seemed real upset about the walk cycle and the complications with physical proportions, but I struggled with it much less than the Rotoscope.
My action plan was to sketch each and every position, using color to denote the right and left legs and arms, respectively. This turned out great for me, as I simply had to track weight rather than also worrying about movement when I inked it afterwards. My only struggle was definitely the peg and move process, as I was definitely not attentive enough when it was presented in class and had to start over and try to learn it online. The keywords were not getting me what I needed, and I was just genuinely lost. I found out eventually that I simply had to add key frames... take note future animators!!!
I had some extra time before an event I was attending, so I wanted to add a cute, animated background as well. I love oranges, so I created a squad of happy oranges doing various things in the background of the walk. Also, some real snappy music!
