LAUAN 404 - 2D Walk Cycle

Overall I think my 2D walk cycle was a success. I manged to move Valda in a lanky spaghetti kind of way, which is how I imagined her. This walk cycle did take a while to make (about three days) however, as my first ever 2D walk cycle, this is forgivable. Using Ollie Johnston's references proved very helpful- in a way it was hard to deviate from it because it's so good(!). In future I will experiment with real life references. By rendering at each stage I was able to make a short clip of the process of constructing the walk cycle.

WWW- weight, length and consistency. Appeal in character is upheld through ears and floppy socks.
EBI- could have payed more attention to the hands (hands are my biggest weakness)

I also put my walk cycle into motion against a potential background for my animation. Although the footage is quite flickery it is a good example of the potential visual style of my animation.
