Toolkit 1 Submission - Animation

Reflective Statement
My work ethic for animation has been abysmal really. With everything else taking priority, I pushed animation to the bottom of the pile and barely anything was completed, in addition to me being slow during class, which meant that I really had finished work even then. I couldn't even get the showreel to a minute. I am far from pleased with my work here.

Update:
Apprently the music (which was used for the after effects test) I left in the video has been copyright claimed, so I have no idea if the video is even playable. So I've got an alternate silent version here.

Animation Session 8

In this session, Nat had us create a basic run cycle.
Instead of doing the usual, one side of the screen to the other, she wanted us to do a simple running on the spot animation.
I finished this really quickly.

Animation Session 7

In this session, Nat wanted us to make a new walk cycle. We started by watching Monty Python's Ministry of Silly Walks, then she drag us outside to perform some silly walks to animate.

This was mine.


After that, Nat asked us to draw the cycle out on paper first.
(Not the best quality photo I've ever taken)

After that we began animating.

Not entirely pleased with this one, but I think it's a fair attempt.
