Week 8: Introduction to Walks

Another late blog update,
This week's lecture is about walks, pretty cool stuff...
The video lecture mostly covers basics of walk cycles, Keys, Extremes & Breakdowns,video references on different walks,interesting lecture...as usual
Finally I get to apply what I've read in the Animator's Survival Kit, I've always wanted to do that

This week we unlock a new character "Ballie"
This week animation assignment is a two session assignment. This session I will block out the shot and next session I will complete the animation. Stepped mode for this week.
Add to that another pose for Stu is requested, Strength pose or physical strength

I started with some sketches for Stu's pose and the Vanilla walk blocking
I need to work on the rotation of the hip, and decrease the Ups and downs, too much for a vanilla walk.

Here's assignment 7 work in progress
