This is the forest background of the walk cycle animation. Now that I’m looking at it as a whole picture, I realized that the trees look really far away making it look like Lauren would be walking from a very high place which was not my intention. The trees were meant to be much closer and the log was meant to be just over the river. I do still like it but I realize I need to plan where things go better. ( Composition )
Rough Animation – Walk Cycle
This is a rough animation of my character Lauren. Her walk cycle is supposed to simulate her her walking carefully over a tree branch. I also wanted to display her excitement. I tried to apply the the principles of slow in/out to mimic this. It was a bit difficult.
