Subject
Revise your walk cycle until it’s “just right” (i.e: perhaps you need to add a few in-between frames to slow it down a bit, change the position of an arm or a leg etc.)
Add a follow through/overlapping action to your character’s walk cycle (i.e: a tail, flappy ears, hair, clothing/accessories etc.)
Finally, clean up your lines and add color to your animation sequence.
If the rough walk cycle you created last week was created in a software other than Animate you have to recreate it in this software at this point. The reason for this is that we will be adding camera, effects, credits and sound in After effects and this will be much smoother if we can import an Animate file (i.e: if you created your walk cycle in Procreate, you will not be able to use the camera to zoom on your character without it being extremely pixelated – Procreate is a raster program, while Animate works with vectors).
Format
Use the following file format: 24fps, width: 1920px | height: 1080px. Save your .fla file and export your animation to Quicktime (review exporting instructions on the week 2 page). Upload your animation to Vimeo or Youtube.
Submission
Create a new post on your Open Lab portfolio. Your post should include a link to your Vimeo or Youtube video as well as a short description (what did you add/change from the previous version. Reflections on your process, challenges, goals etc. are also welcome).
This assignment is due next week. Submit the following files on the following platforms:
Blackboard: .fla file and a link to your Open Lab post.
Open Lab discussion board: Reply to this discussion post with a link to your Open Lab post
