Personality Walk Cycle

This is my version of a Milt Kahl strut from Williams book of animation

My "real life" reference

Generic Walk Cycle Front and Side View

My version of a generic walk cycle created in 3ds Max. I went threw this project three times. The first time through I worked just on the legs, feet and hips. The knees gave me some trouble. They were swinging very wide and looked very unnatural. I fixed the problem by key-framing the knee on each frame to make sure they stayed in line. The second time threw I worked on the arm swing and shoulders. I had some trouble getting the arms to swing properly. I discovered that I had to many key frames so once I deleted the ones I didn't need they looked better. The third time through I worked on just the head. I added some bob to the head so that it wasn't so static.

Undergrad Revised Animatic

Finally its done, the revised Undergrad 498 animatic.

Oswalds "Lucky" Dance

This is the 2nd trial of this project. This was the first time I animated a full 3D character. I have previously animated just a simple arm swing, but not the whole body.

The first time threw, I had lots of trouble with the left foot. I couldn't get it to hold. I also did not have an anticipation, ease-ins, or ease-outs. There was a lot I needed to fix, so I completely restarted the project from scratch and I think it looks 100% better this time around.

Inspirational 3D animation

This is the video that I chose as my inspirational animation. I found it on You Tube, it is not my original work.

1. Which principles of animation are seen in this animation? How has the animator integrated the principles of animation?

- I see anticipation in this video. I see it when the chef is on his toes and he moves to the left. I also see a lot of ease-ins and ease outs with his arm/hands, legs/feet and his hat.

Flash Animatic

Animatic - a preliminary version of a movie, produced by shooting successivesections of a storyboard.

This is for DAD 498 - Undergrad Research.

Arm Swing Reference Videos

These are my reference videos for my first 3d animation. I am attempting to create a realistic arm swing.

Quick Sketch

I did my quick sketch on the Pinocchio scene where the kids are turning into donkeys. I have provided the link to the exact video that I watched. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgmfV5VLHvs
