2D Walk Cycles - Week 10

Made this 8 step walk cycle with Rhys. We then added extra appendages to experiment with follow through to further emphasise the bounciness of the walk.


I then made another walk cycle using traditional animation methods:

Things I liked:

• The lumbering feel of the walk accentuated by the snout swaying and how it makes it feel 3D
• The fluidity of doing it at 24fps on ones

Things that could be improved:

• The shoulder placement is not constant/doesn't follow an arc
• The snout's perspective messes with its length

Although this walk cycles seems to work, I am not happy with it...


I then used Adobe Animate and After Effects to make this:

Things I liked:

• The timing of the walk (the slowing down of the arms in the in-between pose) gives it a low gravity feel
• The lankiness of the limbs emphasises the relaxed walk

Things that could be improved:

• The background and walking speeds don't match perfectly
• The neck's length changes slightly
