Week 7 - Rubber Hose

The theme for this weeks weekly walk is rubber hose style.  This is a cartoon style from the late 1920's early 1930's where the characters limbs have no joints.  They bend a wiggle as if they are made of rubber.  Hence the name, rubber hose.  Happy Animating!

Week 6 - Copied Walk - Animator's Survival Kit

This walk is copied from the Richard Williams' Animator's Survival Kit.  He copied it from Milt Kahl.  I have been getting better at going through my own animation frame by frame and fixing mistakes, so this one should play very smoothly.

Week 6 - Copied Walk

This weeks theme is to find a walk you like from some other animation, analyze it, and then animate your own version of with a different character.  The point is to study how other animators create walks, not just to copy it frame by frame.

Week 5 - Satanic Sneak

 When I first started this, I didn't intend on doing anatomical detail; but halfway through, I thought it would be look cool.  I wasn't sure if it would work.  I am happy with the results.  The lines boil a lot.  That is not surprising, since this is only an exercise, I didn't put much effort into making them not boil

Week 5 - The Sneak

The theme for this week's walk is sneaking.  The character must walk with light feet,  making as little noise as possible.  He/she/it will probably creep on his toes trying not to be detected.  The choice of character is up to you.

Mind Control (Sort of) - John Guy

It's radio control, that's sort of mind control. I wanted to try to animate details since that is something I have had trouble with in previous weekly walks. I feel pretty successful in getting the details to animate without too much boil. I also wanted to try a more extreme perspective. There are some places where he pops. The Camera shake covers them nicely, but you can see it in the rough version. I did intended on the camera shake from the beginning. I didn't just add it to cover my mistakes. I could have spent more time fine tuning the motion and less on the details.

Right, so here's my wizard. I think he's a little jaunty, but that's what happens. I tried to not oppose the hands with the legs, and it turned out kinda good. Yes, it's poppy, but I'm not doing inbetweens for this one...
