Camera walk Cycle

Now isn't this a wacky one? This is my first walk cycle facing towards the camera, and it was difficult and easy to grasp.

I began this with a few key positions in photoshop, which I initially made in my head, before using myself as a reference for the walk. I took a video of myself in this wacky position, and it was odd to say the least.

My greatest struggles came with the legs and the belly. I wanted to get the right feeling of weight in that belly of his, so I did my best to use wise spacing, which was difficult for me, because I'm not the best when guessing spacing.

Also, for the legs, I tried using my reference, and a page from Richard Williams' book, "The Animator's Survival Kit".

However, I'd say the legs did not work out very well. They feel slide like and floaty. 

Oh well, this was my first time, so there's always a next time for me to update this thing or do better with the next one.

I liked doing the arms; I thought they came out pretty well for my first time.

Overall, this was a fun project to work on, and I hope that my next endeavor comes out, even better!
