This week the topic was to create a walk cycle for the advanced character animation project.In the advanced character animation project the teddy bear had a confident walk which was evident in the teddy bear's posture and pose throughout the walk cycle.That is why many youtube videos were collected together as reference materials for the advanced character animation project.
If you would like to watch the videos follow the hyperlink below. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkogiJVG9TvG5jfgsVNUKb-YWqDm45RvK.
By reviewing the reference videos the animator was able to make the give the animation better flow.The Observational skills helped with the animation as the animator will be able to determine what looked right and wrong at every stage of the walk cycle.
This is an image of a confident walk cycle for the advanced character animation project that was found from google images.The reason why the walk cycle was brilliant for the project was due to the fact that it was simple yet effect for the project.
This is a compilation video of angry people on Youtube.This was one of the best ways to find professional examples where people gradually witness the temper due to small circumstances.At the end of the animation project the teddy bear shows it frustration as it bursts into tears as the handle of the pull machine broke apart.
This is final version for the animation of the teddy bear walking towards the machine to use the pull up machine.If there was one aspect that could be altered it would be the speed of the character for every single frame.This is one camera angle of the animation and there are three more cameras showing the same animation.

The walk cycle was the difficult part of the process but a necessary lesson. The walk cycle enable the animator to think of himself as the teddy bear going to the gym for a workout.This was useful as it enabled the animation to bring life to the character within the animation project.
