Walk Cycle.

I watched a great DVD in class about making a walk cycle, breaking it down into steps to make a generic walk cycle and then moving onto something more characterised. The DVD is a visual/audio version of Richard Williams book - The Animators Survival Kit. I have the book and i love it, but it was really rewarding to watch Williams explain his work and the way to think about walk cycles, it gives a different depth of information that the book gives. I am going to concentrate on two blocks at a time. The legs first - then the arms. There are important positions to include in your walk cycle. This is included in a previous post that which has images of all the arm positions and the main leg positions - contact, down, pass pose, up and contact.

When setting out making the walk cycle i was fully aware that the image that was supplied to us, and also the images on the internet are very exagerated in positions. This is to make it clear to us
