Blocking the animation

 

Blocking the animation

 

now with the planning done, it was time to start on making the animation. I first started with the a single sidestep, going to the right for the character.
 

 

I noticed after making the step that it was a lot harder to make a post and pre infinity loop as the character is moving at an uneven tempo and would eventually stop unlike the walk cycle. To solve this I decide not the create the infinity cycle, but only animate two side steps for the animation.

 

During peer review, the teacher advised that for my blocking the body should be balanced more properly as the weight of his body was uneven and to avoid rotating the feet too much.

The second pass of blocking was the complete animation, with two sidesteps and the Package man peering around the corner. After the second pass was peer reviewed, the teacher advised that the arm were given more animation as one student pointed out that they looked like they were frozen and stuck onto the wall. Also she added that facial expressions should be added.
