Techniques; Squash and stretch and the walk cycle.

Ive been pleased to see how some of the research into similiar projects is coming on. keep up the good work this first project is going to rely heavily on your sketchbook work.

Ok moving on, I want to put up some things to help you guys with learning the basic techniques of animation.
last week we got started on squash and stretch and you should at least be ready to capture your frames onto the computer now. this week I want to start on your next technique,

the walk cycle!

as luck would have it I found a great website that tells you everything im going to show you for these first two animation techniques, take a look and read through the tutorials if you get stuck or need a different explanation of what you need to do.

Your task for this week is to make a walkcycle,

here are the requirements

Your character must keep its volume the same, I dont want it slowly shrinking or growing!
Your character must walk across the page, not on the spot!
I want a movie file of the squash and stretch and walk cycle saved on my animation harddrive before the end of next week in a folder with your name on it!
