Walk Cycle Evaluation
I found many things that are good about my animation and I also found some bad things too. Some pros in the animation are that it looks like the man is actually walking, its not extremely choppy because there are a fair amount of frames (8). The steps are fairly smooth so it does look like he is walking normally; I think that the arms also look like they are swinging like someone walking. I think that the actual character is fairly well drawn but there are some things I could change about it. I also made it so the feet step onto the heel of the characters foot first and then to the sole of the foot, this just makes the animation look more like someone walking.
The Cons are that the animation could have had a few more frames to make It look a bit smoother because near the last frame the characters body jumps slightly. I could have also drawn the body of the character I bit better because the lines change slightly during the animation such as the characters trousers at the back it has a slight spike on it.
I could have also made the arms swing a bit more smoothly when they are swinging forward, it almost look like he is spinning his arms. I could have also tried to sync the footstep sounds a bit better because they are slightly off.
I could have tried to record the sound a bit louder by putting it closer to my foot steps, this is because you have to turn the sound all the way up on the Mac to be able to hear it.
Altogether I made the animation rather well and if I were to do it again I would take in all the cons and change them to my advantages.
Feedback:
· The sound could be more in sync but overall it looks all right.
· The sound is not very loud but it is fairly in sync
· It was all in sync, But the volume wasn’t very loud.
· Sound almost perfect in sync, the sound could be a little more quiet because in actual cartoons you don’t really hear the footsteps that much
