Walking Animation

I have only just managed to get this animation uploaded after many months and a lot of hassle with frame dropping and file size.

This was the first 2D module given to us last semester and it was my first EVER time using Flash, and first ever time animating.

The module was based around the Walk Cycle as it is supposed to be one of the most complicated things to crack....as i found out. Hours and hours of frame-by-frame animation, knowing that somehow there was an easier way to do it - I just didn't know how at this stage. I tried to show the walk from most angles and not just take the easy way out and show the side view. The most difficult view for me to animate was from the front. Foreshortening did not come easy to me. Especially as i am not too confident with my drawing abilities anyway.

So here it is, Chaz n Dave. Chaz is the boy....and he is on a mission :)
