Week 8- Vanilla Walk & Strong Pose 



So this past week we had to animate our character 'Ballie" in a vanilla (basic walk). We were given lots of information on how to do this, i.e what frame numbers ballie should be on, so it was pretty standard. Soon we will be adding personality to ballie, but that is down the road (although not too far!) We also had to create a pose showing strength. This was definitely a tough one to achieve, as there are many different types of strength. I tried not to be too cliche, but sometimes you have to be cliche to communicate what you are trying to show. But I think I came up with a nice one. Not only does the character under the block convey strength, but I feel that the character above on the box riding it shows a happy inner strength. I also added another pose for fun, although like my mentor Steve said, the lines of action were too similar, not creating enough contrast, so it made it very symmetrical. That is why I chose my first pose as my select pose. This upcoming week we have to refine and polish our walk. And it's my birthday on thursday! Woo hoo! So here it is...
