Animation: my exercises

[mrZack]

your walk cycle, your hips seems a bit mechanical.
and please refere to the animation principles, i dont think your hips are opposite to your shoulders , or at least it could be more smoother in your hip rotation.

your head is seems a bit odd, when you walk, u tend to see/focus straight ahead of you instead of bobbing/carried away with the body

your run cycle, arms a bit too much sway away from the body, your head up and down is good. can u give me a front and side view also?

but so far very good. the run cycle is nothing more than an altered and faster walk cycle. and the run and walk cycle are one of the most hardest animations to do. keep it up.

Your death cycle seems to be missing secondary and follow through, its also somewhat choppy and maybe you should slow it down.
Your walk's a little stiff.
Your run has quite a bit emotion in it although it could be improved with more tweaking.
All that said I really like your dunks, only thing I can think to improve on those is give him more time to come to a stop at the end of both.

Keep it up! =)

i never animated yet..but his arm thats moving is overdone..its to much swinging.. like he has to swing to keep himself goi9ng..it has to be more easy going..with a little twist in the lower arm

and.. i put my hand over his top body and armd..to have a good look at the feet caus they looked.. well just.. like has been sayd.. a little of ,not really natural..

it seems he ways more than he obviously does.. it gives mee the sence of that hes putting all the weight on his knees..and he pushes with his right leg.. the right leg moves different and fasten than the left.. that can be offcource.. put it all look a little stiff

i think you could make it a lot better with some minor adjustments..

just a little slower walk(feet turning..from going vertical to horizontal)..let him walk a little more straight..and give him a very little swing in his arm..

you people suck,
i hate your criticism :scream:

haha, j/k.

i see his walk needs work. a bit stiff i see, his hips, push off feet, and the way his feet rolls when he pushes.

i went back and read that richard williams book some more, and i realize i didnt analyze all walking principles on him completely.

thanks for the crit. i will see if i can rectify those problems.
