Animating the walk cycle presented some challenges for me, but overall, I very much enjoyed the project. I chose to animate a clip of Phil Collins from the Genesis music video "We Can't Dance". I took one full walk sequence from the clip to use as the basis of the entire walk. Because of the way he steps in the sequence, I had to align each drawing in order for it to appear as though he was walking in place. Then, I put the camera on a peg and moved it across the stage to present the illusion that he was walking across the screen. I had to mess around with the alignment of the drawings to ensure a smooth walk cycle, which was slightly difficult, but definitely proved easier than how I had completed the walk in my weight animation, since I only needed to align the steps of one walk cycle.
Adding the music was a last-minute decision, but is one that I am glad I made, as I feel it really ties the animation together.
