weekly update 2/21

This week i have used the two class days to work on the walk cycle of my elephant, i have decided to finish out the walk cycle but im going to use the camera angle to only show the elephant from about mid leg up. That takes much of the attention off the walk and still captures the animal walking. It will require a lot less time. I can now use the time ive saved to try and really show the weight behind the way an elephant walks. There is a lot more to the way an animal walks vs a human, they use their legs, weight, and head in completely different ways. Im going to spend the next week to move the elephants ears and trunk when he walks. I watched the video of the 12 principals of animation, and that showed me that i should animate more than just a walk cycle, something else on the character needs to be moving, ergo im going to move the ears and trunk,
