This comes from an animation I did ages ago. The animation was fairly well recieved but I always thought the run cycle got ignored. So here it is, chopped out on its own as an exercise. Drop by my zone if you want to see the original Redneck Rules.

This is a straight beginning walk cycle. There isn't a lot of personality in this one, that is for later exercises. If this helped you or you'd like to see more movies drop by the Logopai boomzone for more.

This lesson is all about creating depth by changing the size of an object. The simple rule is that the bigger the object, the closer it appears. I was a bit late this lesson and I'd love to work these three examples over a bit more, but I don't want you to have to wait too long. So here it is LESSO

ball test..also a lesson for those willing to learn..notice the bending and morphing of the simply ball shape. This ,.( in cell animation ).. is know as "sqwash" and "stretch"

Lesson 2 takes spacing and timing to the next level. Watch this movie carefully and you'll see how you can use spacing and timing to change the weight of an object. Also we have some design hints for giving your characters more emotion. Keep on Animating!
