Walk...stepping stones to learning. hah.

Interestingly enough, the feet were the easiest part for me. i guess cuz there were so many references. I also took some video clips of myself. I looked at the general motion of my walk and applied what I knew with the references and also the length of stride, as well as the tempo. My arms in my vid didn't really move much, but i guess with the longer stride of the character, it was appropriate to add more movement. I could've added more follow-through, cuz it looks kinda stiff, but i thought, nah looks somehat ok cuz he's a guy. If it was a girl, I'd prob loosen the wrists more. The head was the hardest part. First I tried bobbing, the second-half i tried swaying. The swaying didn't look right with the rest of the motion. I'm guessing that because he's taking long strides, there isn't much room for swaying as opposed to shorter strides. So i tried to tweak it a little, and make the swaying lil less obvious. also, it's hard to keep consistent sizing esp the head. one more thing, I think the upper body should be leaning a lil back with that kind of stride and tempo.
