So it turns out that I’m a terrible actor! (which is why I only included one of me) It was also a more difficult theme than I thought it would be. I liked the idea of her getting up really gingerly, and trying to steady herself, keeping the weight off the balls of her feet. This is mostly what i was trying to get across in the video.
i took a few versions of this, but chose this one to include because of all the extra little gestures i was thinking about adding in. This is a good exercise to do for any animation, just to work out what feels natural and to think about what little nuances to can add. I also like the way i was talking to the people off screen at the beginning, it wasn't deliberate, but it could have been good to show her talking to friends or something.
I think this girls actual walk was better than mine, because i was trying to walk too carefully, which made me keep my upper body too still. Whereas hers was much more comical and bouncy. Hers is also good for showing her talking and laughing with friends.
it was also hard to find any sore feet walk references from the internet or TV. I was worried that my animation wouldn’t be very convincing so I decided to change my idea a little. I had the same basic character in mind (cougar lady) but instead of walking home, she would be going to the salon, before going clubbing, to find a guy.
