We were asked to come prepared to the green screen room with 3 character walks in mind. We were also told to give our characters depth, and consider their personality traits, as well as their story.
My story ideas were-
6 year old girl has just got some new shoes and admires them whilst walking.
She would have her power centre quite low down as she bends to admire her shoes. It could have been fun to animate her looking at her feet and lifting her them high in each step. I could also exaggerate the way she treads very carefully, so as not to scuff them.
It would have been so cute to animate a child in her mommy’s shoes! But I probably wouldn’t be able to get any first hand references, and finding a good rig to use might be difficult as well, so I opted out of that plan.
Grumpy old man- walking to the corner shop. Perhaps he sees some youngsters that irritate him? Maybe has a bad back? Or uses a cane? This afternoon he’s going to feed the birds in the park. His power centre would be quite high up, but he should also be quite hunched over and move slowly.
Drunk woman sits on a wall outside a nightclub to rest her aching feet. She’s taken off her heels and hobbles home. She would be bent over slightly, with her arms out, trying to place her feet carefully.
This is the character that I chose for my video references in the green screen room, it seemed like a fun one to act out and animate.
