Lou Walk Reel

A simple walk animated on the free Lou rig.

One of the biggest challenges that came with animating this walk cycle was timing. Timing was finicky and at some point, the timing on the arms and legs relative to one another was changed to get different visual effects. When everything was in order, but the overall timing was too fast, the Time Editor came to the rescue. This way the animation could be sped up or slowed down without requiring manual messing with the work already done.

Included are videos of the early passes before the final animation.
