Walk Cycle Evaluation
This is a very short flash animation of a walk cycle featuring my animation's protagonist, an onion.
Unfortunately I was having issues with settings in flash and colouring the circle in was proving incredibly difficult so the rendering is very choppy and not to my liking. Also as this was a mandatory part of the brief which is the only reason for its creation as there's no place in my actual animation for a proper walk cycle.
This flash was primarily made as a learning experience and that taken into account I think it works well. It helped teach me the basics of flash, such as how to tween objects to make them move smoothly between frames and how to alter and implement sounds. From here on I can build on these newly found skills for my actual animation.
I feel all in all that this walk cycle is a bit of a fail, but this is mainly because as there's no need in my actual animation for a scene like this. This fact massively effected the way it ended up, if this wasn't the case then I would've felt more obliged to polish it until it was completely perfect.
Unfortunately I also experimented with tween before finalising the flash and it doesn't completely work as I would've wanted to, but I put this down to inexperience with the application and this should fade with time. I also feel that whilst exporting the flash video it became slightly choppy which I couldn't have really had any effect on.
These are some of the comments I've had on the video to date. They basically reinforce what I already thought so that's some more encouragement to sort out the issues.
