Side Scrolling example


So now Ive animated the sidescrolling aspect of this, however when doing this i realized its going to be impossible to make this character run.. the cat like legs will be a challenge to animate which would take up too much time so im going to use this as a game play example for the trailer the more i have the better

Side Scroll Pieces

Next I wanted to move onto animating a gameplay example, choosing Hale once more I drew up a side profile of Hale and then placed them together in AfterEffects ready to animate..

Lancer

Lancer pieces

Lancer

I tried with one more Character before trying something different and I chose Lancer

Graiden Pieces


Practicing

I needed more practice at this technique so decided to produce a second and third one with characters with more objects to work with so I chose Graden and above is the result

Bits and Pieces

This where the pieces used in the previous video blog

Move on up!


Now all the Characters are complete It was finally time to move onto better things, animating!
I wanted to be doing a range of different animating at the same time as so far on this brief I feel I grow tired when Im repeating the same things like 11 characters heads, then 11 profiles, it grew tiresome..

So First off is Hale, the character Ive been started with at every stage and produced this video, this was the result of three tries and I had issues with making it seem natural and less block like movements
