Character Walk

The Objective - To use two reference movies and one filmed by yourself
to create a short walk that transitions from one type of walk into another. The Result - I had too much fun with this
project. The first part of the walk is referenced from the movie Sneakers as Sydney Poitier walks around some
tables. The middle transition of tripping on his foot as he looks behind him was solely created by myself. Then
the last part of the walk is referenced to Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker's "dance" in the Rush Hour films. Finally,
the two flips were added in the last two days before the assignment was due, just to have fun and play a little with the character.

If I had more time on this, I would fix the few pops in the beginning - the first few steps in the first walk are a bit awkward - the flips
really need another pass or two - also I'd work a bit more on the textures and lighting, but the animation was really the emphasis in
this assignment.
