I already animated others in this scene as they lifted a body bag. I thought I could get away with not animating this walk but decided it is necessary to keep things active. This is the first frame of animation called the contact drawing. There is just enough time in the shot for one step.
I am teaching an animation class and this will be used as an example to show students on how to execute a walk fairly effortlessly. It will require 13 more drawings to complete. Once this walk is done I have three more to do as well. I usually teach students how to do a walk near the end of the week of classes but this time I will jump right in on day one with the walk which gives them plenty of time to complete the animation.
