COVID: Animating Zombies Day 1

I have al lot of zombies to animate. I want the focus to be on the woman in the swimsuit. She is animated in slow motion. I did that since at the time I thought the zombies would all remain still.The first two zombies I animated take 2 full strides to her one stride. I am debating weather I should add to her animation or leave her walking in slow motion.

One zombie walks rather normally and the other walks with a limp, dragging his foot. Today’s animation will likely involve more limps and shuffles. I don’t want to over animate the zombies because then they would upstage the woman. The limp was surprisingly easy to animate so more zombies will drag their feet in the sand.

Stiff an lifeless is my goal for the day. The bouncy lively walks I try and teach kids will have to be abandoned. If there is time I may even go back an dial back the walk on the zombie from yesterday who is walking rather normally. He does have to keep up with the woman who takes a very long and leisurely stride.
