The noodle boy is running! Another 2 scene for Maxi's The Hayseed Knight are done!
Previous posts are here and here.
These two scene are a bit easier than previous scenes. They mostly contain a run cycle animation and I can reuse those run for half of the length of each scene <3
Thanks to Miyazaki's note on run animation in his early work (Future boy Conan to be exact) that become a widely use technique in Japanese animation style.
You only need three drawing for each run cycle.
- No. 1 - The Contact: Where one side of the foot is hit the ground
- No. 2 - The Anticipation: Knee bending, body lower down so the legs can support the momentum.
- No. 3 - The Inbetween. The leg that hit the ground now push the body forward.
- No. 4 - LOOP: Now do the same but with other side of the body.
Voila!
The rest is just moving them run cycle according to camera in the board.
The first one will be running toward camera while the second one running from left to right.
Then if you want to make him run fast, make it on 2s (one drawing every two frames) or on 3s for slower run <3
Now we have only 2 scene left for Ader. Once they are done I will start doing other characters next <3
Tho, I got another gig coming! It's an animation intro for the game "Night at the Meowseum" by my friend, Misu. Will keep you update and please pray for me to survive! X'D
