This is a two part project.  You will be creating a character.  With moving parts and a face.

Character I – Motion Cycle (15%) (Due: April 11, 2011 by 5pm)

Motion Cycles: design a character and create three separate motion loops for it/him/her: a walk cycle, a run cycle, and one other repetitive movement.  Keep in mind secondary motion.

The length of each individual cycle is dependent upon how long it takes the character to make a complete movement before returning to its starting position.

The loop should be seamless. (That is, if I hit “repeat” on the video player, there will be no skips or jitters between cycles).

The cycle can be submitted in three files or 1 file.

Character II – Animation (15%) (Due: April 18, 2011 by 5pm)

With those motion cycles that you will now create a little story. Don’t forget sound, title and credits.  (3o seconds)
