Final Project

For my final I kept my original puppet to use for my dialogue. I made around 4 or 5 different mouths for my puppet, then used key frames to properly cycle through the different gestures. The dialogue was from the intro to a cartoon named Gargoyles. The most challenging part was moving the head around and still keeping the mouths right.

Puppet Run Cycle

For my puppet run cycle I chose to animate Okami running. I took a picture of Okami and turned him into a puppet and fully rigged him in flash. After that I studied a wolf's running cycle and made 7 key frames from the different poses. After that I used simple tweens to smooth out the animation. From there I fixed any errors in the pieces of the puppet by putting them back into place with more key frames. Here is the final outcome.
