walk cycle bear WITH WRITEUP!

here, have a gif of it :)

So, Here's how i did it.
we found the image of the bear online, we then took his image and split him into the separate body parts, by doing this we allow us to articulate every joint separately. i imported the image of the bear into adobe after effects and placed him in the centre, i then made sure the points of articulation were as i wanted them to be, for example making sure the bears arms turned at the shoulder and such, after this i made the bears body lean slightly to give him a slightly more realistic posture, i then created key-frames to give him his upper body jiggle, this gives him the rise and fall as he walks, next i animated the legs into a realistic walk cycle, by adding more points of articulation to the knees so i can assure that he has a natural walk. i also linked the arms, head and body using a pick whip to imitate the movement of the body.
the briefcase, cane and monocle were all done int the same way, putting the image through photoshop and importing them into after effects with the bear, then placing them on the body part of choice and using the pick whip to imitate the movement of the bear so the prop looks natural.
