Progress 

Vanilla walk 

Fig 1.1 Results from Tutorial in class

Timing is set on 3. 

Fig 1.2 Adding cycle 

Fig 1.3 shoulder

Editing the shoulder by using graph editor 

Fig 1.4 arms 

Fig 1.5 Arms dragging

By using graph editor to make the dragging consistent and smooth. The entire walk cycle will be smoother. 

Fig 1.6 Adjust lighting 

Fig 1.7 Speed problem

After importing the footage into AE, I realise the the motion was very fast, but it was the correct in-between frame which is 3 suggested by Mr.Kamal. However, it was too fast, so i changed the in-between frames to 4. 

Attitude walk 

Fig 2.1 Making extreme poses

First, I marked all the extreme poses first before I move on to the breakdowns. 

Fig 2.2 Adjust first spine bone 

Fig 2.3 Cleaning up graph

At first I realised, the arms' motion were very weird, then when i edited it in the graph, it got smoother. The graph shape was horrible before. 

Fig 2.4 Biggest problem

After hours of finding the wiggle problem, I finallly found it from the spine chest!!! The graph was so weird.
