Looking back at week one's walk cycle I managed to adjust the movements. I adjusted the distance of the feet and the head placement to create a bit more exaggeration onto the walk cycle. I also sped up the frames as she walked quite fast and added more swing onto her arms. The mistakes I should think about next time is the head and feet placement as that really brings out the body language. Although, I'm happy with the after results as I got to go back and fix my mistakes. I think the animation walk cycle really matches the reference image.

The old lady pushing the trolley video is taken from YouTube, the camera view wasn't the best. I also used Premiere to get the individual images as well. However, I slowed down the video to get a better understanding of her movement. I found this exercise difficult, the way she walks, volume and weight. Since she is wearing quite baggy clothes it was more challenging for me. I noticed her legs didn't have as much flexibility and it was more of a stiffed legged walk, she had to sort of put her whole weight on one side to be able to lift her other leg.

Here is my attempt of a walk cycle of the old lady, I was focusing on the legs and how her upper more changes during the walk cycle. I'm quite happy with the outcome as I think the legs look quite similar to the video. Something I could have improved is when she leans forward, her upper body and arms moves forward which forces the trolley to move. If I adjusted these parts the walk cycle would have looked a lot better.

I used Toon Boom Harmony trial version, and I'm getting more familiar with the software. After doing a normal walk cycle and the old lady walk cycle, I have a much better understanding. I used to have trouble with the up and down motion, since these two poses makes a huge difference and makes the character more dynamic.
