Kip: Walk Cycle

My own character, my own movement: a 24-drawing walk cycle in pencil, second year at Nemo.

Kip is a character I designed: long ears, a ringed tail and a scarf. Here he walks — one full cycle of 24 drawings shot on twos, two seconds at 24 fps, drawn by hand on paper and shot on the light table.

A walk is the hardest simple thing: weight passing from foot to foot, the rise and fall of the body, the tail and the scarf overlapping a beat later. On this site Kip walks as you scroll.
