Walk Cycle- Color Comp Educational Material

This fall I'm teaching an advanced animation workshop for the Kinetic Imaging department at VCU. Basically my class covers all aspects of traditional hand drawn animation production as well as it's integration into the digital age; all of this and how to do it on an extreme budget. I was invited by my friend deven to co-teach his "Intro to Animation" class on September 15th and this walk cycle is part of the lesson material. I'm covering how to shoot your frames with a consumer grade digital camera. How organize the number progression of the digital pictures into an image sequence in Adobe AfterFX. I'm also teaching how to clean up each frame, add color and a transparency field in a quick assembly fashion. As a bonus, I'm also covering how to make an animated shade layer which can be composited in After FX to make some kick ass shading.
