Vanilla Walk

For this assignment we had to study a basic "vanilla" walk.  The first half of the assignment was to 'block' out each key pose on every 3rd frame.  This it to get us a generic starting point for a polished animation.  Then, we had to smooth out the gaps between the poses and create a believable walk.  (All the meanwhile thinking about hip rotation, up and down and forward movement, and even the toes landing at the proper time.)
