Planning The Walk With Character

After recording the walk at the sports science labs I took the edited footage and broke it down into individual frames, from this I was then able to thumbnail out both poses and timing, also making any other notes which may be useful when animating the final walk (for instance whether or not to exaggerate particular aspects of the walk to give it slightly more stylisation) I did not stick exactly to the frame rate of the live-action walk, as I felt this would be too close to rotoscoping, instead choosing to make it slightly quicker as the source one seemed in my opinion slightly too leisurely.

Below are my thumbnails and rough notes. I apologise for the chicken scratch handwriting and basic stickmen in advance.
