Our first assignment within the Characterisation & Performance unit was to create a walk with a specific style or detail. After deciding on the style of walk we wanted we then went to the sports science facilities where we recorded ourselves performing our chosen walks from both front & side simultaneously to help give us a better idea of the timing and style. The simple application of 3 strips of reasonably priced masking tape was also a great help, as it instantly shows hip & shoulder positioning along with the curvature of the spine (if any). Below are some stills from the footage of my walk (unfortunately the video was too big to fit on this meager blog space.)
For my walk I tried to create a somewhat painful walk, like that of an old man with a damaged hip, therefore my weight would generally shift more to one side than the other, as it would be painful to exert too much on the bad leg. I also put a very soft twist on my left angle, to give the whole movement a much more awkward feel.
