Accompany our beloved hero Cloud who's taking a day off to enjoy the green vastnesses beyond the gates of Midgar. Let's hope he doesn't step into a random battle!
Going back to basics using 'The Animator's Survival Kit', I made a walk cycle of Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII and some fancy backgrounds, so it's a bit more pleasing to watch.
And these three days were the must productive ones in my entire life.
Music: Final Fantasy VII - Main Theme (Piano Collections)
Program: Macromedia Flash 8 Professional
Tablet: Wacom Intuos P+T S
Microphone: Blue Snowball (Regular, not iCE)
Total Production Time: about 20 hours
You could have used a bit more frames for the walk animation, because the character movement is not as fluid as the background movement.
There is not much to see in the background except of sunset, so it is a bit boring to watch your movie the full 2 minutes.
But all in all it looks nice. Keep on working on your skills. There is a lot potential!
