I had great fun creating this course: it’s a collection of monsters and aliens! The course shows different actions for each, some walks, some runs, sneaks, slithers and turns.
LYNDA: Animate Monsters & Aliens
LINKEDIN: Animate Monsters & Aliens
Here are some sample images. First up the entire family of horrors (click all images for larger version, with much greater detail):
I wanted to make the Frankenstein monster seem off balance and slightly toddler-like:
The Mummy is very stiff, but does a really nice anticipation on #13 and #25 into his prowl:
My favourite is the skeleton/zombie walk, as it uses leading actions to create a jagged undead movement:
And an anatomy with no analog on Earth (that I’m aware of), to show how you can treat a creature with a very different anatomy:
There’s quite a bit more in the full course. I also show videos of the finished animation, and go into detail about the animation process.
