So I'm in the process of stepping out my animation, as you can see from the video below. I've nearly finished keyframing the major poses now, just need to add in when she runs into the door.
And I'm just going to be using 2 simple camera angles, that you can see in the youtube video above.
Still adding a few poses in to the animation, I changed a pose as I thought it would be more comedic if she ran into the door and fell straight onto the floor and then just watched the other waitress walk past kind of laughing.

Amy's Walk Cycle
Whenever animating I always like to start with the basics, so I can decide how a character will walk and express their selves through body language.
So I want, Amy, to have quite a sassy walk because I've put her power center in her hips, so I've been looking at a few walk cycles just on YouTube but I've came across this one and the girl on the left in the white seems to have a matching walk style.
The key poses of my walk cycle, I like to just focus on the legs first makes things easier.

The Beginning
So I'm in the process of creating a short animation which will be 20-30 seconds long.
I wanted to create something funny with a lot of character.
So here is my rough storyboards for my short.
So my story if you can't guess it from the storyboards, is about a waitress and she's on her way back to the kitchen with some dirty plates. She goes to push the kitchen door open and it doesn't open so she's a bit confused why and gives it another push, it still doesn't open. So she goes over to the bar on her left places down her plates and goes for another go at the door, this time she puts much more force into it and does a little run up. The door still doesn't open and shes left standing there stranded with a throbbing shoulder, then another waitress walks past and casually pushes the door open effortlessly, the first waitress is then overcome with embarrassment because of her lack of strength.
A Quick Character Profile:
Name: Amy
Age: 18
Power Center: Hips
Ambition: She wants to be a doctor
Background: Shes a bit of a dreamer, a foodie, her favourite thing about working at the restaurant is that the chefs always leave her a piece of cake for after her shift
