As I mentioned in this previous post, I’m currently creating an animation to a music track as a university assignment.
I’ve been going through the motions of figuring out what medium(s) I’ll be using and how to go about the work.
One of my tests have been with Photoshop’s animation functions and a wacom tablet.
The idea behind this 6 seconds of animation is that the music is reminiscent of a sort James Bond spy track with the quick drumming. What you see here is a somewhat realistic movement of each of four limbs in a run cycle, with 20 unique frames. The ninja is moving in a bowed down posture and going fast enough to kind of bounce off the ground as he’s running.
Of course there is a lot to improve in terms of keeping the volume of each part of the body the same. It’s very difficult to keep how the character looks constant 
I will make another post soon with a quick tutorial on how to use Photoshop for animation.
