Studio 1: Folio 2. Tightrope (Draft 2, V2)

The tightrop walker emerged from an earlier idea (started in Folio 1) in which charatcers attempt to climb a mountain (pyramid). Though I lost interests in the overall sequence I did want to keep working with the character's movement. I rotoscoped my stop motion footage from Folio 1 to capture the ungainly walk which in turn led toplacing the character on a tightrope (following feedback). The rope needed refinement (too soft initially) and I used the exercise to experient with some of the vector tools in TVPaint. The new context requires additonal movements to convey unsteadiness, danger etc and the peculairity of the original gait has been lost. Further work required.
