Raccoon
I then wanted to look at the
raccoon and how this can be applied to him as well. This wasn't as
necessary as the raccoon doesn't actually move. But I wanted to show
that I could create one anyway. For this I first looked at the actual
movement of a raccoon when there on all fours as it shows a great
comparison to how slow they move until they are running away from
something. I actually found a very good video that demonstrates the
movement of a raccoon on all fours, which to me looks quite awkward and
strange as there front legs don't look long enough to hold them up. But
the end shows the raccoon running away on its hind legs holding a
handful of cat food, which to me is brilliant. This humour involved in
this scene make our raccoon even better as you can imagine this is what
he did when stealing the food.

I
then wanted to look quickly at Meeko from Pocahontas as he has a
brilliant character and is humourous and exciting to watch as he does
things which appear stupid but are creatively funny. I also like the way
he moves, traditional to a raccoon but then has moments where that all
goes out the window and he'll do something random like dive off a cliff
into water. But this is the kind of humour we want from our raccoon and
also use this way of the raccoon walking.

Below is the test for the raccoon walk cycle which I am very happy with,
we managed to get it in a higher quality than the platypus test and it
looks really good. For this animation Stuart was mainly in charge I just
helped if he needed it and offered advice on how the animation should
look, but overall I really like the final result as it looks like it can
go straight into the final animation.
