Fred & Co
Minneapolis creative studio Fred & Co needed to get their mascot in motion. I took their incredible character and brought it to life in this short and fun walk cycle.
To help Fred & Co show off their work, I followed the lead of the “rubberhose” style character design and created movement to reinforce the vintage feel.

Before I get into the software, I typically try to get pencil on paper, or at least the digital equivalent. In this case, I made a quick and dirty walking sample to get the pacing and weight of the character down. This helps me to slow down and understand the subject better and I can get quick feedback from my client before spending too much time on something that isn't quite right for the character.

Specific movements are best done by hand for an organic feel
