2:24- walk back & smaller (begin copy F 373) scale down by 2 per motion?
Overall going well, but I think with time constraint I need to just leave it as it is, because I feel that I wont be able to have the diagonal walk away done where it would look complete. Also, I don’t have diagonal guidelines at this time. So I think rather than add to the narrative I am going to go back now and focus on some details and add a background.
2:39- fill in character so that background doesn’t intersect the body
2:48- close gaps & fill

Final Proposal
A study on walk cycles.
We start by seeing a woman walking slowly in a trench coat, hat, scarf, boots. she looks around and enjoys the walk, very leisurely not a care in the world. We hear a beep. She looks down at her pocket, puts out a phone. We see the phone screen which reads something along the lines of “meeting- 10 minutes!” She returns the phone to her pocket and rushes away.
final project task list 11/14/17
