Your assignment will be the animation of a female walk done either by animating on the same rig I employ during my course or one of your choice. The final result will be a video of your walk animation.

You can follow along by working with the free Zelda Rig from Christoph Schoch (try here, too), and you can use the attached frame sequence Zip archive as an image plane in Maya.

These video references are a good place to start from:

Feet from behind slow motion
Feet from side slow motion
Hips from behind
Girl walk, the same reference I employ in this video

Download and install freely available tools which will make your life easier, as well as some technical references:

Consider having a look at Richard William's the Animator Survival Kit for animation blueprints.

Unlike my example, your walk won't need to be rendered or put into an environment, since this course does not touch on rendering.
