Basic animation #6

Basic (cute!) walking zombie, and an interaction animation... (maybe eating some text + peeking behind object demo???)

I think that for the MVP (Minimal Viable Product) you can go with the idea of a zombie that goes and eats every appearance of the word "brain" (maybe in multiple languages?) could work :)

Cool, I agree. I'd work on some drafts and post them here.

@Tamary can we see some of the designs? I'd love to give you some feedback…

Hey! I've attached my drafts for the zombie's face- I thought it could be a good idea to have the zombie's face divide into a static part (top) and a dynamic part (bottom, jaw). I prepared two style options and also played with having a girl zombie too.

I also tried mapping out the basic arms movement.. What do you think?

This is really nice looking. I wonder though, how it would look on a web page? I think size is crucial really, since the zombies need to be native to the web. And here's where the style issue matters as well. I think these sketches are going on a pretty vector/Flash-like aesthetic, which is in my opinion a bit less web-native, at least in comparison to let's say gif animation. I think there's room to maintain the trashiness of internet pop culture and maybe also consider the spatial metaphors of zombies taking over a web page. Are we looking at a plane from the side? Are we looking at it from above? How would that work on different and generally uncontrolled design environments? I would consider looking at early computer games and 8bit design for some possible possible inspiration. Let me know if this makes sense and is helpful at all. @yuvadm feel free to jump in.

Thanks Mushon, it does makes sense. I will look at some inspirations and think it over - I'll update you when I have some more sketches to show :)
