(Due Friday, Oct 6th, 5pm)
- Submit a WIP playblast to Piazza by Friday 5pm. Include a description of what you are doing and any worries you might have. Give feedback to others' posts by Sunday.
- (Optional) Turn your walk cycle plan into a GIF and post it on Piazza. This doesn't have to have a high frame rate, just convert your poses from your plan drawing into a small GIF. You can either have your character stay in place or move across the image.

- How to Create a GIF Using GIMP (GIMP is a free program you can download if you don't have Photoshop)
