Pan shot of forest and character walk animation tests

Continuing with tests, I went and made animation tests in the forest setting. First trying out the character walk. The actress playing the antagonist, Juno, is illustrated walking across hand cut paper leaves. The shot will be near the beginning of the short film as a suggestion a person creeping up on the protagonist, Callisto. I was able to capture and make several videos. However, in some the lighting wasn't quite right and the sun moved whilst photographing the sequence. I particularly like the addition of shadows in the animation as it gives creepy feel to the shot, ideally to make the audience feel uncomfortable. i will need to re-shoot the walk animation as there are not enough frames per second and it looks a little rushed...

 Close-up shot of the walk. You can also spot the shadow trailing behind. However, I think this walk is too goofy for the character of Juno. This is first that you see of this character. I want her to be taken seriously as a villain. Taking up stereotypes that Vlamdir Propp demonstrates in his character role theory. 

This is a wider view of the walk. I think this walk is more appropriate. Although the end of the animation makes it look like the character breaks into a run which defeats the point of the character 'creeping up' on Callisto.

I think this walk is the most appropriate for the character but it needs to be longer. I think around the 4 second time span would allow the audience to take in the shot and process it.

The second experiment I undertook was making the animation for the opening credits of my film. The shot pans the forest surroundings to introduce the setting of the narrative. Later, I will overlay a type animation that I will make with paper. This will automatically combine the two elements of my work process 3D paper illustration and film footage like animation. Similar to the walking tests I undertook, the animation seems rushed. I even found that when I looked over the animation it made me feel ill, not exactly the introduction I wanted to give my audience. I need to re-made these, taking more photographs in the sequence to give the impression of someone taking a look round the surroundings.
