I decided not to use the walk cycle from the side view as I thought from research that

the walk cycle view looking/walking towards the screen looked a lot better and would suit the style of

my animation better.

First I began designing backgrounds for my animation I wanted to have 4 different backgrounds of different places, first one to be of buildings in the background.

I want to keep the backgrounds quote plain and simple, so just use of block colours no gradients or shadows I think this will give a good effect.
