Week 2 ROOT BLOCKING, FEET PLACEMENT

Comparing the walk with the trot, canter and run. See how these gaits either have:

1. More Diagonal feeling in the total of the legs

2. More fold up or bend in the legs

3. More instants when the animal is completely in mid-air

In the trot the horse is completely in mid-air twice during each cycle. Opposite legs tend to imitate each other. No other gait has so much symmetry.

The keys are 1 (down) / 5 (up) / 9 (down) / 13 up

On the other keys 3 / 7 / 11/ 15 Body is 1/3 closer to top keys 5 and 13

To slow down the cycle to 18 frames instead of 16, add 2 drawings

between 4 and 5 (up) and 12 and 13 (up)
