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)

Hi Linda
ReplyDeleteIt would be helpful to be able to scrub the videos, I know that you don't control the video players but just a thought. Also, can you post larger versions of the videos? I can see there is a frame counter but I can't read it.

Nevermind. I found the "original source" button at the bottom of the blog to download the playblast video.
