BSA126 Bird, Cat, Dog, Horse.

Exporting in quicktime stopped working again because the videos export with a black background for some reason and this ment that you couldn't see the animations as they are drawn in black. 

Bird

My bird flight featured a flying seal, I'm not sure why. I enjoyed making the bird fly, although I had to do it twice because the first time I animated him flying backwards-or something weird. 

Dog

I used a reference to animate the dog walk before adding hair which made him look more homeless and mongrel-like. Then I felt a bit bad for the poor dog, it's probably a good thing that uploading it as an animation didn't work out, it's too sad. 

Horse

The Horse was fun to do because I like horses. I animated the walk first and then added in a cart because I had some extra time. The man on the cart was done a bit lazily and he sort of shrinks and grows with each frame, but it's not really about him anyway so I don't mind. The horse himself looks like he might be slightly lame but, at the same time, he is a cart horse so I could just say it was pre-planned because he has been overworked on the hard roads by the cruel cart driver.

Cat

I am pretty happy with the cat run, my only issue is there is a slight jump when the clip loops which I couldn't seem to fix. It's not too bad but not quite fluid. 

I liked doing the four-legged, animal animations the most-more than the two legged ones. I actually found them easier because I found it easiest to visualize the movements. For example, I found it easier to make the whole body (the head, hind, shoulders) move up and down with the movement of the legs when compared with the two legged movement cycles. Maybe because I've studied animals movements more than humans?
