Arcs in animals: Dog walk



Slow motion animation reference video that I found on Youtube. It looks at the body mechanics of a dog as it walks. The movement of the legs have definite arcs and add realism if it was reproduced in animation. The curves as the paws turn show the movement distinctly with a notable feature being that the spine compacts slightly as the dog moves. follow through and overlapping action are also present on a few of the frames as the tail moves to reflect the dog's previous motions. The paws work in pairs and rotate accordingly as they circle around each other in an oval shaped pattern as visible near the end of the video.

I do not own this video.
