Dog Motion Test

Here's a motion test I've done on a super simple level to try to understand the movement of the running dog. It's based on Muybridge's Whippet double suspension gallop. That means that the animal is not touching the ground twice within the gait. I'm hoping it'll be suitable for the cowboy/dog scene.

Things to remember about dog/animal motion can be found here.

Here's a 3D test of the same type of gallop done with the standard Animation mentor dog rig.
