Week 9 Dailies - Bring planning and audio file for 2 character dialogue, share any new work on 'Extension' animation to trot cycle

When you are following a reference for complex movement such as a horse changing gait, or coming to a stop, there are no real in betweens.  There are extremes where things change direction, but every frame is important.  Not to say you have to key every single frame in a scene. 

When analyzing your reference, look for the extremes for the up and down movement of the hips and chest, and for where each foot touches the ground, then leaves the ground. If necessary, make thumbnail drawings of your reference in order to analyze it and help in planning out your animation. The primary actions often have to be broken down on 2s or 4s.
