I realised I hadn't put up what I was using for reference for my dog walk. Most of my influence came from studying the first part of the video as it gave me a perfect profile view of a dog walk. It's easy to see the shape of the legs and the ups and downs of the chest, hips and head. I couldn't find any good reference of dog walks from a front view, so I filmed my cat to get the body mechanics right for the feet curls and arcs. For the rotations I spent a lot of time watching lectures (copyrighted so I can't put here) and really breaking down what was happening, even more so than my planning. My cat was also blessed with my presence more often as I gazed at his walk pattern endlessly.

It kind of looks like he's limping, likely due to too much movement in the neck, but also bad video editing as I was having issues rendering the cycles correctly. I've still got one more week of polish on this, then it's onto our final assignment for the term XD
