Horse Run Cycle animation with an animated camera!

Wanted to play about with animating a camera so I could quickly post a compilation of all angles to post online as I'm going to quickly jump onto another project that has a deadline and then come back to the horse to make it jump over a fence at a later date.  As always, I'll update progress and WIPs here....

Horse is Running!!!

It could still do with one more pass but I'm quite happy with my output using the layers technique, it isn't suited for everything but I can definitely see the benefits for cycles.

Here's the run cycle with the global keyed in Translate Z and the muted versions also.  I think I may try to get the horse to jump over a fence next and if I'm brave enough - come to a halt.

Comments and critiques always welcome as long as they are polite and objective :)

Horse Run Cycle progress....

It's not going horribly wrong, the layering seems to be working for me which just a few kinks to figure out.
I think I'll move onto fixing everything from the front now as the legs need to go in and out and I want to work with the shoulder muscles more for a heavier feel...
