Starting Dog Animation work!


Found this lovely new FREE rig on creative crash and got inspired again :)



It's been a long while because I've been working on Guardians of the Galaxy but my time is starting to free up again.  In celebration (and completely not doing the normal thing of planning a holiday), I'm going to have another crack at animating dogs - my Achilles heel so far. 

I have loads of nice little ideas for dog animation, something grabbing it's attention, sniffing around a tree, running after a fake ball throw etc etc
But my usual problem is I try to skip ahead to the fun nitty gritty animation before getting my base work done and planning.  I'm going to re-familiarise myself with dog walks and runs first.

So, I give you - planning!!!

I've compiled a bit of reference, some inspiration, some real life footage, some good old Muybridge ref:







And just plenty of inspiring 4-legged work here :)
