Running Barsoi Animation - second try...
This is my first try on an animation... Finally I got it. But OMG its too big !!! That's not really good-looking... I think I have to change this.

Looks pretty good. Quite good for a first animation! :D
A few things I've noticed:
1. Front Leg farthest from the viewer, pauses in mid arch downward. At some point you have a tween too close to another tween.
2. Look at the tail and watch the movement. The tail follows almost a straight line and bobbles between the highest point to the lowest with maybe one good tween between the starting place (highest point the tail reaches) and the ending place (the lowest place the tail comes to when nearly tucked between the legs). A good method of fixing this is watching your arcs. All things organic, tend to move with an arc - think of Da Vinici's Peruvian Man.
3. Watch your volumes. What I mean by volumes, is keeping everything consistent with shape. Think of silly puddy. You can roll it into a ball, you can bounce it, and you can stretch it, but the entire time is has the same volume. It doesn't grow larger, and it has a breaking point if you stretch it. Sometimes the tail and the back haunch seem to 'grow'.
4. The back legs look amazing, but the front half of the dog when the chest goes down needs to have a bit more weight added to it. Fixing it is pretty easy by exaggerating the movement of the entire front hunching down just a little bit further.
5. The ears should be waving more. Think of a flag in the wind. Dog ears do the same thing when running this fast.
6. The head moves up and down in an almost 75 degree angle. That's great, but you still need to add in that arch. The neck stretches out further, reaching forward and then pulling back with the momentum of the movement. At the moment the head movement looks more like a mechanic up and down movement.
These are LITTLE things. I means SERIOUSLY LITTLE compared to the leaps and bounds you made with this as your first animation. 4 legged runs and walks are the BANE of many an animator's existence and you've done a FABULOUS job for your first attempt.
If you're looking to get further into animation I'd suggest picking up a copy of Richard Williams Animators Survival Kit, Preston Blair's Animation, and The Illusion of Life by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston - of course if you already have any of those titles, all the more power to you!
Good luck and I can't WAIT to see more work like this! Absolutely SMASHING job!

Danke !
Aber ich muss noch anfügen, dass mir diese Animation wohl nicht gelungen wäre, ohne Eadweard Muybridge's (komischer Name...) grossartige Photographien als Vorlage. ^_______^ Kennst du den ? Wenn nicht, musst du mal nen Blick in sein Buch "Animals in Motion" werfen.

Ich hatte ein Foto-Seminar letztes Semester und da haben wir einige seiner 'Bilder-Reihen besprochen! Zum beispiel war er es doch, der bewiesen hat, dass es beim Gallop des Pferdes einen Moment gibt, wo alle vier Hufe vom Boden abheben.
JA, das sind natürlich gute Vorlagen. Kann man das Buch irgendwo bestellen? Ich hätte es sehr gern.

Ich habe es, glaub ich, bei Thalia bestellt. Diese Buchhandel-Kette gibts meines Wissens auch in Deutschland oder ?
Ich würde vorschlagen, du klapperst mal alle Buchandlungen ab. Irgend eine muss dieses Buch führen bzw. bestellen können.
Ich denke, auch per Internet kannste es bestellen. Hab ich bei Thalia auch so gemacht.
Oder bei ebay !

Meine Fresse! ... Entschuldige bitte den Ausdruck, aber dies ist ein kleines Meisterwerk! Ich bin viel zu selten auf dieser Seite, deshalb sehe ich es eben zum ersten Mal!
Wirklich großartig! Das Fell, das Gesicht, einfach zum knuddeln. Und diese wunderschöne fließende Bewegung! Wirklich traumhaft und gleichzeitig über die Maßen realistisch!
