During this process, I have been using Digital Tutors to help guide me when I hit a wall. Like I mentioned before, if you have access to it--I highly recommend downloading project files and following along with the tutorials. This definitely has aided me with this panther run cycle.
Last week while I was working on a cycle for a biped, I somewhat concluded that blocking out poses didn't work as well for a simple walk. WRONG. Animating straight ahead isn't an absolute remedy either.
Straight ahead animation is the only option when working with stop motion puppets. In 3D, there needs to be a balance of both. Following the tutorial helped me (once again) break some habits.

Glad I checked this out. Although I no absolutely nothing about what your talking about.....it's all very very interesting and inspirational for my daughter Lanlan. I'm sure when she sees this she will think it's way cool..........
