Run Cycle Keyframes
These two videos are the keyframes of a run cycle. They are the same except for the first is taken at a 3/4 front view and the second from the side.

Run, Trip and Fall
Idea #4: Man is running from an over-zealous female stalker. He turns his head to look over his shoulder, trips over a rock, falls flat on his face, gets back up and runs away. I particularly like this one. I referenced the run cycle from Richard Williams' The Animator's Survival Kit page 177. I added the head turn, the trip, the faceplant and getting back up. If I decide to do this one, I will have to record myself or someone else brave enough to attempt this action.

Buford The Bully
This is Buford the Bully, a cockateil character I modelled in Maya 2008. I scanned real cockateil feathers into Photoshop CS2, adding an alpha channel around them. Once in Maya, they were textured onto polygon planes. The alpha channel masks the shape around the feather. There are about 2,350 feathers on his head, 1,175 of them I placed individually. The rest were duplicated and placed on the other half. For about a week, I dreamed about feathers! Lol!
