A run in four poses

Now that you understand how to animate a simple walk, let's go ahead and move…on to animating a run.…Now runs and walks are similar in that the character is propelling himself…forward with his feet, but they are different enough so that we should learn how…to animate a run separately.…So let's take a look at this basic run here. And as you can see, the…character is running forward.…Now the first thing you'll notice is that, well, a run is usually faster than a walk.…Walk may take 12 to 16 frames per step. A run may only take 4 to 8 frames per step.…

So a run is actually a faster pace.…Now if I go into this Perspective viewport, we can take a look at this a…little bit more closely.…Now the first thing is the character isn't just stepping from foot to foot.…Typically in a walk, you have at least one foot on the ground at any time.…But with a run, the character is actually leaping through the air.…So at this point in the run, the character is actually airborne;…he is off the ground, and then he hits the ground, cushions--so what's happening…
