Just a quick post

AMAZING!
A fox hunting in the snow:



I won’t bore people with lots of analysis, just thought I would share this since its so cool… and crazy.
What an interesting action. Also, notice the actions of the tail… unlike any tail movements I’ve seen on any animation reels – but then again, most of the time those animations are all about overlap and not about using the tail for balance and throwing your weight.

    Well, I thought I commented on this a long time ago, but I guess I did not. I just wanted to say that this is great reference. I am currently animating a dog and notice it is so easy to want to continue that spine movement through the tail, but it is so interesting to notice that in life, the tail has a motivation of its own, seperate from the body. I’ll have to see if I can’t incorporate this in a test soon. Thanks for your observations Jacob.

    that fox obviously doesn’t understand anything about correct tail overlap!
