A Wonderful Animation That Captures the Rhythm of Different Gaits Used by Four Legged Animals

Animator and artist Stephen Cunnane created “Animal Gaits for Animators”, a really wonderful, informational animated video to show other animators the rhythm of the different forward movements that four-legged animals (quadrupeds) use, employing the animal’s footprints as a guide.

Animals walk weird… who knew?! This animated video helps breakdown animal gaits for animators, artists, or any old fan of studying creatures.
