Storyboard and Animation Tests

I love animals, so naturally I must animate them. Here's a Doberman (model and rig used from this talented guy.) I've started off with a simple run cycle, though now that I've gotten the hang of the rig, I'd like to move on to more fun things (doing tricks, playing fetch, chasing down robbers, etc.)

Here's a very quick 10-minute storyboard that I sketched out to get the dog's basic poses. I took these from a couple of Youtube videos I found.

First animation test, nothing spiffy, just rendering out from different angles.

Second animation test, probably something close to the final. I want to do a bit of extra camera work in Maya and give him some basic environment to be running in.

That's it for now. Must return to homework :(
