In this simple animation using Macromedia Flash, a dog chases a frisbee across the landscape before catching it.
In the live-action sequence, our dog "Tucker" is in mid-stride chasing the thrown aerial disc. Several images like this were used to determine the placement of her head, body, legs and tail as she runs.
After drawing her "parts," each was connected to the body using virtual joints in Moho Animator. Each body segment can then be individually or group manipulated to create the realistic running effect.
Thanks to Tony and Tucker for the hard work required to put this together.
