Cat and Dog Locomotion

A sequence of images depicting the movement of cats and dogs frame by frame.

Cat and Dog videos

I took some quick video footage of cat and dogs on my mobile phone, I'm happy that the dog video shows the dog's movement quite clearly, however the cat was quite awkward to film.

Gif animation - Bird flight cycle

Using the prior bird flight cycle drawings as reference, I composed my own quick flight cycle as a looped GIF animation. I wanted the bird to follow the flight patterns aswell, despite it being jerky, I'm happy with the wing movement - with refinement and better software I could create a smoother cycle.

Museum

 

At the Museum I observed a range of creatures - I could observe how birds and animals from all over the world vary vastly in size and anatomy in order to be suited to their environments - even animals that are closely related had slight differences due to their different habitats. No quadruped or bird is likely to move in the same fashion - I.e sloth compared to a cat. I also explored animals that fly other than birds, such as insects and bats. I looked at animal skeletons to better understand their anatomy.
