Below is a ruff 14-frame run cycle I created based on the 8-frame example in Tony White's book. My aim here wasn't to create any particular effect but just to practice inbetweening and try different timings, in this case slowing the action down a bit. My result here is basically a slow-motion run but after watching it a bit, I imagined the character struggling to finish a race, out-of-breath. I'll be working on the chapter exercise next. It'll be my first performance-type piece: the character runs off the screen, walks back in, pauses and then runs off again.
