Run Cycle Influences

What inspired my run cycle was a piece of wonderful animation. It is a music video - 'LET LOVE BE YOUR ENERGY' By Robbie Williams ........ Check out the video with the link below ........

ANYHOO... for those who dont press the link (shame on you, the animation is quality) then here are some stills from the piece...

The animation in this piece is very exaggerated, the run cycle is very bouncy yet powerful, with strong arm movements. The pace is very fast and is very effective. The bottom picture on the right is an image of 'Robbie' landing after a jump. I will use this as reference when animating my character. The character in the music video also runs through different environments i will use this as reference to see how he reats with the different environments.
