I was wondering if you were actually going to make a serious effort about this. Keep it up.

If it wasn't for that little snappy uneased movement on the first jump I'd say it was pretty much perfect.
(accept for the massive realism problems and the choppy cam)

In the four months since you joined you've made 21 pivot threads. It's not a real problem, but a lot of them could comfortably have been melded into one. You have at least four, for instance, which appear designed as threads for you to put all your animations in but which never get updated. Just try to be more careful with when a thread is necessary, and if something can go into an already existent thread, put it there ;)

The animation is fairly nice, but I think you need to extend the legs a bit more each stride.

So let me get this straight. You have 100 out of 1000 frames done, and you're 26% done?

if you have 100 frames and it's going to be about 1000, then you are about 10% done, not 26%. Just sayin'
on the animation, I think you should move his orange dot more, it doesn't look good if you just move the BG.

I think you should do some more practice with running before you try and do a long animation. Interesting concept, but you'll be much more satisfied with it later on if you improve a bit more before you use that concept

In particular, you need to move the orange dot up and down as the guy moves. People don't run like a vehicle on wheels, they bounce up and down because of the movement of the legs. Which you also have wrong.

What a strange run, It's obvious your not going for realism so I take back my original post. It's interesting and I'd like to see the next update.
