  Horse Walk Cycle - Photoshop Animation
  
  This short animation of a horse walking is based on Eadweard Muybridge's Animals in Motion, and was done in Photoshop. It was a fun exercise I did primarily to study the structure and anatomy of a horse, and to experiment with Photoshop as an animation tool, rather than to practice animation per se.
