(Easing In and Out)
Hmm...all of those were a little choppy. What's your framerate? And you need to ease in and out on every single movement. It looks like you need to turn on your manual focus, too.
Off topic, but minifig, do you mind letting us see some of your animations, you seem pretty knowledgeable in animation techniques.
I haven't released anything yet, but I used them in the film I'm working on now. coolasice11 has an thread in the Production section that I helped write, which includes some techniques that others have forgot. Lego9663 Studios, you should check out that thread too.
Yes I'm aware of the techniques since you originally wrote them in our lifelike animation thread (thanks by the way.) I just want to see some of your animation.
Back on topic, Lego Studios, I don't think that you should have an 'ease in and out' test being that you should use easing in and out in everything. Even in walking and masking.
(Off topic one more time, sorry in advance)
I plan to finish and release the film I'm working on this month. The animation in the beginning isn't that good, but when it gets to the point where I started to ease in and out, it's much better.
Cool, looking forward to it! 
Maybe the masking one needs more frames.

Also the walk cycle was to fast that's why it looked like a run cycle.
