I've been watching a few videos on animating Lego mini figures to run, so I thought I'll give it a go

Please watch in HD.
I also tried panning for the first time, so any feedback would be great. Thanks!
Not bad! The motion was actually very good, but I think it should be a bit faster, as it doesn't really feel like he is really running. Also, the way the frames blend together and have a sort of "onion-skin" look is somewhat distracting and displeasing in my opinion. You've got a nice run cycle down though. Just speed it up a bit and I think you'll be good. The pan tracked the motion pretty good, but I would suggest giving the character some lead room in the frame. This simply means to have some area in front of the man when framing and not have the figure so close to the edge of the frame in the direction that he is moving. Hope some of that helps.
Thanks! I'll try improve those areas for my next animation The only question I have is how would I get rid of the 'onion-skin' look in my next animation?
