Manfred Ragossnig | Character Animator

Walking is a process of falling over and catching yourself just in time. We try to keep from falling over as we move forward. If we don’t put our foot down, we’ll fall flat on our face. We’re going through a series of controlled falls.
We lean forward with our upper bodies and throw out a leg just in time to catch ourselves. Step, catch. Step, catch. Step catch.
