Lion locomotion tips
Lions should feel heavy, powerful, and controlled, not bouncy or nervous.
In a walk, use a steady four-beat rhythm. Keep the body fairly stable, with subtle shoulder and hip movement.
The shoulders are very important. Big cats have a rolling shoulder motion, especially when the front leg reaches forward.
The head and neck should feel heavy. The head can stay low and forward, with only small movement.
The paws land softly but with weight. Avoid foot slapping.
The tail follows the body with delay and helps balance turns. Do not make it too active unless the lion is alert or angry.
Dialogue shot polish
The body and the facial are both moving too much, need to clean it up and focus on pose to pose for now.
