Movement cycles

Check out Domarius' animation reference footage

idleworm tutorial 2D walk cycle, contains useful info about focusing on contact points and recoil.

centre for animation & interactive media tutorial A variety of very different walk cycles, which can be viewed by rolling over with the mouse.

anticz tutorial Nice simple breakdown, re-affirming what's learnt in the previous links.
