The animator's survival kit, great book. They will have to pry it from my cold dead hands... Walks are hard, especially if you are trying to be sublime with your performance.

Actually, if you feel rusty you might want to do a ball bounce. A lot of animators do those from time to time as a warmup. In some film studios the animators will kill two birds with one stone- the animatics use a bouncing ball as a stand-in for frantic character movement. -
