Smilez – Run & Jog Cycle Animation Test

A looping run cycle animated with the Smilez character rig.

The animation was designed to read differently depending on playback speed:

• At 12fps it reads as a relaxed jog
• At 24fps it reads as a faster run

This exercise focuses on rhythm, weight, and creating a clean looping cycle that works at multiple speeds.

Animated in Toon Boom Harmony.

Smilez was created and rigged by Jordan Beatty.
