Alternative lifestyle robots

Funny things can happen when you are animating in one perspective and then switch to another. I was animating a proxy of my robot for a walk cycle animation and had done most of the work in in the side view perspective. As you can see below the cycle looked fine from that view:
Side walk


But then I checked it out from perspective, (or in this case 3/4) view:
Front walk

...not exactly the kind of walk the assignment called for. A few adjustments were in order, but I saved the file with that particular walk. You never know when it might come in handy.
