Сharacter animation without scripts

This work was done during my academic internship, I was tasked with learning how to do full character animation, facial animation and character gait animation. However, I thought that gait would be too boring, so I decided to realize human and animal running. At the time of making this video, I was not yet familiar with rigging scripts, so this was a real challenge for me.
Backstage
After conceptualizing the video, I started searching for the necessary materials.
In my work I used free assets, which I later reworked to suit my needs.

At this stage I realized that the more complex a character is, the more complex his rig and the more difficult it is to prepare him for rigging.
I wanted to achieve more depth in the scene and showcase both long-range and close-up camera shots. So I had to break the background into layers to achieve the parallax effect  
Animation
Using the puppet's position lock tool, I was able to achieve a more flexible animation in combination with basic rotation and positioning. 
Thankfor like!
