When it comes to communicating a character's personality, animators have plenty of tricks up their sleeves to get the message across. Body language is one of the most effective ways to express what a person is feeling, but studying how people hold themselves is difficult in real life. After all, you wouldn't ask an angry person to hold their pose a little longer while you capture what their rage looks like.
To get around this problem, stop-motion animator Kevin Parry decided to film himself imagining how emotions and characteristics affect the way a person walks. Originally intended as an animation reference, this video has found a broader audience thanks to Parry's hilarious interpretations of timeless moods like 'sassy', 'sore back' and 'secret run'.
