In this reel, Edward Kurchevsky walks through a simple but super useful exercise of animating a tail.
The goal is straightforward: the tail follows the character’s movement with a slight delay. This is overlap in action — when parts of a body or details don’t move all at once, but naturally lag behind.
Why it’s so effective? A tail is the perfect tool to practice smooth, believable motion. Once you master it, you can apply the same principle to hair, clothing, ears, or any «living» part of your character.
