Sorry for the quality loss. iTunes decided to crash during it's last update which limits After Effect's ability to export movies properly.
Follow Through and Overlapping Action basically helps to make something look more realistic in that it looks like it's obeying the laws of physics and such more. The most common example when learning this principle is the ears or jowls of a dog because they're so floppy.
In particular, with the jowls of a Dog, I've actually had someone come up to me to say that Dogs purposely open and close their mouths while running for some reason. This is obviously untrue, but I think the problem was they mistook the moving jowls for mouth movement where actually, the jowls just flop about.
This particular example has been heavily exagerated. As a secondary action, this can help to show the strain of running and energy of the character or show off a more goofy cartoony side to some dog characters.

Turn on Annotations for best results.
The latest version of GIMP as of this time is 2.8. However, I find it to be a bit cumbersome to use so I still prefer version 2.6. Older versions of GIMP are still available, 2.6 is still downloadable here:
https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gimp/v2.6/windows/
Ive been meaning to do something like this for a long time - a tutorial on GIMP that covers the software itself because as with all drawing applications, the drawing part comes from you, the Artist.
For those of you who might be putting off trying animation because your software sucks, GIMP is free to download and use. With this video showing you how, theres no excuse for you to put off trying to create an animation anymore =p GIMP is one of the main drawing applications which I use as is seen on the vast majority of my videos.
Here, I cover some of the basics of GIMP for anyone who would be unfamiliar with it or just started out trying to use it. The tutirial is primarily Animation focused, so theres a few tips on the basic brush dynamics, creating a sequence of layers, using Opacity for Onion Skin and finally, exporting an animated GIF.
In future, Id like to do more tutorials on GIMP and other stuff like Flash and After Effects where rather than creating short GIFs, actual videos are made instead as well as a Traditional Animation video too.
I am open to suggestions on topics to cover, but the main topics I want will be the more technical ones, where its to do with the software and not How to draw [insert species of animal] type tutorials.
Im drawing on GIMP 2.6.10.
