mine - just tone the whole thing down a little (ie make the extremes of the leg poses less.... er extreme) and apply it to yours as a sort of base.

yes... if you watch that run anim a frame at a time (theres a program called virtual dub which is free that lets you scrub .avi's one frame at a time) you'll see how it works a little easier.
