A simple procedural animation technique

Let's design some procedurally animated animals! This video is a tutorial/explanation for a simple procedural animation technique I recently learned about. Essentially, it's animation rigging using a 2D chain simulation. I provide an animated explanation of the technique, then showcase a few animals I animated with it.
