Animating the ball rig

I downloaded the ball rig from moodle and began animating with this before animating with my own model. I made three walk cycles and a run cycle, which looks like it's running on the moon almost, which fits in well with my E4 project work. The first few steps were a little tricky, but after that the rest was easy as it was just following the past movements of the feet. I first made the body bob up and down the moved the feet accordingly.

With the run, I had to make sure that both feet were off the ground at the same time, otherwise it's just be another walk. I have learnt how to animate a model using controller and a rig instead of the actual model itself. It is something I'd like to know more of and learn.
