Point (four legs)

An animal on four legs points as a pointer dog does: nose forward and level, one front paw lifted with the paw folded back, its tail straight out behind. It stays so.

What it is for

A dog showing you where something is. It is what Point and Shrug then point play on four legs.

The principle it shows: the whole body is the arrow

A pointer dog points with its whole body in one line: nose, neck and back straight toward the thing, the tail out behind, and one front paw lifted with its elbow up and the paw folded back at the wrist, held still.

    — 7:
      glide torso 0 over 0 s
      glide torso -4 over 0.4 s
  wait 1 s

0 s — head 0, neck 0, tail 0, front right leg 0, right forearm 0, right hand 0, torso 0.
0.4 s — head -4, neck -18, tail -55, front right leg 55, right forearm -55, right hand 100, torso -4.

Try this

Take 0.7 s over its first change instead of 0.4 s: a slower point (four legs).
In the program: ramp · over 0.4 → 0.7
Turn the head to -5.2 instead of -4: a bigger point (four legs).
In the program: ramp · to.part:head -4 → -5.2

How it differs from the others

Paw wave lifts a paw too, sitting, and waves it.

Works on

The two in the film above, and what the move turns on each: worked out by the build, which plays the move on each body and checks what moves. Nobody types this table.
Who	Moves?	What moves
Sunny (one of the six people)	yes	turns, body, head, arms
Grump (an animal on four legs)	yes	body, head, front legs, tail, ears
