Stretch and yawn

An animal on four legs stretches: a long bow at the front with its head up, sleepy, then it stands and stretches its back legs out behind.

What it is for

A dog getting up from a nap, a cat bored of waiting. It is what Yawn, Bored and Relieved play on four legs.

The principle it shows: two ends, one at a time

An animal stretches one end at a time: first the front (the same shape as a play bow, held long, the head up and the eyes sleepy), then it comes up and pushes the back legs out behind it, and stands again.

      look sleepy

0 s — torso 0, front legs 0, forearms 0, head 0, tail 0, back legs 0, the face sleepy.
0.5 s — torso -40, front legs 45, forearms 25, head -30, tail 20.
1.3 s — torso -40, front legs 45, forearms 25, head -30.
1.8 s — torso 6, front legs 0, forearms 0, head 0, back legs -35.
2.3 s — back legs 0, torso 0, tail 0.

Try this

Take 0.9 s over its first change instead of 0.5 s: a slower stretch and yawn.
In the program: ramp · over 0.5 → 0.9
Turn the body's tilt to -52 instead of -40: a bigger stretch and yawn.
In the program: ramp · to.part:torso -40 → -52

How it differs from the others

Play bow is the same front shape, quick and happy: an invitation, not a stretch.

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, back legs, tail, ears
