Hey guys,
Here's the walker for Henry, it's already sized so the only thing you need to do is merge it to your scene, uncheck the take when you're importing and it will work fine to constraint it.

Henry meets the nurse in the hallway. He stops and turns his head to look at her. All of a sudden, he remembers that he has to pee. So he starts to run to the bathroom.
