The much-anticipated tutorial on how to animate a walk cycle. Have patience! This isn’t an easy thing to master. The walk cycle can be modified into a run cycle, or a limp cycle, or even a march cycle.

* Note it comes in late so wait, it doesnt show the title page, and unfortunatly it doesn’t show the whole feature(it starts out in the middle) I did this in 2007 for a summer course in animation. The assignment was to do a 30-second piece that went along with a song; instead of trying to make a story I wanted to dance so i did a dance cycle to Earth, Wind, and Fire’s “Disco Inferno”. While doing this 300+ hand drawn piece, I timed the song and the motions of the dancer so that certain motions could match certain lyrics. I shot this as I usually shoot my animated pieces.
