Walking test 'cuz I'm new to brickfilming.' Not the best animation, but I'll improve. ![]()
Not bad, but the arms need to move a bit more and his torso was rocking back and forward a little.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.
That was good, except you should probably use a higher frame-rate. Was that 10 FPS? 15 is good.

It was 12. Alright, I'll do 15 next time.
Perhaps you should try this on a larger set?

best walk cycle ever!!!
Nathan Wells, never struck me as an impressive animator, just an impressive set builder.
Yes, it looks like an okay animation. The camera placement was a bit odd, and made it hard for me to see the actual animation. I too agree with RealBrick. Nathan Wells animation was okay, but his best section was set building and story.
It's not the 4 or 5 frame walk cycle as both the ones seen above, it's a 7 frame walk cycle. Longer in time- but better in quality. Here's an example of a 7 frame walk cycle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gziA0myDK9M

Why are you all hijacking Thunderbolt's thread?

nathan wells does not follow the ease in/eases out technique so wonderfully described by fancy pants, but I really like his walk cycle.

I'm not hijacking his thread, I'm simply saying that if he tried a 7 frame walk cycle, the outcome would appear nicer. Then I just showed and example of what a 7 frame walk cycle appears as. It's not that big of a deal.
