Bricks in Motion
We are a friendly filmmaking community devoted to the art of stop-motion animation using LEGO® and similar construction toys. Here, you can share your work, join our community of other brickfilmers, and participate in periodic animation contests!
A place to discuss, share, and create stop motion films.

I recently watched a few videos of people using 24FPS running and walking, I liked the motion but I can't really animate it correctly does anyone that uses 24FPS know how to do this, because you should. 
You have to take more pictures then what you usually take at 15fps. It will look a lot more natural then using 15fps.
I think he meant the movements.
Try ask CrazyEd or Mobiledeli. 
I did a 24fps walk cycle and a 24fps run cycle not long ago. Maintaining a consistent body angle to keep the head somewhat level is very important. And it's tough to get the minifig to sit right on the studs in all those in between frames. A frame capture program (like Dragon) that allows you to toggle live feed and your previous frame is extraordinarily helpful when working with such small increments.
Here's a breakdown of the frames.
Oh, it's freaking cool Samwise. Wow, I'll try this, it's look so so good. Wow, but so many pics and wow, how can you do that. I usually use only 5 pics or something like that. Wow, that's very cool! Very well done, Samwise. You're one of my favourite animators of all time. I think the best is mobdeli, then GrazyEd, then some Finnish guy called VHtuotanto, then you and then I think Keshen8 or someguy. Cool!
If you guys really want, someday I'll show you how I animate walking and running at 24 fps.

I would like that.

DO THAT!!!!
Yes, please!

Just add more frames by making him slide in the middle, and for the first frame don't lift his leg, turn the torso a bit so it's like he's about to lift his leg.
Yes GrazyED, do it!

No.
I'd just stick to 15 FPS, it seems to look the best when filming a walk cycle

good pictures:)
*BUMP*
Running at 24 fps.
As I promised a few months ago, here is another 24 fps run cycle. It consists of 9 frames.
3rd - 8th frame: You need to put some plasticine under minifigure's standing leg.
This run cycle is not easy to animate. If you try for the first time, you may have some troubles with this.
Samwise explained everything very well:

I hope these pictures helped you somehow.
If you need another video or pictures with better quality, let me know.

That is the best run cycle ever, CrazyEd! 
Very nice GrazyED. I love it! Maybe I would try it.
I think 15fps is the best when it comes to brickfilms. For one, it a lot faster to film at 15fps, then at 24fps. Second, 24fps look to life like to me. I think that they should look more like there Lego, not like there real life. And third, most brickfilms are filmed(at least I think) at 15fps then at 24fps. I think because it's a lot faster to film then 24fps(as I said before).
