Another bit of advice that helped me loads was to step away from the animation for a bit. I try and switch up the shots i'm working on to give my brain a break so I can see mistakes I made when I return to it.
Thank you ! I love how much I'm learning when all I need to do is make a pixel art character take 2 steps forward in 5 frames- it's like writing a sentence and learning 30 words on the side as a bonus !
Thanks for this. Learnt a few new things about walk cycle animation that I hadn't paid attention to before or I just overlooked. Please keep the character animation tutorials coming.
Had to model my first walk cycle for a 3D animation class I’m taking. This video was incredibly helpful! I knew about alternating arms and legs, but the rest of these tips were completely new to me and would have otherwise flown over my head!
It took several suggestions for me to actually take time to read your thumbnail and even then it took me being insecure with my animation to actually try this out. I could have missed out on a lot just because of a thumbnail😅
Very helpful, and amusing ways to express stuff. I'm quickly finding out how much a noob I am at all this, and it's fascinating! One thing, though .. next time, speak INTO the mic. What you are doing here is talking over the top of the mic. The flat part on the top as you have it is actually the front .. speak into this, and very close to it. .. the SM7 likes proximity, but is also very directional. Cheers!
thank you very much !!! volume of the video is very low .... i have to crank the volume up almost 90 to 100, and still low... really appreciate your effort !
I was looking at my animation trying to figure out why it looked so stiff and I just googled stiff walking animation and came up with this. Right at the beginning of the video, I realized my brain doesnt work and I had the arms moving in the same motion as the legs and not opposite. I flipped the keyframes on the arms and it looks 10x better right away....damn.
I still don't know how to walk correctly in real life lol i see most animation when character walking they don't like to show leg much i think because it's hard :/ or just teleporting cut and jump between the scene
I've now learnt how to move my legs and arms in real life thanks.
Best tutorial/guide for animating walk cycles. Doesn't focus too much on the technicalities and lets us learn the principles.

I can't tell you how many times our freelancers have got the arm and leg swings in the wrong order! My goodness. Great video!
I love the gradient on the background buildings @1:50
walk is a simple and hardest thing to do! THANKS a lot guy!
Wheel chair character:" I'm 4 parallel universes ahead you"
That's brilliant!
The sound is really quiet in this video. I had to set my volume in Windows from 5% to 100% to make it sound as loud as other videos.
Thanks, we will pay attention to this thing in future videos
You made my day. Thank You So Much!
great video many thanks

Thank you! Very usefull video! Found out my own mistakes! will try to improve my animations further
thank you very much !!! volume of the video is very low .... i have to crank the volume up almost 90 to 100, and still low... really appreciate your effort !

Thank you for this
Brilliant video

thank's dude for this.
you're welcome. Extremely glad that it helped you :)
tnx
God bless you!
nice. i like this video. i waiting for the next video like this sir....
Awesome
Motion Design sounds a lot more fancier and technical than Animation.
Cool tips
Only i have low sound voume, problem on this video? (From smartphone)
Nice
Super
What if I can't draw? I won't be able to draw the poses. I love the look of your courses, but we are reluctant because I can't draw.
MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I still don't know how to walk correctly in real life lol
i see most animation when character walking they don't like to show leg much
i think because it's hard :/ or just teleporting cut and jump between the scene
is the sound a bit too low for this video?
Next time we will pay more attention to the sound :)
@@motiondesignschool Thank you! Just checking if it was my machine audio is having a problem.
I walked around my room while watching this
Отличный урок! Очень классно сделано. Колокольчик
The process of animating dinosaurs is such a hassle
The teacher is so handsome, I immediately learn～～～
stfu
why is the volume so low
..Popping Knees With Duik anyone?
0:48
What TRULY pains me is when people make the arm and leg on the same side go the same angle, thats not how balance works and it just looks...weird
why so quiet?
We took into account these sound issues and in the other videos everything is ok ;)
