How to Make a Minifigure Run (An Easy Run Cycle for your Brickfilms: Stop Motion Animation Tutorial)

In this video I show you an easy way to make a Lego minifigure run in stop motion animation. This brickfilm tutorial will walk you through how to do an easy run cycle, how it looks at different frame rates (8 FPS, 10 FPS, 12 FPS, 15 FPS, 20 FPS and 24 FPS), how to make it look right, and how to adapt it slightly for different frame rates.

The "cheat sheets" or handy reference images can be found here:

If you are animating at a frame rate that is not listed above, choose the closest one and give it a go to see how it looks.

At a later date I will do another tutorial showing other run cycles. I am also going to make some new walk cycle tutorials soon. A playlist of my run cycle and walk cycle tutorials (which will be updated as I add more) can be found here:
