3 Easy Lego Stop Motion Walk Cycles: How To Make Your Lego Minifigure Walk in Your Brickfilm

If you're a beginner at Lego stop motion, making one of your first brickfilms, you might not have figured out how to make a Lego minifigure walk yet. This easy step by step tutorials gives you handy tips to get that Lego man (or woman!) walking in your brickfilm.

This video shows you how to animate a walk at relatively low frame rates: 6 frames per second (FPS), 8 FPS and 10 FPS. The third walk cycle can also be used at 12 FPS, but is not recommended for that frame rate.

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 walk cycles. I am also going to make another run cycle tutorial soon. A playlist of my run cycle and walk cycle tutorials (which will be updated as I add more) can be found here:
