Animation Reference - Athletic Male Standard Walk

[mateusgrazina]

thats the Swaaaaaaaaaaag Walk.

[HorseLuver098]

Men walk with big arm movements and women walk with big hip movements.

[jstarks21]

(continued from last comment) I suggest that you average out the positions of key points on the body to find the ideal Z forward placement. Such key points would be the ear hole, center of chest, center of hips, and maybe the ankles. Don't use points on the arms and hands.

[jstarks21]

What is your process for balancing the forward progression in the side view? I would expect to see a very slight acceleration during the cross of legs followed by a slight deceleration with each foot plant, but overall he should stay pretty much centered in the grid. It wouldn't be right to keep his hips in exactly the same Z forward spot on the grid because of the accelerations and decelerations, but it isn't right either to have him float from 6 to 7 to 6 then to 9... (continued...)

Many, Many thanks for the time and effort youve put into making a great reference site on youtube!!! This is just what I've been looking for to improve my CG animations. Once again A MILLION THANKYOUS!

It's a bit of "trying too hard". He looks like he's very self-conscious about it, which gives it a somewhat unnatural touch.

[nanimitendayo]

is all that arm sway necessary?

[Ol0fsson]

He walks like a turk...

@umar6419 I can't believe the entitled attitude people have. You have no right to the property of others unless he chooses to give it to you. It must have taken a lot of work to get these walk cycles recorded in such a viewer-friendly format.

[umar6419]

@AlexanderLee1 OK sorry.... BUt calm Down.......

[BADGERGOESGRR]

This has saved my life thank you person who made this and my gratitude is forever with you walking man :-)

[TimesToo]

These movements are too exaggerated, obviously deliberate. No one moves like this naturally.

[ccase0art]

@TimesToo Actually its perfect for help animating a cartoon character :)

[kelahearting]

@TimesToo I know a man who walks just like this all the time

[DrRickkenstein]

Wow, this comes in very handy when animating!

[olabradha1586]

@DrRickkenstein, could you tell me how to download this video? I want to copy the walk in photoshop.

[DrRickkenstein]

@olabradha1586 I made printscreens. XD

[zippythewildone]

@olabradha1586 Google search Keepvid. It's a program that lets you download any youtube video.
