LEGO Stop-Motion Walk Test

A short test I did to make a LEGO minifig walk. This was done with the Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000.

Nice, smooth-looking walk, especially if it's only a 5 frame walk cycle (FWC). I've heard of a 4 and 8 frame walk cycles, so I'm curious where a 4FWC has 1 frame added to it to make it a 5 FWC. Also, what frame rate are you using?

[RelytFilms]

15fps. I don't know how to explain the walk cycle to you.

[ancientbricks]

the walk cycle number is how many frames it takes for the figure to return to that exact same body position. For example, count how many frames you take from when the right leg it down on a stud to when the right leg is down on the next stud (actually 2 studs away) I guess another way to look at it is: home many frames does it take to traverse 2 studs 2 studs.

I know what a walk cycle is... I just can't explain (in words at least) how you add 1 frame to 4 to get a 5 frame walk cycle.

Is that the 6 frame walk? looks pretty good!

[RelytFilms]

No, 5 step walk cycle. The key to making it look good is keeping the back straight.
