Honestly the most helpful part of these vids are the little poses he shows; I take screenshots and use them as references for animations.

I know it's a small little detail, but I appreciate the little pointer arrow at the end becoming the 'next' arrow. Pretty clever stuff.

Thank you so much. Your tutorials are helping a programmer like me be able to produce high quality animated sprite sheets for an indie game.

[@saqujart]

i've been trying more than a year to do a run cycle, i do not care how long it takes, or how bad i do it, i'll keep on trying, and this video is helping a lot, thanks

[@saqujart]

i did it, i fucking did it

[@Moonmoonmoon963]

Awesome

[@daddyalbert61]

You never relies how long it takes to animate until you do it and how hard without experience

[@lilymonasmith4790]

Tbh, if I had a beginner ask me where they should start when becoming a animator, I'd recommend your videos.

[@xiahaque5448]

Alan becker I also made this run cycle Animation and it looks smooth thank you for helping me 😊

[@Sky-de7oy]

your videos on cycles just saved my life hahah. I was taking ages trying to animate a character walking and failing but doing like you teach makes it sooo much easier! Specially the main poses, so useful.

[@C3PowerEnergy]

[@crowleyscollectibles]

These tutorials are great. I'm actually doing 3D animation and this is exactly what I needed to help me make a good run cycle. Thank you for your help.

[@RedoutRacing]

Again, amazing basic tutorial. I've now made both, walk and run cycles!

[@Alpha-Maia]

This really helped! Thanks, mate!

[@DJNeoncat]

All these runs are amazing!

[@Andyman620]

thank you for making these! If I hadn't watched these, I would probably still be figuring out how flash works, or I would be doing only object animation (motion graphics, pretty much). Now I find frame by frame so much fun! =D

Thanks for making these tutorials. They really make me want to get back into animation.

[@mohamedkhomsi3375]

Ow Alan, thank you so much. I inspired myself on your walk tutorial months ago (actually designing a video game by passion). For the run cycle, I inspired myself on athletes running in slow-motion and managed to catch their animation through my work but damn' in a game it's ridiculous. The character is animated as if he was running for his life which is normal considering the models who are the best sprinters on earth. I'm back to your tutorials then. Your videos are clear, simple and outstandingly efficient. Thank you a billion times again.

[@jamespinard7025]

These are the best tuts I've ever seen! Keep posting your brilliance.

[@sunsmiie3366]

0:46 look at the 3rd one it look like it holding a cup of coffee But this is amazing I can't not do the walking stuff or running to animated.

[@azamatdjirtanov8943]

THANKS Alan . I am still in highschool , and because of your videos I really want to be an animator . THANK YOU A LOT :)))

[@rw100]

I've been playing around with Synfig and Godot, trying to get a feel for the basics of game development. Run cycles have been causing me a lot of hassle, but the way you break them down here is a massive help. Thanks.

[@robertsalgado6707]

Dude your tutorials are so easy to follow, you sir are epic!

[@tpmgda]

Thanks Alan. Your videos are very informative. Keep up the good works.

[@kofab]

[@CibuYT]

thanks so much, as a noob this is very clear and makes me go from drawing Sh*t to drawing an actual run cycle without any experience !

[@bevansmith8335]

Ok that is such a good idea to redo your old ones!

[@Jyisnotter]

At 0:30 isnt the wrong foot going up? The right foot makes contact, the left foot passes, and then suddenly the left foot is on the ground even though it should be going up? But then the funny part is that he got it right in the animation. 😂

[@jaredwhite7285]

I like the new style your doing for tutorials! Been a fan since 2008!

[@rikovladimir8655]

those poses are a gold mine of references

[@aKiBlu]

Great video! I've never animated a "skipping scene" - it makes sense, but that probably would've stumped me if I had just tried off the bat. Looking forward to your re-vamped vids!
