How to Animate a Run Cycle | Stopmotion Tutorial

[@iRoxStudios]

I hate animating the legs too I remember that being a pain

[@animationcatalyst8123]

This was an amazing tutorial dude! If there’s one thing that helps me out the most in fight scenes it’s definitely Monty Oum’s Rule of Cool. Anyway I’ll definitely be using this tutorial. Thanks a ton man!

[@AKMotions]

No problem man👍

[@DafterThings]

Really good advice. For both run and walk cycles I either a) show from the waist up or b) cut to somebody else or c (if I *really* have to) animate the character leaving in a walk/run and then cut to them arriving (i.e. cut out the journey). Oh... and animating on clay rather than studs. I *hate* studs.

[@AKMotions]

Honestly I hate clay more. My clay is weak

[@RapidActionAnimations]

Dafter Things I just put sticky tack on their feet and it allows for much smoother animation.

[@RapidActionAnimations]

Great. I needed this! I just use sticky tack on my figures at all times!

[@pankyanimations9117]

Always nice to see each pov, that's always by combining different style that you create yours. Thanks for this tutorial, which will make me think way more about the wide angles I always take because of my camera's focus. About the legs, I bought some newplast plasticine to cover all my set, so mb doing run cycle with a frame in the air with a rig could make it really cool in wide angle. It's so funny how cycles are something not interesting for people who dont do stop-motion while it is something really complex, usually showing the animator's style by itself.

[@brickman1175]

This was very interesting and so informative for stop motion newbies like me , so well delivered too. Thank you.

[@vraptor-the1st]

Thanks so much! Could we maybe see how many frames per second is recommended or how to make a good background. Also great animation

[@AKMotions]

I use 13-15 but its each animator should go at their own pace

[@vraptor-the1st]

@@AKMotionsThank you! I hope to make stop motions as good as you and many others, i will let you know when i make a stop motion if thats ok

[@AKMotions]

Alright man! May seem difficult at first but keep with it👍

[@xtreviousproductions680]

@@AKMotions hey I doubt your gonna see this 😂 you might but what tripod do you use?

[@AKMotions]

I don't use a tripod. I used a makeshift phone holder out of legos.

[@thegentlemancolonelcrook8714]

I like this tutorial video, if you can, do more! Also cool to know that the reaper arm blade things work on halo figures

[@SkillzRicosGamerTv]

Nice tutorial dude, I'm trying to do my first small stop motion piece for the beginning of my first Halo Infinite video. This really helped, thanks.

[@MrMan-xe9yz]

Thanks for the advice this will help my animations a lot because I always use a wide shot

[@AKMotions]

Yeah, they are like the friend you thought was nice until you met an actual friend who is nice.

[@MrMan-xe9yz]

Also how many frames per second do you do

[@HydraFellOff]

do you do double's in your animation's? a/k take 2 frames

[@stopmotionstudios3512]

Tysm I really suck at moving with mega construx it's DO hard but after watching this it really helps

[@ClearlyGaming143]

thanks, I am a new stop-motion people and this help alot

[@jobordeaux5458]

that's pretty clean

[@st0rm_308]

Wonderful! I would like to see more tutorials about camera positions, I think that's the hardest thing in animation

[@AKMotions]

It is very difficult in stopmotion where your usually not able to pan a camera 360° around a character. Usually you only get 180°

[@mrdoge4247]

This is gonna help my channel, thanks!

[@InrielMotion]

Solid tutorial. Subbed.

[@Ayeato]

Damn man your really skilled at stop motion, you definetaly need more subscribers, you have a really unique way of stop motion, especially with your camera angles

[@sharkscrape8374]

Super helpful lime really helpful

[@FigureStories-wg4qs]

That’s awesome! I subed

[@astrofirereindeer2799]

I’ve been a fan of red vs blue for a long time when it was on Netflix and it’s the reason I’m a big fan of halo now

[@mrdoge4247]

Could you do a tutorial on backrounds?

[@ervinlol]

Bro this was so much details and amazing I now know what to do and it was the longest 7 minutes of my life 😆😶

[@dogo2505]

can you make an entire video on how you do your fight scenes

[@kenway-motions2544]

Terribly underrated

How do you make the impact of punch more intense compared to other punches??

[@animatorxstudios100]

Nice! Do you use stop motion studio?

[@BusinessCazual]

Thank you SO much!

[@proboanimations]

Good you hit 1k subs

[@speedyfilmzz]

This was a really good tutorial I definitely needed to see this. I didn't say this last time but congrats on 1000 subs cuz you really deserve it for your outstanding talent and effort.

[@speedyfilmzz]

Also, I think you should do a tutorial on making your figure jump because I can do it but it just looks sloppy when I try to execute it.

[@AKMotions]

Thanks man👍 appreciation has been sent

Thank you bro good advice

[@shadowknightproductions5425]

do you use a seperate app for editing because the noise can be hard to get.

[@AKMotions]

I use powerdirector

[@fairyfantasy105]

Amazing tutorial what program do you use to animate? I'm working on making mmd motions and I wanna learn to make smooth motions

[@AKMotions]

I use Blender and SFM. I recommend Blender because it has zero limits. It is easier to animate in than SFM, not too sure about mmd I haven't used it. You can also check out some tutorials from Cake Station.

[@fairyfantasy105]

@@AKMotions ohh thank you mmd is a program called Miku Miku dance where you can make motions by frame and other near effects
