Process and Production: Stop-Motion Walk Cycle

Process and Production

Study Task 6: Walk Cycle

When making the stop-motion puppet walk cycle, I encountered problems such as the tearing of the plasticine, restrictions in the movement of the arms and legs and also problems with trying to make the puppet stand properly. I think I was able to make the walk-cycle work, such as with the flick of the ankle upwards on the first motion and having the arms move opposite to the legs.

The feedback I received on the stop-motion animated walk-cycle, I was told to make the leg kick up on the second step, because she appears the slide, when the ankle flicks up. That's something I need to change when I make improvements to the walk, next time.
