There are lots of videos showing how to make a Lego figure walk, with good walk cycles showing mini figures taking their first steps. I wanted to do something a bit different in 2017 and show you how NOT to make a Lego figure walk, with 5 walk cycles you should never use.

Here are five walk cycles that look rubbish, stupid or ridiculous. Fair enough, if you want to animate a man water-skiing, a toddler climbing the stairs, a zombie, or a clip from the ministry of silly walks, this video will teach you everything you need to know! I'll also be uploading a video very soon to show different walk cycles you can use to make a Lego man or Lego woman walk that will actually look good.

If you're new to stop motion, don't worry. Everyone starts out as a noob by definition. You'll be doing professional looking walk cycles in no time! Look out for more funny videos and tutorials on Gold Puffin.
