How to Make a Minifigure Run (An Easy Run Cycle for your Brickfilms: Stop Motion Animation Tutorial)

[@BrickBuildBrickfilms]

This helped a lot! It's awesome how it's basically a walk cycle with a lot of stud skipping! That'll help me to remember it!

[@brickez117]

Nice detailed run cycle tutorial. Exactly what I am doing now for 15 FPS.

Great to hear! Awesome!

[@theoceanbuilderproduction8819]

Man this is really going well,
I got a question on how to do horseback stopmotion

[@GoldPuffin]

Thanks. Horseback stop motion - if you're using a standard Lego horse, the best option is just try not to show too much of the legs so that you can't see that the legs can't move. Then you need to kind of raise it up and down a little bit as you move it forwards. You can also look at the Skyrim animation by Pantsahat to see what he did, and check out Brick Dictator as he has some horseback scenes.

Awesome, I really hope this helps you :-) :-)

[@aceanimations2451]

This is very helpful I’ve always wondered how you do your run cycle. Now I know.😀

[@DafterThings]

Very good and very well presented. The inclusion of different FPS is very useful. I noticed you doing that 'balancing' frame on one of your livestreams. A good way to fill a small gap before being able to use the studs again.

[@petros_sk]

This may be a Blasphemous question but you ever considered using a mega construx Minifigures with knees and elbows? I love your animations and I'm sure that the extra articulation would be put to good use on your Channel.

[@legoamazingbricks2023]

good video friend I limped it as an example for my stop motions, so that my subscribers can see some great lego videos. I am going to dedicate some videos to my subscribers and to those who come later.

[@mccstudios]

Awesome tutorial! It looks really good :)
Btw what macro lenses do you use in your stop motion videos ?

[@blakemaurel4141]

@goldpuffin can you do a video on how to make you lego kid walk cycle look good

[@TheonlyKaz]

How do you transfer videos from your phone to your laptop (not iphone)

[@GoldPuffin]

You can download them from your gallery at photos.google.com if you have your phone set to sync to Google, or you can use the cable from your charger - plug it into the laptop USB and select "transfer files".

[@philnando]

Can you make a jumping tutorial I dont now how to make my guy jump in fight senes
