ALAN BECKER - Animating Run Cycles

How to make characters run, hop, skip and jump!

[musicallynoted]

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.

Dude! I watched animation vs animator ages ago but I didn't know you had a tutorial channel! This is so cool, this stick animations back in the day is what makes me want to be a animator today and now its you teaching me! Awesome tutorials my guy, thank you!

[EJSmith]

I laughed so hard at the frolick cycle

[fohatenchou]

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.

[Sky-deoy]

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.

Plz do a tutorial about crawling.
I think it's really hard.

[asacollie]

Man your animation tutorials are so much better than any other tutorial else on YouTube they are so helpful

1:41 I need to remember this for my next animation...

[RedoutRacing]

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

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

[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

I love these tutorials.
You sound so professional all the while you are making Cheese run.
Now you must make cheese dance.

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

[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.

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.

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

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