  • Walk Cycle Scrolling Layout3:58

    In order to make it look like a character is walking, we'll need to create a scrolling layout for your character to "walk along." We will do this in Ps by connecting a number of repeatable background images in a horizontal fashion on a custom widescale canvas. At the end of this lecture you will know how to create a scrolling background in Ps to use in Pr behind your walking character!

  • Scrolling Layout Keyframe Animation
  • Walk Cycle Drawing15:30

    In this lecture we will draw the 10 steps in a walk cycle, and discuss the necessary steps to take in between each drawing to effectively draw each step in a timely manner, as well as discuss the proper way to photograph reference images for your walk cycle.  At the end of this lecture you will understand how to take a set of reference images and turn them into 2D walk cycle path elements!

  • Walk Cycle Sequencing1:58

    In this lecture, we will cover how to take your newly created walk cycle elements from Ps and sequence them into a walk cycle video in Pr!  At the end of this lecture you will know how to effectively sequence a walk cycle in Premiere Pro!
