i could NEVER animate that long of a walk cycle! that's endurance.
i like how he bumped the table.
I was using a tripod and it got bumped because I only have two 128MB memory cards for the camera. It uses Memory Stick. Not Pro or Pro Duo, Just Memory Stick. I had to change it out like 5 times. It is a good camera but just not much memory. I do have a camera i want for my birthday. It uses Memory Stick Pro/Pro Duo and SD memory.

First off, welcome to Bricks in motion. To help prevent all that light flicker, try to animate in a room with no natural light. Use lamps to illuminate your set. Remember to always tape down your set and be careful not to move things that you don't want moved. Here's a great tutorial on how to do a six frame walk cycle http://www.nxtmaniacstudios.com/HowTo/Animation/Walk/. When you make the minifig walk, try to move his arms some. Last of all, maybe add some sound or a little song (it helps keep the viewer interested). Here's a great website for almost any music needs http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/. I don't mean to pick on you but to try to help you improve for your next films
I only had a 3 frame walk cycle and most tutorials on YouTube only tell you to swing arms on running but don't say anything about walking. I know you meant when you made that suggestion. I agree I do need to do make it more....like it is real. Pretty good for a third stop stop action video. I made my first one which was about a year and a half ago, with a nice tripod ( Not Mine ) and my dad's camera. I only did cars driving so I had no idea on how to make people walk or anything. The only input was the web and some videos were not very detailed.
