Fun Cycle animation
This is a special animation where we'll animate bezier paths to create the walk cycle. I find it important to start with path animation because there are after effects default.
We will cover how to create this basic and fun walk cycle, how to animate the body according to the cycle and a special twist with effects and properties to add secondary animations for the mouth, the eyes and the ears.
We will style the graphics and create a floor shadow. With the right the techniques you will be amazed to see how easy it is to create this animation.

Classic/Basic Walk Cycle animation
we'll create a basic and moderate walk cycle. This is an important section because we will cover all the rules and working methods that we will use for any other work cycle later on. I have opted for the simple character design.To mainly focus on how to animate level then complicating with design animations.
We will start by covering how to set up the character and the work area and the timeline. We will continue by any meeting the legs to create the work cycle. And step-by-step animate all the other elements. From this walk cycle you can almost create any other work cycle.

Run Cycle animation
We will cover how to create the run cycle animation. The run cycle is short and energetic. It's a lots of fun to create this cycle. It's a fast wide walk cycle of just half second.
We'll start by any meeting the buddy, to set the tempo up and down. Then we'll create a wide feet motion and all the other elements will follow.
Have fun. Recreate this animation was your favorite character.

Double Bounce Walk Cycle animation
…The double bounce is a special walk cycle where the character Bounces twice for every step. It's actually not difficult to achieve this walk cycle if you set and follow the markers at the right time. We will animate the legs in the beginning to create the cycle and continue with all the other elements. Note that the head has a special animation, so it doesn't look like it's coming off. Enjoy this animation and please try your best to replicated with your favorite character.
