"Walks!" "Walks about the highest thing to do right this a heel of lot going on a walk." "The key the walks is doing things in the right order." "Start by deciding on a tempo." "Then you do the contact positions." "Where they foot is touching the ground would is no way on a yet." "Let's take a normal walk." "We should start by taken a look at basic pattern of a normal walk." "Always start with the contacts where the foot contacts the ground." "And leg straight, with no way on yet." "We'll take one stride, one step." "And I'll pull it apart for clarity." "People just going some we're mostly walk on 12's, march time." "Twelve position for step." "The passing position, we'll be just slightly higher than the contacts." "The down position where we feel the weight." "Where there leg's your band, the pelvis, and head your down." "Is where we feel that weight." "And the up position, is the high." "The push of leg straight and the pelvis in a head at their highest." "Now we add the inbetweens than we can see wave pattern." "This is I'll exaggerated here for clarity." "Now we'll add the arms." "The arms on the contact positions." "Counter or oppose the legs." "Here's the passing position." "They arms we'll just in the middle this swing." "But, in the down position, the arms where there widest point." "In a normal walk." "Add in the up position where the arms we'll just inbetween." "And we have an exaggerated natural walk pattern." "We should understand this pattern thoroughly." "Because we're going to use it as we go." "But we're also going ignorant." "And using different structure." "Which will help us to invent." "Here it is." "We always start with contacts." "And here." "We make the passing position, the up." "And this makes the contacts act as the down." "We putting the other the inbetween positions and this will still." "Gives an acceptable feeling of weight." "But, we can put a passing position anywhere we want." "As the down?" "Leaning back?" "Stepping high?" "Push further down?" "Change the arms on the contacts?" "Working this way we can invent actions." "We can go on forever." "BULDING WALKS" "I'll will is getting in a car." "I guess the car would be about here." "And street ways here." "So I'm getting in the car." "And I saw man walking from here to here." "Is the top view from here to here." "From here... to about the here." "And I say that guy is gay!" "And I..." "What?" "How can..." "And I stop I put car back." "How can I know?" "That is gay!" "I mean I can would see in." "Not..." "I an unknown the..." "I poriferous vision is so sharp." "That's for protection in..." "The jungle." "Any way I didn't know any I this." "I just saw this thing I thought." "Way the minute I'm supposed to be this animator." "How you I know this?" "So I... guy of the car." "Run up the road." "And he got in about the block." "Done here by then." "And a... this is what is doing." "So I'll are... waking along behind then copy in." "All right!" "So he's walking..." "No up and down." "The head..." "Was level." "Walking on a tightrope." "Now..." "The reason that's slightly feminine." "Is they women..." "They a tends..." "To protect themselves is needed it's they a protect." "Ow you see the mont like this box in their shopping." "Anyway where's a crowded budget man ugly women." "They go around a like..." "So with the legs they old tends to protect the..." "Business." "See!" "Do just a slight..." "I mean..." "It's slight, it's subtle I mean normal woman's walk." "You know!" "So, the with the man." "Because the equipment the we carry in." "All right!" "Is in tremendous is enough up." "The passing position is up." "All right!" "There's on a gay walk or there woman's walk is not much..." "In this case is was non." "Women usually take short steps, in a straight line." "As opposed to Mr. Macho." "But not always." "So the passing position becomes terrible important." "The tell's the holding the walk." "Where you put that." "Middle position is it up, is it down is sideways is it... whatever." "Any get strange things like..." "Strange combination of masculine and feminine." "Like the guy is do..." "John Wayne." "Who walks we're this shoulders." "He walks a like a... a 1940's women." "In know..." "like Barbara Stern your can something with shoulder." "He has very low upper down your women..." "see that with John Wayne." "Those shoulders, is almost exactly the same as..." "Come up seen - you know - how was so down change." "Come uppen seen me sometimes." "He's doing the same thing this shoulders." "Where the God Dammed Indians." "You know!" "It's very strange." "And I think part they appeal of John Wayne he has a..." "The face little feminine... the eyes." "Are almost feminine." "And your this is big honk of a guy." "Anyway..." "So for walk she going get all kind of stuff." "Like this... always doing a Holywood Walk." "The postman yesterday was written a script." "And this a..." "I mean you see that all time practically everbody in Holywood." "That head is just..." "I you can see always angles must be look it always angles my marvel is face ones." "So, the walk is probably, just a normal walk with this." "Or I've seen... you seen this one, the actors." "Hi!" "There..." "You know - ever thing is back here." "Know my job now." "If it then..." "A pregnant woman is walking way back, all right." "Or a fat man." "If a..." "Fat man walk like dancers." "Because they have so many..." "so much meet in here." "The they have to spread and they have to sort of." "Orson Welles when was uppen the walk." "Was like this..." "So, the point is the big fat person, is going to" "Is going to obviously..." "Got a carry always stuff." "And normally in a walk." "You know, you get the ar..." "This arm, the counter arm, the other arm." "Counter this you..." "As..." "Do..." "A normal walk." "The arms counter the legs." "In San Francisco." "We saw woman walking around she was huge." "A woman, and she..." "To carry always stuff, the arms and legs could counter with other." "Was like, she are invisible strings that stir" "Hands the whole always stuff is wrong rock from side to side." "You know - going down the road like this." "So..." "Or..." "Let me think." "A drunk." "I don't know for drunk has lot uppen down but what drunk is doing." "Its all it time." "I'm telling..." "I'm not..." "I'm not drunk was had ... I am not drunk!" "I do not drink!" "All right!" "So, everything is wobble around the bottom." "And strangle hold steady the top." "Think of all there's..." "What the got in my list." "A baby." "A baby would just a..." "Lurch want there is not like a drunk the all." "Somebody set baby is walk like drunks." "They don't." "Because a baby is..." "Trying go for" " You know." "And stop for falling down." "All the theories say the, walks your..." "A processes of..." "Falling over in catching and yourself." "And a normal walk you get a..." "Things, there's a kind of..." "That shape you goes..." "That shape." "The foot..." "The heel tends to follow this pattern." "The heel is the lead part." "The rest of the foot follows along." "When you turn on your walk heel is lines away." "And road it's a stunning got the see." "I never known anything normally." "But when I see, when is crazy walk..." "Then I see..." "What is unusally about this when you can it..." "Look instantly for the..." "for the passing position." "While ago I did good filming in London." "And analyzing walks." "Look those legs nice in for apart." "Any roles from side the side." "His foot hitting the ground ever 12 frames." "Amazing how many people are march time." "The woman with cane." "Is walking one, two, three ever twenty frames about." "What's the dog walk?" "The dog is walking one fours, I Think." "One leg is bad." "So the one is right is moving on maybe six frames." "The one in the left probably about ten." "It's a limp." "When was a kid." "Hap the timing your pushing doorbells and runnung and stuff." "This, frind the mind." "Who comes back into the couse later." "He would run across the road." "And right into the traffic." "And stop all the traffic." "And I would come from to the other." "This is..." "Quite the youn... a large street young street." "Go across like this." "And get to other side run like hell." "Until your still all let time to one I've got caught." "In guy been let me essentially they are said never did any more." "But that's very interesting thing." "I mean, do analyze because you going." "Look in the my up and there you going like this forward." "Like a sneak." "Then on a passing position a head..." "Is back." "Were exactly here's" "Like..." "See can do a better." "The passing position." "So the a hell wobble lot of stuff going on." "And obviously if you break stuff down." "Like on that film." "In a normal walk the passing positions here." "If you throw." "Throw it off." "You walk is like..." "Like this... that is by putting a passing position there." "And Art Babbitt did of lot of a walks where he..." "He was the first on the violent of the rules" "He would put goofy is foot" "Over here..." "Between the passing position and start position." "Do that!" "I can do of course." "He would put feet on backwards." "Nobody ever known this." "You know" " I mean is amazingly it get away with." "So..." "All right!" "We know a good draw this stuff." "The first thing..." "In a walk is the set the tempo." "It's ..." "It's somebody walk on 4's." "This would be..." "This would be ever 4's." "Fours draw, all right." "One,..." "This mark here 1, X,..." "X, X, step..." "Step, step, step..." "Twenty five that's in a second." "I've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6." "Positions in a second." "So, that's not a walk." "That's a run." "All right!" "And is a run with six..." "That's a cartoon run because..." "I can't do it, I don't think." "Sure you know with the echo off run up." "1, 2, 3, 5, 6... 1, 2, 3, 5..." "I can't do it." "I can of feet 1,2,3,5... 1,2,3,5." "It's not possible hardly." "So... 4's..." "A cartoon in run." "A maybe if your real runner." "And had of hell running in..." "You my getting going..." "I don't think is possible." "Then would have a 6 frames." "Six." "All right frames is here it's clear." "That's a natural realistic run." "Or you could say fast..." "Cartoon walk." "When be cartoony" "So that would be..." "Every..." "I mean six every where it here." "Yeah!" "it's rafly." "So, every 6 frames." "One a this 5's frames or somthings." "Which gone a... a fast run, so..." "Running into... 1, 2, 3, 4, 1 ..." "Four per second!" "1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4 ..." "If I was runnig as put fast one for a person..." "Still..." "So, it's a hell of a still..." "That's a very, very fast." "Eight frames." "Is a..." "You could call a... it's a normal run." "That's say." "Normal human run." "Which is obviously." "Step, step, step, so... 1, 2, 3... 1, 2, 3." "1, 2, 3..." "I need run in... 1, 2, 3." "1, 2, 3,...1." "Okay, so your now, the run of possibility." "12 frames." "Those a... business is like walk." "Brisk normal walk, march time." "And that's obvious, every..." "So again..." "Going to the toilet." "Going down to the store." "Going across the room the get a book even." "If I'm purposeful." "They had big battles." "Aboult where there people walk on 12's." "And of course the animate." "And Milt..." "When there with the stopwatch in 1933 when went the studio." "And timed everybody... everybody going run around on 12's." "Can back the studio going on set everybody going on 12's they said..." " Oh!" "No, no no no there not on 12's..." " And all this theories can why there not on 12's set they are on 12's going in test it." "Of course nobody did, and they argued." "This thing will their reason arguing." "He's on 12's, he's hard the divide." "All right." "If you've got 8 frame walk." "These lazy bastard." "Evenly divided." "A chart divided into 8's." "Make some set easier to inbetween." "Were as..." "A 12 frame walk." "You've got a... it's like this." "A chart on 12's make some hard to inbetween on thirds." "That means..." "If the animator has to do every drawing." "Is got a think... hard there any if is gong a give to on the system the production line they gone a..." "Done to were on then you can a be doing putting in thirds here." "Are logo characters is have different personalities." "But there'll walking on 12's." "I wanted to dock to be silly." "So I give silly arms swing in they unexpected hopes." "The rabbit is on mobile phone." "People on the phone tend glide." "No up and down." "But it get some sense of weight." "I put up and down on is bottom half." "Belly, on the legs." "He's supposed to be a Hollywood executive." "This stick man is there like a deck-chair, unfolding itself." "Everything unfolds and gratulate comes into the rhythm 12's, like the other creatures." "Are nineteen twenties styles robber host cat moves in circles and figurants." "But still walking on 12's." "He's bonelees in chile stiffen limb by limb." "But it stay's on 12's." "This happy guy is 2-dimensional." "So always have to work with ours feet." "So we left to knees up high." "To slam the feet down on the beat." "The sausage dog is streches is like in a accordion." "Is back in a stride do escape from a stranding." "But it get together when it comes back in any is on the beat." "Sixteen frames." "That's a... a strolling walk." "More leisurely." "Is interesting way people think." "I.." "I use the think in a..." "Seconds." "You know - thousand one , thousand two, thousand three... or" "One Mississippi, one little monkeys, two little monkeys or three Mississipi, whatever." "And when I met Milt in, her this thing above 12 frames." "And then I still I just cut in have so..." "I now think in 12's." "And he said... he thought." "He always time things, thinking on 12's, because everything we just a little... he said simple." "Because it's to do I hard be there something." "And everything just little more than 12's." "Or everything just litlle less than 12." "Ken Harris to was the foot which..." "Maestro." "He thought in... he always is take pencil." "And point... do like this, he would, you know." "Sixteenths." "That's it..." "It's one foot he always thought in foot it." "And a, so..." "I found is a better way the think of the 12's." "Because then if it's a little left... you can down the away it's a little less." "Or 10 whatever it's a heel is way to think." "So, you do the here this sttrolling walk sixteen..." "like come member can..." "Strolling walk..." "Coming from the washroom..." "Won there what went gone a do the rest the day." "Twenty frames, is a tired." "Elderly person... or... person." "So twenty frames thousand... 12..." "See that grew up in shopping mall." "And than of course we stop here..." "we stop twenty four frames." "There slow... step." "So, thousand one, thousand two, thousand three." "Thousand one..." "This is of be walking around like this the end the day." "He's the taxi here." "We have a left crise." "One thousand two, okay." "Of work with directors is I can..." "They at to the tempo can a bill into they had." "And even look at storyboard they get down to cope of frames." "Four nine hundred frames sequence." "And they know the timing." "I would just one your in how..." "Youpracticelearningthe tempo you can turn lease a tempo." "So, they your analysis is faster." "Yeah!" "I think you do think in tempo." "And I think we all naturally..." "You know." "You naturally building for this median." "You know - if you have a sense grading." "I can't dance I mean know always hit in the orchestra." "Or something... but I could dance I'm sure." "You know" " I've got a..." "I need just get..." "I first went to Ingland, and I...." "I saw this guys the animate - you know - in..." "And put the bast the English guys, they we going..." "And I say:" " Oh God!" " I..." "I'm artist" "I don't one a be like that." "And about year later on going..." "You know" " Any just get that away." "But..." "What they did in Hollywood?" "I remember always said..." "I said Art Babbit ones" "I love the Tom and Jerry timing" "You know - there..." "Any said" " Yeah, yeah on 8's, on 8's." "And said:" "What?" "And said" " Yeah!" "Bill hand everythings on 8's." "Everythings on 8's?" " Yeah!" "He said:" " Yeah!" "That's a burning." "You that..." "There you got every 8 frames." "He hit said..." "He always hit..." "Where've is..." "Your hitting thought." "A chart on 8's easy it work with." "Its evenly divisible" "And of course everybody is going." "Flintstone or something." "Hy there, hy frind!" "Hy..." "Its all..." "So Tom and Jerry this..." "All on 8's." "I mention it wants to Chuck Jones." "I said do you..." "How do you time." "On stuff." "I mean here, he's my..." "A one most wonderfull." "Timer." "I mean..." "Him fact area it" "Fishery area going - you know - any way." "He set all we had a..." "Twelve sheets and sixteen sheets." "And say:" " What you mean?" "He said always we have this a..." "This would be a twelve..." "let's have 16's sheet." "We have a read line." "Go across..." "Every foot." "And that was are 16's sheet." "And we put your accent." "Your just hit the..." "Or half way between, fun getting of be." "I we put every on the..." "On this twel..." "I would thinking on 16's." "Any set than the thing had a musical." "They put musical on after." "So had an inherent musical beat." "So its say this Road Runner cartoons on 16's." "And they said than we had 12 sheets." "Where we a..." "It the be the same thing on 12's." "We have a..." "I think they a blue liner or green liner are different color from the 16's." "Just run them line." "So same thing your again ago." "And then it's on a..." "On 12's, march time." "So we got a whole come are." "We set then musician dosen't have a hit it." "There..." "But he can we this click track he can hit where 1's." "See so makes easy forms that's..." "So your gone a... your gone a building a walk." "And it's..." "How those walks probably hardest things." "Would they are hardest things it to do." "I mean when beginner animators always one a..." "Animators seen a guy walks in there room and starts." "Are you or somebody or..." "Go never dark my door again running around the table all kind of stuff." "And this all tangled up in the press thing dosen't were everything." "Is stay it just concentrating on walks, different kinds of walks." "And of course to great thing to do." "These which stick... this stick figures which." "I... hope to do..." "Do a not do a decent drawing." "In this whole of course." "And reason is..." "This is wonderful thing babbit showed this the..." "If just do stick figures." "There is the hips, all right." "And there is the arm." "You..." "There is the arm." "Is the we can it put joint it's him." "If knee be..." "And should do test the peace test things." "The work you many the real time things... blablabla." "But, the basic things gone a working, in a working real fast." "Will start again with there normal walk pattern." "The passing position is just slightly higher." "The down position would be slightly down, where we feel weight." "And push off this up position the high is point." "Here it is, we've get away pattern." "Now were gone a using are invented walk method." "Start with the same contact positions." "And add the passing position on an up." "And still give is an acceptabel feeling of weight." "Now let's the keep same contact positions." "But make the passing position the down." "We get this..." "Now keep the same contact positions again." "And let's be inventive with the passing position." "Down and ben like a pinna." "Did works." "This method open the door for all kinds of invention." "However, don't make cycles of head action incircles." "Becomes I like a pigeon." "Same bird like efect with a figure 8." "So for safety, we tend keep head mass mostly straight up and down." "But which still we be brave and try things." "This method opens the door to all kinds of invention." "Did it also help to plan." "To keep our figures in proportion." "And plot in that." "Here's the way in the planning a walk in perspective." "There is the horizon and there is the vanishing point." "We draw a 2 lines." "One along the top of the post." "In the other along the bottom." "Both meeting at the vanishing point." "Then we draw another line a half way between." "Now draw a line, from the top of the first post." "Going through the centre of the second post." "Now we know where to put the third post." "And all the rest." "Now add in our figure making all the rigth foot contacts." "Then put in the left foot contacts." "Then add in the passing positions." "And all the rest." "Which see we've got a structure them." "I my having done think like that." "I my start go straight ahead on top of bit of the whole thing." "Which this drawings under." "Say I'm gone I'm one a lose things up." "I don't one lose to be like this." "But I've got, all figure out." "I know I'm not can gone wrong is gone can up perspective correctly." "It's gone a were." "I'm my start drawing here in say..." "My this take the head in do a performance with it." "You know - it's talking." "And there my do something where with a hands or take one hand." "And or it's got the pause, and start - you know." "There is it's just getting this..." "This a..." "Struct one it called fancied post." "Or clothesline, in." "And then running on top." "We there using this drawing or starting again, on variation." "Takes the, takes the anxiety out." "Let's take interesting details in variations." "Okay, we all it than something is the prety prosaic." "Peace of stuff." "It all got something intersting is they this." "As the arm - you know - the arm is back." "When the arm is back with the shoulders back." "With this try, shoulders back." "Back..." "And a... hips, hip joint this forward." "Hip back." "Shoulder for..." "In the normal man's walk." "The passing position let's..." "Is up." "And the arm." "Is gone a be just in the middle." "Just I normal inbeetween is a swing through." "And the leg is gone be right in the middle." "The foot is gone be down." "And the other..." "If that was it 12 frame walk we're going from one." "And now of be seven the passing position the 13, all right." "Let's just draw from the front." "Is gone a be straight, as goes up." "I've down something interesting..." "Here, which intended to do so early." "On a front position we see the we draw we's leg." "Like this." "We've take an a hammer." "Smashed the person's knee." "To a position can I go to." "Babbish closed its breaking joints." "And everybody doesn't how..." "I don't know..." "I never talk to Milt out there." "Ken Harrison do it." "Every I don't think." "But I don't think they have a term for." "I then the arts." "In the made on, they just we got a do this." "You know, way, it got do it!" "It's break well as intellectual." "Where we doing smashing in the joint?" "Penny we this way." "And doing the same thing maybe the forward would do that I'm not sure." "If you draw..." "The good color." "Let's draw a... a women." "On it, are more realist." "Women." "You except that." "Don't you." "I mean tend except you." "So my point this we can get... we can start to get way would murder." "On passing positions in draw in this is an extreme." "And some people are actually build that away." "But will can a..." "You can the store enormously." "Without we very in the squash and stretch." "So we build are basic walks." "And we have a method on with are build or inventions." "Now we come to the interesting stuff." "Here's a tracing of a very inventive of mime more this it." "Take a look this strut." "She lifts her back foot up fast." "And put it down slow." "The exact opposite of a normal walk." "If a real person could do this." "Just think for we can do an animation." "And that's for we can do in the next session." "All more look flexibiliy in a walks."
