Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Cable on behalf of Expert Village. I need to tell you the materials that we need to create your walk cycle and they are similar to what we covered in the previous videos on other animated tasks. But for this walk cycle we will need pencils, eraser, you can use a couple of HB hardens pencils are good but anything you can constantly keep about the same thickness or sharpness is fine. You need some animation paper anywhere from 30-90 sheets depending on how many mistakes you make, a light box. In this case were using a 12 field light box which is a little bit larger than using a 12 field animation paper which is a little bit larger than standard 8 1/2 X 11. Some fine point pens and a capture station you can also get a motion camera for reference if you need to. We'll talk about this in a minute, a small pointing shooting camera or a moving load will work just fine."
