Animation: Walking Cycle

Analysing the how we walk help to break down the steps to make a 2D animation walking cycle

How I made the Walk Cycle:

Download the Bear File > https://www.dropbox.com/s/fs681w4g0qxgaz2/BEAR.psd
Open After Effects
Go to File > Import > PSD File of Bear
Bear PSD > composition retain editable layers
Double click Bear composition > open in work space
Progran window > ctrl click > composition settings > Frame rate 23976
Change duration to 5 seconds
16 frames long > adjust in workspace
Where the circular arrows in settings next to where the key frames are, you want click that to Change the formation of the sequence to loop
Then using the anchor point tool set anchor point onto the Bear
anchor points should go on the following > Front Arm / Shoulder-Head / Centre Body / Front Hip-Leg / Back Hip-Leg / Back Hip-Arm / Shoulder
After setting the anchor points you need to set the parents for the Bears elements
Using the formation of the frames on, frames 1,8,16 make the movements for the body
Once the Walk Cycle is complete you can add a background if you wish and audio
