Set a timer for 20 seconds. Next, get ready to walk! Start the timer and count the number of steps you take in 20 seconds. Now for some math — using the number of steps you just counted, figure out the following:
The number of steps you took ÷ 20 seconds = _____ steps per second (round this to 2 decimals)
We want to make a five-second animation of a stick figure walking, so…
Five seconds x your # of steps per second = _____ steps
The walk cycle is for each foot taking a step, so two steps equals a walk cycle.
Total steps ÷ 2 = _____ walk cycles in your five-second animation
