In this video, I combined the basic South Park walk using my cut-out me and the bridge. This animation was easy to make as I was just moving one piece of cut-out and there wasn't much to trouble me.
The next step was to make cut-out legs for my character. First I photocopied the cut-out of me not to lose the original. I cut the legs of the copy and used that a reference to get scale and size of all of the 8 legs drawings. I shaded in the darker side to get an affect that they are 3-D. I put these legs to the test.

In this was still experimenting with the photocopy cut-out and the new legs I drew, I used all 8 for this experiment and it looked natural but the downside is the amount of paper u have to move as you can see the background moving also. I always had to reset.
The next walk was just using two parts of legs. I used legs 2 and 4 because one of them is wide and one is closed. I liked this one because it looked unnaturally but still had something moving unlike the south park style. It reminded me a bit like a platform game.
Out of all three walks, I felt the best looking walk animation was the full 8 legs but I wanted to create this humorous walk where it felts a bit uneasy to fit in with the whole energy of the FMP
