ABSTRACT

When the two actors walk in unison they will probably do something like that shown in the illustration. Both pairs of legs doing a basic human walk!

The walk consists of the four major key positions. The first key position is at frame 1: Stride at the front, cross over at the back. The second key position is at frame 7: Stride at the back, cross over at the front. The third key position is at frame 13: Stride at the front, cross over at the back (mirror image of the first key position). The fourth key position is at frame 19: Stride at the back, cross over at the front (mirror image of the second key position). This means that there is always at least two legs touching the ground and, in

order to maintain a ‘tripod’ of balance, three legs will remain on the ground for as long as possible.
