Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Walking is a 1968 animated short film made by Ryan Larkin, produced by the National Film Board of Canada.It is a plotless five-minute animated portrait of people walking. All kinds of people are walking—nuns, old ladies, young children, hipsters. Larkin made the short as a demonstration of human motion, which is rather similar to the 19th-century experimental motion studies of Eadweard Muybridge. For the short Larkin used watercolors, not typically an animation medium, which produced a surreal, dreamlike effect.Decades later, Larkin's life was the subject of another NFB short, Ryan, which included clips from Walking.See it on the NFB's Youtube channel here.

Bookends: The same shot of a man in silhouette walking opens and closes the short.

Silence Is Golden: Since there's no story there certainly doesn't need to be dialogue.

The Ken Burns Effect

The Ken Burns Effect: Before all the shots of people walking, there are several stills of people not walking—sitting in cars, at home in apartments, waiting on a bus. The camera glides over these stills, which act in contrast to the exuberant motion of the people walking.

Limited Animation: Although the walking figures themselves are intricately animated, they're done against a plain white background. And then there's the sequence of stills that aren't animated at all.
