1 Principles of Animation How to create maximun impact

2 Principles of traditional Animation Early animators worked from scratch to analyze and improve upon silence live action films. Anticipation squash and strech characters move at differerent speeds lines of action secondary actions follow through staging inbetweens

3 Anticipation Means before the character commits himself by moving in one direction, he first draw back in the opposite direction. –It is used in all motions in animation-big and small. –The result is more emphatic motion. –During anticipation the whole body gets into anticipatory movement. –Train your eye to look for anticipation when you watch cartoons.

7 Squash and stretch Human bodies squash and stretch when performing different actions. Heavier characters Squash more than thin ones. Squashing and stretching gives the character a sense of weight.

8 characters move at different speeds Tall guys move slowly than short guys fat characters slower than thin ones. Small characters will have to take more steps to keep up with taller characters.

9 lines of action Each figure has its own direction. To strengthen your poses, begin by drawing the line of action as a guide.

10 secondary action- follow through A secondary action is like a chain reaction. Secondary actions are a beat behind the main action.
