Animation Notes!
1. Principles of Animation:
- Squash and Stretch: Objects should deform realistically as they move.
- Anticipation: Prepare the audience for a major action.
- Staging: Ensure clarity in presenting the animation's story or idea.
- Timing and Spacing: Control the speed and rhythm of movements.
- Follow Through and Overlapping Action: Secondary elements should continue moving after
the primary action.
- Arcs: Movements should follow natural paths.
- Appeal: Characters and actions should be appealing and engaging.
2. Storyboarding:
- Plan out the sequence of shots to tell the story effectively.
- Use thumbnails to sketch out each scene.
- Include camera angles, character poses, and key actions.
- Consider pacing, timing, and emotional beats.
3. Keyframes:
- Mark important poses and moments in the animation timeline.
- Establish the starting and ending points of actions.
