Animation Worksheet: Principles of Animation

Animation and design lesson 6: Principles of animation · Set 163 · 40 questions

Creator's tip (Six principles): Squash and stretch = bending shape (the amount stays the same); anticipation = getting ready first. Timing = how many frames a move takes; follow-through = loose parts keep moving after a stop. Slow in and slow out = more frames near the start and end; arcs = curved paths.
