The document discusses various animation techniques used in both 2D and 3D animation, including tweening, morphing, skeletal animation, and motion capture. It also outlines 12 basic principles of animation that are important for creating moving animations, such as squash and stretch, anticipation, staging, follow through, timing, exaggeration, and appeal. Specific examples are provided to illustrate techniques like anticipation, overlapping action, arcs, and secondary action.

How to create Animations


12 Basics principles of moving Animations Squash and Stretch __ Anticipation Staging Straight ahead action(pose-to-pose) Follow through(overlapping) Slow-in Slow-out Arcs Secondary action Timing Exaggeration Solid drawing Appeal

1. Squash and Stretch


Teaches basic

mechanics of animation.
Defines rigidity of

material.
Important in facial

animation.

Squash and Stretch Cont.


Can relieve the disturbing effect of strobing.

2. Timing and Motion


Gives meaning to movement
Proper timing is critical to making ideas readable

Examples: 1. Timing: tiny characters move quicker than larger ones. 2. Motion: can define weights of objects.

3. Anticipation
Preparation for an action
Example: Goofy prepares to hit a baseball.

4. Staging
A clear presentation of ideas
Some Techniques: 1. Use motion in a still scene or use of static movement in a busy scene.

2.

Use of silhouettes (to the side)

5. Follow Through and Overlapping Action


1. Follow Through Termination part of an action. Example: after throwing a ball
2. Overlapping Action Starting a second action before the first has completed.

6. Straight Ahead Action and Poseto-Pose Action


1. Straight Ahead Animator start from first drawing in the scene and draw all subsequent frames until the end of scene.
2. Pose-to-Pose Animator plans actions, draws a sequence of poses, in between frames etc.

7. Slow in and Out


Spacing of inbetween frames to achieve subtlety of timing and movement.
1. 3d keyframe comp. Systems uses spline interpolation to control the path of an object. Has tendency to overshoot at extremes (small # of frames). 2.

8. Arcs
Visual path of action for natural movement.
Makes animation much smoother and less stiff

than a straight line.

created by:gaurav shrivastava contact:[email protected]

9. Exaggeration
Accentuating the essence of an idea via the design

and the action. Needs to be used carefully.

Example: Luxo Jr. made smaller to give idea of a child.

10. Secondary Action


Action that results directly from another action.
Used to increase the complexity and interest of a scene.

Example: Body movement is the primary action, facial expression is the secondary action

11. Appeal
Refers to what an audience would like to see. Character cannot be too simple (boring) or too complex.

Examples: Avoid mirror symmetry, assymmetry is interesting.
