CORE PRINCIPLES (OR HOW TO MAKE IT INTERESTING)

•  Squash and St re tch •  Ant ic ipat ion •  Fol low through •  Slow in / s low out •  Timing •  Secondary ac t ion (o r ac t ion/ react ion)

SQUASH & STRETCH

¨  Give we igh t and f l ex i b i l i t y t o ob jec t s

¨  Vo lume does no t change when squashed o r s t r e t ched ¤  ( C h a n g e s i n s i z e d e n o t e

ANTICIPATION

¨  Prepare the audience for an act ion ¤  M a k e s t h e a c t i o n s e e m m o r e r e a l i s t i c ¤  E x a m p l e s :

¨  Lack of Ant ic ipat ion creates ant ic l imax and surpr ise.

SECONDARY ACTION

¨  Heightens interest and adds real is t ic complexi ty

¨  Careful of Conf l ic t ¤  S h o u l d n o t i n t e r f e r e

¨  Facial Animat ion ¤  B e f o r e o r A f t e r A c t i o n

SLOW IN, SLOW OUT

¨  Acce le ra t ion / Dece le ra t ion ¨  Objec ts s low down as they

approach the i r des t ina t ion ¨  Ease in / Ease ou t

EXAGGERATION

¨  A per fect imi tat ion of real i ty can look stat ic and dul l

¨  Uncanny Val ley ¨  Essence ¨  Balance

TECHNICS: TIMING

HOW

¨  R e d = e a s e i n a n d e a s e o u t + a n t i c i p a t i o n ( d r a w s b a c k ) .

OPTIONS: MOVE IT AROUND

Translation: or the change of position:

Rotation: or the change of direction

OPTION: CHANGE THE DIRECTION

Dilation: or the change of size

OPTION: CHANGE THE SIZE

COMBINE ALL THREE + TIMING
