  27. Squash and Stretch Timing Anticipation Staging Follow Through Pose to Pose Slow In, Show Out Arcs Exaggeration Secondary Action Appeal 11 Principles

  28. Squash and Stretch • Movement emphasizes rigidity • Preserve volume

  29. Squash and Stretch

  30. Squash and Stretch

  31. Squash and Stretch

  32. Timing • Timing, or the speed of an action gives meaning to movement • Weight, Scaling, Emotion

  33. Timing • Two keyframes of a head • No: hit by a tremendous force • ONE: hit by a frying pan • TWO: nervous tic • THREE: dodging a brick • FOUR: a crisp order “Move it!” • FIVE: friendly “Come on-hurry” • SIX: tracing a pretty girl • SEVEN: Getting a better look • EIGHT: Searching for the peanut butter • NINE: Considering thoughtfully • TEN: stretch a sore muscle

  34. Anticipation • The preparation of an action • Revealing • Indicating Speed, Weight • Directing Attention

  35. Aniticipation

  36. Anticipation

  37. Anticipation

  38. Staging • Staging is the presentation of an idea so that it is completely and unmistakably clear. • Readability • Personality • Mood

  39. Follow Through • The termination of an action • Weight and drag • Initiation • Overlapping

  40. Pose-to-Pose • Keyframes

  41. Slow In, Slow Out • The spacing of the inbetweens • Non-linear interpolation

  42. Slow In, Slow Out • The spacing of the inbetweens • Non-linear interpolation

  43. Arcs • The visual path of action from one extreme to another is always described by an arc
