Principle of understanding how an object exists and moves in a 3D space knowing how to handle form, weight, volume, etc.This year has had its ups and downs, but as 2016 is running out, I am proud, happy and super excited to let all of you know, that… We now have financing! We have our super capable programmer! And we have hit the ground running – making Animation Paper the best software for hand drawn animation! Principle describing the technique of drawing the key poses of an animation first, then drawing in the rest of the frames in between good for composition/consistency Principle describing the technique of drawing each frame of an animation one after another in a sequence good for fluidity Principle used to depict the natural decrease in speed that happens when an object accelerates or slows down often used at the beginning and end of an action Principle used for mapping out a natural path for the subject to move arcs are a common motion used almost everywhere and if an animation strays from it, the movement will look unnatural Principle of expressing weight and flexibility of a subject by squashing them down or stretching them out to exaggerate their interactions with the environment/forces adds personality/fluidity/appeal to a movement Principle of giving a character, or subject, personality or distinction in order to resonate with the audience no matter what the character type, they must be appealing for people to care about their story Principle used to control the number of frames, or speed of an action, to make the animation appear more natural if the timing of an animation is off, the whole motion looks uncanny The original animation process that had each individual frame drawn by hand using traditional materials such as pencil, paper, cel sheets, paint, and ink.Ī list of principles developed by Disney animators Ollie Johnson and Frank Thomas that sought out to define what techniques made animation natural and realistic while maintaining artistic vision still applies to animation today
