Define squash and stretch as a principle of animation

Squash and stretch is applied to give a sense of weight and/or flexibility to objects or even to people.

Define Anticipation as a principle of animation

Use anticipation to add some realism when you want to prepare your audience for some action. Consider what people do when they prepare to do something.

Define staging as a principle of animation

You need to think about where you're putting the camera, what it's focusing on, where the 'actors' will be and what they're going to do.

Define straight ahead action and pose to pose as a principle of animation

2 different approaches to drawing out animations. Straight ahead action scenes involve animating each frame from beginning to end. With pose to pose, animators start by drawing key frames and they fill in the intervals later.

Define follow through and overlapping action as a principle of animation

make movement in animation more realistic and create the impression characters are following the laws of physics. Follow through concerns the parts of the body that continue to move when a character stops. The parts then pull back towards the centre of mass, just like with a real person. Follow through also applies to objects. Parts of the body don't move at the same rate and overlapping action demonstrates this. (follow the laws of physics)

Define ease in and ease out as a principle of animation

In the real world, objects have to accelerate as they start moving and slow down before stopping. Ease in, ease out adds more realism to your animation and will help the audience identify and sympathise with your characters. (follow the laws of physics)

Define arcs as a principle of animation

In real life, most actions have an arched trajectory. To achieve greater realism, animators should follow this principle. (follow the laws of physics)

Define secondary action as a principle of animation

This principle of animation helps emphasise the main action within a scene by adding an extra dimension to your characters and objects. Subtleties, such as the way a person swings their arms while walking down the street, give colour to your creations and make them appear more human.

Define timing as a principle of animation

Think about the size and weight of your characters in relation to what and who are around them.

Define exaggeration as a principle of animation

exaggeration should be true to reality to an extent, but made more extreme - often pushed just beyond the realms of realism, to make their characters pop and add fun to their adventures.

Define solid drawing as a principle of animation

This is because you need to make your creations feel 3D and give them weight and volume.

Define appeal as a principle of animation

the characters should be interesting enough to make viewers want to know how their story develops.
