= Animation =
Animation is the process of playing several still images in quick sucession to
create the appearance of motion.
== aproaches ==
* keyframing
* data-driven
* procedural
* simulation
== perception of motion ==
Humans can only process about 12 images per second. If an image moves faster
than this, the illusion of continous motion is created.
== principles of animation ==
1) squash/stretch
* helps feel object feel fluid by applying a change to its shape as it moves
* applies to both 3d and 2d animation
2) anticipation
* characters take a moments to get ready to follow through with an action
* give time for viewer to understand what is happening
* IE smile before laughing, reach into pocket before pulling out wallet
3) staging
4) straight ahead action and post to pose
5) follow through and overlapping action
6) slow in and slow out
* things take time to speed up and slow down
7) arc
8) secondary action
9) timing
* relates to speed of animation events (key frames)
10) exaggeration
11) solid drawing
12) appeal
