Animation
Animation is the process of creating an illusion of motion and shape change by means of rapid display of various type of pictures that were made to create a single scene.
Principles of Animation :
Before doing animation, every animator should follow these principles to create a good animation.These principles was evolved from past animation techniques but these principle are also very useful and essential for doing animation.
There are five forms of animlation like Traditional Animation, 2D Animation, 3D Animation, Motion Graphics, Stop Motion.
There are 12 basic principles of animation, they are-
1. Squash and Stretch –
This is the most important principle of animation, it gives the sense of weight and volume to draw an object.
2. Anticipation –
In this principle animator will create a starting scene like that it shows that something will happen, almost nothing happens suddenly.
3. Staging –
Animator creates such type of scene which attract audience so that audience’s attention is directed toward that scene.
4. Straight Ahead –
In this principle, all frames are drawn from beginning to the end and then fill all the interval or scene.
5. Flow through and overlapping action –
Two object’s action have different speed in any scene can easily describe this principle.
6. Slow in and Slow out –
When an abject have maximum acceleration in between and resist on the beginning and end will show this principle’s working.
7. Arc –
Arcs are present in almost all animation as no object will follow straight line and follows some arc in its action.
8. Secondary action –
As with one character’s action second character move shows the multiple dimension of an animation.
9. Timing –
For playing a given action a perfect timing is very important.
10. Exaggeration –
This principle creates extra reality in the scene by developing a proper animation style.
11. Solid drawing –
In this principle, any object will created into 3D form to get realistic visualization of scene.
12. Appeal –
Any character need not be as same as any real character but it somewhat seems to be like that which create a proper thinking in the audience’s mind.
