Principles of Animation

• The principles of animation are majorly known as
  Disneys 12 principles of animation. These were
  introduced in the book The Illusion of Life
  Disney Animation authored by Ollie Johnston and
  Frank Thomas in the year 1981. These principles
  lay down the foundation of animation learning as
  well as industrial operations in the present
  times.

• The primary use of these principles ranges from
  animating any character to introducing any motion
  in the animation work. The closer look at these
  principles will develop a clear understanding of
  the use of these principles. The twelve
  principles are as follows

4
Squash and Stretch

• It is the most important principle amongst the
  rest. The illusion of mass, weight, gravity, and
  flexibility for any animated character are
  achieved through this principle only. This
  principle is largely used in animation and
  television studios.

5
Anticipation

• This principle is all about giving an
  apprehension to the viewers about the very next
  move of a given animated character. The
  application of this principle brings a sense of
  reality in the animation work. This principle
  adds anticipation to the movements of animating
  characters.

6
Staging

• This principle allows for setting up the
  composition of any animating work. It allows an
  animator to draw the attention of viewers on
  important scenes, and keep the non-important
  scenes out the attention of viewers.

7
Straight Ahead Action and Pose to Pose Technique

• Straight Ahead actions emphasize frame-by-frame
  scenes from beginning to end. Pose to Pose
  technique, several keyframes are brought between
  the start frame and the concluding frame.

8
Follow through and Overlapping Action

• This fifth principle of animation is used when a
  moving animating character comes to standstill.
  When an animating character moves, its limbs may
  mover at speed or rate. This is called
  overlapping actions. Further, when such animating
  character stops, the several parts of the
  animating character may take a while to stop.
  This is called follow-through.

9
Slow in and Slow Out

• This principle helps in achieving the animation
  effects relating to starting up, speeding up, and
  slowing down any animating character. This
  provides a more realistic approach to the
  movements of any animating character.

10
Arc

• As the name suggests, this principle is all about
  the physics of the movements of any animating
  character. The animating characters are always
  made to follow an arc or path to reflect
  realistic movements.

11
Exaggeration

• The real essence of the animation lies in the
  dynamic effects and not in the realistic effects.
  This principle allows an animator to exaggerate
  the effects of animating character and make it a
  fun-filled experience for viewers.

12
Appeal

• The animation work must be appealing to its
  viewers. This principle is all about bringing
  together the entire animation work to life and
  making it look dynamic to its viewers.
