AM: Class 1 Week 2


I'm a little late posting this update, but I've been super busy with AM (yay!). Week 2! This week we learned about the 12 Principles of Animation. What are the 12 Principles of Animation? They are the building blocks of all animation. They were created by the "Nine Old Men" at Disney over 8 decades ago! Wow, right!? These guys are animation ninjas! They figured it all out, and we are still using the same principles today.

The 12 Principles of Animation:
1. Squash & Stretch
2. Anticipation
3. Staging
4. Straight Ahead & Pose to Pose
5. Overlapping
6. Slow In, Slow Out (Ease In/Ease Out)
7. Arcs
8. Secondary Action
9. Timing
10. Exaggeration
11. Solid Drawing or Solid Posing
12. Appeal

Week 2 started off with poses, we start animating in week 3. Here is my work for week 2!
