IN3D Week 10 Lab 1

    Principles of Animation


    Staging
    There are 2 people standing at a distance away. This is to tell the audience clearly that they are throwing the wallet to each other.

    Anticipation

    As we can see from the video, that the girl on the left is anticipating to throw the wallet to the opposite party. This is to show the preparation of an action that will be done.

    The girl in the video above shows that she is getting ready to jump.

    Exaggeration
    The person is trying to run in a normal way, but at the same time she is trying to exaggerate by expressing her emotions while she is running. 

    Timing
    This is a slow motion run.  Speed affects the timing. It also means that the person can change his/her actions when they are doing a specific task.

    Straight Ahead Action and Pose to Pose
    This action is fast moving. The action is being planned out and it starts from the beginning to the end.


    Ball Animation


    What is ease-in-ease-out in reference to animation?

    Ease-in-ease-out is also known as slow in and slow out. Animation looks more realistic if it has more frames near the beginning and the end of a movement, and fewer in the middle. This principle is being used for characters moving between 2 extreme poses, such as sitting down and standing up. It is also used for in-animation moving objects such as bouncing ball.

    What does frames per second mean?
    It means the number of image frames being shown within one second. This is used for the measurement of a video clip.


    This is an example of ease-in-ease-out.
