ANIMATE: Principle # 1 Squash & Stretch:
Squash and Stretch (S&S for short) is the principle of applying a contrasting change of shape—from a squash pose to a stretch pose or vice versa—to give a feeling of fleshiness, flexibility, and life in animation. The absence of squash and stretch gives a rigidity or stiffness to the motion.
ANIMATE: Principle # 2 Anticipation :
An anticipation pose is a preparation for the main action of an animated scene, distinct from the action and the reaction. Students created a short animation that allowed their character to be drawn in five poses: the beginning pose, the pre-anticipation pose, the anticipation pose, the pre-action pose, and the action.
ANIMATE: Principle # 3 / Staging: Staging is a powerful tool in an animated storyline. The animator creates a unified composition in every scene. Staging is connected to acting, timing, and setting. The focus is kept on what matters. This is done through placement of a character in the frame, the angle and position of the camera, and sometimes an exaggerated use of props and background.
