Week10: Animation Visualisation



  • Squash and stretch: Squash and stretch can be seen when their bodies straighten up when jumping.
Anticipation: Anticipation is seen when they squat down.

Staging: No clear if there is a staging in the video.

Straight ahead and pose to pose: This is a live-action video and not a animation and hence I do not think this principle can be implemented.

  • Follow through and overlapping action: Follow through and overlapping action of the hoodie string worn by one of them.

  • Slow in and slow out + Timing: When launching themselves into the air, the Slow in and Slow out and Timing principles are executed, showing the weight and acceleration of their movements.

  • Arcs: No arc is displayed.

  • Secondary Action: While in the jump, the Secondary Action of their facial expressions can be seen

  • Exaggeration: None displayed:

  • Solid drawing: Not sure this applys to real-life videos but I would say not.

  • Appeal: The two of them! haha

  • Anticipation- In the video, the character seems to be looking for something until the camera shows the helmet. This shows anticipation of picking up the helmet.

  • Follow through and overlapping action - When the character tries to get up and places his hand on the ground for support, his head nods downwards which gives the feel of him trying to hold himself up.
  • Exaggeration - Explosion of AWESOME proportions

Appeal - Nice graphics for the bubble shield for appeal

Slow in and slow out - Starting from a stand still, he starts running and accelerates quickly.
  • If you watch the entire video, other principles of animation like Secondary actions and Solid drawing are made very prominent throughout the video. This exercise is a very important exercise for all students learning animation and they are the fundamentals for making animation. I hope to learn more about it throughout the course and hopefully produce an EPIC animation!! =)))
