12 Principles of Animation Videos (Alan Becker)

[Rodney]

Alan Becker has posted a series of videos covering the 12 Principles of Animation (according to Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston).

The imagery is simplistic and actually enhances the lessons.

(For those familiar with the principles make sure you get past the first few videos as they get better as they go)

 

1. (Squash and Stretch)

2. (Anticipation)

3. (Staging)

4. (Straight Ahead and Pose to Pose)

5. (Follow Through and Overlapping Action)

6. (Slow In and Slow Out)

7. (Arcs)

8. (Secondary Action)

9. (Timing)

10. (Exaggeration)

11. (Solid Drawing)

12. (Appeal)

 

Well worth a look!

 

He plans to continue with videos covering walk cycles etc.
