Principles of Animation: Bad Examples

Staging:













Presenting an idea so that it is unmistakably clear...
















Anticipation:












The preparation of an action...


















Squash and Stretch:









Defining the rigidity and mass of an object by distorting its shape during an action....







Exaggeration:







Accentuating the essence of an idea via the design and the action...







Timing and Motion:









Spacing actions to define the weight and size of objects and the personality of characters...







Secondary Action:







The action of an object resulting from another action...








Follow through and overlapping action:







The termination of an action and establishing its relationship to the next action...







Arcs:







The visual path of action for natural movement...








Slow in and out:









The spacing of the in-between frames to subtly of timing and movement...
