The 12 Principles of Animation

• 1 The 12 Principles
• 1.1 Squash and stretch
• 1.2 Anticipation
• 1.3 Staging
• 1.4 Straight Ahead Action and Pose to Pose

• 1.7 Arc
• 1.8 Secondary Action

• 1.10 Exaggeration

Your job has two parts. First you need to research these 12 principles and describe each in a blog post. Second you can use any app or animation style that we have already used or one that you want to experiment with and you must create an animation that displays each principle.

Post each animation and description together on your blog along with one self evaluation for the whole assignment.
