Week10_Lab1 (Exercise 1 and 2)

12 basic principles of animation

1. Squash and Stretch
2. Anticipation
3. Staging
4. Straight ahead action 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

1. Squash and Stretch - This principal is involved in this video, as kevin jumps, his hands and legs are stretched out which involved the principle.
2. Anticipation - This principle is also involved as kevin was preparing for his actions to begin thus involving the principle.

2. Anticipation - This principle is once again used, as jeremy is preparing for his acions to punch vanan, whihc involved the principle.
7. Arcs - This principle is involved as when jeremy punches vanan, there is a form of curve in his punching which form an arc, where this principle is involved.
10. Exaggeration - This principle is also involved, as jeremy is about to punch vanan, you will be able to see his angry face which shows how angry he was and wanted to attack vanan, and when vanan got hit, he crash on the wall due to the impact of the punch which make it more realistic, this this principle is involved as well.

2. Anticipation - This principle is once again used, as both kevin and jinghong is preparing to throw or catch for their actions, thus the principle is used.
1. Squash and Stretch - This principle is used again, as both kevin and jinghong throws and catch the ball, they stretched their hands to throw and catch the ball and also squad down when throw and catching the ball, thus the principle is involved.
5. Follow through and overlapping action - This principle is used, as both jinghong and kevin throws the ball, their movement follow up after throwing the ball and to a stop, where the principle is used.

2. Anticipation - This principle is again used, as both vanan and jinghong is faking one another, their also preparing to throw the ball at each other without giveing them time to react, thus the principle is used.
5. Follow through and overlapping action - This principle is again used, as both vanan and jinghong throw the balls, their hands follow through their actions and to a stop where the principle is involved.

2. Anticipation - This principle is also involved here, as hussain is getting prepared to run up the stairs, thus the principle is used.
7. Arcs - This principle is used, as hussain is running up the stairs, his hand motions from a circular shape, where the principle is involved.

2. Anticipation - This principle is also involved here, as jeremy get ready to do push-up, thus this principle is used.
1. Squash and Stretch - This principal is involved, as jeremy is doing push-ups, his arms and legs are stretching up and down, which the principle is involved.
3. Staging - This principle is used, as jeremy is already prepared and in push-up position, and what he going to do next is also predictable, so staging is involved here.

Reflection

A fun exercise!! Finally can go out of the lab and have some fun!! Using the 12 principles of animation, we can know how should a video be made to include these principles in it, to make the video attractive and much more interesting, to attract the audiences. We can implement these principles in our maya animation next time(very soon), and I think we gonna do animation of moving objects in maya, finally something that can move around and interact in Maya!
