Lesson

The Soul of Motion

DESCRIPTION

Introduction to the 12 Principles & The Bouncing Ball

In our opening session, we strip away the complexity of high-end rigs and focus on the heartbeat of all animation: The 12 Principles. You will learn that animation isn't just about moving an object from Point A to Point B; it’s about conveying weight, impact, and intent.

What We’ll Cover:
The History of the Craft: A brief look at how the masters at Disney and Warner Bros. developed the foundations we use today.

Squash and Stretch: Learning how to give objects a sense of flexibility and life.

Timing and Spacing: Understanding how the distance between frames determines the "feel" of a movement.

Software Onboarding: A guided tour of your digital workspace, ensuring your timeline and brush settings are optimized for 2D animation.

Key Takeaway:
By the end of this lesson, you will stop seeing drawings as static images and start seeing them as physical entities subject to the laws of gravity and momentum.

Next Step: Would you like the description for the first assignment to go along with this lesson?
