Los 12 principles of animation

Disney studies laid the foundation of traditional animation, and its subsequent spread to the world of 3D computer animation.
During the early years developed a set of rules to keep in mind in any animation for organic effect of the characters, denominating:

“Los 12 principles of animation“.

We have seen above los 12 principles explained on a video animation of Pixar: Knick Knack, with its Castilian translation of the English terms.

• Squash and stretch
• Anticipation
• Staging
• Straight ahead action and pose to pose
• Follow through and overlapping action
• Slow in and slow out
• Arcs
• Secondary action
• Timing
• Exaggeration
• Solid drawing
• Appeal

We can see other versions on different works, performed with great sympathy.

The next version of the explanation has rote purposes, as the author says.

Designed as a memory aid, hopefully after watching this a few times, you won’t be able to forget what the principles of animation are.

If you want a more detailed commentary on Spanish version, in the following video you can extend these concepts

y para terminar una versión muy minimalista y educativa, que la disfrutes !!!
