Animation Principles Advanced

This goes beyond the basic twelve principles to cover when and why to break the rules. You'll learn subtle applications like using squash and stretch in facial animation where viewers never consciously notice it, or deliberately omitting anticipation to create surprise and comedy. The skill covers compositional psychology in staging, when to switch between straight ahead and pose-to-pose methods mid-shot, and how negative space creates emotional tension. It's clearly written for animators who already know the fundamentals and want to understand the nuanced choices that professional animators make when the textbook approach isn't enough.
