Filmmaker

If you're building anything that needs to feel cinematic, this applies Disney's 12 principles of animation to video storytelling. It's not about making cartoons. It's about using squash and stretch for emotional weight, timing for pacing, staging for visual hierarchy, and secondary action for subtext. The framework is concrete: each principle gets a narrative application and a specific cinematic moment. Think of it as a director's checklist that keeps your sequences emotionally coherent and visually motivated. Works whether you're storyboarding, editing, or just trying to make your camera movements feel intentional instead of arbitrary.
