Artefact Presentation

Research Question: What are the key principles of animation and how can they create a more believable character?
Artefact 1 - Key principle: ANTICIPATION

Purpose of Anticipation:
>To communicate to an audience that a character is initiating a movement/action
>To communicate to an audience that something is going to happen, and makes sure they are looking in the right place.

I researched ways in which ANTICIPATION can be effective:
>Characters eyes must be set in the direction where the action is going to take place
>The anticipation action must follow a path in the opposite direction prior to the main movement.
FOR EXAMPLE
>Before bending down to pick something up, they will make a slight move upwards in the opposite direction to the main downwards movement
>Before throwing something, they will pull their arm and body back before the throw.


ANTICIPATION ARTEFACT TESTS


I know the it needs to be sped up when he is froze in the air...


I prefered this action to the jump, I think it shows the anticipation better.



The before and after.....Your thoughts please!
