Research Project: Artefacts

Research Question: What are the key principles of animation and how can they create a more believable character?

Key Principles I am looking into: 

>Anticipation

>Exaggeration

>Secondary Action

>Timing

I have been doing some observation on anticipation to start with, and have found some very useful online videos/tutorials. The video below uses a character in 3DS Max, showing Anticipation and the build up of a certain action can be used effectively.

This link also provides files for examples of all 12 principles of animation, so has become veery useful for practising potential artefacts!
