Animation - Principles of Animation
The Core Building Blocks to Be Successful in Any Animation Style
The Principles of Animation are concepts that are very important to both 2D and 3D animation.
To an extent, these are the foundation of what all animations should be built upon.
The also apply to all styles of animation.
If we want something more realistic, we should use these principles in a more subtle, nuanced manner.
If we want something more cartoony, we should really exaggerate these principles to their fullest.
