After analysing and understanding the 12 principles of animation I have begun to fully understand animating motions, movement and timing. I found that the presentation was really helpful, I had heard of the 12 Principles beforehand, however I hadn't really had someone explaining them to me.
I already had common knowledge of the first principle; Squash and Stretch. However the second, Anticipation, I had never really thought about thoroughly. Whenever I have drawn characters in action I had never really had the thought that "Anticipation is the opposite of direction". Personally I think that this saying is really important and I'm positive that I will always refer to this one especially.
Another principle that I really liked was the idea of exaggeration to demonstrate forces and making my animations more appealing, and also that its not about making things bigger. I enjoy how with these rules, you can achieve clarity and strength in your finished animation from referencing each principle.
Overall, briefly studying the 12 Principles of animations has helped put into perspective multiple goals to aim for and touch up on within my future animation processes.
