Pixel Art Animation of a cat pushing a ball of yarn into a bouncing ball animation highlighting all 12 of Disneys principles of animation.
I have created a description gif highlighting some of the 12 principles of animation used in this animation,
Animation-Description.gif. I hope my animation contains solid drawing, appeal and logical staging it also contains the following:
Squash and stretch: In the mounding ball
Anticipation: In the cat's actions prior to the ball being pushed off the fridge.
Straight-ahead action and pose-to-pose: I used the straight-ahead action method to animate the bouncing ball and pose to pose
method to animate the ball of yarn on the fridge being played with by the cat, as it was rolling back and forth allowing me to
reuse frames to save on production times.
Follow-through and overlapping action: I created the ball of yarn with a loose thread so that I could show follow-through and
overlapping action with the thread moving with a force from the previous action.
Slow in and slow out: The ball used slow in and slow out principles.
Arc: The ball of yarn also followed an arc as well as the cat's swishing tail.
Secondary action: There was a secondary action used with the ball splashing in the water and then continuing to drip.
Timing was used along with slow in and slow out following the ball of yarn's action as it moves through the scene.
Exaggeration: Exaggeration can be seen in the water splashing more than it would in reality.
