[WEEK 9] Animation Research

Animation styles that can help convey the content in an interesting manner while keeping it engaging in its fast-pace. The simplicity and accessibility- low learning curve and threshold- is appealing to my work in its current progress as I have a lot of scenes that I would like to flow smoother, and I would need to be efficient with my work if I wish to make the animation as polished as I can possibly accomplish.

Observations:

• pronounced/exaggerated squash and stretch helps to enhance the animation.

• Less is more. Sometimes, strong fundamentals can show animation better than strictly using a frame-by-frame flowing animation.

• Unsure of the exact animation process involved but it seems like I can execute a similar style via the puppet tool in Toon Boom Harmony.
