!Character Design!

The original animators at Disney Studios in the ’30s developed 12 Principles of

12 Principles of
Animation

Animation that are still in use today. !
!
Although the principles were developed using traditional hand drawn animation
techniques; they can and should be applied to any form of animation — from hand
drawn to stop motion to computer generated art. !
!
The principles are:!

Gives the illusion of weight and mass. Applies in all forms of animation from a
bouncing ball to a walking person.!

In animation, exaggeration is the caricature of expressions, poses and actions.
Without exaggeration, animation can appear stiff and mechanical. Exaggeration
can be subtle or broad depending on the style of the film or action. Exaggeration
can also help a film its appeal.!

4	
  
11/4/13	
  

The preparation of an action. This can be as broad as a golfer’s back swing or as
subtle as a person looking off screen to anticipate someone’s arrival.!

Use staging to direct the audience’s eye to the story being told. Each shot needs
to communicate one idea; so the pose, shot length and camera angle all need to
work together to set the stage clearly.!

These are two different ways to approach animating. With straight ahead action the
animator starts at the beginning of the shot and works frame by frame until the end
of the shot. This method doesn’t work well in computer animation but in traditional
animation, it can infuse the action with spontaneity. Pose-to-pose animation is
planned out with key poses done at important intervals throughout the shot. This
method is used almost exclusively in computer animation.!

Closely related techniques that help give the illusion of physics in the world.  When
the main mass of the character stops moving the arms, hair, clothing, etc. don’t
stop immediately. Instead, these parts continue to move before settling.  When the
character starts moving again those same elements will drag behind the body
before catching up.!

Slow-ins and -outs soften the action at the beginning and end of an animation to

Use staging to direct the audience’s eye to the story being told. Each shot needs

make movements more realistic.!

to communicate one idea; so the pose, shot length and camera angle all need to
work together to set the stage clearly.!

5	
  
11/4/13	
  

Secondary action enhances the main action without overwhelming it. In a walk
cycle; the body and legs could be considered the main action while the arms, hair
and facial animation would be a secondary action.!

Timing: How much time you allow the character to move from pose to pose.  Point
of view is the best way to figure out the timing. What works for live action doesn’t
translate directly to animation, which requires added exaggeration of movements.!

Solid Drawing: Applying the basic principles of drawing — form, weight, volume —
to animation. This is less applicable in computer animation and stop motion.!

Appeal: Appeal is often misinterpreted as “cute.”  But appeal is equivalent to an
actor’s chemistry. All characters need appeal. Bunnies are cute. Alien villains are
ugly. Without appeal the audience won’t be able to connect with the character.!

HAND-DRAWN ANIMATION 	
  

Types of
Animation

Classical 2D animation is also known
as hand-drawn 2D animation or
traditional animation. In this
technique animators need to make
at least 12 drawings on paper for
one second length of film. The
drawings are later scanned or
captured for post-production using
computer. This technique was the
dominant form of animation in film
and TV series, until the development
of CGI animation.!

Hand-drawn animation takes an extremely long time to achieve a finished product
since it requires that artists drawn each individual frame on a new piece of paper by
hand. The process is painstaking and seemingly impossible yet, in the early days of
animation, it was the only way that anyone knew to make an animated feature. Walt
Disney and several other animators worked tirelessly for months to create “Steamboat
Mickey” and other cartoons that lasted merely a few minutes upon completion.
However, these early short films lead to such success, acclaim, and public joy that
Disney went on to create entire feature-length animated films. This task took hundreds
of artists years to complete but the first film “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” was
an enormous success that helped to spawn an empire. Today, even hand-drawn
animation is aided by technology so the process is not as tiresome as it once was yet
hand drawn animation is still a style that many cartoonists prefer (or at least
incorporate) into their work.

STOP-MOTION ANIMATION 	
  
In digital 2D animation technique, animation frames are drawn directly on software
using mouse or pen tablet. This technique is used mostly for TV series and web
animation.

In stop-motion animation, one needs to set the character or object, in the desired
state or pose against its background to expose a frame, and then do slight
modifications in progression and take another frame. The process is repeated until the
desired length of animation is achieved and shot.


Stop-motion animation is a time consuming mode of animation yet its result is unique
and is something that practically anyone can do. People of all ages—even grade
school aged children—can create and share stop motion videos on YouTube and
world famous directors like Tim Burton have repeatedly used stop-motion animation
techniques to make some of their most famous films (like “The Nightmare Before
Christmas,” for example). Stop motion animation requires the animator to take a photo
of an object, move it slightly, and then take another photo. By combining a sequence
of photos together at a quickened speed the image will give the illusion that the

3D ANIMATION 	
  

objects are moving. A three minute stop-motion video can include over one thousands
pictures and it can take months to complete. Luckily, some phone apps have made it
easier than ever to create these videos and share them on YouTube so all the hard
work is not in vain.

3D animation a general term describing an entire industry
that utilizes 3D animation computer software and
hardware in many types of productions. !

individuals or small studios. These short films are usually done on the side or after
hours as personal projects. Large studios might create a short film to test a new

Fully animated full-length films can take two to four years to create and have a very

The original animators at Disney Studios in the ’30s developed 12 Principles of 12 Principles of Animation Animation that are still in use today. ! ! Although the principles were developed using traditional hand drawn animation techniques; they can and should be applied to any form of animation — from hand drawn to stop motion to computer generated art. ! ! The principles are:! Gives the illusion of weight and mass. Applies in all forms of animation from a bouncing ball to a walking person.! In animation, exaggeration is the caricature of expressions, poses and actions. Without exaggeration, animation can appear stiff and mechanical. Exaggeration can be subtle or broad depending on the style of the film or action. Exaggeration can also help a film its appeal.! 4  
  • 5. 11/4/13   The preparation of an action. This can be as broad as a golfer’s back swing or as subtle as a person looking off screen to anticipate someone’s arrival.! Use staging to direct the audience’s eye to the story being told. Each shot needs to communicate one idea; so the pose, shot length and camera angle all need to work together to set the stage clearly.! These are two different ways to approach animating. With straight ahead action the animator starts at the beginning of the shot and works frame by frame until the end of the shot. This method doesn’t work well in computer animation but in traditional animation, it can infuse the action with spontaneity. Pose-to-pose animation is planned out with key poses done at important intervals throughout the shot. This method is used almost exclusively in computer animation.! Closely related techniques that help give the illusion of physics in the world.  When the main mass of the character stops moving the arms, hair, clothing, etc. don’t stop immediately. Instead, these parts continue to move before settling.  When the character starts moving again those same elements will drag behind the body before catching up.! Slow-ins and -outs soften the action at the beginning and end of an animation to Use staging to direct the audience’s eye to the story being told. Each shot needs make movements more realistic.! to communicate one idea; so the pose, shot length and camera angle all need to work together to set the stage clearly.! 5  
  • 6. 11/4/13   Secondary action enhances the main action without overwhelming it. In a walk cycle; the body and legs could be considered the main action while the arms, hair and facial animation would be a secondary action.! Timing: How much time you allow the character to move from pose to pose.  Point of view is the best way to figure out the timing. What works for live action doesn’t translate directly to animation, which requires added exaggeration of movements.! Solid Drawing: Applying the basic principles of drawing — form, weight, volume — to animation. This is less applicable in computer animation and stop motion.! Appeal: Appeal is often misinterpreted as “cute.”  But appeal is equivalent to an actor’s chemistry. All characters need appeal. Bunnies are cute. Alien villains are ugly. Without appeal the audience won’t be able to connect with the character.! HAND-DRAWN ANIMATION   Types of Animation Classical 2D animation is also known as hand-drawn 2D animation or traditional animation. In this technique animators need to make at least 12 drawings on paper for one second length of film. The drawings are later scanned or captured for post-production using computer. This technique was the dominant form of animation in film and TV series, until the development of CGI animation.! 6  
  • 7. 11/4/13   Hand-drawn animation takes an extremely long time to achieve a finished product since it requires that artists drawn each individual frame on a new piece of paper by hand. The process is painstaking and seemingly impossible yet, in the early days of animation, it was the only way that anyone knew to make an animated feature. Walt Disney and several other animators worked tirelessly for months to create “Steamboat Mickey” and other cartoons that lasted merely a few minutes upon completion. However, these early short films lead to such success, acclaim, and public joy that Disney went on to create entire feature-length animated films. This task took hundreds of artists years to complete but the first film “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” was an enormous success that helped to spawn an empire. Today, even hand-drawn animation is aided by technology so the process is not as tiresome as it once was yet hand drawn animation is still a style that many cartoonists prefer (or at least incorporate) into their work. STOP-MOTION ANIMATION   In digital 2D animation technique, animation frames are drawn directly on software using mouse or pen tablet. This technique is used mostly for TV series and web animation. In stop-motion animation, one needs to set the character or object, in the desired state or pose against its background to expose a frame, and then do slight modifications in progression and take another frame. The process is repeated until the desired length of animation is achieved and shot. Stop-motion animation is a time consuming mode of animation yet its result is unique and is something that practically anyone can do. People of all ages—even grade school aged children—can create and share stop motion videos on YouTube and world famous directors like Tim Burton have repeatedly used stop-motion animation techniques to make some of their most famous films (like “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” for example). Stop motion animation requires the animator to take a photo of an object, move it slightly, and then take another photo. By combining a sequence of photos together at a quickened speed the image will give the illusion that the 3D ANIMATION   objects are moving. A three minute stop-motion video can include over one thousands pictures and it can take months to complete. Luckily, some phone apps have made it easier than ever to create these videos and share them on YouTube so all the hard work is not in vain. 3D animation a general term describing an entire industry that utilizes 3D animation computer software and hardware in many types of productions. ! 7

These short films are usually done on the side or after hours as personal projects. Large studios might create a short film to test a new Two primary types of films are created in the 3D animation realm: fully animated technique or production pipeline.

These films use one or two primary studios for most of the work to keep the effects looking typically take about six months to four years to complete, depending on the scale consistent, but then farm out smaller shots or sequences to other studios to save of the project.
