Problems are challenges to creative minds. Without problems,
there would be little reason to think at all."

an·i·ma·tion
/ˌanəˈmāSH(ə)n/
the technique of photographing successive drawings or positions of puppets or models to create an illusion of movement when the movie is shown as a sequence.
ILLUSTRATOR FRAME BY FRAME ANIMATION: Let's create our first animation - Using Illustrator, students created twenty sequential artboards suggesting motion. The artboards were saved as pngs and uploaded to Photoshop to create a fun, looping gif.
ANIMATE: Challenge 1: Creative Line - Using Animate, students created a 30 frame 'Begin at the End' animation using features such as Convert to Frame-by-Frame and basic drawing tools.

ANIMATE: Principle # 1 Squash & Stretch:
Squash and Stretch (S&S for short) is the principle of applying a contrasting change of shape—from a squash pose to a stretch pose or vice versa—to give a feeling of fleshiness, flexibility, and life in animation. The absence of squash and stretch gives a rigidity or stiffness to the motion.
ANIMATE: Principle # 2 Anticipation :
An anticipation pose is a preparation for the main action of an animated scene, distinct from the action and the reaction. Students created a short animation that allowed their character to be drawn in five poses: the beginning pose, the pre-anticipation pose, the anticipation pose, the pre-action pose, and the action.
ANIMATE: Principle # 3 / Staging: Staging is a powerful tool in an animated storyline. The animator creates a unified composition in every scene. Staging is connected to acting, timing, and setting. The focus is kept on what matters. This is done through placement of a character in the frame, the angle and position of the camera, and sometimes an exaggerated use of props and background.
