12 principles of animation

The 12 principles of animation were introduced by Disney's animators, Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas, in their book 'The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation'. Published in 1981, it is widely considered to be the best animation book of all time.

The actual examples need work but I do like the choice of colors and typeface in this video. Good eye for design :)

[@aringuha6263]

Timing comes with spacing. I don't know why many forgets about this

[@soso3792]

When you do squash and stretch, the volume should stay consistent. The rectangle should be narrower when it’s stretching.

😂🤣preparing for my exams thank you so much... Our teacher did not provide us notes so i have to take help from goggle and RUclips thank you so much for this video

[@Raghudesign]

Thanks for creating such an short n amazing video

[@benjaminbeltran7004]

The example animations are so stiff and lifeless. How ironic lol.

[@TheMCBlender]

Very good! I should use these more often for my animations.

[@Jsanch123]

You should be using a few of the 12 principles in every animation you do. These principles are the very basis of animation :) you can't have good animation without them.

[@TheMCBlender]

Jeremy Sanchez gee thanks

[@joureel4682]

Alan Becker does that too if u know him

[@alwayslookingatself]

@@joureel4682 Becker's video on this is great. This short video is just a minimal overview.

[@ShwibiTech]

The principles are correct, but the animations...
Let's just say it's better than me.

[@indianstunts]

it's beauty is it's simplicity

[@ChallenCarland]

you guys complain too much, its a good video

[@joelpmoncy3340]

So these are the 12 principles of animation

[@hirenprabtani8796]

Super

[@christianangelodumaop3026]

I'm a beginner and thank u for the tips

[@NinjabeeRedtricity]

Do you have any idea how much I want to thank you for this?

[@pysces85]

Some of the examples seem more like motion graphics than animation.

[@franfinesim]

that is the point, some people want to use the 12 principles for typography

[@muammalsattar9757]

There's a mistake in 3:21
The subject lean backward before start moving .

[@wyaber]

The examples are a bit stiff. I would prefer a more detailed video, like Alan Becker’s

[@CristianDiaz-um8cv]

Oh yeah yeah

[@liffaman]

these are the principles indeed.. but these are also pretty bad animations too.

[@this_is_NOT_a_test]

I've found better explainer videos of the 12 Principles of Animation on RUclips. And, Wikipedia has the official names of the 12 Principles.

[@mobi8046]

nice but no 9 should be straight ahead and pose to pose

[@soso3792]

I thought SA & PtP should be number 4?

[@mobi8046]

@@soso3792 sorry bout my comment 3 years ago. I was an idiot lol. There is no actual order of the principles. As long as we apply these principles is what actually matters.

[@soso3792]

Mobi Ahh, that’s true.

[@SarsstudioHD]

How about you guys watch the Alan Becker version ;%:

[@beastlymarek]

Agreed

[@Fireafyanimations299]

[@edoman6933]

This is the worst video about principles I have ever seen.
