Across
- 1. intensifying actions, emotions, or characteristics in order to capture the audience’s interest.
- 3. A curved visual path for a character’s actions from one extreme to another. This creates motion that has more expression and is less stiff
- 5. in and slow out – References the timing of an object or figure at the beginning and the end of a sequence. Created in animation by including more in-between frames at the beginning and end of an action, with few frames in the middle of the action
- 7. Creating away for the audience to expect and be ready for the next action
- 9. action The animation principle focused on the importance of smaller actions to support the main action.
- 10. drawing the animation principle that considers how to represent the weight, depth, and balance of a 3D figure in a 2D space
- 11. and Stretch A technique where an animated character or object is drawn in a more exaggerated way to show velocity, momentum, and mass. Ex: a bouncing ball looks squashed when it hits the ground and stretched when it’s in the air.
Down
- 2. action A slight variation in the timing and speed of free or loose parts in an object to make it more natural. Maintains constant flow between phases of action.
- 4. the act of showing or presenting an idea in a completely clear manner, so the audience will understand what the message is
- 5. ahead Animating an action from the first drawing to the end of the sequence in order.
- 6. The animation principle that the number of frames used for an action determines how long that action is on the screen.
- 7. the animation principle that requires drawings to have visual interest and be pleasing to look at.
- 8. to pose Sketching out the key poses first before filling in the in-between poses
- 9. and Stretch A technique where an animated character or object is drawn in a more exaggerated way to show velocity, momentum, and mass. Ex: a bouncing ball looks squashed when it hits the ground and stretched when it’s in the air.
