AVFX 101 Animation Principles 2
Students continue studies in biped character animation by analyzing and creating more detailed and intricate animations using motion and locomotion. The projects in this class are designed to help students understand principles such as how to maintain a character's balance and locate his/her center of gravity, creating poses for strong silhouettes, shape reversals, how and why a character anticipates a move, motivated action, secondary action and reaction, caricatured motion, how to avoid twinning, appeal in asymmetry, and staging.
