12 principles of animation

Today I was checking out this new creative networking site called Hiive. Someone posted a list of videos explaining the 12 principles of animation. I remember reading about these in Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas’ book, The Illusion of Life, and in Walt Stanchfield’s 20 Years of Disney Masterclasses, collected by Don Hahn, but I couldn’t really recall each of them.

These videos turned out to be ideal for a re-cap! The third one, staging, in particular, as it applies especially to production design.
