Exploration 2 – Timing and Spacing - Part 1
Description:
Create stop motion / hand drawn animation that clearly demonstrate the principles of slow in/ slow out, timing, anticipation, follow through, and squash and stretch.

1) ___ Hold first keyframe, No In betweens, Hold second keyframe.
2) ___ Hold first keyframe, 1 in-between Hold second keyframe
3) ___ Hold first keyframe, 2 in-betweens Hold second keyframe
4) ___ Hold first keyframe, 3 in-betweens Hold second keyframe
5) ___ Hold first keyframe, 4 in-betweens Hold second keyframe
6) ___ Hold first keyframe, 5 in-betweens Hold second keyframe
7) ___ Hold first keyframe, 7 in-betweens Hold second keyframe
8) ___ Hold first keyframe, 10 in-betweens Hold second keyframe
9) ___ Hold first keyframe, 15 in-betweens Hold second keyframe
10)___ Hold first keyframe, 20 in-betweens Hold second keyframe
_________ SLOW OUT TESTS Various timings with Slow out / Ease out
11) ___ Hold first keyframe, very slow out final position out of frame About 30 frames
12) ___ Hold first keyframe, medium slow out final position out of frame About 15 frames
13) ___ Hold first keyframe, quick slow out final position out of frame About 7 frames
_________ SLOW IN TESTS Various timings with Slow in / Ease in
14) ___ Start position out of frame, very slow in, Hold last keyframe two seconds
15) ___ Start position out of frame, medium slow in, Hold last keyframe two seconds
16) ___ Start position out of frame, quick slow in, Hold last keyframe two seconds
_________ SLOW IN / SLOW OUT TESTS Various timings with Slow in / Ease in
17) ___ Hold first keyframe, 15 in-betweens Hold second keyframe
18) ___ Hold first keyframe, 15 in-betweens spacing weighted to ends Hold second keyframe
_________ SLOW IN / SLOW OUT TESTS Various timings with Slow in / Ease in
(The more anticipation the faster the action can be. )
19) ___ Hold first keyframe, 5 in-betweens Hold second keyframe
20) ___ Hold first keyframe, 10 in-betweens Hold second keyframe
_________ SLOW IN / SLOW OUT PENDULUM Swing loop 24 Frames Per Second
21) ___ Looping animation 1 second loop LOOPING 5 times in Dragon
Using a single shape, start from a static position, hold for 3 seconds, move the shape back and
forth 5 times (Loop) then come to a rest.
Start the move with Anticipation. Use a smooth Ease In / Out for extreme positions.
Use Follow Through and Decay to a gradual stop.
much more loose. Start the move with Anticipation. Use Ease In/Out, and Decay to a gradual stop.
Using a 2 jointed (three section) shape, Start from a static position and
move the jointed shape back and forth 5 times (Loop) then come to a rest. Use Follow Through
and Drag to ‘break the joints’ suggesting a sense of weight for the shape.
5th Animation: Sine_Wave.
Using the jointed shape or a new jointed shape, propel the shape the screen along a path defined
by a sine wave. Be sure to keep the joints on the path to create a sense of smooth fluid motion.

21) ___ Looping animation 1 second loop LOOPING 5 times in Dragon
22) ___ Looping animation 2 second loop LOOPING 5 times in Dragon
Exploration 2 – Timing and Spacing -Conclusion
Description:
To create stop motion animation using paper silhouette cut-outs, that clearly demonstrate
the principles of timing, slow in / slow out, anticipation, and follow through.
These animations will be using position as well as rotation to create the sense of weight.
1st Animation: Drag.
Using a single shape, start from a static position, hold for 3 seconds, move the shape back and
forth 5 times (Loop) then come to a rest.
Start the move with Anticipation. Use a smooth Ease In / Out for extreme positions.
Use Follow Through and Decay to a gradual stop.
2nd Animation: Stagger.
Using a single shape, start from a static
position, create a stagger animation that starts and ends in the same position. Start the move with Anticipation. Decay to a gradual stop. Use a stagger motion to suggest a
sprig loaded object.
3rd Animation: Oscillation. Using the same set up as the Stagger animation, except the spring is
much more loose. Start the move with Anticipation. Use Ease In/Out, and Decay to a gradual stop.
4th Animation: Jointed.
Using a 2 jointed (three section) shape, Start from a static position and
move the jointed shape back and forth 5 times (Loop) then come to a rest. Use Follow Through
and Drag to ‘break the joints’ suggesting a sense of weight for the shape.
5th Animation: Sine_Wave.
Using the jointed shape or a new jointed shape, propel the shape the screen along a path defined
by a sine wave. Be sure to keep the joints on the path to create a sense of smooth fluid motion.
Exploration 3 Exploration 3 Hand-drawn Ball Bounce
Create a looping hand-drawn ball bounce, incorporating the principles of animation. You will create two ball bounces, one heavy, the other a light ball. Both will need to have a clean entrance and exit so the bounce can be looped. (We don't want to see the ball pop on and suddenly disappear.)
Light Ball:
Heavy Ball:
Exploration 4 Cut-out Animation
Description:
Create a 15 second Silhouette Cut-out animation. The animation will be used as a Station ID for the SyFy
