This worksheet is based on a You Tube video demonstrating the principles with many examples. The video is created by Alan Becker (user: AlanBeckerTutorials) and can be found at the following address:  \n[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDqjIdI4bF4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDqjIdI4bF4)  \nINTRO  \n1)   and   are the legendary animators that first described  \nthe 12 principles of animation.  \nPRINCIPLE \\#1-    \n2) An object’s   ,   ,   &   are emphasized by this principle.  \n3) A   object should have more squash and stretch while a   object should have less squash and stretch.  \n4) Between a water balloon and a cannonball, which should have more squash and stretch?    \n5) When using this principle, one must keep the   of the object consistent. If the height is increased, then the width should be decreased, and vice versa.  \n6) True or false? A moving ball should be stretched in the same direction as the movement    \n7) True or false? A slow moving ball should be stretch and squashed more than a fast moving ball    \nPRINCIPLE \\#2-    \n8) This principle helps communicate actions to the audience by preparing them for the    \n9) True or false? Anticipation is the addition of an extra minor action to help the viewer anticipate the upcoming main action.  \n_______________  \n10) True or false? Anticipation makes it easier for the audience to follow the action    \n11)   actions are two actions that happen at the same time. This can be confusing to the viewer if not done correctly.  \n12) True or false? We can use multiple levels of anticipation by adding several consecutive extra actions. While this allows the audience to better understand the action, it does add considerably more complexity for the animator    \nPRINCIPLE \\#3-    \n13) This principle is the presentation of any idea so that it is completely and unmistakably    \n14) This principle can apply to many areas including   ,   ,     &   and   .  \n15) True or false? Staging involves controlling where the viewers should be focusing on the screen    \n16) True or false? Bad staging is when different elements are competing for stage presence at the same time causing confusion as to where on the screen the viewer should focus   \n17) True or false? To demonstrate a character’s reaction to an event, the camera should be far away    \n18) True or false? For large action scenes, the camera should be close up    \n19) True or false? The main action in the scene should usually be in the center or on one of the “third” lines   \n20) True or false? If a character is looking to the right side, that character should usually be placed near the left hand side of the stage. This usually allows the viewer to see what the character is looking at.    \n21) True or false? After creating the main action in a scene, the animator should proceed to fill all available space with as much detail and action possible.    \n22) Proper   involves making sure one action is completed before another begins. It might also involve inserting short pauses between actions.  \n23) Important text that the viewer needs to read should be left on screen so that it can be read out loud   times.  \n24) True or false? It is often useful to go over the top in order to convey a message to the audience. For example, to show that a character is a fitness guru, one might insert several random exercises during a normal morning routine   \nPRINCIPLE \\#4-    \n25) This principle describes two methods for animating. The first method,   , is when you create the first frame, then the second, then the third and so on.  \n26) The second method described by this principle is named   In this method, animators draw the first frame and then the last frame of each main pose and then go back and fill in the rest later.  \n27) True or false? Pose to pose animation makes it easier to be certain that the character’s size doesn’t accide","cbCaip6Cad3uTHWU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip6Cad3uTHWU","pdf",447448,"English","# Introduction\n# Principle 1 - Squash and Stretch\n# Principle 2 - Anticipation\n# Principle 3 - Staging\n# Principle 4 - Straight Ahead Action and Pose to Pose","[{\"question\":\"What is the worksheet based on?\",\"answer\":\"It is based on a YouTube video demonstrating the 12 animation principles, with many examples.\"},{\"question\":\"Who originally described the 12 principles of animation?\",\"answer\":\"Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas, Disney animators, first described them in a 1981 book.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Principle #1 focus on?\",\"answer\":\"Principle #1 emphasizes squash and stretch and the consistent proportions of an object while it deforms.\"}]","12 Principles of Animation - Animation Principles Worksheet | PDF"]
